Guest-Bass R-NH on CSAPN just repeated lie that Dems took Abramoff money

[CottonBear]

He is equating taking $ directly from Abramoff to receiving a contribution from an Indian Tribe in one's district.

Hopefully, Media Matters for America will continue to expose this lie by Republicans.

edit: sp. Need more coffee. :)

1. And Susan didn't correct him?

She knows the truth. I know C-Span hosts are suppose to keep opinions to themselves, but are they not suppose to correct BLATANT LIES?:grr:

[CottonBear]

6. They should but usually don't, especially if they have 2 GOP guests. n/t

[mrcheerful]

2. It was funny how he then ratted off 4 or 5 repukes yet never

once named a Dem about taking Abramoff money. He did try to make the plea that there was no difference between Abramoff money and tribe money because it all came from the same people. What he left out was the fact that Abramoff was using tribe money to out right buy votes. The tribes were not seeking that when they donated to Dem's.

3. Of course Susan didn't question his statement. Sometimes the hosts will

question an outright lie. KKKarl must ahve called Brian Lamb and warned him to keep all of the hosts on the GOP reservation.

The guest threw out that lie/talking point and that's what the GOP sheeple will hear. The fact that he backtracked and attempted to explain himself is irrelevant after the initial lie.

4. We need to be calling in this morning.

Anyone able to?

[CottonBear]

7. I'll try. I've never gotten through. Mr. CB got on the air once. n/t

[ComerPerro]

5. Well, and they tried the same stuff with Enron

"Enron gave money to both sides, not just Republicans".

Giving $100 to a few Democrats and thousands to Republicans is hardly "both sides"

[rodeodance]

8. and about a half hour later he is still spueing.

[EST]

9. He also claimed that he, himself

is a reformer, but the democrats wouldn't let him. Gaaaa! Slimy little weasel

[CottonBear]

11. HELLO Rep. Bass: The GOP has control of the congress & executive branches

so that stupid argument won't hold water.

10. The low life PRICK, want's to cut "entitlements" like school lunch...

and aid for poor folks who can't afford to heat their homes, but thinks it's fine to have given the oil companies, who BTW, have just had a record year, a 10 billion dollar plus government entitlement. The reason people can't pay their gas bill, is because the republicans, whom the oil companies fund in every political race, turn right around and remove any restrictions on energy companies to gouge us to their heart's content. I'd call in and talk to the liar but I get way too pissed off! Some of the kids who won't be eating lunch at school, are no doubt, going to be going without the ONLY SQUARE MEAL, that they were getting each day, because of the poverty the GOP has created since 2000. Who needs the entitlement more, Exxon or America's hungry kids?

Who would Jesus think was more disserving of an entitlement, EXXON? Republican "MORALITY" is ALWAYS coming down HARDEST on the weakest people in our country! What did the poor do to piss the GOP off so much? Who would you the TAX PAYER, rather see get the government entitlement, EXXON or a hungry kid? It's coming out of your pocket, just the same as it is Bush's PR Flunky on TV! We probably pay more than the congressman who hides his money in an offshore bank or a, not so "Blind Trust"

That "man," is anything but honorable, and neither is anyone who steals from the defenseless and rewards the wealthy with the spoils! The GOP has hundreds of Dick Cheney's and George Bush's waiting in line, like corporate self serving vultures, to swoop down on the weak, the poor and the defenseless in our country of plenty.
