Terrorism Slander

By Craig Cheslog on July 9th, 2004

One thing I am really quite tired of seeing is Republican officeholders, staff members, and operatives slandering people as being anti-American or supporting the terrorists just because they dare to disagree with the GOP talking points.
So, I am creating this new category — Terrorism Slander — to keep a record of these baseless claims and pathetic charges.
Oh. And we have a nominee from yesterday’s PATRIOT ACT vote debate.
Justifying the Republican leadership’s decision to keep the vote open for an extra 23 minutes so they could strong-arm enough vote changes to avert a loss, Stuart Roy, a spokesperson for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) told the New York Times’ Eric Lichtblau for the July 9 edition that:

“We’re more interested in catching terrorists who are trying to kill Americans than we are in leaving the Capitol in time for happy hour.”

This is a contemptible terrorism slander, and another reason to make sure Mr. DeLay is no longer majority leader after the November election.
Feel free to send future nominees for the Terrorism Slander category to slander(at)cheslog.com. Feel free to send blasts from the past as well.
