What Did They Know and When Did They Know It?

<p>Itstoomuch,</p>

<p>Chocolate covered prunes? I like chocolate but that sounds awful. Have you ever eaten one?</p>

82

<p>In reality the entire “scandal” doesn’t amount to a row of beans.</p>

<p>Let us label this LIB MEDIA HISSY FIT #137, since Bush was originally elected</p>

<p>There have been so many I don’t have an exact count</p>

83

<p>Well, we’ll soon have Speaker Pelosi’s hearings, and the additional indictments won’t be far behind.</p>

<p>It’s good to see Mr. Sleaze and the Wrestler out on the election circuit convincing all those undecideds.</p>

<p>Sigh … Howard Dean calling republicans “evil” is just “politics” and Mallory being on Air America until a month ago (but is planning a return to the air waves soon) is proof that there is no market for lefty hate. OK, lets get to Randi Rhodes. Here is what one of your fellow leftys says about her:

85

<p>I am no liberal, and no Democrat. I am an “unabashed lefty”, and I’ve never heard of Randi Rhodes.</p>

<p>Maybe I’ll have to listen and check back in. (My guys and girls are on Pacifica.)</p>

<p>I’m not too fond of the poor drug addict and the rest of the hate America crowd. (Love Ann Coulter though, and the way she soaks the hate America crowd for money. I think she should get on the stump with Mr. Sleaze and the Wrestler.)</p>

<p>liz: I referred in my post to NPR - National Public RADIO, not PBS - The Public Broadcasting System (television). Why does the NEWSHOUR with Jim Lehrer, which is a television show, relate to what I said? Sometimes I think liberals on here need a course in READING COMPREHENSION.</p>

87

<p>HH- what does “liberal” mean to you, exactly, you throw that word around alot, calling them hateful, etc., please tell me what you think liberal and conservative mean</p>

<p>I do realize there is the economic conservative, the social conservative, the political conservative, and there are differences</p>

<p>So tell, me, specifically, what you find about “liberals” you find so reprensible</p>

88

<p>My apologies HH. I am the one who lumps them together. I see them as not for profit companies that generally attempt to get at the truth in the news. Quite frankly the “righties” have criticized the News Hour with the same critique you have of NPR.</p>

89

<p>let us see, on NPR, I hear interviews with bird watchers, music makers, historians, I learn about sound, the ocean, the moon, the environment, politics, health, dinosaurs, cars, I hear American stories, jazz players, I hear speechs, </p>

<p>Yeah, that darn NPR for giving us what no one else does- why just this week, I learned about chlorine in my drinking water- from all sides- what a horrid thing to listen to- it being all balanced and all like it was</p>

<p>guess we should model everyhting after Fox, who can’t even tell the difference between an D and R</p>

90

<p>Frankly, I didn’t stoop to using the term “liberal” (readily identified with Ann Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.) until the last few days when I ran up against kluge. A liberal = kluge.</p>

<p>cgm: Your probably missed in reading my post that I was a daily listener of NPR for YEARS. It’s more than what you state–please.</p>

<p>No need to apologize, liz, just that NPR radio encompasses a lot more than one tv show does.</p>

91

<p>CGM: I just realized you said that I called liberals “hateful.” WHERE did *I ever say that? Can you even READ and comprehend the differences between various posters? Please quote where I said liberals were hateful. Is it easier for you to come up against me than, say, driver? Actually, on another thread people (including you) called ME hateful because I am against gay marriage. </p>

<p>Join kluge in the intellectual dishonesty category, cgm. Why do I waste my time on here?</p>

92

<p>I am sorry if I’m interrupting this love fest. But I noted someone posted an example of posts from another news forum:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The US has removed troops but the removal has more frequently amounted to a troop reduction. For example: we have sizeable numbers of troops in Japan, Germany, Cuba, and Korea. We may have others in other countries that don’t come to mind now. But certainly we have a history that doesn’t make it out of the realm of possibility that we could maintain a military presence in Iraq for a while.</p>

<p>Now back to your fighting.</p>

93

<p>Hereshoping, let’s start at the beginning: No reasonable person would have interpreted what I wrote earlier as claiming that Coulter, Savage, or Limbaugh were “THE voice of conservatism”. However, you did, and accused me of being “intellectually dishonest”. I was, of course, responding to SJMom’s post in which she stated:

I could have pointed out that the whiney, self-pitying righties who post about how mean and illogical liberals are would only find them to be “nice” and “logical” if they agreed with them. There are plenty of conservatives who post on CC who engage in spirited and fair debate of contemporary issues. They just aren’t among the ones that are doing the whining. I pointed out that the “radio talk show voices” who “echo what conservatives feel” included the likes of Savage, Coulter and Limbaugh - who I consider to be angry and unreasonable people - the very traits SJMom ascribed to those nasty liberals. I backed that up with examples of actual statements those three had made. You could have acknowledged that very real fact.</p>

<p>But that would have taken intellectual honesty, wouldn’t it?</p>

94

<p>Ann Coulter doesn’t have a radio show.</p>

95

<p>YOU were the first person on this thread to introduce the names Coulter, Limbaugh and Savage #55. I have never heard you mention a conservative commentator or writer other than those three or those on Fox. You also deliberately misconstrued my friendly post about lucianne.com.
I won’t call you intellectually dishonest anymore, kluge. The way I think of you is sort of NFFP.</p>

96

<p>Let’s talk about the chocolate covered prunes.</p>

97

<p>Driver: I stand corrected. Have a prune. With or without chocolate. DRJ4’s buying.</p>

98

<p>Well, okay, I’ll buy one round … but I’m not doing any clean-up.</p>

99

<p>“—Zoosermom’s posts on the subject referred to. Don’t you just hate it when people “lie about you” by quoting your own words?”</p>

<p>If you read the quote you posted, you can see the lie quite clearly. “Having” emails is not the same as assigning fault. I never, ever said the scandal was the democrats’ fault. BUt what is it with you Kluge? Even when I don’t post on a thread you have to harass and bully me. Whence the obsession?</p>

<p>Hmmmm. Curiouser and curiouser. I wonder where this will all end up.</p>
