Karen Hughes Minister of Lies and Propaganda Spreading LIES WORLDWIDE!

[rbajai]

Now I believe that the sole purpose of Karen Hughes' ambassadorship is to spread LIES and PROPAGANDA regarding the Iraq war and other Bush policies. The rest is just a smokescreen.

<snip>
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 21 -- Bush administration envoy Karen Hughes visited Indonesia on Friday as part of her campaign to repair U.S. standing with the world's Muslims and defended the invasion of Iraq by telling skeptical students that deposed president Saddam Hussein had gassed hundreds of thousands of his own people.

Her remark was an impassioned answer to familiar criticisms of U.S. policy raised by her audience at one of Indonesia's leading Islamic universities. But it was also wrong.

State Department officials later acknowledged that Hughes, tapped by President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to set the record straight on U.S. policies in the Muslim world, had misreported history.

3. Absolutely pathetic...

4. Hughes' load of bullshit sells in the US

Since we have a right wing corporate controlled media, her bullshit here goes unchallenged. And the sheeple buy it.

Outside the US, people actually know what's going on and Hughes' style of lying and spinning are ridiculed. She will totally fail outside the US. Our homegrown fascists-- Hughes, Bush, Rice, et al.--cannot relate to other cultures. The world sees right through them. Maybe the sheeple here will wake up someday too.

5. On a recent tax payer-funded trip abroad,

I believe it was to Turkey that day, Hughes remarked that "..the United States Constitution says that we are one nation under God", or words to that effect. This is a deliberate misstating of the Constitution and of the clear intent of the Founders to NOT include any such reference to God or gods in this document. Notwithstanding that this clause doesn't even belong in the Pledge, I'd like to know when a Congressional Democrat or perhaps a spineless member of the MSM is going to call this fraud out on her deliberate distortion of the United States Constitution?

Hughes is the worst kind of turd, the right-wing kind.

7. her goal is to spread Bush policy simple as that-and Congress funded

her program.

[skylarmae]

8. this woman is a disgrace -

its amazing she is allowed to do this on a global scale. Spewing bullshit to the American people is one thing, but this is so over the line, I'm surprised it is allowed to stand. She needs to get her giant texas ass home...

[wildwww2]

19. And I`ll bet my tax dollars are paying for her to spread Bu$hco lies.

How pathetic can these "worse than nazi`s" get? I predict that we have not seen anything yet. And I am sitting here in Florida waiting for a hurricane that starts with the letter "W". A omen of bad and sad times to come I think.

George's cronies are almost exclusively simple.

[elehhhhna]

15. When hwill Harriet pull her own Nom. to "spend more time with

Karen Hughe's family" ? LOL

[spanone]

16. The fact that she is ANYWHERE representing US is embarassing.

[CHestonsucks]

18. I unequivically agree.

Suffice it to say she sure as shit doesn't represent me and millions of other Americans and even the truth.

I think more bloggers need to speak out against her heresies.

17. HEY, KAREN! EXPLAIN THIS:

US soldiers in Afghanistan burnt the bodies of dead Taliban and taunted their opponents about the corpses, in an act deeply offensive to Muslims and in breach of the Geneva conventions.

An investigation by SBS's Dateline program, to be aired tonight, filmed the burning of the bodies.

It also filmed a US Army psychological operations unit broadcasting a message boasting of the burnt corpses into a village believed to be harbouring Taliban.

According to an SBS translation of the message, delivered in the local language, the soldiers accused Taliban fighters near Kandahar of being "cowardly dogs". "You allowed your fighters to be laid down facing west and burnt. You are too scared to retrieve their bodies. This just proves you are the lady boys we always believed you to be," the message reportedly said.

21. "Lady boys"? I think the translation is off a little.

Probably meant "Girlie men".
