Just lemon yellow.

[Deja Q]

3. Why am I not shocked by this?

:shrug:

I'm glad they weren't bnlown to bits by a MIHOP or LIHOP crusade...

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Nope but it was only democrats you see

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. Plus the freepers and Bu$hbots

didn't really turn out or do anything to protest Kerry.

[Walt Starr]

5. Nope

I think the Repukes were actually HOPING for an attack.

6. No - The Terrorists only hate Republicans....

New Yorkers - leave while you can.....the British are coming, the British are coming (to quote American Historical Times as an analogy)....

Maybe Kerry can cross the Hudson River? Hee hee....

[blm]

7. No...but they made sure the media was on a terror alert.

Remember they told the media that terrorists were targeting THEM specifically.

8. I said it before and I'll say it again...

If there is no attack planned by outside agents, there will probably be one initiated by forces from the inside (MIHOP, anyone?). The perfectly logical reason for this is simple: After the attack(s), the administration will broadcast the idea that the terrorists didn't attack the Dems, because they don't fear the Dems, but they do fear Bush and his administration because they are so forceful and are so determined to destroy Al-Qaeda. It is the same damnable old ploy that Reagan and Bush pulled back in 1980 with the Iranian hostages (indirectly, of course).

9. At first I thought this was to stop demonstrators at the Pub conv.

but, surely that can't be right. That's 30 days away! I can't believe they would expect to keep this up for a whole month!

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. They will

you can count on it, it takes that long to get the logistics right
to cancel the protests and go into martial law

10. Shit, I'm surprised they weren't on GREEN alert in Boston....

....handing out maps of the city all over the Middle East with "Terrorists Go Here" written on the Fleet Center.
