She is a joke - the GOP is doing us so many favors by continuing to endorse their appearances it isn't even funny. MORE!!!! MORE!!!!

1. the more I see this tag-teaming, the more I think Cheney wants his daughter to run for President

let's see how this plays out

[IntravenousDemilo]

20. Mary Cheney would be a much more inspired choice to run for President.

And an even more inspired choice would be neither.

[butterfly77]

26. NOOOOO!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

go away cheney's they are all over the government in every area. By the way,where's lynne?Isn't it about time for her to make an appearance?

[IntravenousDemilo]

28. Ah, but try to imagine...

Jeb Bush / Liz or Mary Cheney for the Republicans in 2012. If it were possible for a party to get NEGATIVE electoral votes, that would be the ticket. Obama would win 1,800 votes in the Electoral College, and carry all 50 states plus a bunch of states from parallel universes, some of them multiple times. In fact, the Democratic Party would get so many votes, they might carry the excess over to 2016.

2. Cooper cuts her argument to shreds with just a few facts

funny how the rest of the media doesn't seem able to arm themselves against her.

[Crowman1979]

3. Where the f*** does she come off saying that she should be asked such and such questions?

This ain't an interview with Joe the Plumber or Jeff Gannon Liz!

[tabatha]

4. She is a BSing b**.

[bluedeminredstate]

5. Why is this woman being given airtime?

What makes her an expert beyond the fact that she's Cheney's daughter and obviously will defend him no matter what? Cheney should have to answer for himself and the "news" programs should ignore Liz Cheney. Why not have Jenna Bush out there telling us what a smart, competent man her father is?

:grr:

[Creationismsucks]

6. What qualifies her to speak?

Nothing. What the FUCK is going on here? WHO at CNN decides that SHE knows ANYTHING that the rest of us don't?

Cheney is OUT OF FUCKING OFFICE. Enough with the Tokyo Rose impression, media.

Prosecute these scumbags for the war criminals they so transparently are.

[trthnd4jstc]

29. Question: What Qualifies Her? Answer: She is a good Liar! n/t

[newmac]

7. We don't care if he is your daddy. America said NO to bush and cheney

We rejected all this filth. We don't allow cops to waterboard white American suspects; why should muslim suspects not have due process and fair treatment as well. If they are proved guilty; then they can be duly punished severely.

8. At least she calls him

"my dad" and not "the vicepresident" as she did last week. That was... weird.

[Creationismsucks]

9. ENOUGH: I am hereby turning a page and donning my tinfoil hat.

This happens toooooooo much. Every media outlet has this choir of fascist goon cheney apologists on, in the name of "balance". Then there's Fox, who has on "liberals" you've never heard of, genetically engineered to be weak enough that they can be beaten and shouted down.

As of this moment I no longer believe it's just an overwhelming social trend that only *looks* deliberately slanted to the right.

Someone is deliberately kepping the media this way. It's sheer propaganda. Someone is behind it.

10. conflict sells - and they are in business for money

It isn't like news used to be - now it is about ratings and trumping another station and getting someone controversial to say something controversial. It is like a car wreck, people of the highest degree of moral sensibilities will still have this terrible urge to look and see... human nature I guess.

But I do believe this actually serves to unite Democrats and others around Obama and if it serves that purpose, I certainly want Cheney and Liz on every channel. With every annoying, screechy blast of nonsense they spout, I'll hear souls of Independents turning into Democrats - and happily know that the youth of our country will be slipping even further out of the GOP's grasp.

[CLANG]

11. She has her moms voice - blyech!

Isn't she a fine little Nazi?

[PatSeg]

23. And she looks like her dad!

Minus the sneer.

[thunder rising]

12. She and Daddy are the point team for the CIA coup.

I fear the CIA ... like they will let Americans die to ensure Obama fails.

[RandomThoughts]

22. Your statement is an illusion to claim power.

If they can create an image they have some pull somewhere, and create a boogeyman to scare people. Then some will crumble under the illusions of fear.

Why would you think anyone would support Cheney anywhere when his defense of his actions only makes America more unsafe by making people around the world believe many Americans support his actions.

Just like his use of terrible actions made America less safe, his claim that they may be needed in the future, or were justified, continues to make America less safe.

Why does Cheney make the claims? Because that's what people like that do, they want people scared, and want bad things to happen, to keep people fighting and more bad things happening, to keep more people scared.

Can you believe, after both the consequences and the actions in Abu Grabi, a place that was specifically Gitmoized by sending the commander of Gitmo there, after all that, there are people saying it is needed?

It is insanity.

America is better then that.

13. Argghhh ticking time bomb after 183 times the bomb has detonated. >

There are wiser and more intelligent methods than what is in the end thuggery.

[cooolandrew]

14. He wants to tell his side sure under oath to a special prosecuter maybe. (nt)

[cooolandrew]

15. Wanda Sykes ".. but look at all the bills I paid"

[Necon-Be-Gone]

16. Absolute Failure

When the only person willing to defend you, is your daughter.

[bulloney]

17. What makes this dumb bitch an expert on this issue of torture and national security?

I'm a distant relative of the Harbaughs. Ask me about the Baltimore Ravens and the Stanford Cardinal football teams. My responses will probably be worthless, but, using the Cheneys' logic, you have to believe everything I say.

What's even more maddening is that the MSM gerbils give this twit and her sadistic father any credibility.

[Politicalboi]

30. She worked for Daddy and Bush

18. Dear Liz and Dick...

No one in the Obama administration has LIBELed anyone. They may have SLANDERED your father, but they did not LIBEL him.

Dick needs to know the difference too.

Your TORTURED use of the English language is offensive to my ears. But, given your family's predilections, not surprising.

[Hulk]

19. This spawn of darth is one evil bitch!!

All she is doing is helping Satan spread his deceit and lies. He knows the justice system is closing in on his criminal ass...and he doesn't want to spend the last few precious days of his sinister life being a whore for some big burly ape behind bars.

This bitch needs to be slapped and sent on her way. I'm ...again....disappointed with cooper for not holding her feet to the fire. When is this bitch going to go on the Rachel Maddow Show, or the Ed Show, or the Keith Olberman Show, or the David Schuster program?? Instead, she hides behind the propaganda network and these spineless hosts so she can spew her garbage...unchallenged.

She is "absolutely" full of shit up to her eyeballs....just like the old man.

[Turborama]

21. I have to say I was dissapointed to hear AC was going to take her on by himself, but

...all in all he did a good job getting the main points across, IMO.

:kick: & R

[libodem]

24. Oh, come on

Who is the confabulating liar? Her world view is certainly narrow. She only see what she wants to see. Half truths and lots of fiction. Liz, fuck off and die.

[butterfly77]

25. Cheney is really scared...

he has his daughter all over teevee.We don't care.

[RoccoR5955]

27. When the heck did SHE, of all people become an authority?!?!?!

ON ANYTHING?!?!?!?!?!
Since Faux News anointed her?
Give me a break.

[pacalo]

31. In the last few minutes of the video, she confirms the notion that the GOP

is trying to take the focus off the "torture" issue & turn it into one argument against "waterboarding". She dismissed Anderson's point about 100 detainee murders, 20 ruled as homicides, by calling it "irresponsible" (like, 'let's get back on subject').

Just because the use of torture was exposed at Abu Ghraib doesn't mean it was an isolated incident, as she claimed it to be. The focus shouldn't be exclusively on waterboarding -- it should be on all torture procedures. The media is being too generous to these black sheep.

[provis99]

32. "enhanced interrogation" - even the term was invented by the Nazis.

"Verschärfte Vernehmung". Invented by Nazi Gestapo. These Republicans don't even try to hide their Nazi-love. Fine. Let the Republican leadership be dealt with as we dealt with the Nazi leaders at Nuremberg.

[goforit]

33. Dick only has his baby daughter to protect him. He's never been man enough to stand alone.
