I hate the media!!!!!!!

[The Vast Right Wing]

Given that this is coming out in the NY Slimes, I suspect it is a hit job. The Slimes is trying to set the agenda.

[Pokey78]

Dear Grover Norquist,

Know your role & shut your hole. Especially to the NYT.

[Dog]

Instead, the talk is that 'too bad we pushed for him."'

One known fact .....this White House doesn't leak...

[Pokey78]

It's got Howell Raines'fingerprints all over it, but Grover was stupid enough to be quoted.

[LarryM]

Norquist is a muslim lackey. He's mad at Ashcroft for going after his terrorist buddies.

[Alissa]

Just remember the Slimes is the 'official' talking points for 'all the news' to follow all day long across all time zones. It's time to squash/expose this procedure!!!!!

[Dog]

Wasn't there an article earlier about Bush rebuffing Powell over that UN funding ......now this article. Someone is working real hard to cause trouble..

[Thane_Banquo]

I have a severe problem with Ashcroft okaying using private citizens to spy on Americans and spying on places of worship.

Tough.

The NY Times reporting conservatives turning on conservatives!

Wow,that's a first.

I was getting damn tired of all those liberals turn on liberals stories.

[fineright]

Ashcroft is not perfect. Don`t go and pull a "Pitt" on him though.

[Paul Atreides]

Well, at least it is conservative women who turn him on.

We don't need another Janet Reno in there.

[Alissa]

As a postscript to my post above, the New York Times is the catalyst for Hillary Clinton winning her Senate seat. She would have never won that seat without the SLIMES!!!!!

[Ted]

I am not AT ALL troubled by anything Ashcroft has done thus far. I know people who have known him personally for many years, and am very confident we have a great man on the job. May God help him ignore this media drivel.

Eggggzactly! Too bad Drudge is a willing accomplice in spreading this trash. Ashcroft is definitely getting the negative propaganda Gingrich treatment. Lucky for us, John Ashcroft is a man of substance, moral fiber and strength, which will hopefully keep him above the ghouls and their wicked plot to bring him down.

Norquist is a muslim lackey. He's mad at Ashcroft for going after his terrorist buddies.

He may be. But he, like most other Washington insiders, craves media attention, and never met a microphone or notepad he could bypass.

I suspect Grover Norquist is largely speaking for himself and the "patriots" who've made "fascist state" a staple in their vocabulary.

Does this mean you won't be reporting suspected terrorists in a community near you?

[rdb3]

Look for these talking points to be picked up by even those on the far-far-Right.

INCOMING!
