[knowbody0]

hannity and colmes right now

[Blue_Roses]

1. oh boy!

watching now:bounce:

[rodeodance]

2. He is reminding us that he called for Rummy's resignation over a year

ago!

[rodeodance]

6. says it should NOT take 2 and half years to train Iragi troops.

[rodeodance]

8. says time after time Rummy has been wrong in his 'predictions"

[rodeodance]

10. Kerry talking about how Bush has alianted us from the world.

[rodeodance]

11. Kerry comes across so sincere when he talks of families who have

lost loved ones in this war.

[blonndee]

25. Thanks for the synopsis. I missed it.

I just got back from a vigil at school.

[LSK]

3. thx

Almost forgot. No Hannity, making Colmes give the interview. Gutless cowards that they are.

[brainshrub]

4. Is he going to surrender early?

I'll go make some popcorn!

[LittleClarkie]

13. Well, if calling for troop withdraw could be considered surrendering

I guess so.

That is what you're talking about, isn't it? (innocent look-- bats eyelashes)

[brainshrub]

20. Is he calling for a troop withdrawal from Iraq?

And perhaps demanding a time-table?

[LSK]

22. both

[LittleClarkie]

24. Affirmative, both counts, with a mea culpa chaser

Ayep.

By the end of this year, a significant reduction. By the end of next year, all out.

[Vektor]

21. He can surrender to my steamy seduction...

I'm counting on it. :evilgrin:

[BattyDem]

35. LOL!

You're a much braver soul than I!

:popcorn:

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Geez I can't bring myself to watch Insanity and whimpy colmes!

Feed me! :yoiks:

[Tiggeroshii]

9. Colmes is good!

...every once in a small while :eyes:

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. LOL yes indeed!

:eyes:

[oasis]

7. "One of the greatest foreign policy misadventures of all time" Kerry says

of the way Bush has handled Iraq.

[onehandle]

12. No Hannity.

The only way this interview could work.

In five minutes Colmes will be sweeping up the studio again.

[rodeodance]

14. Kerry says the big problem in DC right now is the possible tax cuts for

the ones who do not need it.

[Vektor]

15. Why did he even go on this show?

Hannity blows and FOX isn't worthy of Kerry's presence.

[LittleClarkie]

19. To make freepers sick?

To get the exposure that Dr. Fate calls for?

Because Wes was lonely all by his lonely Democrat self?

Hopefully he will be elsewhere as well.

Is he on CSPAN I wonder, right now?

[LSK]

23. no, the house is running long tonite

[Vektor]

26. Kerry is so hot I am almost tempted to turn on FOX...

But I cannot bring myself to do it. Hopefully someone will post some screen captures of his studly visage.

[Pirate Smile]

29. It was an interview with Colmes alone. He didn't have to deal with

Hannity or Coulter.

[LSK]

30. more like Hannity and Coulter didnt have the guts for the truth n/t

[LittleClarkie]

31. Probably best

I wouldn't want him to face assault charges for tying the two of them into a square knot.

[misternormal]

33. I absolutely HATE...

That prima-donna, self serving, pretentious, cow Ann Coulter...

Is it just Me, or when she is on Hannity and Colmes, everytime she says anything, she seems to giggle, glance to the opposition, and then look to Hannity for approval???

[adigal]

34. I think he is doing like Wes Clark, going on and getting

his message out. Some of the wingnuts may say, "Hmmm, you know, that John Kerry may have a point." I have to believe that his intelligent discourse will win over some viewers.

[sandnsea]

38. Private interview with Colmes

Very respectful, almost like real journalism. Somebody has to tell the fauxnuts the truth.

[IChing]

16. dupe delete

[IChing]

17. He mention my pet peeve "non secured ammo dumps"

First time I've watched faux in over a year. now to turn it off.

[Tiggeroshii]

27. I read a recent article while going through my gf's dad's playboy...

by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. saying it was probably good for the Dems they didn't win the presidency because the blame would have been blame of the Iraq mess would've shifted from Bush to the Dems. It was a really good article actually, better than i'm explaining it. It's a shame you have to look in Playboy if you wanna read an article by Schlesinger...

[arewenotdemo]

28. Is he laying out his plan

for how to "succeed in Iraq"?

[LittleClarkie]

37. More likely his call for withdrawl and his timetable

did you see his speech today?

[emulatorloo]

40. yes - getting US out on real timetable, getting sunnis/shias political sol

ution

20000 troops out by christmas all troops out by next year

Link to full speech here

[samplegirl]

32. why is kerry affraid

to use the word "LIAR" nobody had a problem when it
was Clinton.

[SledDriver]

36. Good question...

When speaking of bush and his cronies, they should always throw that word out there. Kind of like the RWs always finds a way to mention Hillary.

[BattyDem]

39. It's not just him ...

it's almost all of the Dems and frankly, I'm fed up with it!

Hey Dems ... These bastards have committed treason and jeopardized our national security! STOP PLAYING NICE!!! :grr:

[sandnsea]

41. Nadler didn't either

Because there's no absolute proof. And there wasn't with Clinton either, until he admitted that he lied.

[LSK]

42. why dont you people read his words today

"The country and the Congress were misled into war. I regret that we were
not given the truth;"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5177000&mesg_id=5177000

Getting a little pissed at all the Kerry bashing from those who dont bother to get informed.

[emulatorloo]

43. why should every Dem emulate Limbaugh and other Republican Slime

before they become acceptable to some on DU?

I think Dems are trying to raise the level of public discourse, not lower it.

Kerry's criticism is harsh.

[BattyDem]

44. There's a difference between hurling slime and speaking the truth

Calling Hillary Clinton a "feminazi lesbian" is slime.

Calling * a liar is truth.

emulatorloo ... I'm not trying to pick on you. :-) I'm not even picking on Kerry specifically. This is a common problem with the Dems.

I don't understand ... why do we have to "soften" the truth in order to raise the level of public discourse? When did telling the truth become "dirty politics" or something that needed to be made more palatable? :shrug:

[samplegirl]

45. Its not slime

its the truth..........and the whole world should
not be affraid to use those words after Downing St.
memo.

[BattyDem]

46. I agree ... that's my point.

Why is it that telling the truth is equated to the GOP slime machine?

Why do the Dems feel like they have to use words like "misled" instead of "lied" - why must they soften the blow every time?

The truth is the truth and there's no shame in speaking it, nor is it slimy.

I don't get it. Who gave the Dems the idea that speaking the truth was somehow a bad thing? :shrug:

[emulatorloo]

47. When I hear a politician call another politician a "Liar" I tune out

It makes me doubt the person who is saying it. I don't think I am the only one either -- to me it feels like the last resort of a scoundrel. Maybe because in my personal experience, those who call others "Liars" are usually liars themselves.

OTOH I don't get the same feeling if someone says "X is not telling the truth."

[BattyDem]

48. Ok ... I understand what you're saying ...

I want to hear them say the word "liar" because I KNOW it's true ... but the average person who doesn't read DU or other boards/blogs has no idea what's true and what isn't. I guess strong language could turn them off. It's just so frustrating to watch the Dems play nice while the Repugs keep beating up on them, you know what I mean? :-)

[emulatorloo]

49. Yeah I know exactly what you mean

and am frustrated by it too -- when the repugs push hard we need to push back. . .but I feel like you can be tough without getting ugly, as my momma would say!
