FOX News Attacks Pelosi Over Trip To Iran She Does Not Intend To Make

News Hounds
4/13/07

Only on FOX News would a guy like Oliver North, convicted of deceiving Congress about illegal sales of arms to Iran with profits being channeled to the Nicaraguan Contras (his conviction was later overturned on a technicality), be presented as a credible critic of any unofficial contact Nancy Pelosi might make with Syria or Iran. Yet the “real journalism, fair and balanced” network allowed North to accuse Pelosi of consorting with Iran for supposedly considering a trip there - even though she had already said she does not intend to go. There was no mention of North’s questionable record on the subject of Iran or his conduct of non-authorized foreign policy nor was any balancing view of Pelosi provided to the audience. With video.

North appeared on last night's (4/12/07) Hannity & Colmes. Sean Hannity offered this teaser for the upcoming segment with North. “Nancy Pelosi’s making friends with America’s enemies, first Syria, now a possible visit to Iran. Why is the San Francisco liberal willing to compromise with radicals but, apparently, not with the president?”

North began his segment with Colmes who focused on events in Iraq, only. Colmes discussed the bomb at the Iraqi Parliament, inside the Green Zone, and questioned whether the surge is working. He did not discuss Pelosi.

North acknowledged the attacks in Iraq were very serious. “All looks like AQI to me,” he added, in an obvious attempt to sound like an insider.

as a wanker. No surprise there.

Is this idiot still being taken seriously?

And Nancy Pelosi shouldn't compromise with radicals like George Bush.

the right wing memo went out about smiling during mug shots like limbaugh and delay and scooter. Its a cool conservative thing to do to laugh at justice.

for stopping her from going.

How can one make a visit to a country that won't even issue a visa?

Several Congressional delegations, including Repugnicans, have been trying to get into Iran for years and have been turned down. So Pelosi is gonna get the "Persian Carpet"?

The game here is to turn Nancy Pelosi into the Democratic Party version of Gnewt Gingrich circa 1996...a boogielady that they can use to run against in '08. They tried this trick in '06...trying to scare their herde with her "San Francisco (Gay) Values" and it backfired. They desperately need to turn her negatives up if they stand any chance of avoiding further losses next year. Nancy will not get a moment's peace...and hopefully she's prepared for it and continues to show the class and leadership that has made these attacks ineffective.
