ACTION: denounce the RNC for support of al-Queda

Sun Oct 22, 2006 at 10:36:33 PM PDT

The Republican National Committee has created its own al-Qaeda recruitment video.  I am not kidding.  They've produced a commercial designed to do exactly what al-Qaeda seeks to do: spread terror, pump up the glory and power of the jihadi movement, and try to effect the kind of political change that, evidently, the terrorist leadership favors.

We can't just sit back and take this.  We need to have Democratic candidates denouncing this.  We need letters to the editor in every newspaper in the country.  It's time to throw this crap in their faces.  This is no time for a response that whines that this kind of attack on the Democrats is unfair.  That would be a weak response.  Rather, the line needs to be that this commercial gives aid and comfort to the enemy.  It follows the form of a terrorist recruitment video.  It will be shown internationally, and could be used in the English-speaking UK for that purpose, with new credibility since it comes from an American source.
