<p>I really don’t know how you’re going to make it until January, 2009.</p>
<p>
I really hate these tit-for-tat posts, but if I don’t do it, who will? So…Weenie…what was it in your cut-and-paste of entertainment critic/world affairs expert Frank Rich that I missed? I’m specifically looking for the part that refuted the Swift Boat vets.</p>
<p>driver, haven’t you learned yet. It has been decreed by the left that the swift boat veterens have been discredited. Just like “Bush lied … People died”. Facts are irrelevant once a decree has been made.</p>
<p>They don’t need no stinkin’ facts.</p>
<p>Well, thankfully she is leaving now so I guess REI is disappointed as their sales of camping equipment will drop, she’s now going on a 25 state tour.</p>
<p>Typical right wing responses…you can’t justify this waste of human life so you attack the people who disagree with this less than adequate president. Probably not for the last time I will remind you that:
a) we never found any weapons of mass destruction that the Bush Administration sold the nation on…
b) People who claimed there was no immediate threat of wmds were harrassed, driven from their jobs and had family members exposed to danger sometimes by treason… as in releasing the name of an American spy
c) the Iraq government was not the source of the 911 bombings but through Bush administration inuendos a number of people were fooled into thinking there is…
d)It is tragic that American soldiers have been put in this situation by this administration which puts profit over lives.
e)The president continues to use this war and the deaths of soldiers to prop up his agenda
f)More and more people are seeing through his lies and as your cadre shrinks you seem to act more desperate - lashing out at everyone and anyone even the mothers of fallen soldiers.</p>
<p>Typical left wing responses: You generalize about an entire group of people. Didn’t bother to read your post because I’ve got to run, but I’ll check back later.</p>
<p>Speaking of lies…seems David Duke’s favorite war protestor and your hero has a bit of a problem with making things up. Your hero has thanked U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel for calling her offering words of support and Senator Hagel says that he never called her and never would. Walter Jones say the same thing. Your hero’s nose is growing!</p>
<p>Sorry but Duke has your brand all over him…the Klan is in the history of the Democrats and the future for the Republican party.</p>
<p>Cindy Sheehan will gain strength as she approaches Washington.</p>
<p>Yes she will, and as awful as this sounds, when the realization that so many of our resources- people, equiptment, money have gone to Iraq, not to our own people and to protecting the Homeland, I think more people will get angry and listen to people that are against this war</p>
<p>I for one would like to see Cindy Sheehan “pass the baton” to a more credible spokesman/woman. Her extreme politics is getting in the way of her message—that message being (or should be) that we need a specific and viable exit plan out of Iraq, and that we must set a target date for withdrawl. </p>
<p>What I find puzzling is that congressional Democrats aren’t very enthusiasticlly taking the President to task over this issue, and that they aren’t more out-front in the anti-war movement in general. What do they know that I don’t know? Where do Hilary Clinton and Howard Dean, et al stand on this issue? Am I just not listening, or are they strangely quiet on the subject of Iraq?</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, any Democrat to the right of John Conyers or
Sheila Jackson Lee won’t get anywhere near her. She’s a loose cannon who plays fast and loose with the facts…just like the rest of the loony left. She seems to make stuff up as she goes along. For the most part, though, she’s gone now. Her financial supporters finally realized that maybe she’s not the best spokesman for those who oppose the war. She’s been marginalized…kind of like the way Howard Dean was and is.</p>
<p>As for David Duke and the Klan…we have one and only one member of the Senate who was in the Klan. Robert Byrd’s his name. What party is he a member of?</p>
<p>When it comes to discussing facts and opinions, you seem really good a name calling. I wonder why they don’t use that tactic in Speech and Debate contests?</p>
<p>Why do you think we are in this war with this country besides the Presidents most recent admission…oil…</p>
<p>Oh Yeah, when we said he talked about oil being the reason we are at war, that was ignored,interesting</p>
<p>When it was discussed ages ago that many people thought we were at war because of oil, we were laughed at, yet now, it is simply ignored</p>
<p>Once again, CGM, go back and read the various posts. It was not igored. The only ignoring that seems to be going on is by you.</p>
<p>Maybe I’m mistaken, but it seems to me that someone else here brought up the Klan…so to follow up on your Klan comment, I pointed out a FACT. Facts are stubborn things, aren’t they? Good old U.S. Senator Robert Byrd is the only member of the U.S. Senate that liked wearing sheets. Last time I looked he was a Democrat. I think that’s a FACT. I think it’s a FACT too that no Democrats to the right of John Conyers and Sheila Jackson Lee have visited your hero.</p>
<p>I also think it’s a FACT that Senator Hagel said that your hero wasn’t being truthful when she said that he called her to offer words of support. Lots of FACTS here.</p>
<p>Ah, but not only was Robert Byrd in the Klan, he was a KLEAGLE!!! For those not familiar with the Klan this is the head of a Klavern, a regional office which recruits other impressionable young racists, quite an impressive leadership position indeed; reserved for the most accomplished racists! (I did a term paper on the urban influence of the Klan in my sophomore year so don’t jump all over me for my extensive knowledge haha)</p>
<p>As I clearly pointed out, the Klan is a shameful part of the southern Democrat’s history, and apparently it was absorbed into the Republican party as part of their southern strategy. Remember how the use of the Confederate flag as a symbol helped the republicans gain a few seats. It is hard to get into bed with oral roberts and not find a klan sheet somewhere.</p>
<p>The Republicans repudiate people like David Duke who try to claim membership. The Democrats proudly run their racists for president as part of their being the party of inclusion.</p>
<p>Isn’t the Confederate Flag still flown with pride someplaces? </p>
<p>Yes, Democrats have some members we are not proud of, who were members of groups that were horrid</p>
<p>As well, the parties “character”- Repulbicans and Democrats have changed of the last century and a half- Democrats of today and Replublicans of today are not the same as those of yesterday, the labels are different from in the 1800’s</p>
<p>So, do you claim that all republican members of Congress and the Senate have never been racists? </p>
<p>What the heck was the War Between the States anyway?</p>
