The worst theme of right-wing cartoons and right-wing rhetoric is the "THEN... AND NOW!" bullshit. Not only are they usually looking back to a time where none of them were even alive, but they never, EVER have any data to back up the rosy depictions.
Luckily this one book http://www.amazon.com/Way-We-Never-Were-Nostalgia/dp/0465090974 defuses like 90% of the hogwash. Dry read but every conservative should get a copy.

wtf is that on about? you'd think that with over 50 words he might have been able to make it at least slightly understandable to anyone who didn't know the story. Whitehall mentioned a BBC radio programme about al-q before the BBC broadcast a programme abu=out al-q? huh?

The kid on the Grinch cartoon is staring at a huge floppy disk labeled, porn. Considering he got that out of some pre-PC 8-inch floppy-reading relic, there's probably only about 1/2 a JPEG on it.

Double-WTF on this one:
1. I have heard the "mainstream media" talk about that point quite a bit, actually. E.g., "Bush may have screwed up everything else, but at least there was only ONE successful major terrorist attack on his watch."
2. Just WATCH how much credit Obama will get for similar results from these batshitters: He'll get none, and any lack of terrorism will be due to Bush, of course.
3 (bonus). Tinsley is still a fucking drunk.

this drives me nutz cause WHAT ABT THE ANTHRAX ATTACKS that you know SHUT DOWN WASHINGTON KILLED PEOPLE and WERE AFTER 9/11
and wtf was the rate of terror attacks in america before 9/11 im sure a 7 year terror free stretch isnt outside the norm
also plz show me evidence of a credible terror threat that was actually thwarted - something more than this one dude thinks abt maybe blowing up the brooklyn bridge
and of course 9/11 occurred on his watch
