Osama would be a RW'er
Here is something that the world must know about. Kick it, Nominate it, and send it to everybody you know, both Liberal and Conservative.

From Osama's 'Letter to America'

Osama: We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, *homosexuality*, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest.

(Joe Farah wanted Stephen G. Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sandra Day
O'Connor, David H. Souter, John Paul Stevens and Anthony Kennedy impeached. They were the Supreme Court justices who ruled against 'sodomy' being a crime.
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33447)

(According to Christianity Today magazine, Rushdoony (A Christian Theocrat) believes that under a Theocracy, "True to the letter of Old Testament law, homosexuals... adulterers, blasphemers, astro-logers, and other will be executed."
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/library/OPPOSITION/vol1num2/art5.htm)

(The American Family Association think that homosexuals in this country should be thrown in jail for sodomy, but they also argue that the Bible prescribes death for them. AFA literature states that "...the Bible is unambiguous and consistent in its prohibitions of homosexuality."
(Homosexuality: Current Thinking & Biblical Guidelines, AFA)
http://www.afaexposed.com)

(Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of
Church and State, said the Christian Coalition through its publications promoted the sale of Legislating Immorality a book that calls for the death penalty for homosexuals. Lynn said "Here is Ralph Reed selling hate literature...at the same time he says that violence is never justified...I do not remember Martin Luther King peddling hate literature."
http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_0027.htm)

Osama: Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?

(The Rev. Pat Robertson Friday demanded Congress impeach President Clinton, saying resignation is too good for a ''debauched, debased and defamed'' leader.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/special/starr/starr078.htm)

(According to Rolling Stone, the impeachment effort against President
Bill Clinton "was reportedly conceived at a June 1997 meeting of the
Council for National Policy (A secretive RW group) in Montreal.

1. He is a right winger
I never doubted that for a second. Pretty much the same as Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell.

2. Let's not do this
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 12:02 PM by old blue
It's for the Right to be spouting such juvenile silliness as "Osama is on their side."

I actually saw a bumper sticker in Michigan about a month ago that read:

"Bush is my man; Kerry is bin Laden's man"

Let's not stoop to this level.

4. They do it all the time. And, besides
Osama is a far-right religious extremist.

Try googling "Timothy McVeigh""patriot" sometime.

6. Hmmm. I'd have to respectfully disagree.
I think it's *very* appropriate to point out commonalities in ideology between a group that has so much say in directing our society and a second group which the first group is demonizing - or at a minimum oversimplifying (to the point of caricature) for political gain.

Commonalities are there! Furthermore, they are not trivial, but rather fundamental to the messages of the two groups. Intolerance is one of the defining characteristics of American fundamentalists, as well as Osama and his brand of fundamentalists. The utility of making these contrast-and-compare arguments is that it may cause a few (just a tiny few) to stop and consider some of the unspoken assumptions of their own ideologies.

Finally, how many times have the right-wingers used Osama for their own gain (think: "if you question the president, you're aiding the terrorists" and related talk.

7. I agree with your entire post; I only wish
people could understand those points without having it dumbed down to a "He's one of them, nannynannybooboo." format.

8. Al Q supported the re-election of GWB.
Just after the Madrid bombings, Al Q told reporter Opheera McDoom that it supported the re-election of GWB.

Pretty weird, huh. Right-wingers enabling right-wingers,...the cycle of zealots and destruction.

11. RW fundamentalist, so like Bush/Limbaugh/Robertson it isn't funny
Maybe that's why they hate each other so much.

It is only a shame that these Right-Wingers dragged Free Americans into their Holy War and killed the Old USA to do it.

If only they would just kill only each other Right-Wing Funamentalists and leave Free People alone.

But Bush and Osama BOTH wanted Liberal Democracy to end.

And they got their wish. It's over.

12. They seem to hate everyone outside their little tyrannical boxes.
They seem so much alike that, at times, I wonder whether they have some back-door secret agreement between them.

13. Well DUH
The only difference between the Religious Right a la Osama and the Religous Right in the US is that the RR here already has power, and therefore there is no need for terrorism (apart from the odd doctor murder, nail bombing, or truck bomb outside a Federal Building)
