Harold Ford Jr. Lies on Dennis Miller - Said Bush Said "Imminent Threat"

Dennis Miller Show - CNBC | 2-5-04

[Sabretooth]

Ford seems either unhappy or sick.

Maybe hes on drugs?

[jmstein7]

Maybe he just saw some of Kerry's long-term internal projections?

[prairiebreeze]

I saw it. Dennis didn't contradict him either. I had thought this show was improving. Not so sure....

If you had his father and uncle, you would look sick too.

Surprised Dennis let it go. It is one of the big lies that frosts me most. I am still waiting for someone, anyone to demand the cretins source the alleged quote.

[Sabretooth]

Fords just doing the Dem talking points.

What do you mean about his dad?

[mathluv]

ford just said he would run for the senate if Frist does step down.

[motzman]

Surprised Dennis let it go.

Miller did say something like "Man, you are slick..." with a knowing grin as they went into commercial.

Crooks. One of them was being investigated for bank fraud in Tennessee until the newly sworn in President Clinton fired the Justice Department attorneys and ordered the case closed.

[jmstein7]

Slimey is more like it.

[Political Junkie Too]

He's right. Bush said the words "imminent" and "threat." However, Bush also said some other words.

In fact, if you string them all together in the order that Bush uttered them, Bush said "Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent."

To counter this, we need a gifted cartoonist to make a Beavis and Butthead clone that takes the Bush speech where he says this, and then morph to Beavis and Butthead (looking like McAuliffe and Kerry) saying "He said 'imminent' -- huh-huh, huh-huh!"

Take that China! HA HA

[GeronL]

The media is now reporting this as a FACT!!!!

[GeronL]

ABC News is reporting it as a fact that Bush said there was an imminent threat.

[oceanview]

I listened to the radio coming home from work, its on EVERY single radio news station at the top of the hour.

[small voice in the wilderness]

I haven't decided if I will be a regular viewer of Dennis. First it was Naomi that got on my nerves, then Martin Short knowing nothing about anything for one hour, then the monkey retires, now he allows Harold Ford to get away with this continuing lie. If I wanted to see this much B.S. on a nightly basis, I would tune in to O'Reilly.

Miller's heart is in the right place as regards defending Bush, but, despite how sharp he can make himself sound, he's just not sufficiently up on his facts. Understandable, since he's only been a "conservative" (I know, that's stretching the term a bit for some people) for a couple years, and the Democrats lie so fast it takes a long time to come up to speed.

And when he's winging it, as he is on this show, rather than performing his act, he misuses a surprising number of his trademark big words, too. I was a little disappointed. If you know anything of Roger Ailes, it does explain why he's not on Fox, though.

How are his ratings doing, does anyone know?

From the first time I saw that punk Ford, I knew he'd gotten where he is via his daddy or somebody. PUNK!

Surprised to hear Shepard Smith correct the record today.
