C-Span WashJnl 7:28ET: Repugs are nuts! remove funding from Red Cross,

[LittleApple81]

eliminate cameras, it was a few soldiers, they didn't put cigars inside female prisoners, we don't see any torture!!!!
I saw Bev Harris's report of the comments she got from Gore Vidal in another thread in DU today. He said we will have to take to the streets here in America as the only way to stop the madness. When I listen to these cooks I can see where he is coming from.

[skooooo]

1. wait...are you saying..

...they WANT to remove funding from Red Cross, or what?

[izzie]

2. Must be, as they told about this so they are not with us.

You do know we are in a madhouse, I am sure.

[NMDemDist2]

3. yes there are some real Kool Aid drinkers calling in this AM eom

[Skidmore]

4. One guy wanted to

license cameras so they wouldn't be used improperly. Another man and woman seemed to believe that those pictures were taken by some Dem operative. One lady was whining that she didn't understand why we were being subjected to this bad news because there's so much other good news out there--like the economy.

[KharmaTrain]

11. Blast Fax Noise...

I'm gonna watch this lie/spin today. Last night I heard the balloon floated on Drudge of "some Democrat operative" as the one who took the pictures (of course staged) and this is a plot by Kerry to ruin the war "effort".

I know, we all know, this is an absolute lie, but as others have noted, the Kool-Aid drinkers in the Repugnican coven are in full-bore denial and we should be prepared and expect more of this.

Granted, if we have to withdraw our forces, no matter what, it's always gonna be "the Liberuls fault". If that means saving lives and bringing sanity back to our government, then I take full responsibnility...something this regime has never done. Supposedly this regime believes taking responsibility is a sign of weakness. But whose really the weak ones right now?

Stay tuned, this week could be the Alamo for many wingnuts.

[July]

16. Laugh at them. Point out how stupid they sound.

"Trying to help Bush instead of facing reality?" The more you laugh, the less they'll try it on.

[0007]

12. I blew coffee all over my keyboard on that call

The cigar caller took the prize.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. I heard that one...

...and, IMHO, I think he was being sarcastic without the benefit of an "/sarcastic" tag. When asked to explain, which he did, the lady on C-SPAN said (and I'm paraphrasing), "I think we've got it..."

[LittleApple81]

5. Why do they have Kristol on? He is another nut that has a bully pulpit.

We don't want to have this people without any counter balance on C-Span. If you show somebody like this, they should have the opposite view argued by a decent person.

[Qanisqineq]

6. they didn't put cigars in the female prisoners

but possibly their penis. No cigars in males prisoners either, but possibly broomsticks and chem lights. I wish ALL the abuse would come out, so people like that guy (I heard him and changed the channel) would know the truth.

Edit: by ALL abuse coming out I mean more publicly, in all newspapers and on all news stations, not just the Taguba report on the internet and other sources many of these people do not read.

[prolesunited]

21. Not only that

But what do they NOT get about consensual sexual activity (albeit a little weird IMO) and rape/assault.

[LittleApple81]

7. Kristol wants IRAQI elections. Just stamp their hands to show

they voted... He is such a hack.

[LittleApple81]

8. Kristol: Kurds have been "very well behaved"... How condescending!

[LittleApple81]

9. Kristol: BRING UP AGAIN CONNECTION BETWEEN ALQAIDA AND

SADDAM!!!! They are desperate. Liars. Criminals.

[0007]

13. I heard that. Listening t Kristol for 45 minutes is like eternity in hell

I'm outta here.

[tabasco]

10. Yep, thank God there was no consensual sex.

That would have been a real disgrace.
The hardcore repugs don't care how far down this Nation goes as long as it is their man leading us. Maybe they think it's God's will for America to conquer the world. Funny how God doesn't tell more of them to go join the Army.

[LittleApple81]

15. How to WIN this war? What is this guy? He wanted army to "pacify"

Fallujah?? We killed 600 people but he thinks that is not enough!

[LittleApple81]

17. He wants to KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL. Horrible. n/t

[dusty64]

18. Yup, it seems

about 35% of our populace is certifiable. Sad but true.

[LittleApple81]

19. Why doesn't he volunteer to go to Iraq? He is so anxious to send

"patriots" to fight over there. Isn't he a patriot?

[LittleApple81]

20. Asked about civil war in the US! He says, no, no, even with the 2000

election things are pretty civil, Bush is the elected president, we are going to have elections, respect for the military by everybody now not like the 60s and ROTC coming back even to Harvard as it should...

What a nut.

[LittleApple81]

22. The Congress wants to feel like they know...but not that important

for Rumsfeld to have given them the heads up.
This is horrible. Is this the repug mind set?

[LittleApple81]

23. Photos just show Childish behavior!!!!!! Oh my God!!!!

[Hubert Flottz]

24. Says there will not be a draft and in the next breath wants to........

drastically increase the size of the military! He must want to hire a hell of a lot of "contractors"!

[LittleApple81]

25. This is VERY FEW SOLDIERS... He doesn't want to go up the

chain of command. How can he say this is just childish behavior? Some of those children should get ahold of him, and pretend he is an Iraqi.

[LittleApple81]

26. Kristol: Rhetoric from Bush has been very careful and measured...

What planet does he live in? he did not want to talk about history of the borders (Kuwait)... No, no history here... move along.

[Paradise]

27. oh man, what B.S. this kristol is dishing out. n/t

[LittleApple81]

28. He SEES NO EVIDENCE that we are creating more terrorism.

We are really fubar... this people will never admit wrongdoing.

[LittleApple81]

29. He is so happy about the food-for-oil UN investigation. Why not

investigate our killing, raping, invading, lying for OIL?

[LittleApple81]

30. She closed the segment with a "Bush interview with NY Times"

Then, a repug called in and said they are going to release 20000 pages of the records of Kerry and the groups that protested against the war?
When is Kerry going to just FIGHT BACK!!!

[KharmaTrain]

31. C-Span Classic...

It's like Karl had to pick up the phone himself to call in the points...

1.) Torture is "alleged" (obviously the photos and Army reports are lies).

2.) Speaking about the torture is abetting the enemy. (As though they don't know it's happening?)

3.) We're not losing the war...the "Liberal Media" is losing it through doubting our "military" through qustioning "leadership" and airing these photos.

4.) Those pictures were planted by Democrats to destroy * and the war effort.

5.) They killed 3,000 of our people...or even more finely spun, we lost over 100 troops last month (even though these pictures come from last December when even Bunnypants could fly in) and the country was relatively passive...and that torture or "interrogation methods" are needed to protect our troops.

The unbelievable part is hearing people call in with these "points" and others that fly in the face of all the moral values this regime claims is divinely blessed upon them. I think I'm gonna be sick!

[leesa]

32. To them the Red Cross is the enemy. Whenever the Red Cross

points out our abuses, they are punished. Remember all the trashing of the Red Cross when we were thrashing people in Central America?

[mike_c]

33. ahhh, the nutcases swarm out ot the woodwork...

...whenever the RW gets caught with it head up its butt.

[Toucano]

34. Did you hear the guy who said the Geneva Convention had to be relaxed

to give "flexibility"?

Those people sicken me.

I sure hope Bush is listening once in awhile to get to know the America he's created.

[Skittles]

35. AH THANK BOOSH IS DEWIN' A GUDE JAHB

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I am beginning to think my boyfriend Tom is right: Americans ARE stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
