Crossfire: Laura Inghram couldnt answer Carvilles question re: Patriotism.

[maveric]

She was bubbling about repub patriotism and Carville asked her to tell the audience,"What makes you/repubs beter patriots than me/dems?" She just poo, pooed the question and went on about flag lapel pins and dem hatred for them.
Why cant these repug pundits ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!

1. They Know They Have An Idiot In The White House

and they all have to share in the mess this country and world is now.

They don't have a leg to stand on anymore. That's why they blather on about patriotism - it's the only thing they think they have a lock on.

Republicans are such a pathetic lot.

2. Ummm..Patriotism...Ya..I have more..Ya..

Since I was not able to view this episode of "Cross Fire" on CNN -- I could not <b>honestly</b> answer the question. Now, I am an 18 year old guy living in a highly Democratic state, Massachuetts. I find myself more moderate than anything else, as I try to find a "fair and balanced" view on every subject that may pop up. I have seen Inghram before on CNN, FNC, and MSNBC -- she seems to mumble a lot of her answers, and smiles at the end. I believe that is how she gets her point across.

Now as for patriotism, I do not feel any one person has any right to state that "I have more than you." It's true that many people have different types of patriotism, she just cannot explain hers. She is just a very confusing human being. Sometimes I watch a debate with her just to see her make a fool of herself. Quite funny.

She would have dug a hole no Pubbie could get out of.

Or War Profiteers.........

People confuse fighting wars with honoring the principles that this country was founded on.

6. why can't they answer the questions?

Because they are all invovled in spin. The task is to confuse and avoid--actually none know of what they speak--but spinning--now that is the practiced talent. One must LOOK good and speak good-ie be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the ignorant-sound good to those who cannot parse the spin at all. And they will be adored even though what they have said is complete and total nonsense

8. Voluntarily Served My Country For Five Years - Don't Have a Lapel Pin

Faux displays of patriotism do not impress me.

Did Ms. Ingrahm serve her country?

I guess not; that is why she must fake it with a lapel pin.

10. They know they don't have to

Goebbels v2.0 has parasitized the "mainsteram media" beyond the point where it can be effective at uncovering anything not dropped in it's lazy lap.

The Party-Loyal Right-Wing Sub-Media (modeled after Nazi and Soviet medias) is an effective tool to disseminate DoubleSpeak and DoubleThink.

With such basic Tools of Totalitarianism in place, and an ever-swelling group falling under it's sway, Busheviks do not have to explain anything. No lie too great to be whitwashed.

1 + 1 = 3?

If the Busheviks wanted to go that far they could probably get as much as 10% of people to believe it's true.

(they routinely get much bigger "belief percentages" with much more subtle and not-as-easy-to-debunk lies)
