C-Span's fav Security "Expert" is on- again. Seems like C-Span can't
get enough of those "pearls of wisdom" that spill from the lips of Frank Gaffney. He's on with the usual lies and fear mongering. You know the drill. Iran wants to obliterate Israel. Now he's into "Iran wants a world without the U.S.".

Gaffney is the worst of the worst and he's on C-Span over and over again, agitating for war.

He's the point man obfuscating for Cheney. Fugg him.

8. And this proves
that C-Span is not impartial. C-Span just does a better job of hiding their right wing slant. This naturally gives their brand of propaganda greater validity. I wrote to tell them as much just the other day. Not that they will change.

3. I'm surprised that they managed to fit him in
between their uncontested broadcasts of speeches at the Heritage Foundation, conferences at the Cato Institute, and round-table discussions at the AEI.

4. We quickly switched the channel. As my husband remarked,
they should never have the guy on unless there's someone to contradict his lies. This guy is the king of making up facts.

7. He is a very effective propagandist.
He is still telling us how great the Iraq War is. He is telling us how dangerous Saddam would have been if we had not taken him out "in the nick of time". Unbelievable. What a complete asshole.

9. Who made Gaffney a security expert? Why Frannk Gaffney did!
Start a thinky tank and name yourself head whatever and if you are right wing the media beats down your door.

10. Gaffney Is A War Criminal
A major propagandist for the neo-cons and as a bold-faced liar as they come. He's one of the reason 5,000 American soldiers died in vain and thousands of veterans will fight the effects of that quagmire for the rest of their lives...not to count the thousands of Iraqis and others who were victims of his dreams of empire.

C-SPIN is notorious for giving these right wing hacks unfettered access...especially when my "buddy" Steve Skully (Jeff Gunkert's patron) is hosting. The AEI has its offices in the same building as C-SPIN...and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a direct line to Brian Lamb's office. Remember, this is the network that made Gnewt famous...and is where the GOOP has long dropped their talking points that get picked up on hate radio throughout the day.

Cheers...
