Terrorists and the Left

The CounterTerrorism Blog reported on a recently released tape by Al-Zawahiri. Zawahiri is quoted as saying:

"Bush suffers from an addictive personality, and was an alcoholic. I don't know his present condition (Americans know best about that, as they are experts in alcohol and addiction to it), but the one who examines his personality finds that he is addicted to two other faults: lying and gambling. As regards lying, his record is well known, and he has gone down in history as one of its most notorious liars... As for the Democrats in America, I tell them: The people chose you due to your opposition to Bush's policy in Iraq, but it appears that you are marching with him to the same abyss, and it appears that you will take part with him in the defeat and certain failure, with God's permission. And the American people shall discover that you are all one side of the same coin of tyranny, criminality and failure; that failure which – by the grace of God – has neutralized the endeavors of the traitors who entered Kabul and Baghdad..."

Now I expect a liar to blast Bush. He is the enemy after all (odd that the enemy knows their enemy). Yet notice the language being used against the Democrats. They are failing to get done what the Terrorists wanted. Oh wait. I mean failing to get done what the Left wants. I mean...uhhhhh...nevermind. I don't know what I mean.

Rush Limbaugh comments about this on today's broadcast:

"Now, is it just me? I have been commenting on this ever since prior to the election last November. Here you have number two to Osama, who I'm not even convinced is still alive, Ayman al-Zawahiri telling the Democrats that they are failing in their mission, in their promises in the campaign prior to the 2006 November elections. This guy is suggesting that they promised to do exactly what Al-Qaeda wanted, and now they're not doing it. Now, probably some of these weird moon bats from the Democrat kook base probably think Zawahiri is right on the money. They think the Democrats aren't being gutsy enough with these nonbinding resolutions and so forth..."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. On the one hand this is serious stuff. It is quite an accusation to link Terrorists with Democrats. Yet I have to just laugh. It seems like a Saturday Night Live skit in reverse. This can't be real...can it?
