Anyone hear that asshat Steve Moore on 'Democracy Now' this morning?

[devilgrrl]

Tom Delay was the topic of conversation, here's some of his drivel:

STEPHEN MOORE: It's the Free Enterprise Fund. Thank you for having me. I have known Tom DeLay for 20 years. I think he's one of the most honorable and honest men I have known in politics, and I have known a lot of politicians over the last two decades. I think that this is an orchestrated smear campaign against Tom DeLay. It's being orchestrated by liberal groups who do not agree at all with Tom DeLay's conservative agenda, groups like Common Cause and many of the liberal media, including The Washington Post and The New York Times have a vendetta, I believe, against Tom DeLay. And I think that what's important for your listeners and viewers to understand is that Tom DeLay is an extremely effective leader of the House. Some people think he's the most – the strongest leader in 50 years in the House. He's also a strong conservative, and he promotes a very strong social and economic conservative agenda. That's one of the reasons that liberals, I think, have their claws out for him. And he's right, that he has not been convicted or proven to be in violation of any House rules yet, and yet you’ve got a lot people who want to throw him out, just based on allegations.

1. Poor Tom DeLay. I never knew.

Here I thought he was some kind of monster, and it turns out the poor guy is super honorable and super honest. Unless, of course, that Steve Moore is full of crap.

This just in, Steve Moore, full of crap!

2. Projection

Whenever you hear a conservative saying stuff like this, it's them projecting tactic they've used onto their opponents.

3. Didn't hear him

but he forgot to mention that DeLay is the most corrupt pos in the house.

And he HAS been proven to be unethical. 3 times as a matter of fact.

4. Well if he's so honest and ethical..

then why did they have to change the ethics rules in the house to keep him out of trouble. Every time he gets caught they will move the lines for him. I notice Mr Moore didn't mention that the prosocutor "with a vendetta" has gone after 3 Republicans and 12 Democrats in the last few years. Yeah thats bias in the Bush age alright...

5. I was surprised DN! had such a shill on for so long.

I can see seeking comment from Delay's office, but having this loser on for 20 minutes was a waste of airtime. He was clearly deluded.
