OMFG..."Murtha is Michael Moore." They're MELTING DOWN. LMAO

[Proud2BAmurkin]

The latest comments from the White House, covered in the STENCH of desperation, compares Murtha to Michael Moore.

Are they THAT fucking out of touch? Is the strategy to hold on to the 19% approval rating for Cheney?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

1. I could not BELIEVE it! Bizarre! nt

[Hutchewon]

7. It's one of their typical responses to critics.

They always try to paint the opposition as being part of the radical left. This is starting to become hilariously funny, because the American people are beginning to realize they the (bushistas) are on the very radical right (fascist). The scary part to me is that these people are so amoral, I beginning to think they will do anything to hold on to power. Maybe, destroy some major city then declare martial law to "fight the terrorists".

[newyawker99]

36. Hi Hutchewon!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[tridim]

2. Please please please let Moore respond MSM.

I think he has the right since the WH just attempted to smear him directly. OMFG is the exact same response I had. I think their house of cards is completely flat now. It's pure desperation.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Oh of course

When in doubt bring up the ACLU, Michael Moore (who I believe is an independent who made a doc on the Bushies and told us the truth), AAR (or as a lot of them call it ErAmerica) and/or John Kerry. :eyes:

[neuvocat]

3. What...?

[LSparkle]

4. Michael Moore must be SO proud!!!

This is GREAT -- they are GOING DOWN!

[Wetzelbill]

5. I like how they attack Michael Moore as if he's the big bad wolf, too

the guy has devoted his life to helping the populace and exposing corruption. A populist fighter is the GOP's idea of pure evil nowadays. Heaven forbid, we aren't all like Dick Cheney, Karl Rove or Ken "Kenny-Boy" Lay. If only Michael Moore and John Murtha could repent and be as chaste as those guys.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Yep. They are in total collapse now.

How could they be any more stupid? Smearing a decorated veteran (although it's NOT a smear to cite Michael Moore). They are off the wall. Hell, even the FReepers must know this isn't going to work against Murtha. Cheney must be pissed.

[babylonsister]

8. OK, I'll bite. What are you talking about? Link? Channel, sumthin'? nt

[DeepModem Mom]

11. This was breaking on CNN -- it is apparently the official WH response...

to Murtha's speech.

[babylonsister]

Thanks! nt

[Rick Myers]

9. Look out!!! He's gonna BLOW!!!!

Any minute Dick and the Chimp are gonna explode!!!

[opihimoimoi]

12. The Bushies Swift Responses have been INEFFECTIVE and IRRESPONSIBLE

Attacking Democrats is UnAmerican and UnPatriotic...more Dems have fought in the Military than Pubs.

[Hutchewon]

10. Cnn is quoting Scott McClellan as saying that Murtha is in with the

likes of Michael Moore(not an exact quote, just my take on it.

[DeepModem Mom]

13. Still in disbelief -- are they this out of touch? Who in the HELL...

do they think is going to be influenced by this statement? Are they desperately trying now to just hold on to their wacko base?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

17. Everyone here... has helped to bring this about... take a bow. nt.

[DeepModem Mom]

21. That is a wonderful thing to say. I'll take a bow for all of DU! nt

[Jacobin]

14. They are soooo fucked they aren't even trying anymore

[HereSince1628]

39. They've got nothing left but insults and its only a few days into

their "counter attack"

Wow. I can't imagine _that_ strong defense of their Iraq policy is going to really win over the 12-15% of the US population they need to regain a simple majority of support.

"Dr. Phil? Your GOP needs you! What were they thinking?"

[gademocrat7]

15. Keep it coming

they are spinning out of control.

[DemExpat]

16. This looks like a real meltdown for sure.

If I was a believer I would be praying now for just that.

:bounce:

DemEx

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Oh I do

Ever since last year I just prayed for things to work out in the best way and look at what's going on now. Yay! I love it. The only good thing about Bush being "re-elected" is he is getting his just deserts for all he's done and hopefully soon justice with Fitzgerald.

[LittleClarkie]

18. And someone at Kos thought they wouldn't DARE to diss a

decorated person like him.

What planet are THEY living on. Of course they would dare. I'm just surpreised they would do it directly. I thought they'd bring out the Smear vets.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Let them keep hanging themselves

Nice for us in 2006. Maybe they don't know Cheney has a 19% approval raiting. Shh, don't tell them though! It'd be funny if they all got cozy with Cheney when he's even more disliked than Bush!

[DancingBear]

22. You think THIS is good?

Just wait for Murtha's response. I have this funny feeling it may not be too cautious.

Hot damn.

"gray lady down, gray lady down..."

[FreedomAngel82]

24. I can't wait

The democrats have been doing great lately!! I thought I heard on an AAR news report that he's an Iraq war veteran? :shrug: Anybody know?

[DeepModem Mom]

27. Vietnam Marine. Tough as nails, but looks like everybody's Grandpa.

Was close to tears talking about visiting injured soldiers in hospital.

[DancingBear]

28. He is a Vietnam war vet n/t

[foreverdem]

38. He's also a Korean War Vet

According to Air America, Sam Seder mentioned it on the Majority Report last night.

[HeeBGBz]

25. They are so done

Today I heard my diehard repuke regulars talking about how awful Bush turned out to be and that they have no problem admitting when they are wrong.

These people dogged me for months after the election last year. All I could do was smile at their epiphany.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. Great!!

I'm glad to hear that. Even my own Grandma, who for the longest time was a Bush apologist and supporter, this last weekend told me she was doubting Bush with his lies and even doubting whether or not he is even a Christian (well that's a big duh).

[DemExpat]

29. My "Dem" brother n law voted for Bush twice.....

and even though he now has deep regrets for doing so, I vacillate between being glad he has seen the light and being hateful at his stupidity!

:D

DemEx

[kpete]

30. Bush has jumped the shark.

[librechik]

31. Snotty is a genius

especially when they hand him an old, un-proofed script.

Let's see--wasn't Michael Moore the boogeyman several years ago? Right around the time they sent him out to claim Rove had nothing to do with the Plame leak?

I just keep thinking about how frustrated the 101st Fighting Keyboardists must be with the lameness of the WH response to all this. They have promoted the idea that these guys are invincible. Infallible! And it turns out they're not even credible or competent and EVERYONE KNOWS IT EVEN THEM!!

Yet because of all their loud bragging absolutist BS supporting all the neocon business, they can't take it back without revealing what idiots and liars they all are!

Keep the popcorn handy. Good to eat while watching others eat crow (oh so deservedly)

[Cha]

34. "101st Fighting Keyboardists"!

:rofl: :rofl:

[DeepModem Mom]

32. kicking for those who tuned in late --

[goclark]

33. kick it for the Democrats, they rocked today!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

35. KICK to rubberneck at Pissypants wreckage

!

[triguy46]

37. Oh yes, the highly successful Michael Moore attack...

that will certainly sway public sentiment. Is all the fascistas are capable of doing is name calling? Is that the essence of *s rhetorical skills? Or cheneys warped vision?

My of my, the michael moore witch has been reactivated. The right always needs witches, and since they need to be very careful around anyone who actually has military or combat bona fides, the next logical step in their world is Michael Moore.

[KayLaw]

40. Goodness gracious!

That is so embarrassingly immature and . . .stupid! They remind of middle-schoolers. Someone needs a swat on the butt and a long time out in the corner.

[Renew Deal]

41. I'm sure Michael Moore is flattered

But no.
