Cheney, Rove and Fleischer and the importance of net neutrality
Traitors slithering onto the airwaves and teevee - ENOUGH!

Cheney, Rove, and Fleischer and the Importance of Net Neutrality
by Joseph Palermo posted on Thursday, 19 March 2009

Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Ari Fleischer, and other right-wing mouthpieces are trying to frame future debates while they reinvent the George W. Bush years. Their eerie falsehoods, half-truths, revisions, and lies are given added weight because they sit atop a bed of chatter and static, often called the “echo chamber,” of Fox News and right-wing talk radio. Everything that comes out of Cheney’s mouth (or Rove’s or Fleischer’s) is carefully calculated and designed to cast doubt about the current president while whitewashing the disasters of the previous one. Their dire warnings about how President Barack Obama is not “keeping us safe” from terrorists, and their repeated claim that Bush “kept us safe,” starkly reveal their propaganda goals. Cheney’s take on 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, and the budget deficits of the Bush years should send shivers up any rational observer’s spine.

In 2004, Cheney said the same thing about John Kerry: a vote for Kerry meant a vote for a heightened chance of terrorist attack and more dead Americans. Disgusting. It is even more sickening since Cheney is the one with the blood of 4,500 Americans and 200,000 Iraqi civilians on his hands. He’s in no position to lecture us on how to prevent American deaths. Yet there is CNN’s John King or NBC’s David Gregory or ABC’s George Stephanopoulos sitting across a table nodding and giving these monsters a platform to shamelessly propagandize the American people.

1. These "interviews"
Do they invite themselves on, pressuring the networks?
Do the networks invite them on to keep the lies alive?
Or a little bit of both.

Whatever: the result is pure evil and I can't watch them.:mad:
