Seems like a stretch. Back to "disagree with me and it's treason".

Bowser — 11/10/2006 5:00:25 AM (archived)

"Encouraging those doing the killing"? Can you amplify that? Or move it to the Fantasy Board.

I think promoting an optional, gratuitous war is encouraging killing.

What sort of logic can twist being anti-war, anti-torture, pro human rights, pro civil rights, winning hearts and minds becomes "encouraging those doing the killing"?

Or is being anti-war in the absence of an attack "giving aid and comfort to the enemy"? Is it unpatriotic to oppose killing innocent people to avenge the deaths of innocent people? Is that what you mean?

Voting Republican seems to me to be "encouraging those doing the killing". Destabilizing the Middle East seems to be "encouraging those doing the killing". Starting an unwinnable "war" would seem to be "encouraging those doing the killing".

Or are you one of those who call disagreeing with the Imperial President treason? The Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld mantra. Is that what you mean? One of those who think Bush didn't lie, hasn't lied, can't lie? (Ask Rumsfeld about that one.)

I believe it is. Newspeak. Doublespeak. Bushspeak. Christianspeak.
