MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann recently declared that former Vice President Dick Cheney is a traitor, but I would take Olbermann’s comments about Cheney’s traitorous activities one step further. Plain and simple, Dick Cheney is a TERRORIST.
Here is the video of Olbermann:

“If Mr. Cheney believes we are at war, then he, as the most recent occupant of the vice presidency, is under the strictest of obligations to put aside his case of terminal partisanship, and rally to the support of his president in a time of war. Instead, his remarks not only give encouragement to the enemies of this country, they give them an exact measure as to how successful they have been in damaging our freedoms.
Olbermann continues…
After his disgraceful performance since Christmas, when terrorists attempted an attack in this country, Dick Cheney is the beneficiary. And if he cannot summon exactly the same kind of absolute apolitical patriotism he demanded of everyone else while he was in office, he is, by his own terms, nothing more or less — morally if not legally — than a traitor to the United States of America.”
Yes, the former Vice-president DID tell his personal mouthpieces at “Politico” that “we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe.”
This absolutely disgusting performance of not just fear mongering, but
absolute and total disrespect for the sitting President of the United States,
first, makes Cheney look like an old troll that comes out of the woods to chase little children.
In fact, Cheney looks a lot like a much fatter version of Mr. Burns from “The Simpsons”. I can imagine the news hitting the American public on Christmas Day that a terrorist tried to bring down Northwest flight 253. As the news breaks on the networks, Cheney rubs his hands together as he
hunches his fat frame forward and loudly whispers: “Excellent”, just like
Burns.
By respectful tradition the former administration usually keeps their collective yappers shut during the current President’s term, at least the first couple of years. But Cheney hardly took a breath after leaving his “secret cave of silence” office to start poking at the bee’s nest of the Obama Administration by publicly warning our citizens, that “we’re doomed, run for your lives…it’s Armageddon time, everybody!” (my phrase not his).
Obviously, Cheney has nothing to do with his pathetic life since leaving his
command of killing our brothers and sisters in two illegal conflicts overseas. And his “Capt. Torture” epilates were placed in his underpants drawer to just draw dust. That’s a good thing for America.
On numerous occasions before the Christmas Day bombing attempt, Cheney has chided Mr. Obama about his Homeland Security tactics like a bully would egg-on a potential fight in the school yard.
It’s at this time that I wish to take Mr. Olbermann’s comments about Cheney’s traitorous activities one step further. And I have the dictionary to back me up.
Plain and simple, Dick Cheney is a TERRORIST. That’s right, a TERRORIST.
“Gee whiz, Jim…you shouldn’t say that”. I will because it’s true. Looking at the Merriam-Webster dictionary under the word “terrorist”, we get this definition:
TERRORIST –
1. a person, usually a member of a group (The G.O.P.?), who uses or
advocates terrorism. (such as fear-mongering)
2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others.
adjective –
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political
purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
verb- (used with the object…such as Mr. Cheney)
1. to fill or overcome with terror.
2. to dominate or coerce by intimidation.
3. to produce widespread fear by acts of violence, as bombings.
With the exception of literally bombing us with one of his invisible weapons of mass destruction, each of these definitions fit Dick Cheney to a “t”.
So why isn’t he arrested. Why isn’t he questioned? And just for the plain fun of it, why isn’t he water-boarded to get more information about how he knows America is going to get “hit” again?
We certainly do have work to do under this current administration with
Homeland Security, especially in light of what almost happened on Christmas Day in Detroit. But Dick Cheney’s constant warnings and lightly veiled threats seriously emboldens the terrorists with weapons other than a big lying mouth.
It’s time for President Obama to have a little chat with “Dickey”. Maybe in the backyard at a table, in sub zero temperatures with a cold brewsky would do it. But I’m certain that even under the most pleasant and gracious of invitations, Dick wouldn’t show up.
He hasn’t shown up to any of the court ordered subpoenas. He hasn’t shown up to give single testimony about the September 11, 2001 attack. And he plainly hadn’t shown up during his eight years at the reigns of the Vice President’s office to protect our country. And now…he’s terrorizing us.
Mr. Obama, how will you end THIS problem for us? Dick Cheney IS A
TERRORIST. And he needs to be stopped NOW!
