Lantos is Congressman not a Senator, but that doesn't lessen the fact that he is repugnant.

Tom Lantos, of all people, knows first hand what it’s like to be liberated. He’s a Holocaust survivor, for God’s sake. He’s lived under a murderous bunch of thugs, and should be one of the members of Congress supporting this Iraqi action and war on terrorism no matter how long it takes or what it takes. He’s slandering the same military that saved his ungrateful rear end.

Loved that! He was just going to keep rolling right over them, but the chairman (?) ordered the whole group thrown out. Didn’t cause Gen. Petraeus to skip a beat.

Dems let them is to badger the General. Make themselves look like fools. The General is kicking these Dems in the teeth.

LOL, no doubt the public is brainwashed by Vietnam Hollywood movies, partisan historians, profs, and media.

Too bad they haven’t a clue about the history of Saddam and Sons, OBL, AQ, Hamas, Hezzies, Iran, Arafat, Islamic jihad, Israel, ME wars, oil, the UN, and the ME in general.

King David is doing great. Not sure I will be able to suffer listening to the dems inquisition after his statement though. Although it might be fun to watch the General slap them down one by one.....lol

Oh, but this IS their job ... their masters: Soros, all the CREW, Progressive Orgs, Moveons, etc. pay them well to betray their fortunate American births and bring dissension, sedition, and their disgusting and crass circus acts to the American public.

IMO, there are many levels of Rat networking and activism ... they’re just the lowest rung .. the wingnuts. But .. it’s a very organized and massive effort, from top to bottom .. calculated to destroy or marginalize our sacred American values and traditions and damage our President and the virtuous actions of our troops.

With the media’s blatant help, and through their multi-pronged efforts, they can tailor their message to every strata of citizen opinion and emotion about the WOT and Pres. Bush. Ultimately, it’s a numbers game .. all focused on grabbing more political power .. pure and simple... and sadly there is a segment of our society who
welcomes and encourages their Marxist methods.

When you’re unscrupulous and power hungry, there are no depths to which you won’t sink .. hence:

Vietnam Memorial Wall Defaced This Weekend (September 7-9, 2007)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1893742/posts

and

this perverse comment should not be forgotten .. proof positive of the inherent motives and character of some Democrat politicians and documented enemies of the United States of America:

from a strategy session of Democrats .. spoken by Jim Moran ~ D-VA:

****

...” The military is performing well, and that’s what Petraeus is going to say.

****
****

The result of the military success is going to be wholly inconsistent with our values, and certainly unworthy of the sacrifice of our military families.”

****
****
Think about the weight of those words .. again. Stunning.

Their strategy session is detailed in this thread ... a MUST read for raw insight into their perverse methods, madness and goals:

The numbers are impressive...

Well, I thought these improvements were as a result of Iraqi tribal chiefs etc. taking action, not US Armed Forces activity-- just like Senator Scheeeeemer said. /sarc

The general is fantastic. I hope the scum sucking Lefties are enjoying this tour de force.

Lantos doesn’t even look like he’s listening.

I think the dems are basically screwed now.
They undermined our troops, democracy, emboldened terrorists and stood on the wrong side of history.

Today has sealed their fate.

Most Americans will trust Petraeus.

You must agree, most Americans do not have the facts, context, or history?

I would give Americans a little more credit than that. Talk radio, FOX News and conservative web sites flourish precisely because there is a market for them. The Academy, the media, and popular culture are still dominated by leftists, to a significant degree because socialist leaders made it their goal beginning in the 1960's to undertake a "long march through the institutions", an effort in which they largely succeeded. Now we (traditionalists and conservatives) are fighting back by offering facts, context, and history that many people would otherwise not be exposed to, and the powers-that-be do not like it one bit.
