Last Week It Was The MoveOn Ad - This Week Amadinajad's Visit.....
and talk at Columbia. The Repugs don't really have anything good to talk about so they pick these silly arguments and get their talking heads to keep pounding on MSM until they have the people whipped to a frenzy about these silly issues.

Why don't they feel as strongly about our men and women dying in Iraq and try and do everything they can to get them home.

I just don't get it.

1. You're right. They're killing the messengers and paying no heed
to what the message might be, because they can't. There's no way the rethugs will willingly address their complicity in Iraq or Iran, so they go full court press on anything but. The media is their willing conduit.
But it's always 'someone else's fault.' They've learned their lessons well.

2. Got to always have something going on in the Three-Ring Circus. Got to have someplace
for the audience to look at all times. Never let it stop or they'll have a chance to think and know it's not real.

3. Anything to keep us from talking about the war
Prep yourself. Ahmadinejad is going to spur a resolution similar to the one Petraeus got. This one will condemn Columbia University for allowing the Iranian leader to speak. And will 22 Democrats vote for it? Nope. This time more than 22 will reveal how spineless they are.

Sure hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

5. I think it's great that Columbia U is hosting this talk...

For the university it's about allowing Americans to hear what he has to say WITHOUT MEDIA FILTERS ~ what an outlandish idea!
