Fox "News" is Garbage!
They just had a segment with Linda Vester. Virtually the entire audience agreed that what happened today is the fault of "past adminstrations" who didn't respond to terrorist attacks with a strong show of force.

What is that crap?? Straight outta Freeperville!

1. yet if you ask them their response to Clinton's attacks on al Qaeda
they'll say he should've used diplomacy :eyes:

they also conveniently forget the terrorists who were actually caught and convicted in the 90's


but 3 years later and it's Clinton's fault. Yeah, that makes sense :eyes:

4. living in fantasy land
Can't understand normal thinking. Why would Bush need Cheney to hold his hand while he testifies. Oh yeah not under oath either!

2. That pisses me off so much. Clinton, Clinton, Clinton
The only past administration you could possibly blame today on is Bush Sr who failed to complete the job in Iraq and left the people f*cked and did not do right by them. We screwed them. No wonder they hate us.

5. One of my guilty pleasures is watching Linda Vester...
One of my guilty pleasures is watching Linda Vester get cranky every time her hero Smirk is assailed.

7. I was talking with a friend today
who turns out to be a staunch repub, and when the 9-11 commission came up he stated flat out that Clarke was a liar and that CLinton did nothing in his 8 years.

As I pointed out the things Clinton did and even more important that it was illogical to blame CLinton for BUsh's failings (he was only in office 8 mos!! poor Bush*) he got very irate with me and told me he didnt want to talk anymore.

11. Been there!
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 01:58 PM by sampsonblk
I was told I was making things up. Why? Because "everyone knows" that Clinton did nothing at all." Five mins later, "Clinton got a BJ." At the end of the day, that's all they got for ammo. A BJ.

6. Straight out of the Nazi Playbook: Goebbels v2.0
(because v1.0 isn't subtle enough for a place like America)

Why even bother watching that crap.

If you were a German Jew, would you listen to Nazi Radio?

Cut it out, and you'll feel better.

9. They make no bones about not being objective
They are going to lie and twist the truth because they can get away with it. We could do the same thing if we had our own network to do it on. Air America is a very good start however it can only be heard on the radio and internet.

12. Well, it was * that cozied up to the Uzbeks but I still don't blame him-
I blame the terrorists first and secondly the Uzbek regime for its despotism which incites the terrorists. If there is any blame for the U.S., it would have to be Bush, though.
