ME-

Liberals and democrats cannot argue against dictatorship regimes, loss of civil liberties and war mongering while supporting dictatorships around the world.

The lead liberal Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich.Mr rich worked with Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet to obtain cheap copper through the slave labor and torture poor Indians.

Liberals in the United States did all they could to stop the war on Hitler as well.

The Bush administration is planning major cuts in funding for Public Broadcasting and the liberals are wailing. See previous thread

The problem is the House Republicans may not support any reductions. Over 100 of them refused to reduce NPR/PBS funding 1%. Click on my profile (name)to see how your congress critter voted!

We can only hope they're still there when the bombs start to fall...

Last I heard him, Biden was fully onboard for a war with Iraq.

It's the Chappaquidick Flash who's against it.

Boycott NPR.

Joe was sitting On the Chappaquidick Flash's lap during the Anita Hill vs Clarence Thomas hearings and I confuse the two.

Speaking of Flashy Ted, did anyone see Mancow's commentary on Fox & Friends Thursday morning?

To Ted's call for more inspections and our need to devellop an "exit strategy" before going in, Mancow shot back, "Yeah, Teddy, here's your exit strategy...Roll down the window and when the water rushes in, you crawl out, swim to shore, and have a few drinks...You Jackass."

Hmmm...sounded to me like they were making fun of the whole thing- comparing it to the last day of the Soviet Union. Last bit the reporterette mentioned was a guy who wanted to put a banner on his roof top saying "welcome USA".

Not a big fan of NPR, but saying they were celebrating "Revolution Day" is like the lefties saying bush was glad he won the "trifecta."

Liberals in the United States did all they could to stop the war on Hitler as well.

Now let's be HONEST. Communists in the US did all ....

[BossLady]

Looks like liberals so hate Bush they will support Saddam. What happens to people???? :o

[mylife]

Sounded like a "mockumentory" to me as well.

I think the word you were looking for was "De-Fund" NPR.

One leads to another.

Either, or.

...sorta like when Grandma turns 90, and the whole family shows up, because there's a good chance there won't be too many more.
