The illogical attempt at debunking the "Kerry will kill our nation" quote
An Al Qaeda terrorist once said this in regards to who they want for President, they also endorsed Bush for President.

Some Conservatives have tried to debunk this, saying the terrorists are using reverse psychology. Or is it that the Conservatives have selective listening.

Get ready for the Al Qaeda - Conservative translator. When a terrorist says something, this is what the terrorist really means according to certain Conservatives.

"Kerry will kill our nation" = "We are afraid of Bush"
But that must really mean, according to the Conservatives:
"Great Satan" (referring to the US) = "Best Friend"
"Evil Infidels" = "Good People"
"You must draw out of Iraq" = "Stay in Iraq"

Of course, I think we know better. The Conservatives have not made a single mention of the Saudi family huffing and puffing over Kerry's mention of not using their oil for energy. Kerry will not kill any nation, but I think he will stop terrorism in it's tracks, not like Bush who is right now using it in his campaigns to promote himself.

My favorite take on it:
