Second or third time for phony WMD story on Faux

I remember from about a year ago the breathless reports on that POS channel. It's the same story they are yapping about today. My God, they must think their viewers are stupid. Alas, they are probably right. Reminds me of a quote, and I paraphrase: "All conservatives aren't stupid but all stupid people are conservative."

1. Big Lie Technique.

Make the lie outrageous. So outrageous that people cannot imagine it is a lie. And then repeat it over and over and over....

2. They're viewers are demonstrably stupid. They know this.

I just got a letter to the editor to my website, blabbering on about how liberals LIED about WMDS, and how the Bush administration deserves an apology. I'd post the e-mail here, but I'm worried about being sued for the destruction of multiple vomit-ruined computer monitors.

Spread the "news" around equally. :sarcasm:

5. They're showing part of the Cheney interview now

Did you know that if we adopted the Democrats' plan for phased withdrawal, that the governments of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan would collapse?

:eyes:

8. He said it. He was also given a chance to take back his previous...

... statements about the Iraq War, specifically his statement that our forces "would be greeted as liberators" and that "the insurgency is in its last throes."

Cheney declined, saying "I stand by my words."

:wtf:

6. This is a story from 2004:

"They believe the mustard gas shell may have been one of 550 projectiles for which former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein failed to account when he made his weapons declaration shortly before Operation Iraqi Freedom began last year."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,120137,00.html

Sounds similar, yet this is magically breaking news now.

10. It's the same stuff

Same story. And they trot it out again, Hannity even demanded an apology from the 'Democrat party'.

9. The only ones reporting this are right-wing rags

such as Faux News and The NY Post. It's not on ABC, CBS or MSNBC Web sites.
