“Our country is being destroyed. Every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom… Terrorism? Yes. That’s not the big battle,” he said. “The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals. They aren’t liberals. They are radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz: They’re not liberals, they’re radicals. They are destroying our country.”
I suppose one could take a hyper-sophisticated view of Quist’s comments and note that he’s merely recognizing that al-Qaeda doesn’t pose an existential threat to the United States. But then one runs into the unfortunate inability of progressives to usher in the dystopian future of economic and social justice. Occam’s Razor suggests, then, that Quist merely hates his fellow Americans more than he hates the people who seek to murder them.

Occam’s Razor suggests that Al Qaeda and Bin Laden do not exist – but for in the media.
Dayam, Spencer…! Pat Lang goes off…! ;-)
Plunger, I appreciate your persistence, but I’d appreciate you not posting this unsupportable theory in my comments. I’m not going to prove to you that al-Qaeda exists, because information about it is overwhelming. If you’re dissatisfied with the MSM, I would recommend you read the Norwegian scholar Brynjar Lia’s excellent biography of al-Qaeda theoretician Abu Musab al-Suri, aka Mustafa Setmariam Nasr.
It should be a simple matter to prove a positive, right? And Bin Laden? Does he exist? It seems the most unsupportable theory presently being espoused by the US government and their media are that Bin Laden exists, and that he was somehow involved in 9/11. Even the FBI does not believe he was involved, as he is not on the FBI’s most wanted list for the 9/11 false flag.
You really can’t spend precious blogging resources on quoting and highlighting the dumbest thing that comes out of politicians. Especially those running for office. You’d never have time for anything else.
Srsly, half the internet is given over to highlighting the dumb things other people say or do. Now that’s a dumb use of resources…
The man exists. Read the transcript of his 2004 videotape. I deal with the FBI fairly frequently, including with FBI counterterrorism agents, and your description of what the FBI thinks about bin Laden is simply inaccurate.
But please: I don’t wish to spend any more time running through the overwhelming amount of data that al-Qaeda is very real. It’s divided into committees, for heaven’s sake. I’d appreciate it if you stop posting in my threads that al-Qaeda is fictional. If the price of that is you believing that I’m just part of the conspiracy, I’m fine with that. But please, no more.
As you wish…just wanted you to have this information if you’re going to be speaking as an expert on it publicly. FYI, if you check the ten-most-wanted, Bin Laden is on it, but not in connection with 9/11.
