Lindsey Graham denounces Liz Cheny advertisement
Politico ^ | 3/9/10 | Lisa Lerer

Posted on 03/09/2010 1:37:16 PM PST by pissant

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham denounced a recent ad questioning the loyalty of Obama administration lawyers who had previously represented suspected terrorists.

The ad — run by Liz Cheney's group Keep American Safe — derided the unidentified appointees as the "Al Qaeda 7” asking "Whose values do they share?"

“A defense attorney who is making the government do their job regardless of the nature of the case is making this whole country a better place,” said Graham, a military lawyer who’s currently a senior instructor at the Air Force JAG School. “I represented people as a defense attorney in the military that were charged with some pretty horrific acts and I gave them my all.”

Graham wants the White House to move the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other alleged 9/11 plotters from civilian courts into a revamped military commissions.

Lindsay has her panties in a bunch?

I guess so.
She is too scared her bf, the “clean, well spoken negro”, 0bama, might get his hair ruffled by Liz Cheney.

I suspect Graham represented the people he did because he was assigned to the case(s) by his superiors. Those who defended the Gitmo terrorists did so because they believe in some aspect of their cause. Either they sympathize with the terrorists tendencies or the want to express their dissatisfaction with the American justice system.

It's one thing to be part of a pool and know that part of your obligation to your profession is to provide the benefits of that profession to those who have a need of the services and can't afford it or can't find it otherwise.

Lindsey Graham describes himself as “Republican by day, Democrat by night.” I think he might be spending his nights with the ballerina. Maybe they cruise the showers together naked.

I haven’t even seen it, but if he’s against it, I’m almost certainly for it.

I can’t believe we blinked and let this guy get re-elected. Now we have to wait another four years to throw him out.

If for no other reason, I like Liz for the enemies she attracts.

I'd vote for Lindsey Lohan over this idiot.

(For anyone who hasn't seen the new E-Trade baby commercial featuring the "Milkaholic Lindsey" find it on YouTube...very funny.)

” Those who defended the Gitmo terrorists did so because they believe in some aspect of their cause.
Either they sympathize with the terrorists tendencies or the want to express their dissatisfaction with the American justice system. “

That’s exactly what a lawyer friend said to me yesterday.
They didn’t just defend terrorists-they sympathize with their cause.

The problem with Liz’ ad is that some of Bush’s DOJ also defended accused terrorists. If we attack the current DOJ we will be asked why we didn’t attack Bush’s DOJ.

Lindsey, you REALLY need to sit down and shut the F**K up.

Cap and tax, criminal immigration, GITMO, now this. Damn! you are tiresome.

I would guess that you get your rocks off by royally pissing off conservatives.
