Details the press won't print! Time to spread the word!

[PhiKapMom]

Mud --

This one is for you! And you get my mea culpa -- I was wrong!

Back fully on the Rush team!

[Silly]

Excellent catch!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

New tone or not, this level of attack requires a response in kind -- one that hurts the enemy every bit as badly and personally as these attempt to do.

[Ciexyz]

The press is trying to destroy the Republican party thru this issue. Where in the hell are the Republican damage control troops when they're needed? In the press, we'll hear about Bush and Cheney ad nauseum, and it will allow the Dems will win the upcoming elections. Do the math, Pubbies in power.

[jiggyboy]

Wait, did he "take a bath", i.e., loss, or make a profit. The article says both, but the "take a bath" part is straight from Dick Cheney.

[habs4ever]

A good antidote would be to cap all media salaries at 50k and not allow any print reporters to appear on TV.They ought to do this for the good of the nation and for general "fairness".

It is also a given that those who work in the media are just some the dumbest people alive.

[hchutch]

Yes, this is EXACTLY why I like Rush.

Rush is slamming them hard. Rush is calling these folks as he sees it right now. This is CLASSIC. Rush needs to keep swinging at them like this!

He is OFF my bad list.

[gunnedah]

Folks the press are not only liberal,they are in the backpockets of the Democrats.Most of these people are like lawyers they are very adept at twisting words and the truth.
I would put "The Mainstream Media" in the same category as a criminal.It is about time for an organization to be formed that checks on their background and private lives and put it in print.They have been covered up for too long and they are public figures as well as politicians and atheletes.

[Terriergal]

BINGO!!

[PRO 1]

Thank you for the post.

I wonder if anyone would have at their disposal former posts that document former news articles mentioned prior to the election?

[Williams]

The press hates Cheney because he doesn't take their crap and ignores them. Scary thing is that Bush/Cheney really had no connection to the scandals coming out of certain major corporations, yet an "issue" has been created which people give credence to. Makes no logical sense and that is the scary part about what the democrats can do to America.

PKM, a link to this- and other stories damaging to Democrats- will go out soon as I finish gathering them.

Everyone else? Want to tell lots of people about this? Go here:

Ignorance Making You Ill? Cure It!

for links, tools, & instructions about how to contact a pile of different people, and how to send a link to this story right here ( or anywhere else ) to a "mass email" using Outlook Express.

[Letitring]

These press jerks make me furious. VP Cheney also GAVE AWAY 8 MILLION dollars to charity, just to avoid any "talk." These Democrats made me ill. Investigate CLINTON, both of them, and every durned Democrat in public office. THERE the media should find multiple culprits. I am so angry I could spit. Have been for days over this mass slaughter of Republicans.

Dick Cheney, the Republican vice presidential candidate, said Friday that if elected, he will forfeit stock options worth about $3.5-million in the energy services company that he left to run for office.

Cheney had been challenged by the Gore campaign for inviting a conflict of interest if he owned the options while in office.

He was precluded from selling the options, which he was awarded for his service as chief executive of the Halliburton Co., until 2001 at the earliest, and their value by then would be affected by the company's profits, which are sensitive to the price of oil.

Source

The Cheneys reported more than $1.9 million in short-term capital losses, which the White House said were mostly "incurred because the vice president sold stocks that he and Mrs. Cheney owned in order to avoid conflicts of interest." However, about $1.1 million of these losses are not deductible in 2000.

In addition, the Cheneys reported $823,509 in long-term capital gains. The Cheneys donated $41,646 to charity, plus stock options valued at approximately $7.8 million to three charities: Capital Partners for Education in Washington (which the White House says provides assistance to underprivileged high-school students); George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates; and the University of Wyoming.

The one thing that Rush has been 100% right on that none can disagre with him on is the spinless republican party.

Why does a radio host have to defend the president and the republican party? That should be the job of the RNC but they have been mostly slient and when they have spoken up did a really bad job of doing it.

www.overlawyered.com, keyword: "Halliburton". The Trial Lawyers, big Dem. $$$ donors are ruining corporations with often fraudulent lawsuits, resulting in tens of thousands of unemployed Americans, lost pensions and stockholders' savings. Where's the press?

December 10 (2001) -- "Halliburton Shares Plunge on Verdict". The market clipped $3.8 billion off the giant oil field service company's share valuation after Peter Angelos(Big Dem. Donor) got a $30 million jury award against it. The ruling is the fourth significant asbestos ruling against Halliburton since late October, according to Merrill Lynch ... Over the last 25 years, Halliburton has settled 194,000 asbestos claims, the company said. The average payment was about $200, according to Allen Brooks, executive director at CIBC World Markets. As of Sept. 30, the company faced 146,000 open asbestos claims and 182,000 more from a former subsidiary called Harbison-Walker." (David Koenig, AP/Yahoo, Dec. 7; Neela Banerjee, "Halliburton Battered as Asbestos Verdict Stirs Deep Anxieties", New York Times, Dec. 8). Federal-Mogul, the big auto parts maker, became the latest large bankruptcy to result from asbestos litigation with a filing two months ago (Joe Miller, "Asbestos suits hurt Fed-Mogul", Detroit News, Oct. 2).

"In late October, a Mississippi jury ordered three firms, including oil-services giant Halliburton and manufacturer 3M, to pay six plaintiffs $25 million apiece...What made jaws drop was that the plaintiffs weren't even sick their X-rays just showed they stood an increased chance of getting sick. 'Most of these guys have not missed a day of work in their lives,' their lawyer said. ... To unearth new clients for lawyers, screening firms advertise in towns with many aging industrial workers or park X-ray vans near union halls. To get a free X-ray, workers must often sign forms giving law firms 40 percent of any recovery. One solicitation reads: 'Find out if YOU have MILLION DOLLAR LUNGS!'" ("Looking for some million-dollar lungs", U.S. News, Dec. 17).

The company's management cites the party switch of Vermont Sen. James Jeffords as a reason for throwing in the towel, since a Senate organized by Democrats is unlikely to give the nod to any legislative fix for the litigation morass. ("USG Says It May Seek Bankruptcy Protection After Jeffords Decision", Wall Street Journal, June 5). http://overlawyered.com/archives/01/june3.html, June, '01.

You only have to go back a couple of weeks more to find Halliburton, the oil-field specialist that formerly boasted Dick Cheney as CEO, taking a big markdown on its shares after a jury awarded $150 million to four plaintiffs in an asbestos lawsuit. Halliburton has 250,000 more claimants waiting in the wings. Halliburton chief Dave Lesar says more than half the Dow 30 industrial companies have asbestos exposure, though some are reluctant to disclose it. Dow Chemical was hit with 900 lawsuits in December alone. If something isn't done soon, Reuters quoted a fund manager saying recently, "half the industrial companies in America could face bankruptcy."http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=95001763, Jan. '02.

February 14 (2000) -- Bill Clinton among friendly crowd.  The President hit Texas last week for a fund-raising tour of which the highlight was a $25,000-a-couple dinner hosted by trial lawyer husband-and-wife Fred Baron and Lisa Blue at their "palatial" (eleven bathrooms, six wet bars) Dallas home. The event raised an estimated $500,000 for the Democratic National Committee. The Reuters report describes Baron only as a "Democratic activist" but not as a trial lawyer, and none of the papers appear to pick up on his rather salient role as president-elect of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. Needless to say, none of the reporters are so rude as to mention the controversies over the coaching of testimony in Baron's asbestos claims practice, either. Maybe host and guest-of-honor shared tips about their respective successes with creative witness preparation. http://overlawyered.com/archives/00feb1.html
