So Libby was an anti-war Dem before Wolfowitz got into his head?

[Catch22Dem]

Per Olbermann. I find that very disturbing. He couldn't have been very stong in his convictions if that's the case.

1. Considering the Blame Liberals crowd...

is always carrying on about liberal professors damaging the minds of students, the danger seems to be in the other direction.

[Catch22Dem]

2. No kidding, good point! (n/t)

10. This will be the next meme, because they had roots as "radical liberals"

before they turned to the dark side. I NEVER understood that arguement, hoever, because what they espoused never had anything to do with liberal or progressive ideals. They just were labeled a certain way, like the Socialist Workers Party Hitler took over.

[No Exit]

3. I know I'm going to offend someone with this, but

if you read paleocon websites, you'll see that they emphasize that the NEOCONS actually had roots in something far more "liberal" than the current repukelican party.

I think the parties we know are irrelevant to the neocons. I think they move from party to party, according to which one they think they can get the most out of--sort of like parasites moving from host to host.

Also, on www.needlenose.com recently, I read that neocons like to have CELLS within various government agencies. For example, though the Secretary of State (Colin Powell) clearly was not a neocon, they had a cell within the State Department.

CELLS. CELLS. CELLS OF NEOCONS. Just like TERRORISTS!

5. Doesn't offend me at all

Because you're right, they ARE like terrorist cells.

[No Exit]

7. Right! Those who fear terrorism should fear */Cheney, because

they really are the biggest, worst, terrorists of all!

[MrBenchley]

4. Yeah, he didn't leave the party, the party left him (snicker)

So many of these right wing pieces of shit (including Reagan himself) try to make this claim...

[merbex]

6. They are all connected through Richard Perle and the late Democratic

Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson

I remember reading somewhere that Jackson's papers were rifled through; Jackson was well known as a "hawk" who was always saying the Soviets were way ahead of us in weapons systems

[arewenotdemo]

8. Yeah, there's an incredible connection to Jackson

What's more, these monsters are almost all incestuously connected at the hip by marriage.

BTW, let's never forget the MAJOR role that Wolfowitz played in getting this war on. That war criminal may have jumped ship early but he needs to pay as dearly as any of them!

[bbgrunt]

9. he didn't really jump ship--

he just moved to a world perspective and has been put in place at the world bank to manage the infiltration there.

[arewenotdemo]

11. True. I'm just afraid that he's going to survive this.

It horrifies me to read how he's not a neocon ideologue, but concerned about world poverty, etc.

Like DOCTOR Kissinger, he's bathed in the blood of innocents. And I fear that like Kissinger, DOCTOR Wolfowitz will only do time earning millions as a political analyst or consultant.

That rat has to be caught.
