Hi Ho, Silver! Away!
Specifically Jerome Corsi, co-author of the anti-Kerry screed, Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry.
The same Jerome Corsi who said Islam should be eliminated. Who claimed "Islam is like a virus."
And also: "It (Islam) affects the mind. Maybe even better as an analogy, it is a cancer that destroys the body it infects. No doctor would hesitate to eliminate cancer cells from the body."
The same loveable guy who opines: "Ragheads are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters."
So what is Jerome up to now that the Swift Boats was beached with the end of the 2004 Slur-Real-War-Heroes-in-order-to-Elect-an-AWOL-Guardsman campaign?
Well, now he gets speaking engagements at the Heritage Foundation where he is lauded for protecting our children and grandchildren in a fawning introduction that turned my stomach.
And dear old white-haired, soft spoken Jerome, what does he say now about Islam? Well, now he claims the Islam is a legitimate religion, legitimate that is except for . . .
(Who Jerome hates is after the break)
Those Mad Mullahs of Iran!
I saw him hawking his book Atomic Iran on C-Span's Book TV today, and also hawking a war with Iran. Because they're (drumroll please) TERRORISTS! Not that he stops at that. Oh no. He goes on to Compare the Mullahs to the Nazis and Hitler - only worse! He predicts 200 million deaths unless we stop them from eradicating Israel and the US too. And once they get the Bomb, that's just what they're gonna do.
We cannot afford to discover that the mullahs have the bomb by waking up one morning to see a mushroom cloud over New York City or Tel Aviv. An atomic 9-11 is not the type of nightmare awakening the world can bear to experience.
And of course, it's all the fault of the UN and Democrats. Especially the (gasp!) Clintons! And you better believe him, cuz he's got a Ph.D in poly-sci from Haa - vahd. And he wrote a best selling book too!
But at least he offers a solution to this insurmountable evil. Can you guess what it is?
The only hope that the mullahs will fail rests with President Bush. He will have to hold firm to his determination that nations which induce fear in their own populations cannot be trusted. The only reason the mullahs continue to talk about being attacked is that the president continues to insist that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The military option, as the president has reminded the world, has not been taken off the table.
I guess old keyboard warriors never die, they just find another war wagon to hop on.
