Is there anything the Right doesn't fear?

[Nonno]

"The "debate" over all the bad and scary things that will happen if Obama closes Guantanamo and we then incarcerate those detainees in American prisons is so painfully stupid even by the standards of our political discourse that it's hard to put into words, and it also perfectly illustrates the steps that typically lead to America's National Security policies:

(1) Right-wing super-tough-guy warriors project some frightened, adolescent, neurotic fantasy onto the world -- either because they are really petrified by it or because they want others to be ("Putting Muslim Terrorists in our prisons will make us Unsafe! -- Keep them away from me, please!!!");

(2) Rather than scoff at the inane fear-mongering or point out simple facts to reveal its idiocy, Democratic "leaders" such as Harry Reid echo the right-wing fears in order to prove how Serious and Tough they are -- in our political debates, the more frightened one is, the more Serious and Tough one is -- and/or because they are genuinely frightened of being called mean names by Sean Hannity ("Harry Reid isn't as scared of this as I am, which shows that he's weak");"

"I really want to know: when our nation's stalwart right-wing warriors (along with Harry "Fighting the Good Fight" Reid) become petrified at the thought of keeping Muslim Terrorists in our prisons, what exactly do they fantasize will happen? What bad things specifically do they fear are going to occur? I asked that question last night on Twitter and these were some of the responses I received:

Atrios: crawl up through our toilets and steal our vital essence

GeorgiePorger: Abu Ghraib in their backyard?

akaBruno: They'll join up with T-Bag, Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield and break out of Fox River

JonahKeri: That they'll turn this into a lawless, chaotic state and make people live in a constant state of riled-up fear. Oh wait..."

There is no debate. Nothing good can come of bringing them here, so there is no reason to do it.

You know, for 8 years you libs ran around all over everything Bush was doing. Why is this seem so unusual to you?

Hmmmmm. All but six Democrat Senators voted the same way as the Republicans and Wee Willie Winkie decides to characterize the Republicans as fearful. Guess he's too fixated on his own 'Wittle Winkie' to read beyond the Huffpo headline. Too bad he still doesn't read his own links before posting them.
