Did anyone see Scott Ritter on C-span today?
Some Biatch from Kansas called. Oh she sounded so sweet.

She thanked them for taking her call etc. and then asks this:

Paraphrase

Scott I am suprised Cspan has you on today because I read in the paper that you were arrested for child pornography and taking money from Iraq!

He answered her fully and didn't seem ruffled, but boy I felt bad for him. He says the charges were dismissed re child pornography and that he never ever took money from iraq.

1. He handled it pretty well
The callers parroting right-wing talking points became rather absurd as they continued to raise smears already addressed.

2. Yes. I KNEW one of those nasty, vile, disgusting
pieces of shit repukes would ask that question. It was debunked and THEY KNOW IT! It's a classic from their playbook. Throw it out there and talk about it all the time, people will believe. She knew better. She knew it wasn't true...damn wench.:grr: I'm sure Scott expects that question every time he has to answer any questions from repukes. What a disgusting lot.:grr:

3. there was another individual who also asked him why he
took money from the Iraqi regime? Said it in a very snarky way. Ritter is one smooth cat, these question don't phase him one bit.

5. and you could explain and explain the truth to these wingut fruitcakes
but they are just.not.interested.

She was something else. The good new though is that I added Ritter's new book to my Christmas Wish List!!!

Iraq Confidential: The Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Hussein (Hardcover) Foreward by Seymor Hersh


Book Description
Scott Ritter is the straight-talking former marine officer who the CIA wants to silence. After the 1991 Gulf War, Ritter helped lead the UN weapons inspections of Iraq and found himself at the center of a dangerous game between the Iraqi and US regimes.

As Ritter reveals in this explosive book, Washington was only interested in disarmament as a tool for its own agenda. Operating in a fog of espionage and counter-espionage, Ritter and his team were determined to find out the truth about Iraq’s WMD. The CIA were equally determined to stop them. The truth, as we now know, was that Iraq was playing a deadly game of double-bluff, and actually had no WMD. But to have revealed this would have derailed America’s drive for regime change.

Iraq Confidential charts the disillusionment of a staunch patriot who came to realize that his own government sought to undermine effective arms control in the Middle East. Ritter shows us a world of deceit and betrayal in which nothing is as it seems. A host of characters from Mossad, MI6 and the CIA pepper this powerful narrative, which contains revelations that will permanently affect the ongoing debates about Iraq.

9. Ad Hominem .....
"An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin, literally "argument to the man") or attacking the messenger, is a logical fallacy that involves replying to an argument or assertion by attacking the person presenting the argument or assertion rather than the argument itself." -snip- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

I remember one of the most useful classes I ever took in College was a Logic class. I now require all Republicans to show some form of 'Logic Class' certification before I even begin to discuss anything with them now-a-days. :rofl: Peace.

10. He was prepared for these morans
He handled them calmly and succinctly. He is a true American hero, and it was great to listen to the other callers who praised him as such.

11. He was like a junk yard dog and
loaded with facts. I thought he blew every one of those idiots who had the courage to call (because most of them wanted nothing to do with tangling with him) out of the water.
