RW talking point: "Angry Democrats will do anything to attack

[Ron Green]

this administration, including denying the Vice President a very human mistake on a normal South Texas hunting weekend."

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. "...And then covered it up."

[endarkenment]

3. and was drinking

and was in the company of women he was not married to.

[Ron Green]

5. I don't the cover-up will carry much weight with the masses. It sounds too

much like insider media stuff, as if elected officials have to immediately report to a Talking Head whenever something happens.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

10. On the contrary, it's PRECISELY the coverup, or delay in reporting, that

raises the antennae of most ordinary people, and makes them realize the Cheney is not a good guy.

[Ron Green]

25. I think most people don't care if Cheney's a good guy or not.

They see him as a real tough guy (and at some level probably understand that he's the real President), so they grant him his secrecy and misanthropy. They want America to have somebody as mean as Osama, so they're willing to cut him LOTS of slack. The more we scream "drunk hunting trip" or "coverup" or "mean-spirited," the more the masses will forgive him.

I fervently hope I'm wrong, but unfortunately I haven't been wrong in years about these things.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. Well, I'll scream it, and you can not. May you find your way rewarding.

[Marr]

2. Yeah! So he shot some guy in the face! It's not like he shot someone!

Er- uh- er-

[ktlyon]

30. yeah it was just a lawyer , what's the big deal?

kidding

[MadMaddie]

4. So Clinton's very human mistake.....infidelity...

Was okay to mock and villify. Two consenting adults and no one is shot or killed!!

Cheney shoots a man in the face and chest and basically shows no remorse and we should let him scate around the law and around being irresponsible!

I don't think so!!!

[Dr.Phool]

7. But, you forget all the people Clinton killed!

:sarcasm:

[MadMaddie]

11. and I did forget mention of the blue dress!!

:hi:

[underpants]

6. As I mentioned here Ron

[seabeyond]

8. normal hunting trip. canned birds, picnics, shooting someone

these arent normal compared to hubby and friends hunting trips. bah hahahahaha these people ... just pathetic. people arent buying this. they show pathetic over every part of their being.

[Atman]

9. You and me have committed "very human mistakes," but...

...how many among us have SHOT A MAN IN THE FACE??

Or, hell...experienced a "South Texas hunting weekend?"

I hate thee fuckers. I really do. But being a democrat, at least I feel bad for hating.

[FightingIrish]

12. It must be that we hate them for their freedom..

To get away with murder
To destroy the good name of the United States
To completely ignore half of the population
To cram their religion down our throats
To violate the privacy and civil right of American citizens

Need I go on?

[MrBenchley]

13. Yeah, a normal Texas weekend when a millionaire gets shot in the face

by a cowardly drunken U.S. Vice President while the two of them are at a lobbyist's ranch with women who are not their wives.

Especially when there's a cover-up afterwards. Yeeee-hah!

[neuvocat]

14. Yes even though...

Ed Shultz on Air America yesterday acknowledged that it was an accident.

[librechik]

15. wait--are we prissy pants wussies or scary angry psychos???

make up your minds, RWers. We can't REALLY be both, now, can we?

[triguy46]

16. they'll even make cheney shoot someone. n/t

[Blue Belle]

17. Do they normally have hunting victims on a South Texas Hunting Weekend?

Cause you'd think that would be a problem for any region of the country. Or are we supposed to just chalk it up to something that South Texans Do?? I'm confused... normally that would be thought of as a problem - but then again, I'm from a Blue State so WTF do I know?

[debbierlus]

18. A very human mistake?

Shooting someone in the face is a very human mistake?

No. Cheating on your taxes is a human mistake. Lying to a friend about denting their car is a human mistake.

Shooting someone in the face does not qualify for the 'very human' mistake catergory!

[thefloyd]

19. Dean needs to tell Cons

to stop getting defensive

[bigmonkey]

20. "But, it's different for Republicans and Democrats!"

When Democrats do bad stuff, it reveals their essential evil nature. When Republicans do bad stuff, it just reveals their essential humanity.

[rucky]

21. Response: We're not doing anything.

Cheney's digging his own grave just fine without our help.

[MissWaverly]

22. yes, and the Angry Repugs impeached Clinton for a blue dress

and this administration will go down in infamy!

[MadHound]

23. Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I've made some very human mistakes

But I never, ever have shot somebody in the face, nor put anybody in the hospital other than myself. And yes, I've done things that I look back on now and wonder how in the hell nobody got hurt, but none of them involved guns.

[stevietheman]

24. Our retort: "What's wrong with anger?" Simple. n/t

n/t

[Just Me]

26. Damn straight we're angry!!! The leadership has committed freakin' crimes

against our people, our nation, our Constitution and they just stick their thumbs up their butts and say, if it feels good, it must be the right thing to do.

They are DICTATORS and CRIMINALS, fer krist's sake!!!

[Horse with no Name]

28. If it is a very human mistake

Then every person in this country who has accidentally shot someone needs to be released from prison, probation or parole.
Not only that, if Whittington dies and Cheney isn't held accountable, then every person who has accidentally killed someone needs to be released from prison, probation or parole.
You see, this isn't a human mistake. It is an egregious error in judgment. The law recognizes that this happens and has punishment defined for this particular crime.
Many people have accidentally killed people that they loved and still had to pay the price for justice to be served.
Cheney needs to pay. Just like you or I would have to. He is NOT above the law, regardless of what he and his minions think and no matter how many of his corporate media croneys whine and piss and moan that this was just a mistake, then they must concede that accidental death should not be punished...ever.

[Swamp Rat]

29. So will Dickhead Cheney!
