Washington Journal Hudson Institute Liar
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 07:11 AM by acmejack
Where did they find this person? I have never heard a person lie so much in a single appearance aided and abetted by the host!

edit Susan is cutting off people and not letting them finish. One caller: "I'm nervous..." Susan: "That's alright." click!

9. American Enterprise Institute? Read PNAC! PNAC does what the
barons want or have approved. The AEI does their think tanking and figures out the hows. Totally political, inept (obviously) organization - that I consider an enemy of the citizens of this country. They are hell bent of ruining this country.

I give NO inch to anyone from the AEI. This one in particular was totally disgusting this morning. They know no embarassment.

Orwellian as it applies to what happens to truth.

People should watch a rerun to observe a blatant liar.

3. I love how she keeps quoting the average...
as if the workers get to share in the CEO's inflated wages.

12. exactly!!
that was my exact reaction to her "statistical manipulation" ...

it's like saying the "average citizen" got a $10,000 tax break under the bush tax cuts when most of the goodies went to the wealthiest 1% ...

I was waiting for you to collect your thoughts and whammo... I know how hard it is to get on there too! And it will count as yoour thiirty days, just to add insult to injury.

She mentions lies, damn lies and statistics. It is obvious which she chooses to deal in!

8. She ignores the issue of immigrants and the pressure they put on wages.
Lalalala! Willful ignorance. She is highly paid no problem for her. People who make plenty of money are immune, all they can bitch about is their "forty percent tax rate" and that is what the republiclowns work with. Greed, these folks care about nothing else. Try to engage them on the issues they will get hostile and inevitably bring up their damned tax rate. Guaranteed!
