A Republican State Party Chairman Wishes More Terrorist Attacks on U.S. to Prove George W. Bush "Right"

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

There’s been a bit of commentary on the net about a statement by the Chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party in which he calls for terrorist attacks on the United States to prove that Bush’s anti-terrorism policies are necessary.

Okay, you don’t believe us? You think that this is BuzzFlash hyperbole?

Here’s the money quotation, right here:

"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country," Milligan said.

Yes, Dennis Milligan, the head of the Arkansas GOP, said this just a few days ago, posted in a June 3 article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Now, this is a monstrously barbaric and treasonous statement. It is hard to even begin to wrap one’s mind around how it wishes Americans more terrorist attacks to prove Bush is "right" in sending Americans to die and paying hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to war profiteers. To repeat, Milligan is wishing more Americans to die from terrorism on our home soil in order to prove that Bush is doing the "right thing" to prevent such attacks from occurring.

Okay, lift up your jaw.

Now, here’s our point. Beyond how Milligan represents the traitorous extremes that Republicans will go to in making excuses for failed policies, have you heard one word of denunciation or alarm from the right wing media echo chamber about the traitor in their midst?

We haven’t. Not a peep.

A state Republican Party Chairman calls for terrorist attacks on the United States, and the GOP media megaphones (including FOX Republican Propaganda News and hedonist, drug user Rush Limbaugh) are attacking John Edwards’ haircut, but not one of their own, who wishes Osama accomplishes more missions!

Mr. Milligan represents a danger to our national security, as do so many Republicans, because he prefers to prove his party’s "leader" is "right" at the cost of American lives at home.

These people are enemies within our midst, whose minds and loyalties to an authoritarian hierarchy of incompetents is more important to them than loyalty to our safety and to our Constitution.

Yet, the right wing media cares little about such tortured psychotic and perilous thinking from a state Republican Party Chairman.

They are too busy revving up their character assassination machine against Democratic candidates for President.

If ever there were proof that the Republican media shills care little for America and its future – other than ensuring their personal profit and perch of power – the fact that Mr. Milligan is still the Chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party is proof of it.

Think of what would have transpired if a Democratic State Party Chairman had said this. It would have been a national media and Republican talking point uproar for days.

But, most importantly, remember this point. This is for real. This is how Republicans think.

They wish us harm in order to prove that they are "right" in pursuing errant policies.

They have lost all sense of real concern for our safety – and are a threat to our well-being.
