Sen Warner: Liberals are not Patriotic

Edited on Wed Jun-29-05 11:16 AM by ChrisNYC
Sorry for the delay, not sure if someone else pointed this out yet. But, last night Sen Warner was on Fox News following the speech. This is what transpired:

Sen Warner: Let's talk about the homefront. In my
judgement we've got to back the president up in
Congress and show a strong, bi-partisan strength.
Knock off this business of quagmires, and stop
dividing people between those who are
patriotic and liberals who are not patriotic -- You
gotta stop that. Because during our hearings, The
Generals told us they were troubled by the troops that
would approach them and say "What is this that we're
hearing back home?" So we got to --

Britt Hume: You didn't mean to say, did
you Senator, that liberals are not patriotic?

Sen Warner: Well, I'm just pointing out the way these
things are translated. Statements have been made back
here which have filtered their way into the Arabic
Press and tthe Middle East Press and into our troops
and they are troubling the troops. The Generals told
us that when they appeared before the Armed Services
Committee.

I transcribed this myself after watching the tivoed footage, so I'm not sure if Fox has a transcript.
