Tony Snow: "This is a defining moment for the Democratic Party."

[VolcanoJen]

He's giving his briefing at "The Western White House" (gag) on MSNBC live now... and he's using it to smear Ned Lamont.

"This is a defining moment for the Democratic Party. They are the cut and run party. As Bin Laden has said, Americans will have enough, and then they'll stand down. Democrats have chosen to walk away, to wave the white flag on the war on terror. The will of the people has been tested, and the Democrats have failed. This President will never walk away."

[Miss Chybil]

1. They're scared!!!! LOL!!! Why should they care about Ned Lamont?

Why should they care about the Democratic Party? It's none of their F'n business who we elect in our primaries. They're running scared now! Woohoo!!! LOL!

[VolcanoJen]

11. They are scared, and they are shameless.

They continue to insist the Iraq War is part of the war on terror. They continue to slander Democrats. They continue to insist the President will never walk away from his own policy, good or bad. They insist that is a sign of his strength.

The country is waking up... actually, the alarm clock went off in Connecticut last night.

Tony? It's over, buddy. Wake up and smell the reality. The country is onto you, you sniveling coward.

[hfojvt]

41. they care because Lieberman was an effective shill for them

He was always quick to go on TV to support Bush and criticize Democrats, subtly giving the message that other Democrats are just partisan Bush haters and that the BFEE is not really destroying this country - that's just partisan hyperbole. And then all the pundits can say - gee, if only the other Democrats could put their partisan bitterness inside and do what's right for this country by enabling the Bush administration.

[ronnykmarshall]

2. "The President will never walk away..."

Please, STAGGER away is more like it for the lush.

[Hugin]

13. "... never walk away..."

"Trundled away to the drunk tank in a wheelbarrow, maybe. But, walk? NEVER!"

[dave29]

20. no, he will stand perfectly still in the quicksand

rather than admit a mistake. We all know this.

[VolcanoJen]

49. That's so true, and so very chilling.

Is America waking up?

I think, maybe.

[Lisa]

67. or he might flail around and grab several more people ...

in the hope of crawling out of the quicksand over their bodies!

As you point out, dave29 -- never admitting that he stepped in it, in the first place.

[niyad]

24. you've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when

to walk away, know when to RUN"

sadly, idiot and company know none of the above.

[Fleshdancer]

29. he'll just keep ignoring one war to start another

it's not "walking away" if you just leave troops somewhere and forget about them. Afghanistan anyone??

[mmonk]

34. I didn't know he was fighting in Iraq

[mcscajun]

75. Sure he will; on January 21, 2009.

894 days, 4 hours, 15 minutes from now, He'll be walking away Big Time.

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. LOL They sure are freaked out by the Dem primary in ONE state

I think it is pretty funny and oh so telling.

They are scared!!! LOLOLOLOL

:rofl:

[ronnykmarshall]

6. No kiddin'?

They don't like it when THE PEOPLE rise up.

[Lerkfish]

15. Fascists are always afraid the people will rise up...its why they do thing

things with an iron fist.

[Zech Marquis]

69. remember what V said

"People should not be afraid of their governments--governments should be afrid of the people"...i think we're finally seeing this government become VERY afraid of the results from last nigt (and from te looks of it whats cooking for November) :evilgrin:

[lyonn]

26. But, but, that was their favorite Democrat

the one that said to stand behind the pres. no matter during times of war! Then those stupid Dems voted him out!! (SARCASM) If the Dems really do wake up to what is really happening along with those middle of the roaders they are in deep trouble - I hope.

[goclark]

4. Who the hell is this idiot to speak to us that way!

He was so scared just flying in that plane in Iraq.

What a clown.

[WI_DEM]

5. What are you doing to catch Bin Laden, Tony?

[Lerkfish]

7. ahh. the stench of desperation. they KNOW something we don't as yet

mainly that they can only steal CLOSE elections.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

57. id' bet their internal numbers are numbing.

not only will congress run from the boy who would be King, but they may even run away from the rest of their policies. Stem cells was but a minor drizzle from a 6 week old baby puppy, overly excited to see master with food in hand.

[porphyrian]

8. Ha! What a stupid fucking piece of shit. - n/t

[Skidmore]

9. Some reporter needs to ask him what the name of the R candidate

in CT is and does * support him.

[annabanana]

25. BINGO!~. . . . . n/t

[Lerkfish]

10. am I correct that the press secy is not allowed to campaign?

not sure where I got that impression.

[Hugin]

17. Has something to do with the Hatch Act?

I think I remember hearing that somewhere as well.

[Lerkfish]

18. I seem to recall when the Hatch act meant something.

who knew laws would become so passe?

:shrug:

[Hugin]

38. Remember... This is a nation of men, not laws...

:sarcasm:

[bridgit]

12. he has to say that because the republican party has already defined....

theirs; they are Lie & Die killers of innocent children, ancient civilizations, economies & democracy

[Miss Chybil]

14. Has the WH Press Briefing EVER focused on a state primary

of the opposing party?

[LSK]

16. question Tony: Why are we setting up a Terrorist haven in Iraq?

[bowens43]

19. Wow!

Unfucking believable.

[AndyA]

21. Tony Snow: "This President will never walk away."

And he'll never admit defeat, either. No matter how many soldiers he kills and injures in the process. He'll drive us deeper into debt, allow American citizens to starve to death in the streets, die a slow painful death due to the high cost of medical care and prescription drugs, lose their jobs to outsourcing, suffer under the hardship of high gas prices, work until the day we die because there won't be enough money to retire on, and have our civil liberties and rights stripped from us in the name of our own good.

That sure sounds like someone we want to stand behind and support now, doesn't it?

:sarcasm:

[Exultant Democracy]

63. No matter how many Iraqi lives it takes

no matter the fact the the whole world is turning against us, no matter that the situation is only getting worse not better. He will not change a thing.

[porphyrian]

22. Yeah, Snow, but you don't get to define it, asshole. - n/t

[kurth]

23. This is FOX News speaking from the White House Press Secretary's podium

Lying scum.

[Nutmegger]

27. Great, endless "war".

STFU Snowman.

[paparush]

59. That is PNAC boilerplate. A permanent plank in the PNCA platform.

[pa28]

28. The usual false arguments.

The public is beginning to see through it. To say the war in Iraq is the same as the war on terror only works on the backwash Republicans. Even they don't believe it . . . not really.

And by the way. Where is Osama Bin-Laden after five years Tony?

[BuyingThyme]

30. Hey, Bin Laden and Tony Snow are on the same page!

No fucking kidding.

Hired by the same guy.

[Cleita]

31. Now they are using Democrats in the same paragraph as

cut and run, and Bin Laden. Soon it will evolve in the emptyheaded minds of freepers as Democrats cut and run because of Bin Laden.

[rustydog]

32. Leave it to Snow to quote America's most wanted enemy

rather than his own President. It's funny how BinLaden comes up only when this Administration thinks it serves it's purpose.

[Swamp Rat]

33. T-T-TT-Tony S-S-S-S-SSSnowww

H-H-Have s-sss-some KKKooool Aaaaaid. It's r-r-re-r-refreshing!

[Rude Horner]

35. If I was in the press corp, I'd ask...

but Tony...isn't this democracy in action? The people have spoken. Isn't this what Republicans claim to by trying to do in Iraq? Isn't this kind of a poor example to the rest of the world when we have an honest election by the people and then the official spokesperson for the President bashes it to hell?

Ahhhhh....I see. It's only Democracy if the results are what you want. Otherwise it's "the far left has taken over the party". :wtf:

Personally, I'd love to tell 'em all to shove it up their asses.

[long_green]

36. I am stunned

I actually thought the Administration would stay out of this. Well, they're not and now the Democrats have their work cut out: Joe Lieberman is the Administration's boy and if you don't stand up to him and do your utmost to end his ego-trip of a campaign you will be showing your weakness to your worst enemies.

[dmosh42]

37. bunch of draftdodgers

Tony Scum can stand away in the back with his asshole buddy, Bush, saying how they're standing tall in Iraq. Never did a day in the active forces, but criticize others who have.

[mmonk]

39. No

for America and the bush administration. Continue the road to hell or fix things and become world leaders or at least participants.

[Marr]

40. That is a REPULSIVE thing to say from the WH podium.

More than half this country is Democratic. The Executive Branch should not be in the business of making partisan assaults on the citizenry. What would they have said if Clinton's rep said Republicans were cowards? Think that would've been acceptable rhetoric?

[Rude Horner]

42. I'm with you

And they're basically slapping the face of every person in Connecticut who voted for Lamont. As if people don't have a right to vote for who they want. This is just sickening, especially coming from the administration who claims to want to spread Democracy. This is pure horseshit.

[Hugin]

45. If I weren't already suffering from outrage fatigue...

I would have noticed that earlier.

Thanks for pointing it out.

[malaise]

48. Make sure you're saving

everything they say. They are delivering fodder for the November elections.

[spooky3]

61. exactly!

[SeattleRob]

43. he's right! It is "defining"

The Repubs are trying to "define" and frame the events of yesterday. Unfortunately, many of the buddies in the
"liberal media" will use the Repukes terminology.

[gully]

44. "never walk away" How bout "I'm not that concerned about Osama?"

Cuz, that's what Bush said of OBL just a few short months after 911. Sounds like * RAN away to me.

[tabasco]

46. Chickenhawks love to talk tough!

Let that sorry mf'er say it to my face!

Tony Snow. What a sorry excuse for a human being. Just another coward.

Democrats believe in FIGHTING THE ENEMY, not invading countries for corporate profits.

I dare these neocon punks to tell me I'm a "cut & run" type to my face.

[ronnykmarshall]

47. Yes Snowjob it is ..

It's start of us standing up and kicking your mother fucking ass!

[Zero Division]

50. Republicans: "The Dig-A-Deeper-Hole Party"

Just a suggestion, but I think it could stick. Works well on a number of other issues, too, from the deficit to climate change.

[Miss Chybil]

64. I Like it! nt

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. Two Words Mr. Snow...

Jim Jeffords.

[sinkingfeeling]

52. No, Bushy ran away in the face of a) Viet Nam b) bin Laden, and

c)the mess in Iraq. A complete physical and mental coward.

[Jacobin]

53. I love how republican talking heads are so concerned for the dem party

They are always just so helpful and just so concerned and just wanna, ya know, cuddle up to us and just let us know what we need to do.

Its very very comforting and invigorating and we really really need to listen to them and follow their advice, cause I mean, ya know, they really MEAN US WELL and want to HELP US OUT

[jmowreader]

62. We do need to listen to them...

and then whatever it is they tell us to do, we need to not do that.

I don't ever remember the White House getting involved in a state primary race.

[B Calm]

54. Speaking of Bin Laden.... Did you find him in Iraq?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

55. the fact that a WH PRESS STENOGRAPHER - Tony Snow-flake

would spend the time, the energy and the effort to prepare his words (they are weighed, scripted and tested before release) and then to raise such an answer while so many important national and global issues are exploding, that tells you one thing.



Hey, everyone here who just suggested that they are scared? Stand up, pat yourself on the back. Now, the other side, and give a big rousting CHEER!

[Kashka-Kat]

56. OOOOHHH IM SCARED Osama is gonna get us

Not really--- wheres those rolling eyeballs-- still havent figured out how to put rolling eyeballs in a post. Anybody know?

[Bluebear]

58. Voila

:eyes:

[spooky3]

60. He's paid by tax $ NOT to give partisan speeches.

[Hubert Flottz]

65. Give Tony an M-16 if he wants to fight for a "Noble Cause" greed.

A political war so that Karl could brag about having a WAR PRESIDENT!

And now Israel is finding out that their PLANNERS was as inept at planning a war as the PNAC was. 15 Israeli soldiers dead today. War looks easy on TV!

[mhatrw]

66. So fighting Bin Laden = occupying Iraq

What a joke.

The only bigger joke is that our corporate media simply parrots that crap without putting it in the context of reality.

[guinivere]

68. What a lot of hot air!

They are peeved because their pet Dem lost.

That shrub walked away when he started a war in Iraq that had nothing to do with Bin Laden. And where the hell is Osama? Tell us, oh asshat Snow.

[kevinbgoode]

70. Seems like the Republicans are preoccupied with the other party

Tony sounds like he's just pissed off because Republicans believe they have a personal entitlement to position and power, too.

[killbotfactory]

71. We're still going after Bin Laden? WTF?

Might want to tell our military that, asshole.

[dweller]

72. This pResident will never walk away

sounds more like the declaration of Martial Law, and cancellation of 08 election is in the works...

the bastid will have to be tossed bodily from the premises.
dp

[calimary]

73. Oh yeah, I'm gonna let tony snow tell me what's a "defining moment"

for MY party. Yes, tony, we know your president will never walk away. That's why we'll soon be showing him the door, and kicking his sorry ass through it. Maybe all the way to THE HAGUE.

[mitchum]

74. And that loathsome motherfucker is paid with my tax $$$$$$$$

FUCK TONY SNOW

[Rex]

76. It says a lot about his boss and the stupid people in charge.

Remember, we ain't looking for OBL anymore (despite the fear the M$M gets from his name) oh wait...that is to make him think we ain't looking anymore. Ohhh. Wow! Brilliant! But wait, what if we really don't look for, oh there we go, let him think that we don't care. Dam

Brilliant! :dunce:

[spanone]

77. Hey, blow it out of your ass, Tony.
