via Eschaton:

On Scarborough:... And Joe Wilson has no right to complain. And I think people like Tim Russert and the others, who gave this guy such a free ride and all the media, they're the ones to be shot, not Karl Rove. Listen, maybe Karl Rove was not perfect. We live in an imperfect world. And I give him credit for having the guts.

1. To requote "King suggests death penalty may apply to WH CIA link"

:evilgrin:

[gratuitous]

2. Standard Republican tactic

Don't like something? Shoot it. Blow it up. Hit it. Welcome to the neanderthal wing of the American body politic.

3. Scarborough has more sense than King

SCARBOROUGH:
I got to just tell you, I mean, bottom line is, if Clinton's chief of staff or top adviser had leaked the identity of a CIA agent, you and I would be up in arms and say, Clinton had to fire that person immediately.

Should Karl Rove be treated at the same standard?

REP. PETER KING, NEW YORK: No, in fact, I think Karl Rove should get a medal, Joe. I really mean that.

I think, Joe, this thing was such a hoax. Joe Wilson was a shameless self-promoter. Everything about his story was either a lie or a hoax or he was incompetent. And when Karl Rove—even just looking at the e-mail. If you are talking to a reporter and you have someone like Joe Wilson, who was totally discrediting the president of the United States, unfairly and untruthfully, and you say, how come this guy was sent over to do this?

And Joe Wilson has no right to complain. And I think people like Tim Russert and the others, who gave this guy such a free ride and all the media, they're the ones to be shot, not Karl Rove. Listen, maybe Karl Rove was not perfect. We live in an imperfect world. And I give him credit for having the guts.

And I really—I tell you, Republicans are running for cover. They should be out attacking Joe Wilson. We should throw this back at them with all the nonsense that has been said about George Bush and all the lies that have come out.

4. was this part of the latest talking points?

i could have sworn on Washington Journal yesterday morning, the woman was reading from a Norm Podhoretz piece saying the exact same thing this violent sociopath is saying.

[quaoar]

5. Yes, it's back to attacking Joe Wilson

They are also attacking Valerie Plame and Matt Cooper. It was a big conspiracy to entrap poor ole unsuspecting Karl Rove.

6. why does no one

just say that to them?


i'd love to see soemone with a voice do what they did to scotty the other day:


"oh cut the shit - and let's get back on subject? you can't possibly be serious can you? we all know the game being played here."



i also think we should immediately tag any representative that even suggests violence a "violent sociopath"

7. We need a good old fashioned: "Have you no shame sir, have you no

shame?"

Just calling these bullying galoots on their spin causes them to go convulsive...once called, they have nothing to back up their claims....give Rove a medal????...:wtf: shoot someone for bringing out the truth????...:wtf:

These people are loons!!!!!

[quaoar]

9. They are like cornered animals

lashing out furiously at anything and everything.

8. King sounds grieved. He must realize...

King sounds grieved. He must realize that the Bush administration can't come back from having people close to the president indicted.
