[Alas Babylon!]

Well, looks like Paul Bremer is getting around today. Guess he'll be grilled about the Iraqi "Quagmire"?

Steponallofus pre-empted. Probably help his ratings.

[Unknown Freeper]

bump for later read

[mystery-ak]

As always please keep us time delayed informed....thanks.

[Wait4Truth]

Looks like CNN is again the place to avoid today. They ask one Republican to appear and it is the worst Bush-bashing Republican of them all - Chuck Hagel. He has picked up where his good buddy, John McCain left off. Pathetic!

[DoctorMichael]

Representative of LA RAZA (Cecelia Munoz) was on from 7:45 to 8:30. Her opening monolog used the word 'immigrant' 100 times ('immigrants this.......immigrnats that......immigrants, immigrants, immigrants) and never once used the term 'ILLEGAL-immigrants'.

She also said at one point she was an "Independent" NOT a Democrat. When queried by the host as to the last Republican she voted for, a nervous laugh and a large smile was illicited. She dodged the question.

The Call-IN Lines only accepted 'Hispanic/Latino/Chicano' callers:

One caller, that used the word FASCIST upteen times in refering to Bush was allowed to go on and on......."fascist Bush......fascist Republicans......facist, fascist, fascist".

When a 4th generation Mexican caller started to talk about (finally) ILLEGAL immigration (Believe me, she was STEAMING!) the caller was cut off in mid-sentence.

Bob Grahm will be the biggest liar today--I am sure of it. It really doesn't matter who the Dirtycrats have on the Sunaday shows anymore. All they do is lie without conscience.

Back in college, we had this one Statics/Dynamics professor who was fond of saying:

"So clearly, it should be intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer….

My friends and I would sit in the back of the auditorium and laugh about that phrase, over and over. If he said it 10 times in one lecture, we went out for a beer after class. So let it be said for the Liberals (and in America, to anyone who still has synapses firing between their brain neurons:

Clearly, it should be intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer that the Democrats are liars, and anyone who listens to them is either a liar themselves, or an incredible fool, or both.

The bible says this:

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

1 John 2:9-11

Anyone who still believes the Democrats or Liberals are telling the truth is hopelessly lost.

And that's all I have to say about that.

[DoctorMichael]

Oops.

Representative of LA RAZA (Cecelia Munoz) was on from 7:45 to 8:30..........on C-SPAM

C-SPAM is rerunning Tont Blairs speech at 1:10 PM!!!!!!

[COBOL2Java]

Damn. Brit's still on vacation from FNS...

[Wait4Truth]

Brit will be back on Monday. We'll see if that changes anything on Fox. Fox has taked a hard-left turn lately and I can't even watch them anymore. As far as I'm concerned, Fox used us all - they drew us in by "acting" conservative and are now showing their true colors. To me, that makes them worse than CNN - they never tried to hide their bias. If things don't change with Brit's return, this is one freeper that will turn away from Fox for good. Tony Snow has been very biased against President Bush and Fox has not even been telling the truth about the uranium story or much of anything else. I am totally disgusted. I don't like being used.

[McGruff]

I like this guy Paul Bremer, U.S. Civil Administrator in Iraq. He speaks clearly and in a very striaght forward manner. He thinks Saddam is hiding inside this triangle.

Seems like a couple of MOAB's would take care of that problem.

[TomGuy]

It is interesting to watch the interaction, or lack thereof, when a program segment ends, but there is a slight lull before going to commercial.

Russert just ended a segment with Paul Bremer, but it was several seconds before the commercial began. Bremer sat there, seemingly uncomfortable. Russert shuffled his papers, looked down at the table, occasionally glancing up past Bremer, like Russert was looking for a signal that they were off camera. Russert didn't make any indicative movement, smile, head nod, glance, etc., to acknowledge that Bremer was still sitting there in front of him. It was obvious that Russert said all the wanted to say to Bremer 'on camera.'

[mware]

Dennis commented on the way Congress restricted the intelligence agencies with their decisions.

You can thank my ex-senator Torch Torricelli for that one.

[altura]

ping to see what happened. (better than watching)

[Peach]

If Hastert doesn't mention the Iraqi Liberation Act and how repeatedly Clinton mentioned Iraq's Nuclear Program, I will positively scream.

We here at FR have compiled lists of what the Dems believed about Iraq's nuclear program in the late 90's.

[COBOL2Java]

Seems like a couple of MOAB's would take care of that problem.

I don't think we want this dude to be the face of America to the Iraqis...

[Brian S]

Watch Biden very closely. I still maintain that he will run for president and eventually get the nomination.

IMHO he is the most dangerous challenger to GWB of the whole lot... A Biden/Clark ticket would cause me great concern.

[Peach]

I agree - FNC drew us in when they saw a void of conservative reporting. Now that their ratings are up, they are resorting to typical journalistic smears.

[Miss Marple]

Believe me, I am calling talk radio Monday morning armed with that list! AND I am calling senators and Congresspeople. AND I am mailing that list to the head of the Indiana Republican party!

[Peach]

Good, Miss Marple! I have written two of my local papers as well as USA Today, which we receive every day because our local, small-town papers are inadequate. So far - no one has picked up on any of the quotes of the previous administration. More bias on the left because they print all the leftist positional letters.
