Drudge posts Rep. Meehan's phone # on his site for criticism of Bush

Drudge Report ^ | 9/14/01

[truthandlife]

Excerpt from Drudge Report:

U.S. Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-MA) scoffed at reports Air Force One was targeted by terrorists - the reason Bush aides have put forth to explain why the president delayed his return to Washington after Tuesday's attack on the Pentagon. 'I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target,' said Meehan. 'That's just PR. That's just spin'...

(202) 225-3411 Meehan office number...

How do these people get elected? Mass look at your representatives and senators, they all reflect you, a sickening bunch of pukes.

[b4its2late]

Wow, Meehans comments make him appear to be quite mentally challenged.

[Texican72]

Gee, I wonder if Marty is getting any irate phone calls??

[unsycophant]

Good for Matt Drudge to cite these examples of ignorance.

It's very comforting to know that for some of the Dem's, it will be 'business as usual' in DC. Good God. Do they have an ounce of morality, ethics, integrity, a sense of decency? At all?

[Mike K]

I called Meehan's office, repeated the quote and asked if it was accurate.
The polite woman answered, "Sir the quotes were taken out of context."

So, it wasn't wrong or made up, it was taken out of context. What other meaning could possibly be extracted from quotes like that? Talk about spin.

[Mad Dawgg]

Could someone who lives in this piece of Dung's District post his E-mail Address! His Phone line is busy but I am sure there are many here who would love to send him a reality gram!

Telephone is busy. Is there a email address to flood? Don C.

[BJungNan]

We need an email address. Tel line busy, busy, busy ...

[frmrda]

I too called and asked if they were accurate and I too got the message, from a polite man that they were "taken out of context" and he proceeded to read me the full statement. I asked how the words reported were taken out of context, and he honestly answered "I really don't know".

[Mad Dawgg]

Ok Freepers we need to do what we do Best! Freep Meehan!

The Goal is to get the news people to put presure on him and to get him to publicly retract his words!

Anyone got any ideas on how?

[jess35]

Gee, I wonder if Marty is getting any irate phone calls??

Well, I wouldn't say it was irate....

I was also told that the quote was taken out of context. I asked what the proper context for: 'I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target,' said Meehan. 'That's just PR. That's just spin' would be.

I asked when Meehan would be publicly apologizing for his words. There was no response.

[Interloper]

I called his office and let them have it.

Me: "What was the purpose of the Congressmen's comments?"

Lackey: "The Congressmen's comments were taken out of context, he's released a statement at www.house.gov/meehan in which he fully supports the president"

Me: "What was the correct context of the statment 'I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target, That's just PR. That's just spin'"

Lackey: "The Congressmen fully supports the President"

Me: "What did he mean by that statement?"

Lacky: "I don't know, I'll have to check and get back to you"

[Boss_Jim_Gettys]

From the rest of the Boston Herald article:(here).

"It's not a question of what he's saying," said U.S. Rep. Richard Neal (D-Springfield). "The content is fine. But the blandness with which it is delivered has caused considerable reaction."

I called and was told this (and the rest of what was quoted in the article) was "wrong" (BS! When I asked if the congressman said Bush was bland the staffer said he didn't know since he wasn't there) and that there would be a statement issued later today.

Phone number is (202)225-5601. Two more for the traitor list. Go get 'em.

[hellinahandcart]

I too called and asked if they were accurate and I too got the message, from a polite man that they were "taken out of context" and he proceeded to read me the full statement. I asked how the words reported were taken out of context, and he honestly answered "I really don't know".

LOL. "I really don't know, they just WERE, okay, Meehan told me to say so."

Can you tell us what you remember of the "full statement", just for grins?

FReepers,
FIRE AWAY!!!

[Valin]

Wow, Meehans comments make him appear to be quite mentally challenged.

Have you ever considered that he could BE "Mentally challenged?" Remember stupid is as stupid does.

[Faraday]

The liberal socialists continue to panic in the face of the American people rallying around their President. We will remember this.

[HoustonKevin]

The Slime Ball has taken the phone off the hook.

I am sure Meehan, and all the other pundits would rather have had our President in the White House as it was under attack!

Keep calling!!

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

Marty Meehan is one of the absolutely stupidest people in the House- and that is saying something!

I think that it is not a coincidence that two of these planes were hijacked from Boston. Massachusetts might as well be an unfriendly foreign country (and yes, I have lived there- but I never plan to set foot in that corrupt State again).

[Mad Dawgg]

FReepers, FIRE AWAY!!!

Tally Ho

Target Locked!

Fox One Away!

[OneArmtoFreedom]

YO BOOMOP!
I AM A MASSHOLE AND I TAKE SERIOUS OFFENSE TO YOUR LESS THAN WELL GUIDED COMMENTS!

Massholes are people too! And just because our representatives drink, kill people, or make stupid statements daily, does not mean i am stupid. Don't cut the tree down for one bad apple, or a bunch of bad elected apples.

What state are you from?????

-onearm

[frmrda]

The full statement was read very quickly and I was looking for some context. Nothing in the full statement was even remotely related to Air Force One not being in danger. The one line that really struck me though from the "full statement" is that as a nation we must "speak with one voice". Damn hypocrit.

[eternity]

Hey Boss. Don't you know Meehan and his staff are experts at spin. Tried to call and will continue. Obviously this idiot does not know protocal. In a War type situation you don't publicly condemn the Commander in Chief. He's a traitor.

[KSCITYBOY]

need e-mail phone is busy

For your clicking convenience: martin.meehan@mail.house.gov

[Interesting Times]

Now Meehan's office is just letting the phone ring...

[Boss_Jim_Gettys]

I got the "taken-out-of-context" line too. I asked the staffer if she could possibly put it into context for me and she said she couldn't because she wasn't there.

I see a pattern here. My post from a call to Congressman Neal's office above.

[HoustonKevin]

Mr. Meehan, can you tell me why your boy Klinton did not take out bin Laden in December when he had in the intell to do it?

Oh Yeah! I forgot, he was busy selling pardons and looting the White House!

From a former MassHole ... <<<< GET OUT >>>> ... Before it's too late.

You have a home in New Hampshire.

"Now Meehan's office is just letting the phone ring..."

I just got through. Keep trying.

[SpinyNorman]

Great. Another liberal puke I have to be ashamed of because I live in Massachusetts. As if Frank and Kennedy weren't embarrassment enough. Send some email to Howie Carr, a Boston based radio talk show host (a good guy) that has Meehan on his show frequently. Let him know what you think and maybe he can get Meehan on to harrass (pronounced HER-ASS) the bastid (Boston accent). Howie's web site is

www.howiecarr.org

It seems a little busy now, probably with others already bitching. Neal is another one. At his last election, he had the dispicable Bill Clinton and/or Ted Kennedy (can't remember which) at his fundraiser. Funny thing is, he was running unopposed, so it is unclear just exactly what the fund raising was for.

here is another that should work. Don C.

[Interesting Times]

I really don't see why Congressman Meehan's office shouldn't spend the next solid week on the phone explaining why he considers it appropriate to call the President a liar with no evidence, during a time of war.

[Constitution Day]

Rep. Martin "Ma$$hole" Meehan:

Fax # is (202) 226-0771

[Valin]

Thanks guy for the address My message
Words cannot express my outrage at this statement. Even though I do not live in your district I WILL do all in my small power to see you voted out. SHAME SHAME ON YOU.

[eternity]

Thanks for the link. A not to kind message signed,sent and delivered. But heck the truth hurts.

[boomop1]

He speaks for you, I feel sorry for the few right thinking people who still live there.

[S.O.L.]

Meehan's email address is mtmeehan@mail.house.gov

[careyb]

Kudos to Drudge.

[Valin]

We should start a pool, How long until this jerks mailbox is full and crashes?

[Mad Dawgg]

This is the letter I sent to the puke Meehan!

To the Honorable(?) Represenative Meehan

'I don't buy the notion Air Force One was a target,' said Meehan. 'That's just PR. That's just spin'...

Sir could you please explain this statement? Does this somehow help all those people who died in this terrible attack? Were you tryin to score political points and show your true colors even while brave Americans were risking their lives diggin in the rubble of the Trade Center? You should be ashamed of yourself and ask your maker and the citizens of the USA for forgiveness! Now is not the time for your pitiful Political agenda!

Let me be clear! Now is not the time for your Anti-American tripe and if you somehow feel the President should not Lead us to victory in this War against terrorism please exit the country to your right, we don't need pitiful excuses of people like yourself to hinder our resolve!

Nuff Said!

Tried Meehan's D.C. office several times - always busy. Here's phone # of DNC House leader's office - I just called and told Gephardt to tell Meehan & Neal to SHUT UP - America did not need their political flack during this time of our tragedy. Have at it Freepers.

[leadpenny]

Will you condemn Meehan's comments???? Yes or No?

[SamAdams76]

Here are two local numbers for Marty Meehan. He is getting swamped and deserves to be:

978-459-0101

978-681-6200

I am from Massachusetts. Marty Meehan represents me in Congress. I cannot put into words the contempt that I have for this little man. He attends the Independence Day parade in my hometown every year (Chelmsford). I would like to organize a Freep on July 4th so that we can give him the reception he will deserve.

I will do everything in my power to ensure that the career of this scumbag is over. He was elected to Congress as a supporter of term limits and promised to serve only two terms. Of course, the liar broke that promise. If he kept that promise, he wouldn't be in the situation he is in today. We should haunt this guy to the end of his term. We shall never forget.

What burns me is that this idiot evacuated Congress along with everybody else on Tuesday. He took himself out of danger and then has the nerve to criticize President Bush for wisely taking himself, Air Force One and the 100+ passengers that fly with him out of danger as well.
