It looks like Stu’s column has gotten the reaction that I thought it would on FOX. Instead of denouncing a piece that wishes for the blood of Americans to spill so that we can get back to the good old times of being united immediately post 9/11 and wake people up to the threat they never want us to forget. John Gibson foolishly says that “I think it’s going to take a lot of dead people to wake America up.” I’m sorry, I think everybody did wake up on 9/11. But when we go after a country that wasn’t the threat, it’s hard to take the fear-mongering seriously.The problem is that Stu tries to distance himself from the headline of his article and says that the text of it never says the word “need” in it. What’s the difference, Bykofsky? It’s the screaming headline of your article! If you really cared about it, you would have threw a fit. I had to laugh because he says the initial reaction to his piece was pretty mild in Philadelphia, but
Stu: ….then it got posted somewhere outside of Philadelphia and this morning when I came in there were well over a 1000 emails and more kept coming in during the day.
Gibson: A bunch of those emails want you fired, right?
Good job C&Lers. I knew you would be thoughtful and succinct when you contacted him. Why doesn’t John Gibson call him a nutjob, whacko, looney American traitor for wanting us to be attacked to prove some point? Instead, Gibson drools all over him and forms a unique bond with Stu. Would he be as accepting if a liberal had said something like that? It would be replayed on FOX over and over again and that person would be vilified by every conservative host and pundit across the country.
I will ask Stu to be the first one to give up his life for the dream he holds dear. I’m telling you that the extreme right wingers in this country hope for an attack on US soil. That is really sad, but they get away with it because they will always have a job at FOX.

FRIST!
I’m right behind you, Erin. Right behind you. :)
Terrorists are our friends!
“We need another 911.”
Stu Bykofsky: SACRIFICE your own damned life, you son of a bitch.
What a couple of IDIOT CLOWNS!
Old Stu had a disagreement with the HEADLINE WRITER… AND THIS GUY still GETS PAID to write that KRAP?
Gee, let me see… if Bin Laden organizes another attack on American citizens… and maybe another three thousand INNOCENTS get killed… wouldn’t that be GREAT… because then we will all rally around behind our IDIOT PRESIDENT… and we’ll be united again… and then maybe we’ll all agree that we have to go to war with SOME OTHER INDESERVING COUNTRY… so the war on TERROR will go on F0R EVER AND EVER! Wouldn’t that be GREAT!
That’s right, Chris. If it wasn’t for them, we would still have Freedom.

It should would!
John Gibson has a girlfriend, John Gibson has a girlfriend.
Now, let these 2 luvbirds get together and wank each other off while contemplating another attack on the US and the poll numbers it will bring to the republican party.
Fair and balanced my ass.
Typo!
I meant to say “It sure would!”
I’m so excited about our next attack, I overwhelmed with glee!
“I think it’s going to take a lot of dead people to wake America up.”
The SOB is 100% correct. It has taken a lot of dead people to wake America up. Over 3.000 dead American service people and countless innocent Iraqi civilians. America is now wide awake.
Why doesn’t Gibson call him on his nuttiness? Maybe cause “Gibby” is, arguably,the most insane person (even for Faux News) to be allowed to run around as a free man?
Spare Americans the fear and body parts. You can’t unite people under the thumb of fear……
If this Adm would have stayed with Afganistan instead of luanching into war with the middle class and Iraq. And didn’t attack the very foundation of this country by erasing the Bill of Rights and considering the Geneva conventions Quaint or walking all over the US Constitution and his Republican (Party first) American second didn’t look at this as an opportunity for there calling of greed.
Just stopping the War Profiteering off the backs of taxpayers would have been a sign. A small sign, but a sign all the same.
There will have to be another President and Adm altogether, to start regaining the trust of the American people. Bush and his Adm has done nothing but devide this nation along with his Tom Delays, Newts, Rushs, Norquists, Freidmans, Bill Kristols, and all the greediest snot they could inflict on Americans.
This Adm has about done what 50 Osama’s or 100 times Al Qaida could do. Bring this country down from within and devide us. We all know Turd blossom’s ( Rove) sole forte is dividing by hate.
Another attack on this nation like 9/11 will not unite us nor will the Romney boys enlist in the (real) military. Not the pretend military of working to get their dad elected. Thats not serving your country. Its serving your family and selfish ambitions. Only a entirely new Adm could unite us. There has got to be something in it for the middle class and poor. Excluding us does not unite us. Bush is completely incapable of this. Al Qaida is incapable of uniting us. This guy doesn’t get it.
Probably doesn’t understand terrorists and their desperate actions.
I’ll be Guiliani has his fingers crossed everyday for another terrorist attack. It’s the best chance he has for landing in the Oval Office. The GOP has nothing but terror and fear itself.
Yes, another attack would unite us in a way the right has not even envisioned. I pray nothing like that happens and that our children are more sensible than the generations before them. We have become everthing we attack in others. And there seem few able to be genuinely self critical. The lack of capacity for recognizing our own errors, our own terror will destroy us more than anyone outside of this country. It already has. Bush, Cheney, Romney, - all three have the peculiar inability to be aware of their own errors, their own violence and all three have an amazing lack of empathy. The first moral lesson we teach our children is one of empathy and these guys were never taught. Guiliani can be added to that list. And because we as a people are in denial of our own shadows, we actually vote for them. My prayers are for some sense of responsibility in all that this amoral bunch has done.
Ruthless,
You just gave me this thought of the political choices in the event of anothr attack.
I realize I would prefer to have a reluctant President toward taking action than a self horn tooting macho image, military service avoiding, Talk tough to look bad, go get’em type of president.
I think the reluctant man here turns out to do the strong right thing, with overwhelming force.
Ruthless People @ 12:
Rudy will be on the scene if there is another 9/11. Here’s a clip from the Tom Hartman program featuring Paul Craig Roberts, Reagan official, who is afraid that the GOP is cooking something up to keep themselves out of the soup.
I’m working on fixing the code problem. Youtube is funky sometimes…
John says “Why doesn’t John Gibson call him a nutjob, whacko, looney American traitor for wanting us to be attacked to prove some point?”
Because Gibson, like too many at Fox, are also nutjobs and are either unable to see that, or wouldn’t attack their own. Without Gibson, Stu and a myriad of other lunatics on Fox, Rove will never have his Permanent Republican Majority (ie single party state)

Bush has failed at everything else, so if we get attacked on HIS watch…AGAIN, what makes these little wankers believe that we’ll be united and run to the repugs for protection? They’re the ones touting how we haven’t been attacked since 911. If we are attacked again, the dems can say ‘hey we gave ya the new improved wire tapping bill and ya still dropped the ball!’
“I’m sorry, I think everybody did wake up on 9/11″
I disagree, the reason that Conservatives are hoping for another 9/11 is because fear short circuited rational thought to the benefit of the Reactionary cause and the Bush regime. That’s what terrorism is supposed to do, try reading Mao on the subject. By sowing fear among the public and spurring an authoritarian response by the government, a terrorist can bring down a democratic system without military superiority.
He Could Of Found A Safer Zone
If Stu Bykofsky need a reference for a united America, he need only use WWII. It would of fit his purpose just fine. But no, he could not use WWII because there was a Democratic president leading our nation. Republican find it hard to use positive Democratic figures for examples.
As it stand, this country will never be united on this war. This is a shameful war, and our country have killed innocent civilians while we search for a valid reason for being in Iraq.
The right-wing media have been using 9/11 so much lately I truly believe I am starting to be desensitized to the fact that we were attacked unwarrantably.No leader should overuse a real emotional experience involving terror in the way this administration has. I only hope we can heal from what happen on that day, and I hope we can learn how not to react if it should happen again.

[Deleted. You really think we are going to let that one stand?]
I think another attack at this time would prove everything the conspiracy theorists have been saying all along to be true. It would expose who’s doing the attacks and why they are doing it. I don’t think they want to do that.
One of those emails was mine, I’m proud to say.
As for John Gibson, Fox News loves one of Al Qaeda’s biggest fans. I’m sure bin Laden would love to send Gibby a personal HallMark Thank You for your Support.
Ruthless People @ 9 .. RIGHT ON!
Sometimes I think FOX Opinion is trying to recruit for the terrorists.
And attention US Government. This is simply blogging nothing else. Just calm down….
Canuknotusa @ 21:
Get in line. ;)
Of course he’s standing by his column, Gibson! It’s where he’ll be when the “attack” comes; standing there wondering why America didn’t impeach this sorry regime!
Didn’t their mothers ever tell them “be careful what you wish for?”
As someone from outside the US (Australia), I am becoming more and more amazed by the level of discourse in the US, mainly on the right although occasionally from the left. The level of hyperbole about “surrendering to the terrorists” and being “liberal traitors” is just incomprehensible to me. This is not normal, I don’t know any other western democracy where the crazies are in charge of the dialogue. Certainly not Australia or the UK.
GD ‘07/ Was Mayor Rudy a hero?
Snowball @ 19:
I agree with your disagreement. Well said.
the authoritarian cultists pray everyday for an incident to cause more wars and for total monitoring of the internet
This just goes to show that people like Bykofsky and Gibson are just as bad as any terrrorist group. They would be prime suspects worthy of being tracked or placed in Gitmo because they have indicated for all to see that they have a motive for plotting and carrying out a terrorist attack on the United States.
Canuknotusa @ 21:
It’s the Armageddonites that you should be mad at.
It’s getting mighty tedious watching crabby-ass, flabby old fogey Americans bringing their all-encompassing buzz-kill upon the world. Why can’t more geezers be like Jerry Garcia was? Tiresome, bitter editors and pundits keep wishing the world would end when they die.
Some logic these wingnuts have.
If we get attacked here while Bush is president, it is supposed to make us appreciate him more. But if we get attacked here with a Democratic president, it’s evidence that Democrats can’t be trusted with national security. Talk about a heads I win/tails you lose scenario!
strawberry @ 18:
Another attack would be tragic, but mere moments would pass before Faux and their compatriots would be making politicial hay. I wish that the Dems, should such a tragedy occur, act as you suggest, but their recent actions suggest that they would more likely behave the way my dog does when I find she has chewed a pair of shoes.
For all his bluster and bravado, if Bush had been president when Pearl Harbor was attacked, he would have immediately declared war on Australia.
Well eventually we will get another hit. But our global respnse to the the actions of a few nutjobs (see London train stations) is completely over the top. These attacks, like 9/11, or the bombing by our home-grown decorated Gulf War veteran, can and should be dealt with by the FBI and other law enforcemtent agencies. They did it with the ‘93 attack on the WTC and there are several people doing life terms for it. How many are in prison for 9/11?
Bykofsky is a trator who traffics in fear. He should be arrested and put in Gitmo. They have plenty of space, thanks to our taxes. Let’s put the place to some good use for once.
Snowball @ 19:
I agree with your statement. Although, people like Bykofsky do not need to hope for another 9/11 to be carried out by some shadowy outside terrorist group. They could simply fund, attempt or carry out another 9/11 type of attack themselves and place the blame on that same outside terrorist group.
This is great news. Thanks for the update. Peace.

Snowball @ 19:
Conservatives aren’t hoping for another 9/11, Snowball, none that I know of, and I know a lot of them. Please show me somthing that says they are. I don’t think this guy is an extreme right-winger or even a conservative. From what I’ve read about him, he’s more likely to be a liberal. But I don’t care what he is, he’s just another guy with an opinion.
Canuknotusa @ 21:
Yeah but Tony blair is a real humanitarian, like John Howard and British Petroleum. Fuck off asshole.
thanks for the update on this insanity…but here John, here is some good news, I watched ( okay choked and laughed ) while watching Brit Hume interview Mitt about HIS DOG ….it was Priceless, and also the part about his sons…all right at the tail end of Mitt’s Strawman Victory interview…priceless….( gee I wish you had tape- it was THAT good…or well, bad depending on how you look at it..)
There is something in the bible about those who talk of peace but always deliver war.
I am surprised it didn’t mention George W. Bush by name.
