Dems Favorite Halloween Costume: Patriot- Page 2

Four weeks before U.S. troops completely vanquished the Taliban, Kim Jong Il's pal, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, said on CNN's "Capital Gang" that the Taliban would not soon be toppled. He cited his experience with the Taliban, saying: "I think they can hold on for a while. They were very resilient."

Howard Dean joined Michael Moore in arguing that Osama bin Laden was innocent until proved guilty.

Except for a few idiots like Biden, Richardson and Dean, most politicians -- who have to run for election -- duly voted in favor of the war in Afghanistan and let their mouthpieces in the media bash it for them. (Remember: A lot of them voted for war in Iraq, too.)

Democrats who would not have to face voters -- we call them "reporters" -- were calling Afghanistan a "quagmire" approximately six minutes after we invaded.

Thomas Ricks, the Washington Post reporter who currently has a book out saying the war in Iraq is not succeeding, also said the war in Afghanistan was not succeeding.

On Oct. 27, 2001, Ricks said this about Afghanistan -- not Iraq: "Although there is little evidence -- yet -- that the U.S. approach is succeeding, officials at the Pentagon and the White House said yesterday that they are sticking with their original strategy."

Our boys had taken Kabul before Ricks' article hit the recycling bin.

Dakin I hate to poinr this out, but "innocent until proven guilty" is a cornerstone of American democracy. It's not Howard Dean or Michael More's idea- it was the Constitutional Congress who came up with that whacko moonbat theory!

The media gave us gleeful reports on friendly fire incidents in Afghanistan, incessant body counts, numbers of civilian dead and polls showing that the rest of world hated us. Christiane Amanpour reported on CNN in February 2002 that "77 percent of those (Muslims) interviewed said the U.S. war in Afghanistan was morally unjustifiable." The Muslim world hates us -- because of the war Democrats claim to support.

In an Oct. 27, 2001, column titled "How to Lose a War," New York Times columnist Frank Rich wrote that the Taliban "are proving Viet Cong-like in their intractability." He stated categorically that "we're losing that battle for Afghan hearts and minds" -- proving Rich to be as competent a military analyst as any longtime New York Times theater critic could reasonably be expected to be.

Say, when is the Times going to hire generals to review the latest Broadway offerings? I think more people would like to read Tommy Franks' review of "Rent" than Frank Rich's review of a war.

Times columnist Maureen Dowd, more macho than Rich, asked: "Are we quagmiring ourselves again?" Apparently so. She cited Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem's denial that we were getting bogged down in Afghanistan as "a sure sign we're getting bogged down."

In October 2001, on ABC News' "World News Tonight," anchor Peter Jennings asked Gen. Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan: "Do you believe that the United States is possibly facing a quagmire in Afghanistan?"

The first time liberals had a kind word for the war in Afghanistan was when they needed to pretend to support some war in order to attack the war in Iraq with greater vigor. To get them to support the Iraq war, all we have to do is attack Iran.

So we can't talk about it? We can't wonder if we're doing the right thing? We can't ask how the war is going? Frankly there are a lot of contrary reports out of Afghanistan-- kind of like how there are contrary views of the American economy, say. We can't investigate? We can't ask questions? Is everything Black or white with you (and the anonymous right wingers you cut and paste from)?

Also- You cite a column from 2001, a news report from 2002, a question from 2001-- the most recent thing you're outraged about is from 4 years ago. Are you STILL mad that Peter Jennings DARED to ask someone their opinion 5 years ago? Get over it baby! This is supposedly a free country- He can ask the Queen of England what's in her purse if he wants.

You do realize that this is a governemnt of, by and for the people? The army is acting on our behalf-- yours, mine, Colin Powell's. It's our duty to be informed. I don't understand how asking questions can be construed as treasonous or stupid. Were you this incurious when Bill Clinton said "I have not had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky"? Did you say "Oh, OK Bill, that clears that up!"

Off topic question: If the abbreviation of Liberals is “Libs,” would the abbreviation of Conservatives be “Cons”?

Dakin, I hope you have your list of future screen names picked out. Something tells me you'll need yet another new identity before too long. Theres no talking or debating with you. All you want to do is disrupt,bully,and mock those who don't agree with you. You'll overstep yourself, as you always do,pick a new name and continue.I wish you'd go to a liberal website and post. They'd eat you alive. What a coward you must be to have to hide on a Broadway Message board to regurgitate ditto spew. What would your Republican friends think?

I have only ever had one name here. The fact that you choose to believe the deranged theories of gossip hounds and board stalkers is not my problem.

Thanks Ann for all you are doing for America!

Dakin I take it as a supreme compliment that you no longer even try to reply to my questions, comments and corrections. I can only assume that like so many conservatives (Including your beloved Ann) real facts leave you speechless.

So what have we learned about our pal Dakin? He doesn't believe in dissent or questioning of our leadership's decisions; The President should rule like a king, without oversight or responsibility to his people. I hope he still feels that way when President Obama appoints a transgendered lesbian Hispanic as Chief Justice.

I heard that Nancy Pelosi is set to appear in an "October Surprise" ad as Paul Revere next week saying, "Electing dems is like trick or treat: you don't know which one it might be."

Hilarious.

The next ad has her singing as Betsy Ross.

Maybe she could star in a production of 1776 as John Adams.

I'm sorry her success is so bitter for you.

Her success at breeding idiotic clones is apparent.

Don't get offended--I'm only using the same tactics she does. At least I didn't suggest she should get poisoned, as she suggested Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned.

In order to be offended by someone, they must have the power to offend. You have no power intellectual, or otherwise that could possibly offend me.

Bless your soul.

And you keep proving my points without me even trying. Never a single answer to a single argument--just insults and labels. Did you try to deny the Justice Stevens remark? Or defend it? No. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T.

[Dakin]

Her comment about Stevens was very humorous.

You've proven yourself to be a caricature of liberalism by your dour sense of humor.

[roquat]

Posted: 10/28/06 at 12:12am

Would it be as humorous if she had said it about Justice Scalia?

[Dakin]

Posted: 10/28/06 at 8:26am

It depends on what he did to earn the distinction.

Stevens has been a thrity yeat disaster.
