Campbell Brown, Hardball, June 2004

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5277869/

"BROWN: I want to ask you how you feel about the war in Iraq. And if God is calling this war a disaster, does that mean that he is actually opposed to it?

"ROBERTSON: Well, I don't think God's opposed to the war, necessarily, but it was a danger sign. I felt very uneasy about it from the very get-go. Whenever I heard about it, I knew it was going to be trouble. I warned the president. I only met with him once. I said, You better prepare the American people for some serious casualties. And he said, Oh, no, our troops are, you know, so well protected, we don't have to worry about that. But it has been messy. And I think we're going to come out of it, though. I think we'll have a free Iraq. But it certainly has been a mess so far."

1. is this getting any extensive media coverage

2. If they're so well protected. . .

Why doesn't Bush go off to Iraq and lead some of them into battle? Get out on the front lines, be a MAN'S MAN.

(oh please oh please oh please)

6. the MSNBC quote?

The quote from MSNBC?

I haven't seen it until it was carried in this morning's Washington Post.

Perhaps you are talking about Robertson's comment on CNN this week. If not, please enlighten me.

7. I hadn't seen this quote either

seems to back up Robertson's claim.

11. I dont have the links, but yes

I specifically remember that it was a quote of him talking to Campbell Brown

12. we've seen it here...lol

was asking if the major media markets are picking it up as news or not...or are they too busy with lesbians and faux catfights...

4. Here's the equation for why this is coming back around

Robertson (alleged christian) + Charles Taylor (alleged christian) = Diamond Mine Partners

bush* (alleged christian) - Charles Taylor = bush*co family Diamond Mine

Robertson - Diamond Mine = "bush* is a fuck up"

5. Thanx, I hadn't seen this one yet.

I'll email it to the "news" organizations as a news tip (as if they'll take any notice).

8. BAM!

:kick:

9. This is so amazing.

Two experts on God. Each man has his own "God", and those 2 God's are telling their guys different things. Incredibly interesting.

At this point, if anyone still votes for Bush can only blame him/herself. They were warned. This is the last and final warning about BeelzeBush.

10. Yes but Chris Matthews won't even replay this comment

he spent two segments last night on Hardball bitching about THK instead of focusing on this which is far more important. God forbid he discuss anything of substance.
