Left Wing History

Ray McGovern, the former CIA analyst who last week accused Rumsfeld of lying about pre-war intelligence,
has a long history of attacking the administration from the left.
McGovern co-founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, which encourages intelligence operatives to undermine the Bush administration by leaking classified information.

1. Utterly predictable -- the swiftboating begins...

[MadMaddie]

2. Ah....yes....let the swiftboating begin.....to bad that there is a video

record that verifies Rummy was lying.!!!!:rofl:

[Harper_is_Bush]

13. Yes. You mean this one:

3. So?

Does that excuse Rumsfeld's blatant lies?

[Harper_is_Bush]

8. Of course the fuck not! That's the 1984'ish hilarity of it!

He's been a critic before...{implication is that therefore he has less cred}

logical failure occurs because a critic of Z will remain a critic of Z unless they don't remain true to original critisisms.

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Yeah, a long history

Like since 2003.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Maoists activists? LOLOLOL

"What's more, the Weekly Standard reports that McGovern served so-called "war crimes indictments" on the Bush White House in January on behalf of the left-wing group, Not in our Name, which was founded by revolutionary Maoist activists."

[Harper_is_Bush]

9. HA! Good eye. The bullshit never stops from Hume and his ilk. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. So where is the Maoist link?

I searched this website and I can't see anything remotely connected to Mao or communism. What am I missing?

11. I am a believer in reasoned investigation and debate...

but I would not waste my time with any subtle aspects of what Hume has to say. His stuff is too full of holes to bother with.

Let me know if you find the excuse for his likely illogical claim.

:)

[NewJeffCT]

17. My guess

There is such a long list of signatories that somebody in one of those groups probably either vacationed in China once or dated a Chinese person, so they are obviously a pinko commie spy by Fox news standards.

[magellan]

21. Maoist activists?!?!

Oh sure, someone whose 27-year career in the CIA includes highlights like the following is definitely harboring sympathies with Maoists:

McGovern was a mid level officer in the CIA in the 1960s when his responsibilities included analysis of Soviet policy toward Vietnam. At this time, his contribution to CIA analysis was provided to Henry Kissinger during the Nixon era. McGovern was one of President Ronald Reagan's intelligence briefers from 1981-85 when he was in charge of preparing daily security briefs for the President, the Vice President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Cabinet and National Security Advisor. He also briefed President George Herbert Walker Bush in the White House in the 1980’s.

McGovern is also a former CIA operations officer, making him a veteran of the CIA’s clandestine service, which manages the agency’s counterterrorism center, espionage and paramilitary operations.

Weekly Standard = Neocon RAG.

[Botany]

6. Such a bad lefty that he was President H.W. Bush's C.I.A.

briefer with regular visits to the White House from 1988 to 2002.

Just like Joe Wilson who faced down Saddem Hussein is a liberal too.

All lies by Fox for Bush & company.

[Harper_is_Bush]

18. Oh no you don't, NOW he's just a "heckler". [/sarcasm]

[Triana]

7. GOOD for him. He's NOT "Fair and Balanced"

I want the TRUTH. Not Faux's or any other lamestream media outlet's idea of "fair and balanced" (NOT that Faux is anywhere near the moniker just because they use and abuse it).

W E * W A N T * T H E * T R U T H -- and if the lamestreamers don't have the integrity to report it then THANK GOD for people like Ray McGovern and Stephen Colbert, Mike Malloy, Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Dan Rather, Keith Olbermann, Helen Thomas...

f*ck balanced. Truthseekers UNITE. Faux New be DAMNED.

[johnnie]

12. That's strange

Fox has a longer history of attacking the left from the right.

[Avalux]

14. lol. He was George HW Bush's daily briefer -

and spent a distinguished career working for many presidents. McGovern is a proponent for the truth - something Fox knows nothing about.

[Harper_is_Bush]

15. “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”

carved into marble of CIA entrance.

Something Ray McGovern lives by.

[originalpckelly]

16. Yeah, and Fox has a long history of spewing bullshit from the far right|nt

[Harper_is_Bush]

19. Kick for truth to power.

I see folks wasting time trying to find proof for crazy conspiracies and it's depressing.

It's depressing becuase the truth passes them by. People like Ray McGovern is explaining it easy enough for a class of 6 year olds, and they just aren't paying attention.

[Disturbed]

20. "Does that excuse Rumsfeld's blatant lies?"

Yes, the RWing excuses all the War Crimes of Rumsfailed, as well.

Some don't even address the lying issue, only attack McGovern.

[NightOwwl]

22. Can somebody swiftboat Brit Hume...

Please?

[Mr_Spock]

23. Faux "News" is nothing more than Fascist corporate propaganda

They are an enemy of the United States and are about as anti-patriotic as you can get.

Fascism is NOT patriotic.

[BuyingThyme]

24. The truth has a left-wing bias.

[Marr]

25. Sanity = Left?

Why am I not surprised?
