Sen Roberts Slanders Joe Wilson on Wolf show

[democrat in Tallahassee]

Just watching Senator Roberts on CNN. He said no one needed to slander Joe Wilson since he did such a good job himself by being all over the map on what he said.

I've watched Wilson many times and he has always been consistent and never uttered anything untrue - too bad Wilson cnnot sue these Bastards!

1. Afternoon fellow tallahasee-ite!

Senator Roberts and his ilk are what makes America such a shitty place to live these days. I want to see him eat those words when all the Puke machinery comes crashing down upon his head.

3. Yea, I wonder what BS we'll hear when RoveCo falls?

Some will probably say I said what I believed at the time. Some will try to lie, and some will just hide!

2. I Nominate Roberts

to the Top 10 Conservative Idiot List, and major pussy award.

4. Kinda like Safire

on MTP this morning, Russert asked the doddering old hack about the "latest developments" in the Rove case, then let him talk for what seemed like 5 minutes on the horror of Judith Miller's incarceration and a rehash of the "journalistic privilege" debate. Try to change the subject all you want boys, the fat man is twisting in the wind and you know it.

6. Roberts slanders Wilson every chance he gets.

His addendum to the "bipartisan" Senate Intelligence Report is one of the most oft(and mis)-quoted pieces of total bullshit used by the talking-point spinsters. I wish people like Roberts flew in small planes more often.

13. And Wolf allows the GOP to throw out their talking points

at every available opportunity. He's a whore/shill for BushCo. It's why I no longer watch any show on CNN he's a part of.

[Chipper Chat]

7. To put it simply: Senator Roberts is a dick.

Also, I think it is Wilson's hair style that invites the rightwing jabs at his veracity. White Republican neocon men all have the same haircut - short and parted neatly on the left and swooped over to the right. They disdain deviance to this.

8. Roberts still owes us our "Phase 2" investigation

and DSM and Rove/Plame should be high on the agenda.

[blm]

17. I now think Plame case is the reason Roberts won't allow Part2 of report

to ever have a hearing. The media seems to be giving it a pass and not one reporter has bothered questioning Roberts' conclusions that Wilson lied.

Uh...Sen. Roberts...why did only THREE Republican Senators (You, Hatch and Blount) add the section to the Intel report that claims Wilson was untruthful?

Shouldn't Roberts have to testify to Fitzgerald UNDER OATH how he came to the conclusion Wilson lied, and did he have any contact with Rove or people acting on Rove's behalf when he decided to add the Wilson charges into the Intel report?

Rove editted Tenet's report on Wilson, so would abyone think he'd stay away from the Senate Intel report?

20. I added your thread discussing this on my one of my posts below :)

21. Phase 2 Investigation

How right you are, Cocoa! To me this is the most blatant part of the GOP's efforts to block all oversight into Bush's LIES to get us into his personal war in Iraq.

One of my two (West Virginia) excellent Democratic Senators is Jay Rockefeller, who is Vice Chairman and ranking Democrat on the Select Committee on Intelligence. It was Committee Chairman Pat Roberts who decided that their investigation of the lead up of the invasion of Iraq would focus only on intelligence gathering organizations, and would specifically exclude any White House involvement until after the 2004 elections. This was done despite Jay's objections. How handy. The result was the crucification of the CIA, and the whitewashing of Dubya's role.

At the time, Roberts promised that the investigation of the White House's role would occur right after the 2004 election. This year, however, Roberts decided that scrutiny of the White House's role would be a "waste of time", and let it be known that the promised phase 2 would not occur. These Republicans are such LIARS!

Boys and girls, it is very important that we retake control of the Senate in the midterms next year. Then, these traitors will never survive the light of day that will be brought to bear by then-chairman Jay Rockefeller.

Please help make it so. Then maybe we can start getting our country back from these fascists.

9. More Republican projection from the senator

Republicans are the ones who are "all over the map" on what they've been saying. I agree with you. Wilson has been consistent when I've seen him speak or read his writings.

10. Late Edition

I turned off Late Edition because I got sick of the way the 2 hour show was being filled up with Supreme Court, shooting the wrong guy in the UK, and recaps on terrorist attacks. I thought they were going to haul out Michael Jackson.

Rovegate was significantly underreported, despite the obvious interest in the scandal's developments. And I'll bet when Pat Roberts participated in the never-ending Republican smear of Joe Wilson and his wife, Wolf Blitzer did not challenge him in any way, did he? Didn't ask Roberts to provide one single example of how Wilson is supposed to be "all over the map", did he?

[Pirate Smile]

11. Hey, Roberts, when are going to do the rest of the Intelligence Committee

investigation.

The part dealing with how the Intelligence was used by the White House?

The part you promised before the election that you would do after the election BUT now you wont do it at all.

Who really has a credibility problem, Senator Roberts? Look in the mirror.

[fooj]

12. Can't we sue him?

Just a thought.

14. Pat Roberts: Bush Apologist

He's exactly what's wrong with the Republican Congress....he rubberstamps everything Bushco does without question. A sycophantic Senator if there ever was one.

[Stil]

15. No good response from Sen. Dianne Feinstein

I was hoping when Roberts said that, we would have seen a show. At least some kind of fire in the soul. They need to get matching talking points going. When repubs say this you say this.

[Lecky]

18. Wow I find that sad

Feinstein was part of the 18 who came up with the Senate Intel Report, she and 14 others didn't agree over the smear Wilson "addendum".

What's wrong with that woman?

[Lecky]

16. Roberts, Hatch and Blunt were the 3 out of 18 Senators that thought it

necessary to add their partisan smear aimed at Wilson (now known as the GOP talking points) in the "addendum" section of the Senate Intel Report. Blm pointed that out the other day...in this interesting thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4171449

The 15 other senators (both Rep and Dem) didn't seem to agree with Roberts, Hatch and Blunt's conclusions about Wilson. Maybe these points about Wilson were pre-planned to go in there to be used in the future regarding Wilson.


I see Roberts is still shamelessly spewing lies that have been debunked over and over.

[polmaven]

19. Don't forget, this is the same man who called the cops

to break up a Democratic Caucus last year. The man has no scruples whatsoever,but the talking heads still ignore that fact and invite him to spew his trash out over the airwaves.
