Well, a quick search from Google reveals that it didn't take them long at all. Fox News' John Gibson, who's never been afraid of making intellectually dishonest arguments, started things off about 6 hours ago. It's so bad I won't even bother linking to it.

Yep. That was my first thought too.
"Here's a Terrist (He's Muslim, right? He doesn't like America, right? So he's a Terrist!) who's criticizing Our President. The same way those damn liberals criticize Our President! So if you criticize Our President, you're just like those Terrists!"
All that aside, there's a certain diplomatic cunning in this letter. It says what many other leaders and countries have wanted to say for a long time. As the next target in US sights, he has very little to lose by telling it like it is--and perhaps a great deal to gain by aligning the sentiments of those nations that are sick of being bullied by the great hypocrite America.
