Donald Rumsfeld: 66 percent of Americans are morally, intellectually confused
In keeping with their party stance of “Americans, what a bunch of dunderheads,” Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was the latest to accuse critics of President George W. Bush of being a bunch of confused idiots, who obviously hate America.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Tuesday accused critics of the Bush administration’s Iraq and counterterrorism policies of lacking the courage to fight terror.
In unusually explicit terms, Rumsfeld portrayed the administration’s critics as suffering from “moral and intellectual confusion” about what threatens the nation’s security.
Addressing several thousand veterans at the American Legion’s national convention, Rumsfeld recited what he called the lessons of history, including the failed efforts to appease the Adolf Hitler regime in the 1930s.
“I recount this history because once again we face the same kind of challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism” he said.
This comes on the heels of a recent Zogby poll that gave Bush a 34 percent approval rating. Republican insiders say this plays right into their hands in their new platform of “Opinion polls are the work of dirty islamofascists that want to murder your babies.”

Bush and his henchmen use the term “terrorists” more than 500,000 times per day, by latest report. […]
