that is until I find out it is the truth then I should cry like a baby.

:hide:


Seriously, based on everything you've seen, how could you not believe that the WH wouldn't deal with Lieberman.
just sayin

1. There's your error. When you find out it is the truth you're supposed to dig in your heels
and shout that it sucks anyway.

3. Or attack the source for some lame event that took place years ago hence 'tarnishing'
their credibility.

All to predictable when it comes to posting articles.

7. I can't say I like them either but it is stupid to ban them from LBN.

5. In poking around
It seems that both Daily Kos and Eschaton (or was it Talking Points Memo?) have gotten independent corroboration that the White House was leaning on Reid to negotiate further with Lieberman, despite the official denial from the White House. I didn't drill down into the links, but as Politico should be taken with a grain of salt, I repose a lot of trust in Kos and TPM, as well as Eschaton.

We'll have to see how it plays out, but I too am more than a little tired of being dismissed out of hand for not understanding the subtle nature of the Obama administration's political maneuverings just because they look for all the world like a sell-out of the people who helped put them where they are today.

6. Oh I think Politico is biased as well but to ban them as LBN is stupid, and
I'm willing to see how it plays out but the way things have been going the WH pressuring Reid makes sense...not in a good way.

9. No, but I've noticed that some on DU will use ANY source if it puts Obama in a bad light.

11. And I've noticed some on DU willing to resurrect formerly condemned
sources (like Raw Story) if it paints something in a newly favorable light.

10. You must post a lot on Chavez Threads :) There is NO truth out there on that topic
Because all sources have a bias.

Hell, I don't even think Chavez exists even....
