Only one thing against Kerry, and yes, I think Cheney does not directly gain from the Halburton contracts (though he certainly benefits his friends and cohorts).

[Roland99]

17. Good thing he didn't say FatChick.com!!

BTW, this is what factcheck.com was a year ago:

18. Factcheck.org is no cup of tea for Bushco either

Dick ain't too smart after all.

21. Show up at a Cheney rally with sign FACTCHECK.COM!!!

Hey, you're just echoing Cheney's words. Totally loyal!

[CitySky]

33. YESSS!!!!

In fact, EVERY Bush/Cheney rally from now on should feature someone carrying this sign prominently, preferably a clean-shaven overweight white guy who could easily pass for a Republican (my apologies to all of the clean-shaven overweight white male democrats out there, but we need you to go undercover for a bit!)

:D

[Roland99]

27. From the transcript

http://www.nj.com/newsflash/politics/background/index.ssf?/newsflash/politics/background/1005_debate.html
quote:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CHENEY: Well, the reason they keep mentioning Halliburton is because they're trying to throw up a smokescreen. They know the charges are false. They know that if you go, for example, to factcheck.com (sic), an independent Web site sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, you can get the specific details with respect to Halliburton.

[KC21304]

42. Cheney had the factcheck site ready if Edwards

talked about Cheney's compensation from Halliburton, but Edwards didn't mention that. Edwards talked about Halliburton's links with Iran etc. So Cheney gave an answer to a question that wasn't asked. And then gave the wrong site. LOL

[newsguyatl]

29. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

30. As SOON as he said it, I posted here

that he said the wrong address.

Good on Soros! ROFL!!!!!

[Roland99]

32. Post this EVERYWHERE you know!!!

[ParanoidPat]

34. Thanks Roland99! You've made my WEEK twice this week!

Way to go! :toast: :evilgrin: :thumbsup:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :bounce:

[Roland99]

37. Mon plaisir

:toast:

[CitySky]

35. God Love George Soros!

HA HA HA HA HA!

[Julian English]

36. hilarious!

[Borgnine]

38. Hahaha.

Man, did Soros move fast or what?

[Duncan Grant]

40. Good God! It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

LMAO! :7

[gemlake]

41. I love it!

Cheney's problem is that he's a .com man

[tjdee]

43. George Soros ROCKS. I bet Cheney will hit the ROOF.

He ROCKS.

ROCKS I say.

Just gorgeous.

Cheney's trying to sound all hip like the younguns, with the internet websitey things, to exonerate himself (Not a good idea, Dick)...and SNAP. Doesn't know the difference between .com and .org. Then, George Soros swoops in and takes advantage of his misspeak.

That is just gorgeous. Wish I couldl be in the room when Cheney hears.

[Enraged_Ape]

44. Oh, God, that is so, SO funny

I really feel that fortune is smiling on us.

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

45. The best thing about this

is that even the site Cheney was TRYING to talk about, www.factcheck.org, is harsher to Bush than Kerry (because Bush has a greater need for misdirection and lies). Moreover, the specific article Cheney was talking about didn't even relate to any of Edwards' charges (dealings with Libya, etc). All it said was that Cheney doesn't benefit financially from Halliburton anymore.

[Roland99]

49. Talking points...talking points...talking points.

I had an idea that Cheney was bound and determined to work that site into an answer in some manner.

[cynthia]

46. good work

Cheney is so pathetic, don't you feel just a little sorry for him?

NO!

[Roland99]

51. Sorry for Cheney? Oh HELL no!

:evilgrin:

[Oak2004]

47. Oh do I love old resisters against fascism!

I guess they never forget how to strike creatively whenever the enemy leaves themselves open :D Thank you, George Soros, for sharing with us your decades of experience resisting totalitarians (and would-be totalitarians) in America's hour of need.

[txindy]

48. That is the most Rapid Response EVER!!

In fact, that might be the most Rapid Response possible -- unless you count the time machine the AP used to write about the first pres. debate before it happened. ;-)

[Jean Louise Finch]

50. Oh ecstatic delight!!

that is Hilarious with a capital H.

Good times...

[knight_of_the_star]

52. Oops

That's going to be QUITE entertaining when people go to check out what he said.

[Joefess]

53. LOL

I love this!!

Cheney is not a master of the interweb!

[johnnyrocket]

54. I checked in out IMMEDIATELY when Cheney said it, it was different...

It was a for sale domain name...its been changed in the last hour or so.

[StElsewhere]

55. Where, oh where, was Bush's Brain?

The mighty Karl Rove didn't anticipate this happening? He must be slipping. To go to that website and see Soros was a pleasure beyond description.

[Roland99]

56. Can't wait to hear their spin on this tomorrow!!

[bush equals idiot]

57. Banner headline.

WHY WE MUST NOT RE-ELECT PRESIDENT BUSH.


Oh God, I have to stop laughing, my side hurts.

[philaguy]

58. Soros Did Not Do That

Factcheck.com was registered quite some time ago by Name Administration Inc. Name Administration often registers expired or abandoned domain names which comprise generic or descriptive terms, e.g.:

http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2002/d2002-1167.html

http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/281591.htm

The staff at Name Administration have been through some difficult times lately, due to the impact of hurricane Ivan on Grand Cayman, and they were delighted to have been given this opportunity by Vice President Cheney.

Name Administration Inc. received no payment, inducement, or any communication from George Soros or any political organization for re-directing the domain name. It was purely a volunteer gesture.

JB

[Senior citizen]

59. And a perfectly splendid gesture it was!

May everyone at Name Administration, Inc. prosper, and may the name of Name Administration, Inc. go down in the annals of history as the benefactors of humanity they are.


NAME ADMINISTRATION, INC.: :yourock:

[Roland99]

65. Someone at johnkerry.com said it was a friend of theirs that owns that

and redirected it to Soros' site last night!

[DoYouEverWonder]

67. The webmaster posted this over in LBN

No Thanks, Please

Please don't send thank you emails. Traffic volume in the first hour alone was on the order of 48,000 unique visitors.

If you feel compelled to do anything, please make a donation to rebuild Bodden Town, Grand Cayman, which was hit very hard by Ivan:

68. Dupe

[BRLIB]

71. If this is true and Soros has done nothing on this yet I suggest he ASAP

negotiate or otherwise do what is needed to make sure Freepers don't either buy the site or otherwise have it redirected....to one of theirs....

[philaguy]

73. No Need To Worry About That

The domain name is not for sale, and isn't going anywhere.


JB

[iaclassic]

60. Wonder how long it will take...

Wonder how long it will take for news to catch this?
Priceless, amazing, wonderful
ETC
LOL

[AnIndependentTexan]

61. Freepers think they can fix cheney's mistake

If you are unhappy about it, write to the owner of the domain at:

[e-mail]


and tell them you're upset that they pointed it to Soros.

These sites are bogus. And there will be the % of people that will fall for them. That's who the damnocrats are going after. All by deceit.

Naw, the people who have the intelligence to use a computer, have already made their choice. The gullible ones are not in this group of voters.

Face it, most of the gullible people today have a difficult time even understanding the English language. These are the people who are told how to vote by others.

62. Let's hope all those undecided voters go to that site to check Hannibal's

claims! ROFL

[Roland99]

64. Hannibal! heh heh...never heard that one

This still cracks me up this morning!!

[Mister K]

69. Awesome

There is nothing like free advertising in a debate. Especially if the advertising goes completely against you.

...and it appeats that www.factcheck.org is down at the moment...

[debatepro]

70. Check your facts

Cheney trying to be coy with the internet savvy crowd made the biggest blunder of the debate when he plugged factcheck.COM... Anyone who went to factcheck.com noticed that it redirected them to www.georgesoros.com. George Soros is the billionaire currency speculator that is funding several progressive leaning 527's most notably Moveon. The problem is that the two main headlines on the page are "Why we must not re-elect President Bush: A Personal Message from George Soros" and "President Bush is endangering our safety, hurting our vital interests, and undermining American values." If that wasn't enough the website factcheck.org issued a statement saying that their message was about a advertisement and that quote "Edwards was mostly right." A blunder of colossal proportions.



From Factcheck.ORG
http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docID=272
"Cheney wrongly implied that FactCheck had defended his tenure as CEO of Halliburton Co., and the vice president even got our name wrong. He overstated matters when he said Edwards voted "for the war" and "to commit the troops, to send them to war." He exaggerated the number of times Kerry has voted to raise taxes, and puffed up the number of small business owners who would see a tax increase under Kerry's proposals.

Edwards falsely claimed the administration "lobbied the Congress" to cut the combat pay of troops in Iraq, something the White House never supported, and he used misleading numbers about jobs.

Cheney got our domain name wrong -- calling us "FactCheck.com" -- and wrongly implied that we had rebutted allegations Edwards was making about what Cheney had done as chief executive officer of Halliburton.

In fact, we did post an article pointing out that Cheney hasn't profited personally while in office from Halliburton's Iraq contracts, as falsely implied by a Kerry TV ad. But Edwards was talking about Cheney's responsibility for earlier Halliburton troubles. And in fact, Edwards was mostly right."

[Roland99]

74. And to the right claiming Soros bought up the domain or someone hacked it
