Who did Pelosi torture besides Who did Pelosi torture besides Cheney?
- From: EllieWilder

Description:Here is an email I sent to Chris and Steph after hearing Chris yelling at a listener on Friday. It's about Nancy Pelosi, obviously a very heated topic. I see that Cheney is accomplishing his goal of taking Pelosi down with him. Tell me your views.Dear Chris and Steph,I just want to add my two cents, in complete agreement with Sue from Maryland on Friday about Nancy Pelosi. And in agreement with Steph. (And Chris I don't think you're a right wing tool)Cheney, Bush and company tortured people illegally. Speaker Pelosi had nothing to do with their decision to do that.I remember clearly when it was reported a couple of years ago that Nancy Pelosi first said impeachment was off the table. It was really clear to me from the reporting following that that Nancy Pelosi had been threatened by Bush's people with exactly what is happening now- if Pelosi and company allows Bush/Cheney to be investigated, and she will pay. This scenario was set up in 2005. And Cheney is playing it out.Do you remember how many times Congress was threatened during the Bush administration? Every time Congress was getting ready to leave on vacation, a huge bill would appear on the table that they were expected to pass right away, without having time to read it, or else if something bad happened while they were at home, it would be all their fault. And they buckled every time knowing that there would be hell to pay: the patriot act, patriot act 2, warantless wiretapping legislation, supplemetal war bills - multiple times, Supreme Court approvals as well.I think what isn't clear, since the Bush/Cheney investigations have not happened yet, is just how thuggish are these people? How much like the mafia have they been acting? How have they threatened Congress? I remember a Congressman named Sherman (who I think was just on your show) decrying the Bush reaction to the banking failures in the beginning. He said they called together a small group in Congress (th efinace committee?), including him, and threatened them with what would happen if they didn't do as directed, making them all feel as if they would be responsible for utter disaster if $600 billion wasn't handed over immediately with no strings attached. Congress then did finally stand up to Bush. But how many other threats did they make, especially as they were rushing into war in Iraq (we know how evil they became with Joe Wilson & Valerie Plame, and don't forget Scott Ritter). How many no-win situations did Nancy Pelosi find herself in? Numerous. I think you should give her a little slack.On CNN the other day , I heard some talking head decrying how Speaker Pelosi defames the CIA by saying they lied. Shocked, shocked, was he!! Holy mother of god...are we saying the CIA doesn't lie? There are no lies used for the sake of espionage, there are no people who lie there for any reason? The squeaky clean CIA? WHAT!!?? I would far sooner expect Nancy Pelosi to tell the truth than the CIA. I think it's their job to cover things up, isn't it? And I think it's their job to clear up this controversy. Yet they are playing both sides by refusing to release documents. They imperil both Cheney AND Pelosi. And in doing so, probably protect themselves. Because I bet there are lots of things the CIA doesn't want reported on TV...that's an understatement.Think about it, really. Of the CIA, Dick Cheney and Nancy Pelosi, which do you really think are the most evil? Don't' throw away the baby with the bathwater, as Cheney would like you to do. No, he would prefer to throw away the baby and keep the dirty bathwater. If Pelosi is deposed, the Democratic party is damaged.Okay, that's more like 5¢. Thanks for listening.Your fan,Ellie Wilder

What the F@#*? What the F@#*?
- From: imanrn2@columbus.rr.com
-
Description:
In a "What the f@#*?" moment on Sunday, Dick Cheney stirred from his crypt at an undisclosed location. He was seen on CNN's "State of the Union" with John King. What was the purpose behind Cheney rousing from his unnatural sleep? To bad mouth the Obama administration and urge Americans to be afraid...very afraid...of terrorists, economic disaster, cats and dogs cohabiting, alligators walking on two legs and eating babies like a bunch of stoners wolfing down Mallowmars...You get the idea.
My first reaction was "Why is anybody paying ANY attention to anything he says. After all, he's been proven so wrong on so many things during his tenure as VEEP and "Dark Lord of the Sith", that his credibility is, shall we say, non-existent. But wait, there is an upside here.
"What is that upside?", you may ask. To put it simply, it is that his putting his pasty face and rancid ideology out on the airwaves serves as a stark reminder of just why we are in our current straights. You know...coming up on eight years in Afghanistan...an unnecessary war in Iraq with the ongoing occupation...Stripping regulatory mechanism from the financial industry which would have prevented or ameliorated our current economic breakdown...The horrors of Abu Ghraib, renditions, black sites and GITMO.
Given his negative ratings before he was ushered out of the White House with his man-sized safe (crypt?), he serves the country well by reminding us all of just why the Republicans were run out of Congress and the White House on a rail. So just keep putting your ugly mug out there on the airwaves...Dick, and we'll keep remembering why we kicked your, and Dubbyuh's, sorry asses to the curb. - Blog post

Eric Boehlert's piece on Glenn Eric Boehlert's piece on Glenn Beck
- From: Reek Havoc

Description:
Glenn Beck and the rise of Fox News' militia media
After a night of drinking, followed by an early-morning argument with his mother, with whom he shared a Pittsburgh apartment, 22-year-old Richard Poplawski put on a bulletproof vest, grabbed his guns, including an AK-47 rifle, and waited for the police to respond to the domestic disturbance call his mother had placed. When two officers arrived at the front door, Poplawski shot them both in the head, and then killed another officer who tried to rescue his colleagues.
In the wake of the bloodbath, we learned that Poplawski was something of a conspiracy nut who embraced dark, radical rhetoric about America. He was convinced the government wanted to take away his guns, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. Specifically, Poplawski, as one friend described it, feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon." (FYI, there is no Obama gun ban in the works.) The same friend said the shooter feared America was "going to see the end of our times."
We learned that Poplawski hosted his own (failed) Internet radio show and that he visited the website of 9-11 conspiracy backer Alex Jones, who has been hyping the threat of a totalitarian world government for years. More recently, Jones has been warning listeners like Poplawski about The Obama Deception (that's the name of Jones' new documentary DVD) and how President Obama is bound to destroy America.
Who's Alex Jones? Even according to some conservative bloggers, the anti-government, anti-Obama talker is a "freak" who's popular with "the tin foil hat crowd." Like with Poplawski, apparently.
Jones might be a "freak," but he has recently been embraced -- and mainstreamed -- by Fox News, as part of the news channel's unprecedented drive to push radical propaganda warning of America's democratic demise under the new president.
During a March 18 webcast of FoxNews.com's proudly paranoid "Freedom Watch," Andrew Napolitano introduced a segment about "what the government has done to take your liberty and your property away." And with that, he welcomed onto the show "the one, the only, the great Alex Jones," who began ranting about "exposing" the New World Order and the threat posed by an emerging "global government."
"I appreciate what you're exposing," Napolitano assured his guest.
Waving around a copy of his Obama Deception, Jones warned Fox News webcast viewers about Obama's "agenda" for "gun confiscation" and the new president's plan to "bring in total police-state control" to America.
Jones also noted with excitement that Fox News' Glenn Beck had recently begun warning about the looming New World Order on his show, just like Jones had for years. "It is great!" cheered the conspiracist. (Like Jones, Beck recently warned viewers that "the Second Amendment is under fire.") Concluding the interview, Fox News' Napolitano announced "it's absolutely been a pleasure" listening to Jones' insights.
We don't know if Poplawski tuned in to watch Jones' star turn for Fox News last month. But is there any doubt that Fox News is playing an increasingly erratic and dangerous game by embracing the type of paranoid insurrection rhetoric that people like Poplawski are now acting on? By stoking dark fears about the ominous ruins that await an Obama America, by ratcheting up irresponsible back-to-the-wall scenarios, Fox News has waded into a territory that no other news organization has ever dared to exploit.
What Fox News is now programming on a daily (unhinged) basis is unprecedented in the history of American television, especially in the form of Beck's program. Night after night, week after week, Beck rails against the president while denouncing him or his actions, alternately, as Marxist, socialist, or fascist. He felt entirely comfortable pondering whether the federal government, under the auspices of FEMA, was building concentration camps to round up Americans in order to institute totalitarian rule. (It wasn't until this week that Beck was finally able to "debunk" the FEMA conspiracy theory.) And that's when Beck wasn't gaming out bloody scenarios for the coming civil war against Obama-led tyranny. In just a few shorts months, Beck raced to the head of Fox News' militia media movement.
Just prior to the Pittsburgh massacre, Beck's often bizarre on-air performances, in which his rants against the Obama administration's dark forces were mixed in with his tearful proclamations of love of country, had turned him into a highly rated laughingstock. "That is a shaky cat," Dennis Miller recently giggled while describing Beck. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough broke into hysterics after a montage of Beck's most weepy moments. And TV satirists have had a field day at the Fox News host's expense. (Stephen Colbert: "Crank up the crazy and rip off the knob!")
But I'm not sure people should be laughing.
The consequences of Fox News' doomsday programming now seem entirely predictable. As Jeffrey Jones, a professor of media and politics at Old Dominion University, recently explained to The New York Times in regard to Beck's rhetoric, "People hear their values are under attack and they get worried. It becomes an opportunity for them to stand up and do something."
People like Richard Poplawski? FYI, weeks before his deadline shooting spree, Poplawski uploaded a video clip of Beck ominously referencing the FEMA camps on Fox News.
It's true that Beck, in response to mounting criticism, made this statement on his show:
BECK: Let me be clear on one thing. If someone tries to harm another person in the name of the Constitution or the truth behind 9-11 or anything else, they are just as dangerous and crazy as those people we don't seem to recognize anymore -- you know, the ones who kill in the name of Allah.
But look at the very next two lines of his monologue: "There are enemies both foreign and domestic in America tonight. Call it fearmongering or call it the truth." That doesn't sound like Beck was backing away from his rhetorical call to arms to fend off the Marxist -- no, wait -- fascist Obama administration.
And let's drop the idea -- pushed hard by Beck himself -- that he's simply a modern-day Howard Beale, from the classic film Network, just an angry, I'm-mad-as-hell everyman lashing out at the hypocrisies of our time. Nonsense. Beale's unvarnished on-air rants from Network targeted conformity, corporate conglomerates, and the propaganda power of television. ("This tube," he called it.) Beale's attacks were not political or partisan. Beck, by contrast, unleashes his anger against, and whips up dark scenarios about, the new president of the United States. Big difference.
Here's a sampling of what Beck's been drumming into the heads of viewers, a portion of whom likely (and logically) hear his rhetoric as a call to action. That the government is a "heroin pusher using smiley-faced fascism to grow the nanny state." That it's indoctrinating our children; that we have "come to a very dangerous point in our country's long, storied history." Beck's concerned that the "Big Brother" government will soon dictate what its citizens can eat, at what temperature their house can be set, and what kind of cars they're allowed to drive.
Beck's sure "[d]epression and revolution" are what await America under Obama, and fears moving "towards a totalitarian state." The country today sometimes reminds Beck of "the early days of Adolf Hitler." Beck thinks that Obama, who has "surrounded himself by Marxists his whole life," is now "addicting this country to heroin -- the heroin that is government slavery."
And it's not just Beck. Appearing on Fox News, Dick Morris recently made a wildly irresponsible comment that looks even worse in light of the Pittsburgh law-enforcement slayings: "Those crazies in Montana who say, 'We're going to kill ATF agents because the UN's going to take over' -- well, they're beginning to have a case."
And it's not just Fox News. Radio nut Michael Savage recently claimed that "we have a naked Marxist for president." And high-profile conservative blogger Erick Erickson contemplated the beating of politicians: "At what point do [people] get off the couch, march down to their state legislator's house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp for being an idiot?"
Of course, the right-wingers at Free Republic are way ahead of Erickson as they fantasize about Obama's assassination: "And let's face it: all the speculation about Obama being the actual Antichrist will either be confirmed or denied if someone gets off a lucky shot at the SOB."
"Go Kill Liberals!"
I wonder if Glenn Beck knows who Jim Adkisson is. Adkisson made headlines on July 28, 2008, when he brought his sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, and, after whipping it out of a guitar case, opened fire on parishioners while a group of schoolchildren performed songs up by the altar. Adkisson killed two people and wounded several others.
Adkisson, a 58-year-old unemployed truck driver, brought 70 shotgun shells with him to the church and assumed he'd keep killing until the police arrived on the scene and shot him dead as well. Instead, some members of the congregation were able to wrestle him to the ground and hold him for police.
When investigators went to Adkisson's home in search of a motive, as well as evidence for the pending trial, they found copies of Savage's Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, Let Freedom Ring by Sean Hannity, and The O'Reilly Factor, by Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. They also came across what was supposed to have been Adkisson's suicide note: a handwritten, four-page manifesto explaining his murderous actions. The one-word answer for his deed? Hate. The three-word answer? He hated liberals.
The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather. I'd like to encourage other like minded people to do what I've done. If life aint worth living anymore don't just Kill yourself. Do something for your Country before you go. Go Kill Liberals!
What Adkisson especially hated about liberals ("this cancer, this pestilence") and what he hated about candidate "Osama Hussein Obama" was that they were marching America toward ruin: "Liberals are evil, they embrace the tenets of Karl Marx, they're Marxist, socialist, communists." Adkisson seethed over the way liberals were "trying to turn this country into a communist state" and couldn't comprehend why they would "embrace Marxism."
Sound familiar, Glenn?
John Bohstedt was one of the Unitarian church members who tackled Adkisson after the first round of gunfire went off inside the sanctuary. Two months ago, Adkisson pleaded guilty to the murder charges and was sentenced to life in prison. At the hearing, Bohstedt told the Associated Press he didn't think the killer had been insane, but rather had been manipulated by anti-liberal rhetoric.
"There are a lot of people who hate liberals, and if we stir that around in the pot and on the airwaves, eventually there will be people (like Adkisson) ... who get infected by the violent rhetoric and put it into violent action," Bohstedt said.
He remained worried about future violence: "Do you think there are other Jim Adkissons out there listening to hate speech? I do."
Me too.

Perino: Bush Deserves Credit F Perino: Bush Deserves Credit For Recent Market Uptick
- From: capt
-
Description:
Former White House spokesperson Dana Perino said on Sunday that the Bush administration, while presiding over the start of the current recession, nevertheless deserved some credit for the modest uptick that Wall Street experienced this past week.
Appearing on CSPAN's Washington Journal, the last of Bush's press secretaries said it was "not a secret" that the current economic mess started under her boss's watch. But, she cautioned, the public had yet to realize the full extent to which the past president's policies "alleviat[ed] the downturn." Take, for instance, the improvement in the Dow Jones Industrial average this week.
"You were just speaking earlier about the possibility that since we had a little bit of a better week on Wall Street does that spell a turnaround?" Perino said. "Can all the credit go specifically to President Obama? Well, I would say no. We are just going to have to take a while to let all of this settle down and let the policies that our administration and the new administration are trying to put in place have a chance to work."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average had gone, roughly speaking, from a high of 14,000 to a low of just over 9,000 in the last two years of Bush's tenure. It rose from slightly below 7,000 to slightly above 7,000 this past week.
The effort to credit the market boost to Bush administration fiscal policy comes at a time of renewed debate over what role the former president played in the recession. On Sunday, former Vice President Dick Cheney said he didn't think it was fair to blame Bush for creating the current economic woes. That followed a speech by Barack Obama, saying that he had inherited the mess from which he was trying to dig the country out.
Asked how long, Obama would be able to cast blame on his predecessor, Perino responded:
"For a while, I guess. He can do it as long as he wants. The question is, is this the smartest communications strategy to be doing it? Remember, President Bush inherited a recession as well. That is when the Internet technology stocks and the companies all fell apart. The question is not who the blame. You couldn't blame the technology bubble all on President Clinton himself, absolutely not... That aside, every president inherits big problems because you are the leader of the free world and there are going to be problems that you inherit. The danger I think - and I would say we fell into this a bit as well - is that if you constantly blame the person before you, you are not able to move forward and look forward and I do not think that necessarily the country wants that right now."

FreedomWorks Conservative Rapp FreedomWorks Conservative Rapper VS. Progressive Rapper Macarone
- From: dophouse

Description:
I thought I was dreaming last night when I stumbled across one of the craziest things I have ever seen!!! I know Dick Armey is a crook, but in no way did I ever expect this fool would attempt to steal something so close to my heart! This fool Dick Armey and his Freedomworks Gang have sponsored their very own Faux Rapper!!! Hi-Caliber??? The Astroturf Rapper??? The TeaBaggers Rapper??? How did I miss this???
Hip-Hop is from the streets!!! Hip-Hop, although it is now exploited to the fullest, IS a Grassroots Movement so should I be surprised that conservatives want to tap into the power of Hip-Hop music? Of course not! I love Hip-Hop!!! I live Hip-Hop!!! I always have!!! So when I see this dude Hi-Caliber performing at TeaBagger rallies two things really stand out to me... One, would a real Hip-Hop head be rapping to a crowd that has a bunch of old people with no rhythm dancing and holding up signs with Obama as Hitler or Obama as the Witch Doctor? And two, these TeaBaggers don't see any hypocrisy in dancing off beat to a rap song while holding up signs with Obama as Hitler or Obama as the Witch Doctor!!!
How is it that Hi-Caliber the TeaBaggin Rapper can get all of this publicity? This guy is on the radio!!! This guy is funded by Freedomworks!!! Dick Armey is paying for this guys videos!!! How come real rappers like Macarone, with a positive progressive political message can't get any play with some of the Liberal Media??? While this joke can grab the mic and scream about how he is a "proud right-wing extremist", hmmm...
Check out Hi-Caliber & Freedom Works VS Macarone & WATCH OUT for the GOP and tell us what you think.

Treason by any other name... Treason by any other name...
- From: imanrn2@columbus.rr.com
-
Description:
...Is still treason. And suborning treason is exactly what Dick Cheney is doing with his "stay behinds" in the Obama administration and various other agencies.
In an interview on "Fresh Air with Terri Gross" Seymour Hersch, veteran investigative reporter with the "New Yorker", Hirsch stated that Cheney left these "stay behinds" for his own purposes...
You leave people behind. It’s a stay behind that you can continue to contacts with, to do sabotage, whatever you want to do. Cheney’s left a stay behind. He’s got people in a lot of agencies that still tell him what’s going on. Particularly in defense, obviously. Also in the NSA, there’s still people that talk to him. He still knows what’s going on. Can he still control policy up to a point? Probably up to a point, a minor point. But he’s still there. He’s still a presence. - Seymour Hersch
Cheney is a private citizen now his security clearances are null and void as he no longer has a "need to know". By encouraging his moles to report back to him he is suborning treason, and if the information is classified, he...and they...are engaging in espionage. I understand the penalties for this are quite severe.
Thus far, however, the Obama administration seems content to let the worst excesses of the Bush administration go unanswered for. Perhaps that will change with this new awareness of traitors in their midst.

"You were created by the magic "You were created by the magicians; return to your dust..."
- From: imanrn2@columbus.rr.com
-
Description:
Such were the words of Rav Zeira to the golem sent to him by the Babylonian Talmudist Rava around 300AD. It apperas that the GOP congressional leadership has similar words for Dick Cheney after his pasty face showed up on the TV last week.
Congressional Republicans are telling Dick Cheney to go back to his undisclosed location and leave them alone to rebuild the Republican Party without his input. Displeased with the former vice-president's recent media appearances, Republican lawmakers say he's hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself after back-to-back electoral drubbings. - The Hill
Apparently, whenever Cheney come shambling forth from his crypt at an undisclosed location, he raises the twin specters of he and Dubbyuh running the country into the ground. This makes it all the harder for the GOP to rebrand itself for public consumption as it attempts to distance itself from the Bush administration, not that they're having a tremendous amount of success in either case.
All I can say is "Bring it on!". If he really wants to talk about the policies of the Bush administration that have done so much harm to this nation and the principles it was founded upon, let him do so under oath and before a judge.
