Oh my.  This is from the "political videos" forum on Skins's island, where the illiterate primitives, the primitives who can't read, go.

Very good work here!

I dunno.  It looks just like ordinary television to me.

1. Methinks he won't be on Matthews anytime in the near future, or perhaps ever.

2. 10 seconds in notice Gaffney's gesture when Mathews mentions the people's "wisdom"

that is pure neo-con Straussian philosophy exhibited by Gaffney

3. I saw that too 

He looked like he had some serious contempt and disdain. That's what happens these guys think they are sooooo smart, when really they're just arrogant sociopaths who think "war first" on everything. To them people are stupid to not want war, to the rest of us normal people these guys are just nuts.

5. 4000 people had to die?

6. Great, but when will ONE SINGLE PERSON be brought up on charges?

All of these criminals will walk free, with the billions of dollars they've looted safely nestled away in offshore banks, or converted to warehouses full of gold.

Matthews shouldn't throw so many stones. Remember Chris "Codpiece" Matthews fawning over W's manly package, and swooning like a little girl over the most embarrassing, dangerous failure of president in our nation's history. Now he's all "oooh, Frank! You sold us a bill of goods!" Actually, Mr. Matthews, Frank Gaffney did his job for his bosses. Just as you are doing yours. It wasn't Frank Gaffney's job to tell you truth back then, it was your job to ask questions and investigate, not cheerlead.

Oh well. At least when Chris chooses sides, he does it with passion. He always supports the winning team.

By the way, don't anybody forget to vote for the Top 10 DUmmies of 2008.  One can vote by either commenting in the voting thread stickied to the top of this forum, or by personal message to Mr. Wiggum.  Voting closes on Monday, December 22nd.

8. Gaffney brings up the chemical and biological weapons

From day 1 I was wondering what kind of crazy loony leader would send his troops directly into battle against an enemy that we had described as having this vast array of chemical and biological weapons and a leader who we characterized as more than willing to use them. (is that confusing). In other words, according to his own rhetoric, Bush was more than willing to send our troops to certain death and an agonizing death at that.

Ergo he was totally lying or totally nuts. In either case certainly not someone to follow unquestioningly.

9. his justification is that they posed a "moral threat" to America...

It's raining irony.

They have been.  One has even met the hangman's noose and another is on his way.


Just because they aren't the people YOU want brought up on charges...doesn't mean the right people aren't being prosecuted.

I was actually watching Chris Matthews last night when this came on.  Chris Matthews was losing control of his salivary secretions talking to Mr. Gaffney and lecturing him on how he felt about the subject.

Excuse me - but aren't these supposed to be news shows that show different opinions from different people and not that of an idiot like Matthews?

I can usually stomach about 5 minutes of Hardball before I have to change it or turn the TV off.

Watched the video and it was a reminder of why I don't ever watch the show.  Chris Matthews and David Corn are both intellectual lightweights.  They're still miles ahead in intellect compared to the DUmmies, but compared to conservatives they're so far behind us intellectually that if we were to turn around to look to find them we couldn't even see them, that's how far back they are.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'm really glad to hear this. I had to sell the last of my ration of gold teeth last winter, and there doesn't seem to be much of a market for those old hairbrushes and bales of hair.  :evillaugh:

He's about to run for office...no one elses opinion matters...spittle flinging tirades like the ones that Tweety delivers on Screwball are just him prepping his stump speech.
