Keep talkin' Rummy! New GOP talking points a DUD!

[npincus]

Does anyone else think that the new GOP strategery-- a shit storm of attacks (terrorist appeasers, enabling "Islam-o-fascists". etc.) upon the anti-war MAJORITY of the American public is going to backfire big-time?

Is it my ole' left-leaning self, or won't the general public catch a whiff of desperation, and feel offeneded the the White House is qurestioning their patriotism, suggesting "moral confusion" because they no longer want to continue this foolish war in Iraq?

Does anyone else think the GOP Talking Points are such blatant anti-democratic, sweepingly insulting propaganda that will hit the general public like a slap in the face?

Keep it up, Shitheads! :rofl:

In his report on the speech, Associated Press reporter Robert Burns, the senior newswire service reporter covering the Pentagon, said Secretary Rumsfeld had "accused critics of the Bush administration's Iraq and counter-terrorism policies of trying to appease" terrorists. A later version of the story noted that Rumsfeld had not specifically mentioned critics of the administration, but quoted the secretary as saying "many" have not learned history's lessons.

The Pentagon issued a statement saying the story "seriously mischaracterized" the secretary's remarks, and calling on the Associated Press to correct the story. On Wednesday, Pentagon Press Secretary Eric Ruff explained just what he thinks was wrong with the report.

"The mischaracterization comes from the reporting that said the secretary was accusing critics of the Bush administration of supporting appeasement or being appeasers," said Eric Ruff. "I'm paraphrasing. And that is not what was said by the secretary."

In response to an email inquiry, spokeswoman Linda Wagner said only that the Associated Press is standing by its story. She provided no other response to the Pentagon criticism and declined a request for an interview.

Other major news organizations also interpreted Secretary Rumsfeld's words as referring to administration critics, including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today and CNN.

:rofl:

1. I don't think voters are going to support an administration that

has led the nation into bloody failure.

And Rumsfeld's desk is at the top of that hierarchy, just barely beneath Dubya's.

The Iraq endeavor is done for.

2. I'm watching the CHICKENHAWK Monkey on Tee Vee

and he actually had the brass monkey balls to put this line in his speech:

...from Khe Sanh to Kuwait...

What NERVE!!! Because he shirked his duty, a kid who took HIS place in the active duty forces likely died or was wounded at Khe Sanh. The only time he should mention Vietnam is to precede it by "I did not serve in..."--the jerk.

What an asshole.

3. Isn't there a video of Rummy giving the speech? Then all one has to do

is hear what he said.

4. It appears their desperation is at a new leverl

One of the *Co buffoons tries a line of speech and if they get called on it, they just have some low level spokesperson hit the airways and declare that their earlier line of speech was mischaracterized. And it sounds often like the spokespersons end up confused about what to say. What a joke of an administration. Dangerous jokers.
