ken mehlman RNC chairman just called us all 'The Angry Left'
on wolf blitzkrieg's show. we are all so very very angry aren't we though? kenny is pissy because all we liberals can do is attack good people like karl rat.

it's a liberal smear job and it's Dean, Clinton, and Kerry stirring up shit with the likes of 'move on.org' those dirty commies.

ken talks fast, but he's lost that usual sappy grin permanently. in fact, he almost seems....angry.

how bout you, you dirty liberal, are you part of the angry left? if so, what the fuck are you so angry about, didn't you ever 'get over it'?

9. Mehlman Is Failing & Failing Badly.
Blitzer is smacking him around like a little ball.

Mehlman is repeating the same lame "Wilson was wrong" argument.

It's clearly NOT the issue. Pathetic.

15. No one asks Ken how was Wilson's story wrong?
Tell us Ken what is wrong with Wilson's story. Joe went to Niger, there was no record of yellow cake, and the President said it anyway, how is that wrong?

10. He just said Joe Wilson is a liar and the story Cooper wroter turned out
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 04:29 PM by Miss Chybil
to be false. So, these are the talking points, eh. "Forget about Rove, Wilson's a liar?" I thought Wilson's story proved to be true. What the fuck are they trying to pull here?

On edit: I guess the "silence" of yesterday, was to prepare for this blitzkrieg. If they get away with this... :grr:

been proven. How can they go on national t.v. and say Wilson's story was FALSE and not be countered on it? This is absolutely INSANE!

but I have yet to hear what he was wrong about. I guess it is just 'wrong' to point out that the president is leading us to war on false intel.

just sat there and took it. He let that bastard spew lies in his face without asking "What exactly was false about Joe Wilson's story? Exactly?"

32. Blitzer Did Ask That
Mehlman started to blather on that Cheney didn't send Wilson like Wilson claimed.

Blitzer then said that Wilson's claims about Iraq not pursuing material in Niger was correct and then he went back to the real issue...

Rove revealing a CIA agent to the public.

I am angry because we went to a war based on a LIE, that was shown by Joe Wilson had nothing to do with yellow cake or WMDs. The RNC along with anyone else who propagated this lie is responsible for KILLING over 1700 Americans, wounding over 12000 Americans, and killing over 100000 civillians

YOUR DAMNED RIGHT I AM ANGRY!!!

98. Angry?! Oh my...
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 08:12 PM by susanna
Good grief, these people are astounding.

Yeah, I AM angry. I have woken up every morning the last two years facing the awful fact that one of my dearest friends is dead because of the liar-in-chief's made-up war. That this same friend left behind a wonderful wife and two beautiful children because of nothing more than bald-faced lies. That my dearly departed friend's children will never truly know what a wonderful man their father really was; they were far too young when he was taken.

Reading my prior words, I guess I AM kinda pissed. So I guess you could say that I will not go quietly into Mehlman's armchair-warrior fantasy of a good night. (So to speak.)

On edit: still_one, this is not towards you. It's a general rant, but your lead-in somehow fit. Just so you know...

20. This Is Delicious...Mehlmann's A Firewall
The damage must be getting deep when he's trotted out. It means the usual right wing hate radio hit squad of Rushbo and Hannity and the media puppets aren't "doing the job". They're not getting the spin spun right. The questions are still being asked...this wasn't supposed to last this long.

A classic moment...Wolfie asks Melhmann if he's been subpoena'd to testify...Melhmann "lawyers up".

Keep parsing...the hole is being dug deeper right in front of our eyes.

Let's start an email campaign against Melman and send him every old email and post we can find on 'pukes dissing Clinton - we need to help his obviously faulty memory of past 'puke smear campaigns - send 'em over to the RNC with a copy to the media.

When Wolf asked him if he was ever part of a discussion, while in the White House, that included what should be done about Joe Wilson.

It seems I've heard that phrase somewhere before, can anyone help me out?

46. Our reply? "You BET we're angry." And its not just Democrats anymore.
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 04:51 PM by shance
Can we agree that at this point it would be essentially insane for anyone NOT to be angry?

Look at the constant, neverending inflictions and assaults on every single element of our lives since these individuals stole the election of 2000.

We have had our privacy rights taken from us for no legitimate reason, we've had our pride of our country taken from us, our rights as individual property owners threatened, our tax money taken from us and now is going to an illegal war , our rights as women being used as a hot potatoe issue to keep Americans divided, and most importantly our environment and every creature on this planet's life is daily jeopardized by an Administration that continues to trash any regulations designed to protect our surrounding environment, our future is threatened because those who own the oil want to keep pumping it at the cost of our air and water and soil, even when for decades we've had access to alternative means of fuel, electricity and power.

Yes, Im angry.

In addition is it not true that Republican's are chronically frothing at the mouth and angry that they don't totally dominate and rule over us?

Don't believe me? Well, look at the actions of Tom Delay, Dick Cheney, Rick Santorum, Bill Frist, Sensebrenner, who today issued a bill to make the Patriot Act PERMANENT. What are they continuous actions proving other than they desire total domination over everyone and everything.

Our problem is we are afraid to be angry. And it is our fear that will essentially allow these people to destroy our country and our planet. And much pain and suffering will take place in between if we don't fight for what we have.

It is our fear that of course allows them to remain in the powerful position they are in, and it keeps us in the vulnerable, subservient position we are in.


In response to Mr. Mehlman, the last thing we need is to defend ourselves. He is saying that precisely because that is what he fears. Our anger. It is a futile attempt to shame us away from feeling our anger and to make us feel shame for the only emotion that will save this nation now.

The last thing we need is a whiney, defensive, sniveling, apologetic, response to such an obviously thinly disguised comment of his own. And its not just Democrats who are angry anymore. Its the majority of Americans.

YOU BETCHA we are mad.

Mehlman stands to lose Joe-sixpack on this one, this is a big miscalculation. All the pig-fuckers in "Scarborough Country" (that actually sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale) want to be identified as angry, Mehlman's losing his touch. If it's one thing his base can identify with, it's anger.

:grr: So it's perfectly acceptable for these hypocrites to be angry for 8 years resulting in impeaching Clinton, but we're suppose to be dancing a jig for Commander CuckooBanana's lies, which get people killed? :crazy: Total insanity!

64. What? Me angry?
Naw. I heard everyone using the same talking points today. Angry left, political smear campaign, blah, blah. Angry is not the right word for it. Angry is not a strong enough word for what this lib feels. And guess what, it has nothing to do with politics. I'm pissed that they think they can get away with treason. But then why do I find that suprising? After all they twice elected a deserter didn't they? Traitors and deserters, cowards the whole lot of them.

69. YES! I'm angry!
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 05:37 PM by Triana
Youbetcha! You know what Mehlman et al are afraid of? We might get 'too angry'. Too angry for WHAT? Too angry to allow the current 'status quo' to be maintained? Yep. That's it. Oh my. Are we TOO ANGRY? I certainly hope so. Because that's the ONLY THING that will get things changed -- and things NEED to change.

_ _ _ _ _


..."Funny thing, it seems disempowerment and abuse breeds anger. When I look at who is labeled "too angry," I realize I am in good company. I do not want to be in, or support, the status quo or middle class. If I scare patriarchy enough to warrant the "too angry" label, it means I am effective. You have got to look at who is calling you "too" angry and why. The political use of the "too angry" label has been hurled in the past at Malcolm X, Black Panthers, famous feminists throughout history, anarchists, rap artists.basically anyone who threatens to upset the status quo. Even the Dr. Rev. M.L.King, jr., who many view as too pacifist, was called "too angry" as a way to try to neutralize his influence within the status quo.

Am I "too" angry? Too angry for what? Too angry to fight for an end to homelessness and hunger? Nope. Too angry to fight for women's equality? Nope. Too angry to stand up for what I know is right even amidst a sea of armored pigs waving sticks and spraying chemicals? Nope. Too angry to fight rape? Nope. Too angry to fight for children's rights? Nope. Too angry to fight to save our eco-systems? Nope. Too angry to fight against third world exploitation by first world countries? Nope. Too angry to formulate coherent arguments and persuasive articles on these issues and my anger? Nope. What am I "too angry" for? I am too angry for the status quo. Yes, I admit that. But is that a bad thing? I am not convinced that is so. Who draws the line between enough anger and "too much" anger? Who can we trust with such judgments? "

Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 05:56 PM by kineta
haven't you noticed how often it's being said lately?

The democratic party is *finally* starting to fight back and they're testing the waters on ways to stop it.

Best thing, imo, is to NOT address it at all and just keep calling them on their shit. Without mercy.

on edit: i'm actually surprised they didn't try the term 'hysterical' LOL

Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 06:09 PM by bunny planet
Karl Rove jeapardized the National Security of our nation with his vindictive, petty, and treasonous behavior. That doesn't make you angry Ken? Ambassador Wilson tried to stop this administration from lying this country into a pre-emptive war that has taken the lives of over 1700 of our young men and women. What's not infuriating about that KEN?

Damn straight we are angry.

I'm angry that Walmart drives down wages, pushes their healthcare responsibility onto cities and counties, increases sprawl, kills suppliers and hurts unions.

I'm angry that we don't have Economic democracy and the only political democracy left is pretty much corpo crap straight down the line.

I'm angry that we all consume so fucking much crap and waste so much fuel and destroy the goddamned environmant.

I'm angry that the religious right has beaten the progressive religious types to a pulp politically.

I'm angry that I so fucking angry all the time.

what I feel about these traitors and I just got even MORE angry watching Mehlman defend that treasonous King of Smear, Karl Rove.

Why didn't Wolf ask him why Bush hired someone who was fired by his own father for funneling info to Novak in 1992 to smear a member of Bush Sr.'s campaign?

Yeah, he got one thing right, and it isn't just the left that's angry!! Even more angry are Repubs who initially believed the lies. He hasn't seen anger yet!

What do you expect? The right-wingers have

- stolen not one, but TWO presidential elections

- told outrageous lies to lead this nation into war

- killed hundreds of thousands of human beings to enrich BushCo's coffers

- falsified scientific reports on everything from global warming to mad cow disease to advance their greedy agendas

- perverted and manipulated religion in order to control people

- denigrated women all over the planet

- made a mockery of justice in the United States and destroyed the Constitution

- controlled the media to dupe the public into somnolence

- compromised the health of all U.S. residents by fouling the water, air, and food supply

- reduced what few avenues the poor could ever have of getting out of debt or getting an education

- sold this nation's residents into being guinea pigs for hugely powerful pharmaceutical companies

- attacked anyone who doesn't buy into their specious reasoning and intolerance

- and degraded the name of the United States of America throughout the world

So, YEAH, I'M ANGRY! And even if Rove were shackled in a dark, cramped, unventilated underground pit full of chiggers for the rest of time, I WOULD STILL BE ANGRY because of all the other pricks right behind him, ready to take his place!

105. I saw some of his interview on Wolf B.'s
I was actually rather amused watching Mehlman spout and splutter, like a raving lunatic. I thought Blitzer actually had a bit of fire in his eyes when he asked a couple of questions, and wow, Kenny boy was looking like he was about to hit total meltdown.
What an asshole. Nothing but "Reid, Dean and Mrs. Clinton," although he did refer to "Mrs. Clinton" ONCE as "Senator Clinton."

be angry.

Freedom is the most important thing in the world to many liberals, and corrupt RWers have stolen our government, our liberty, and our right to national self-determination, and have given the reins of our sovereign government entirely over to global financial powers.

It is said that the most dangerous enemy that you can ever make is one that has nothing to lose.
