Josh Micah Marshall of Talking Points Memo talked to the president of the Jefferson County Republican Party in Kentucky, Jack Richardson IV, to validate that they are distributing banners and stickers that say "Kerry is bin Laden's Man; Bush is My Man." And sure enough, they are passing them out. Consider this excerpt from his post today:
...."I believe that if you look at John Kerry's voting record in the senate," he told me, "why wouldn't bin Laden prefer Kerry over Bush?"
When I pressed Richardson on whether or not his party organization was distributing it, he acknowledged that they probably were handing it out on their campaign literature tables at recent events. And if it was being handed out, "I make no apologies for it."
"I think it's funny how the truth not only can be amusing but also make a point," Richardson went on. "Why wouldn't Kerry be bin Laden's man? Bush certainly isn't bin Laden's man."
You know, I bet bin Laden thinks Bush is the next best thing to Allah for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, for not pursuing him until they captured him, for not pursuing the funding coming out of Saudi Arabia for his terrorist group, and for invading Iraq and making his cause more legitimate in the eyes of the Muslim world. Yes, I think Bush is very much bin Laden's man!
