WTF! - CHENEY Has To Lie -Because Otherwise We Are All Going To "Look Super In A Burka"

'You're going to look super in a burka'

There was a fascinating example of far-right ideology on "Hardball" yesterday, when Chris Matthews asked Melanie Morgan -- unhinged, even by contemporary far-right standards -- to respond to how right Dick Cheney was about Iraq before he became Vice President. C&L has an excerpt, http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/08/17/melanie-morgan-youre-going-to-look-super-in-a-burka/ which is worth watching, if for no other reason because Morgan helped highlight a twisted worldview for a national television audience.

After Matthews asked Morgan to explain why 1994 Cheney was right while 2002 Cheney was wrong, Morgan refused to engage and suggested Iraq was somehow involved with 9/11. She also attacked the host for bringing up the subject.

Matthews then asked Naomi Wolf to weigh in.

Wolf: It gets back to what I was saying earlier about the nature of lying. Let's not forget that they got us into this war on the basis of a series of lies.... This weaving out of lies was a pretext for an invasion that served their own political purposes. In the wake of the invasion, they were able to terrify the American people, subjugate the American people, drive through a series of laws that dismantled key checks and balances, allowed overreaching executive power, and completely eviscerated what the founders set in place, thus weakening America.

Morgan: Keep attacking, keep attacking Naomi, because you're going to look great in a burka. You're going to look super in a burka.

Perfect. Wolf makes a substantive point about American laws, institutions, and traditions, so Morgan insists Wolf's criticism will lead to radical Muslims seizing control of the United States, forcing women into burkas. This, in effect, encapsulates too much of the left-right debate of the last eight months.

1. Somebody mentioned her a day or so back

I didn't have clue who she was and had to google her - if you'll kindly pardon the expression. She looked like she'd need a wigwam not a burka so she didn't use a very good example anyway apart from which if you converted her into bio it would run an 8 wheeler for at least a week non stop driving.

2. They really believe this, amazing as it seems. We are apparently

"this close" to being enslaved, forced to live under Sharia Law and wear burkas

3. That's funny

The radical Muslims can't control Iraq but they are going to seize control of the US and put us in burkas.

I'd love to put Mrgan in a burka. It might muffle the sound of her shrill, voice.

4. Is morgan trying to drive people away from the right? Naomi effin knocked it outta the park.

Seriously, who would listen to the batty hate-filled bullshit and say, "I wanna be a part of that!"


I usually don't catch Matthews, and I've only seen Naomi once, and she was good but not perfect. However she just kills it in that clip. Excellent. Craig Crawford looks blown away by what she's saying when the three-person shot is on, while morgan looks like she knows she's beat. And damn, she was.
