4. "Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?"
The punch line to an old joke, the Reichbot is squatting there and arguing the "meaning of is" ... with a smirk on his obscene mug that announces to the world that "We don't care what you think!"

5. He is an idiot
He's stupid enough to Believe that the Bushies used as a primary reason to invade Iraq to make it free.

That's complete bullshit.

Where are the fucking WMDs, Kevin?

I tell ya, Kevin here, is woefully underarmed in the brain department

6. interesting that c-span feels it must have a repug on to
counter argue against the memo.

If this was solely a repug issue that they were pushing there wouldn't be any one to counter the arguements.

48. He Was VERY VERY Defensive!
He couldn't even control the expression on his face. He was really out of his element.

Steve was very good and calm and concise. This is helpful as he didn't come off as a WING-NUT!!!

13. You know these "Clinton Lied, Kosovo was attacked too" people are idiots
When Clinton lied, nobody died and for Kosovo, that WAS A NATO WAR. The U.N. DEFERRED authority to the European Powers.

Get that shit straight, will you?

14. Aylward says there is nothing new in
this story. Caller: Once again the left is doing everything it can to try to destroy a president. Caller is tearing down Clinton and how he lied and bombed Kosovo.

Cobble: You know the Admin. is in trouble when they start bringing up Clinton and what John Kerry said.

Caller: This president manufactured evidence to fake out the Congress and the people to take us into war. Alward says it's not true.

Cobble says two days before the war, Tony Blair changed his mind about needing a second UN resolution.

25. Cobble says conservatives should
be on our side on this. Now a right-winger on yelling about everything. No declaration of war on Korea. Sadam ignored 14 resolutions. It is a sad sorry day in this country when the judicious left turns against their own country. I have nothing but hate for them.

Cobble: The bush admin did not set out the case for war. Wolfowitz admitted that, and then took it back. The didn't go to the American people and say let's go to Iraq and liberate these people.

Caller: Talking about impeachment. Aylward says they are not going to get there. Conyers is not the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Cobble: Bush has a big problem here. Bush known as a straight shooter and we're talking about lies.

54. One of the talking points. Apologists use the "British wording"
excuse--as if most Americans don't speak English.

Be prepared to hear it again and again.

Also discrediting the Brits. Dumb ass.

Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 07:24 AM by susu369
Aylward is nervous, edgy, arrogant, smirking, his eyes are shifting (certainly NOT "wizbang" {sic}).

Cobble is relaxed, assured, articulate.

27. the RWinger called Cobble part of the "intelligentisia"
I would say that's a compliment.

Aylward has about two damaged brain cells, if that.

24. Has anyone ever noticed...
when the pro-nitwit callers get to talking they end up practically screaming? It always sounds like they're foaming at the mouth. They rant and rave and babble from one issue to another. They truly sound like nutcases! Progressive/liberal callers always seem under control and rational. They actually have some facts to share.

just stupid and juvenile. I think we should point this out to C-Span.

They gave this jerk an opportunity he didn't deserve.

He probably only gets 50 people to his site.

36. Tony Blair was lucky that he had
a three-way race or he wouldn't be there anymore. He got 35% of the vote.

Caller from France: Shocked. A European high school student knows more about history than the US politicans. We know more about what is going on in Iraq than the Americans.

can't come up with a good defense on this one, so they're attacking Clinton, bashing the French, bringing up Korea, allying themselves with the New York Times - whatever. They're very desperate, and more or less admitting that it's true but saying nothing's going to happen anyway so shut up!

"Unfortunately for you, you chose the wrong representative" (paraphrasing). Why does Pillsbury doughboy think Conyers is a poor choice? I think this little fart weasel is so pale because he wears a sheet and a pointed hat in his spare time.

ask why if they are so proud of their war, why don't they pay for it now instead of putting it on the national credit card.

51. Give me a freaking break...
CSPAN did a crappy job. Why did they position this as a blogosphere topic? As though the idea of the Downing Street Minutes/Memo itself was a debatable conspiracy theory dreamt up by freaks wearing tin foil hats.

Don't they do any of their own analysis? Read any other sources? Give us
some legal experts for crying out loud!! This is outrageous. AND on air in the middle of the night. Give me a break.

52. My favorite part of that exchange was how
the RW idiot tried to say the memo/minutes were nothing more than a "parsing" of words. "British phrases"....:rofl: The chimp can lie out of his ass about anything he wants and that idiot tried to twist the OFFICIAL MINUTES FROM AN OFFICIAL MEETING into "parsed words" ????? Friggin' hypocrite! THEN, he tried to say that none of that came from Bush...it came from a meeting with Tenet???? Oooooookay. :eyes:

And, of course, he had to spend a good amount of time talking about Clinton! Sorry, asshole, THIS is about the idiot-in-chief. You people own this one and there's not a fucking thing you can do to change that. Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton...talk about Clinton all you want, the CHIMP is a fucking liar and now the world will be able to see that with their own eyes. Ha!

They can't spin this one. Parsing words, MY ASS! :grr:

IMHO, the world has already "seen" that (and for quite some time, actually)!

It's just that the chickenshits haven't noticed yet (and never will).
