The AWOL story is true but he refuses to believe it. That woman is an ass. She should be put back in her Stepford box.

14. so they have decided that they are "bogus"
that news got lost in the election and post election fallout.

The information contained in the documents, remains, nevertheless, accurate.

documents authenticity. Anything else is speculation.

I tell you what...


I'll bet you a $100.00 donation to DU that the report commissioned by CBS will conclude that the documents in question were false...

Everybody knew Bush* gamed the systems... That's why the bogus documents were so so compelling and CBS was duped...

It's a tragedy because of CBS's incompetence a "guilty man went free.."

15. DeLay dirt rubbed off on her... She's an idiot!
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 08:50 PM by shuffnew
I saw this on hardball tonite too... She was obviously an incompetent right-wing idiot!

"She married Jim Lafferty, a former press secretary to Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) five years ago." Keep the dirt in the family... marrying a DeLay lover. How charming... that alone shows she is brainless!

17. Of course he knows it is true!
Even the secretary who said she didn't type it, but those words were precise in what he said. Also, if I recall, the document could not be disproved either... the font would only be available by a special order from IBM (not one of the typical/standard fonts used at that time).

I haven't seen anything that disproved either actually. So, it could have been real - if not, the words were stated by his secretary to be precisely what would come from his mouth. So, what's the difference? TRUE TRUE TRUE (my eyes)

It was probably submitted by Rove anyway. They'd not reveal that in the worthless CBS investigation I'm sure.

21. He made me angry last night.
I tried watching him again, and he was on this meme about how the Democrats didn't have any new ideas this year.

Huh? What do you call Kerry's health initiative?

Meanwhile, Republicans are just recycling old John Birch Society stuff.

He pronounce Joe Trippi "A Great Man", probably because he concurred that Dems had no new ideas this year.

What crap.

Chris has said several times Bush* gamed the system...

He just thinks it's not a big deal because so many others did it....


He's half right...

Lots of folks did or tried to do what Bush* did but most of them didn't go on to be the hawk in chief....

6. Ooh I am Tremling in My Boots!
The good reverend almost resorted to using his hands to make a hole with one and an extended finger with the other when debating someone about homosexuality on TV a while back. It was rich. You all should've seen it. "The parts don't fit" he said.

18. he can't figure himself out
One minute he's a Peace Corps volunteer. The next he's the guy who just bought a 4.5 million dollar house on Nantucket (true). One minute he's cooing like a school girl about Bush's manliness. The next he's riding Bill Clinton for every bit of sexuality he possesses.

He's vain and often ill-prepared. He considers himself an insider; a player.

We'd be a lot better off if he would run for office somewhere, IMO, get elected and off the tube.

25. Tweety Is Conflicted...
I don't rip anybody for leading the good life...

Lots of rich liberals are leading the good life...


I will rip somebody for being selfish or exploitative but not rich...


But you are on point about the other things...

I'll throw this out...

When Tweety wants to rip somebody a new one he succedes...

He has at least three notches on his belt...

Michelle Malkin

Zell Miller

and Andrea Lafferty..


I have never seen a more powerful advocate for a position...

36. IMHO
he WAS a Democrat. He worked a long time for Tip O'Neil and worked for Jimmy Carter as a speech-writer(I think). I say WAS because it is apparent to me that ever since he has been on the air he has tried to overcompensate to try to avoid the 'liberal' media tag. Sometimes he still has some decent moments like when he was on Bill Maher earlier this year what he said sounded like he almost certainly supported Kerry, but then again who knows. The important thing is that he has been doing an abhorrent job as a newsman.

She's most definitely a right-wing uninformed liar & idiot...

1) She's against National Public Radio... How dare anyone think that a right-wing nut married into the DeLay regime could have anything to do with the antrax scare on Democrats?
:crazy: ummmm

Prepared Witness Testimony

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce

W.J. "Billy" Tauzin, Chairman

http://energycommerce.house.gov/107/hearings/07102002Hearing622/Lafferty1055.htm

<Excerpt from article at above URL>

"On the afternoon of January 3, 2002 I received a call from David Kestenbaum a reporter for National Public Radio who asked me if “I had been contacted by the FBI yet?” I said what are you talking about. He again asked me if I had been contacted by the FBI yet? I asked him why would I have been contacted by the FBI? Kestenbaum said “because of what’s going on in the Congress with anthrax. I still could not understand what he was talking about – until he explained that Traditional Values Coalition fit the profile of who the FBI would be investigating to determine who would have sent anthrax to the offices of Senators Daschle and Leahy. I exploded. I told him of course not. How in the world would anyone at NPR come to ask a question like that of Traditional Values Coalition. Why would NPR contemplate that we would or could send deadly anthrax to anyone.

Then he asked if I knew anyone who had been contacted by the FBI. I really got angry and told him we are a Christian organization. We would not mail anthrax nor do we even know anyone who would do such a thing, including any of our 43,000 member churches.

When I asked the NPR reporter why he was calling Traditional Values Coalition he said he had seen a press release that I had issued August 2, 2001 in which I/ Traditional Values Coalition criticized Senators Daschle and Leahy over dropping the phrase “so help me God” from the oath witnesses take before testifying in a Senate committee. The NPR reporter stated that the press release made me and Traditional Values Coalition suspects in the anthrax mailings and the murders of innocent citizens.
Reporter Kestenbaum’s tone was very clear --he actually believed that I, Traditional Values Coalition, our members and other Christians and conservatives we associate with would mail anthrax to those with whom we disagree."

2) She's against funding for HIV and Aids.... easy cure... don't engage in risky sex - no funds needed at all?!?!

'Scientific McCarthyism'
AIDS, Sex Scientists on Federal List Fear Their Research is in eopardy
by Sabin Russell


http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1028-05.htm

<Excerpt from article at above URL>
Andrea Lafferty, the coalition's executive director, told the Associated Press that the grants were a "total abuse of taxpayer dollars."

"We know for a fact that millions and millions of dollars have been flushed down the toilet over years on this HIV, AIDS scam and sham," Lafferty said. "We know what it takes to prevent getting the disease. It takes not engaging in risky sexual behaviors."

3) IndiaCause puts Andrea Lafferty in her place and calls her the "idiot" that she is for statements made on C-Span.... India also believes in secular government and Separation of Church & State and was outraged by her lies and C-span statements...

4) Drums up false charges against Nickelodeon kids' cable TV channel saying they plan to promote gay and lesbians to kids' tv cable (because she is ticked at National Public Radio)...

Is Intimidation A Traditional Value?

A conservative group with a ConWeb mouthpiece wants to boycott Nickelodeon for a show that hasn't appeared on TV yet.

26. This scare anyone else?
"So once gay couples start coming home from Massachusetts and demanding recognition of their marriages by their own states, Sheldon figures America will wake up.

'It's a sleeping giant out there,' he says. 'We're talking about tens of millions of people. And when they wake up I feel bad for the homosexuals.'"

Jesus, what's he planning, CONCENTRATION CAMPS?? :scared:

The Rabid Religious Right freak me out.

24. anyone who uses the line that someone "hates America" should be humiliated
The outright pious hatred of anyone who disagrees with them is the hallmark of the Religious Right, and they need to be ripped to shreds in public for using it; they're despicable, and are the true haters of America: they brook no dissent.

34. Bits and pieces while working; didn't see him specifically comment on that
I've consistently stopped conservatives cold by turning and fighting on this point. "What makes you think you're America? Where'd you get some right like Napoleon crowning himself emperor? You're not America; America embraces difference of opinion. Why don't you just say 'ditto' and save yourself the work?"

They splutter and backtrack, mostly because they're absolutely defenseless when someone actually turns to fight. I also remind them that my family's been here since the 1630s THAT I KNOW OF, and fought on both sides of the Civil War.

I hammer them and demand that they withdraw their accusation and apologize, and I heavily lard the moment by telling them that they're just repeating hatespeech from others. Sometimes I even start the fusillade by saying "wow, are you they guy who came up with that phrase? I know you wouldn't just parrot stock phrases from reactionaries..."

I literally turn on a dime and look them directly in the eye and accuse them of bigotry and thuggery, just to make it clear just how hateful such an accusation is. People don't fight enough, and the forces of conformity need to be called out for their moral ugliness.

One of the good things about the current hubris of the monarchists is that they'll show their true colors.

44. "hates Americans" v "hates America"? either way sickening...
like another poster said Chris "spanked" her. He asked her several times about the statement of "hates Americans" (if I recall it was "hates Americans" v "Hates America" ... but anyway... same difference either way. She just grinned like a jack ass and kept blabbering nonsense to Chris when he called her on it several times until apparently he gave up getting a meaningful answer. The website may have the transcript (I haven't looked to see), but I did hear the entire thing... Sickening!

31. i find chris mathews frustrating as hell...
he would get these gratuitous digs about kerry in - stuff about "man tan" & windsurfing & in general, try to sissify him. bush's "drool jewel" in the debates didn't rate a comment tho. he wasn't near fair in his personalty portrails. he said repeatedly "i think the president is better than his ads & john kerry isn't as good as his."
what was that supposed to mean??
andrea lafferty is just another one of the pod people from "invasion of the bodysnatchers" ( a movie everyone should see) if there were any real journalists out there, they would be screaming.

there was a white piece of coagulated spit in the corner of his mouth clearly visible (& to tell you the truth - distracting as hell) for the first third of the last debate.
why didn't kerry's people push that image non stop? too decent!?
the republicans stop at nothing. witness the swifters for truth & the pantsing of bill clinton.
