The right wing propoganda machine is at full throttle!
Edited on Sat Sep-13-03 02:05 PM by liberalnurse
I was just preparing a chicken in the kictchen, listening to MSNBC.
First I heard Tim Russert speaking to Bill Press. He said he wants to have Cheney answer questions tomorrow on his show and explain why things didn't go as planned in Iraq; referencing Cheney's pre-war appearance on Meet the Press three days before the War, on March 16th. He says he really wants to know, not as a journalist but as an American!

To me, thats a bunch of hype cause he will never truely confront Cheney.

Then, I heard some Congressman from New York saying how great *bush is, how he inherited this recession from CLINTON!

Finally, G Gordon Liddy is going to talk about how the democrats are feeding into the desires of the terorist by trashing *bush.


Oh, we are in for one hell of a year! We really need to get focused and unite!

1. I'm very tired of the Chimpy propoganda machine, and
I think other people are too. Weren't Candi and Powell making the rounds last weekend? How many people are interested?

It gets so old.

3. Clinton inherited a shit economy from Bush Sr.
he didn't whine about it for 4 years. He got rid of trickle down and turned this country around. You can't blame Clinton anymore. It's your tax give away to the rich why this economy sucks.

7. That is going to be a real aggressive stance!
The got plenty of milage with the anti-american harrassment of anyone who did not bow down to *bush. I see this election as a real Political War....It is polarized just like the Civil War.

Class division is well on its way.....

5. They're trying to counteract the 45% approval rating
B*shie has right now. That's why we've had so many Freepers here lately- they're going nuts.

B*shCo is on the defensive. Let's keep them that way.

6. G Gordon Liddy the Watergate criminal
It is insane that they don’t put a disclaimer under that criminal’s name.

8. I Agree! HERE is the REAL G. Gordon Liddy
Edited on Sat Sep-13-03 02:00 PM by JasonBerry
edit for subject line
--------------

It is UNBELIEVABLE that Liddy has any credibility at all. He was a crook's crook! Political dirty-tricks personified.

For those too young to remember....from the Washington Post:

The former FBI agent who helped plan the Watergate break-in capitalized on his Watergate legend and took his political views to the airwaves. Gordon Liddy's conservative radio talk show, "The G. Gordon Liddy Show," was broadcast on 232 stations nationwide. He has written the novels "The Monkey Handlers" and "Out of Control" and an autobiography, "Will," which became a best-seller. He is also an actor in motion pictures and television.

Liddy has been known to support a conspiracy theory that the Watergate break-in was a means of covering up a call-girl ring run out of the Democratic National Committee headquarters. The theory got him involved in a defamation lawsuit filed by Ida "Maxie" Wells, a former DNC headquarters secretary who sued Liddy for saying that the her desk was targeted in a search for pictures of prositutes by Watergate burglars. The case was dismissed by the U.S. District Court in Baltimore after jurors could not reach a verdict. Wells appealed that decision.

Liddy was convicted for his role in the Watergate break-in, for conspiracy in the Daniel Ellsberg case and for contempt of court, spending about four and a half years in prison. In 1986, a federal appeals court found Liddy liable for $20,499 in back taxes on Watergate slush-fund money, rejecting his claim that his benefits did not exceed $45,000. As one of the White House "plumbers," Liddy spent about $300,000 engineering political dirty tricks and the Watergate break-in. Liddy lives in Fort Washington, Md.

9. Yes, they are pulling out all the snakes
from under any rock. We have got to keep up the pressure. We have no choice actually.

I agree that this is why we have so many freeper/bash/flame posts here this weekend. Some of the posters have been here a while too...Flying under the radar....I think they are pro's.

Oh, I'm making a roasted chicken, stuffed with lemons, and seasoned with garlic, butter/olive oil, fresh ground pepper, sea salt and Herbs of Provence...(thats French too). It rests on a bed of carrots, onions, and yukon gold potatoes.
