Lou Dobbs just fucked up the WaPo blog shutdown story
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 06:53 PM by tgnyc
Did the old "Abramoff AND HIS CLIENTS donated to Democrats..." bullshit again. And was indignant about it, too. "Don't blog me! That's the fact!" he insisted.

1. I admire his maverick streak but
Ol' Lou wouldn't know a fact if it came up to him, tapped him on the shoulder, licked his ear and then bit him on his big affluent ass.

2. By using "and" he's saying that Abramoff donated to Democrats himself
cleary false reporting. Blog away, I say!

3. So now it's "Abramoff AND HIS CLIENTS".
So this is the new GOP spin I see.
Lou Dobbs(GOP Shill) should know that several of Abramoff's CLIENTS were also screwed by Jack himself.

!This is a REPUBLICAN SCANDAL!

13. I wasn't paying enough attention to Lou tonight, but on most of the
other shows I've seen, the statement is "Democrats also took money from Abramoff OR his clients
The Dems have never denied that they accepted $$ from the Indian tribes. They've been donating to the Dems for years!

What I've heard is that after Abranoff took over, the tribes donated LESS to the Dems because Jack told them they had to join with him to make sure they got what they wanted!

All these arguments are splitting straws! NO Dem took $$ from Abramoff, and I'm reasonably sure that's true. They DID take $$ from the tribes and THEY were clients of Abramoff.

The problem is that it takes too much time to explain this, so all the media plays is the connected "Abramoff or his clients" story!

We need to keep defending the truth and the difference in the facts, but I suspect the only thing that's going to actually resonate with the public is who gets indicted!

5. "Bank and its clients murder people"
Is a bank reponsible if an account holder goes out and kills somebody?

6. He's a dimwit, but it does prove my theory.
Dem politicians simply MUST stop doing anything that can/could/will be used to justify republican excesses..

the media we have simply does not understand comparison.. They see a piece of cake, as equal to a whole cake.

The media we don;t havem would take some time to show exactly how much this one got and that one, and then display it in graph form..and compare toi previous years' amounts..but you just can't do that in a 10 second sound byte

16. Not at all..
We just need some unity like the repubes seem to always have.. When a BUNCH of dems show up and have something to say, they dO get coverage.. BUt when Donna Brazile or BOb Shrum or paul Begala show up and "pretend-debate" and do the shucking & jiving routine with their "republican counterpart", we get NOWHERE.

If these shows were totally deprived of the DINOs who are needed to get whacked every day, these shows would soon lose whatever audience they have.. Repubes can watch 24-7 dem-bashing over on Fox..CNN & MSRNC need to lose more of whatever audience they still have, and maybe then they will see they need to be the counter-Fox..not an insipid clone..

the dems we have now (with few exceptions) are just enablers..entertainers.

8. Lulu loves to blame the victims, it seems. How truthful of him.
Lou, pay attention. The tribes were ripped off for tens of millions of dollars by Abramoff and Scanlon. NO MONEY went from Abramoff to the tribes to Democrats. NO MONEY went from Abramoff to the tribes. It ALL went FROM the tribes TO Abramoff for services he never rendered. HE. RIPPED. THEM. OFF. He called them "troglodytes." He despised them. They were his VICTIMS. Sheesh, buy a clue.

This ain't hard to figure out. Maybe it's time to retire, Louie.

10. I've got the way we
can instruct the media to report who got what--republicans or democrats Which will be 100% accurate and would even hold up in the World Court.

Let's just refer to those referred to in the legal indictment already. Are they republicans or are they democrats? Hmmmm ?

11. Does anyone have a transcript?
I'll be sure to put it up on my blog. There's enough proof here on DU for a rebuttal. Thanks.
