Repukes would lie when the truth would serve them better

Idaho US Senator Larry Craig called into to Rush's show yesterday, railing about the danger to ordinary citizens if Hillary were to become president with a Patriot Act in place. Here is a clip of what he said:

'The Idaho Republican told Limbaugh: "You know, I've been here a little while, and I remember Janet Reno, and I remember Waco and Ruby Ridge."'

I don't know if one could say he straight lied, but the implication is that Janet Reno was Attorney General when Ruby Ridge took place. The Ruby Ridge siege took place in August and September of 1992, under Attorney General Richard Barr, last AG for President George Herbert Walker Bush. Larry Craig is from Idaho, where Ruby Ridge took place. He knows the difference, but his syntax of Big Pharma's show sounds better, so he lies. Typical repuke.

by a Repug why Bush would like about something that didn't need lying about? I explained, when Bush opens his mouth, he lies. That is all there is to it. You are so right. Lying is just part of who they are. I think it is part of the moronic personality.

Some crappy cop show had a mad bomber type, who was doing life, no parole. The cops needed his help with a copycat bomb, and offered to move him to a mental institution, etc. So he says, clip the red wire. The cop orders the blue wire be cut. The bomber was going to give up a life of relative luxury just to get the rush of one more bomb going off.

I used to call them the Wolverine Party, so bitter and nasty that they will literally piss on food they don't want so no one else can have it.

They're not nice people.

Wolverine has honor . . . and speaks flawless Japanese . . .

Tried to blame Ruby Ridge on Clinton as well in the late 90s when I first moved to Tulsa. My letter to the editor correcting him and telling him to check his facts before spouting off earned me an interesting... "care package" from a white supremacy group in a nearby town. Fortunately, I didn't have to be worried. I had researched white supremacy groups in high school and some in college and knew that theirs was filled with fat, old bubbas who are too chicken to start the "coming race war" but are hoping to jump on its coattails once it gets started.

The care package included a quarterly newsletter of 8 pages, and the middle two were advertisements for some racist stickers (The fat Mexican one with stink lines coming off of him looked more like one of my cousins (white) than any Mexican I've known) and a flyer educating me that the world's most endangered species was the white woman (good to know, I guess). They had also written in comments in the margins of the newsletter front cover - things like, "I bet you want to take our guns too," and "Hillary-lover."

I couldn't understand why my correcting a senator's poor recollection of history would get them all hyped up. I was considering sending them a multi-cultural Christmas gift (it was close to Xmas when I got their package) and fill it with a dreidal, salsa, Vietnamese spices, and a Kwanzaa card. I wish I had.

That was all Repub too, Reno had been AG for just days when that happened.

Actually, Reno wasn't even the AG when Waco started. She was there at the end making the final call to end the siege. But the agents who tried breaking in through the windows and roof on day one did so under orders from Poppy's quislings. And THAT has been the major point of contention ("why didn't they first try knocking on the door and present their warrant", "I'd shoot first and check for badges later if someone all dressed in black like an armed robber came bursting into my house in the middle of the night", "why didn't they just wait and grab Koresh off the street when he wasn't in his armed camp", etc).

Reno was Clinton's third AG nominee. His first two were rejected back when Republicans believed the Senate had the responsibility to consent (or not) to a president's selections.
