Daily Kos doing what they do best: Equate Americans with terrorists.

So is Osama bin Laden truly “evil?” Most people who lost family members at the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 would probably consider him to be evil. Was President Ronald Reagan evil? Most residents of Beirut who lost family members when the USS New Jersey rained 2,700 pound Mark 7 shells on residential neighborhoods in 1983 during the Lebanese Civil War probably considered Reagan to have been evil. Bottom line? Bin Laden is no more evil than other revolutionary leaders in other times or even than ordinary national leaders who propel their countries to war for “national honor,” or to acquire the resources of others, or even to “do good.”

Bill Hobbs translates:

Osama bin Laden isn’t a terrorist, he’s a freedom fighter. And Reagan wasn’t a freedom fighter – he was a terrorist.

The Kossaks equate a man who slaughtered 3,000 men, women, and children on 9/11, because they hate us, to a man who brought about the end of the Soviet Union, ending the literal oppression of millions. Oh, and a man voted The Greatest American.

No low is too low for Daily Kos.
