O'Reilly's losing it and Snow smacks down Republic party

O’Reilly and Snow had an interesting conversation the other night

O’Reilly Lets Loose: Says WH Reporters Need To Be ‘Wiped Out,’ Calls CNN ‘The Pagan Throne’

Even the good folks at Think Progress missed the real story in this O’Reilly/Snow exchange. Now that Tony is no longer the Bush bunches’ talking head he took a major shot at the Republic party.

“SNOW: You know, again, I’ll have to figure it out. I’m more interested right now talking about things that I think are important . In many ways, the Republican party’s falling off the rails. It’s forgotten about.

O’REILLY: Tell me about it.

SNOW: It’s forget about fiscal discipline. It’s forgotten about the importance of liberty.”

Tony it’s about time you came to your senses…but just like Colin Powell before you, you should have spoken up when you were there instead of playing “Bush’s Baghdad Bob” for 3 years

 

We have forgotten who we are supossed to be - The Good Guys

The Washington Post’s Petula Dvorak, has a great story on the WWII Vets who interrogated the Nazi prisoners at Fort Hunt.

"We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or Ping-Pong than they do today, with their torture," said Henry Kolm, 90, an MIT physicist who had been assigned to play chess in Germany with Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess.

These are true men of character:

Several of the veterans, all men in their 80s and 90s, denounced the controversial techniques. And when the time came for them to accept honors from the Army's Freedom Team Salute, one veteran refused, citing his opposition to the war in Iraq and procedures that have been used at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

….

When Peter Weiss, 82, went up to receive his award, he commandeered the microphone and gave his piece.

"I am deeply honored to be here, but I want to make it clear that my presence here is not in support of the current war," said Weiss, chairman of the Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy and a human rights and trademark lawyer in New York City.

If we had any doubt why they are called “The Greatest Generation”…………

G.O.P. Contenders Endorse Health Insurance Veto

The New York Times pins the Republic party candidates down on SCHIP

“The four leading Republican presidential candidates have aligned themselves with President Bush’s veto on Wednesday of an expanded health insurance program for children, once again testing the political risk of appearing in lock step with a president who has low approval ratings and some critics of the veto within their party.”

Someone get video, because the flopping will start the day after the nomination is sewn up.

A pictures is worth a thousand words

Or in this case a comic strip

The Boss Kicks Some Ass

Bruce Springsteen Unpatriotic? The Boss Kicks Some Ass

“Rocker Bruce Springsteen answers critics who call his anti-war sentiments unpatriotic by saying the real sin against patriotism is saying nothing while your country is being harmed.”

 

Don’t take any shit Bruce !!!

The lies keep coming

Yesterday they said it just wasn't true, there were no secret opinions on tortures use......today it's well yes but..........White House denies relaxing ban on torture - Secret 2005 opinion is confirmed, but Justice insists earlier one still valid

When willl it end..............

The man is an Idiot

The State Children's Health Care Insurance Program (SCHIP) is a successful federal-state partnership that currently provides health insurance to about 6 million children whose parents make too much to qualify for health coverage under Medicaid, yet cannot afford private insurance.

Both the House and the Senate recently voted to expand the program's eligibility requirements and cover an additional 5.8 million kids; the expansion will be paid for by raising cigarette taxes.

Yesterday, President Bush vetoed this legislation.

Who's going to side with sick children to help override Bush's veto and obtain health insurance coverage for millions of kids?

Use this form to tell your rep in Congress - vote to expand SCHIP.

Or this form.

This must be a major issue in ’08, we need to get to get the Republic candidates on the record…Now, while they are sucking up to the neo-fascist base.

Just in case you had any doubts

Project for the Old American Century

"Does a fantastic job of showing just how far down the road of "Fascism" this administration has taken us these past 7 years.

It's not pretty when you think about it.

Anne Yaps Again

So my least favorite right wing zealot strikes again:

Ann Yaps

“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

“It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and ‘We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care — and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?’”

Anne Coulter should be a permanent fixture in Democratic ads in ‘08
