Tony Snow: A Vote For Lamont Is A Vote For Another 9/11

At a press briefing moments ago, Tony Snow claimed that last night’s Connecticut Senate primary gave voters the chance to answer the question, “Do you take the war on terror seriously?” Snow said that Connecticut voters who backed Ned Lamont (and the 57 percent of Americans who support his position on Iraq) were choosing to “ignore the difficulties and walk away.” That is the same approach, he said, that led Osama bin Laden to the conclusion “that Americans were weak and wouldn’t stay the course and that led to September 11th.”

[unpossibles]

1. wtf

and here I thought Bush was "in charge" on 9/11/01

silly me. I am so sick of these lying scumbag pigf*ckers.

[liberaldemocrat7]

66. Tell Tony Snow to stuff it. Mail this to him and the press.

[alstephenson]

2. What a complete jerk (eom)

[Atman]

21. Huh?

"Complete jerk?"

You need to learn to cuss some, boy! He surpassed Jerkdom ages ago, and is well advanced into full-on #$#@($*@!-dom!

[VolcanoJen]

3. Tony Snow is whack.

I was watching that press briefing:

Tony Snow: "This is a defining moment for the Democratic Party."

That's a very extreme way of spinning it. Only the most extreme, rabid Bush hangers-on are buying into that kind of crap, but it's all they've got, so I'm sure we haven't heard the last of that rather sickening mantra.

[d_b]

4. Not going to work this year,

dipshit.

[Cha]

43. Those dipshits have been

throwing out that line for 5 years and the media backs them up and all of a sudden joe bushenabler loses the Dem primary after 18 years in the Senate and he out spent Lamont!

[helderheid]

72. and the NEXT DAY they foil a plot...

[Karmadillo]

5. And child molestation.

nt

[Skidmore]

6. Hey, Tony, your boy was in charge when 9/11 happened.

He spent a whole year ignoring the world and playing "president." Takes more than a suit and a teleprompter to do that job well.

[killbotfactory]

7. 60% of Americans disagree

fuck off with this "war on terror" bullshit. people ain't buying it anymore.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. Tony Snow can go bite the wang.

Nobody's listening anymore. Even the fabled 30% are becoming more skeptical by the day.

These fuckers can't keep crying wolf; after all, they weren't even crying "chihuahua" when 9/11 ACTUALLY happened.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. And I also heard that Lamont tortures Baby Kittens for fun.

:hi:

[Hugin]

18. Ned Lamont stole my shoe!

:hi:

[flakey_foont]

10. is Tony on crack???

what a moranic thing to say! Just my two cents, but we wouldn't have to worry about what Osama bin Laden thinks if we HAD CAUGHT HIM BY NOW!!!!!!!

[Iniquitous Bunny]

11. 9/11 happened on Bush's watch.

Some of us haven't forgotten what Richard Clarke and others have said about just how well Bush listened in early 2001 to warnings of an impending attack. Nice try, Snowball, but supporting a war (What's the latest reason they say we went there again?) in a country that did not attack us leading to the deaths of thousands of civilians and young Americans alike does not make one tough on anything. Bush got us into another Vietnam and it's time to get out.

[bananarepublican]

64. After just three months in office JFK took full responsibility for the...

... Bay of Pigs disaster. Something he inherited from non other than Richard Milhouse Nixon. Ask any freepturd who is responsible for 9-11 and they'll likely finger Clinton.

Kennedy fired the incompetents within his administration most responsible for the failure of the invasion whereas Bush promoted the idiots who twiddled their thumbs whilst the country came under attack.

You can't help but think that Bush was in fact rewarding his bozo underlings for a job well done!

[Rex]

12. HA! I knew it! Throwing away all pretense of moderation! Watch now

for the total RW loons to crawl out from under their rocks and give their 3 cents! Fascism, public and in our faces! Keep it up you racist asshole! There won't be ONE Repuke in Congress...hahaha...

KEEP IT UP, GOODJOB TONY! idiot.

[savemefromdumbya]

13. Tony Snow IS Osama Bin Ladin (without the beard)

[flobee1]

14. Hey, Tony!

” That is the same approach, he said, that led Osama bin Laden to the conclusion “that Americans were weak and wouldn’t stay the course and that led to September 11th.”
Didn't you ever wonder if thats Osama's version of "bring em on"?


Osama-I bet you'll never stretch your troops thin trying to fight me in the middle east!
Bush Admin-Oh yes we will!!

same frickin trick I used to laugh at when bugs bunny duped Elmer fudd when I was a kid

[InternalDialogue]

15. Tony, I take terrorism seriously...

which is why I have no respect for the thick-headed response to it by this administration.

An administration that took terrorism as seriously would have pursued and apprehended bin Laden and not invaded and occupied Iraq instead.

[Der Blaue Engel]

16. Isn't this highly irregular?

Since when do WH press secretaries make statements about Democratic primaries? There has to be a way to stop this bullshit.

[hootinholler]

57. Screw irregular, Isn't it illegal?

He's on our dime campaign speechifying and stuff from a Government owned office.

-Hoot

[Skinner]

17. What an ass. (nt)

[FormerDittoHead]

36. you stole my line n/t

[karlrschneider]

19. He's just doing his job

being a lying asshole for big bucks.
:eyes:

[katty]

20. tony, tony, tony why don't YOU drag your ass to Iraq?

[HuskerDU]

22. Yeah, New Yorkers voted for another 911 when the cast their

votes OVERWHELMINGLY for Kerry. They are the main target, they know who can protect them.

[The Count]

41. Which is why Homeland security diverted our funds to corn fields in

Missouri - of course NY-ers should have supported the BFEE in order to get protection - it's the law of the street.

[malaise]

23. The Democratic party should ask if that is a

threat. The fascist gloves are off.

[tinfoil tiaras]

24. Ass. Hole. a. major. one. nt.

[Nutmegger]

25. Sick bastards.

:puke:

[Homer Wells]

26. And here I thought Tony was the Press Secretary

Turns out he is spokesman for the Ministry of Propaganda!!
:sarcasm:

[Cha]

27. A vote for republiCons is a vote for

another 9/11..tony snow can't admit that, of course..but it happens to be true. That's who was minding the store when 9/11 fucking happened and that's still who's minding the store and we still don't have the perpetrator of 9/11. Who ever the hell that was?

[goclark]

37. You got that right! Tony want to be the head CON now I see. nt

[donkeyotay]

28. I knew it! Libruls caused 9-11

that led Osama bin Laden to the conclusion “that Americans were weak and wouldn’t stay the course and that led to September 11th.”

See, it's you antiwar protestors who haven't stayed the course that retroactively caused Osama to attack because he knew the preznit would have gottem him dead or alive, so it's your fault.

:crazy:

It's what's happened since 9-11 that's caused the US to sink so low, even after THE POPULAR WARTIME PRESIDENT was given unlimited power and money... well, frat boy still blew it. . . unless you think Armageddon is proceding nicely.

[bobbolink]

29. Well, *now* I'm scared....

not...

Geeeeeez, how thin is that?!

[Swamp Rat]

30. A vote for republicans is a vote for the end of the world.

[Rex]

33. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Tony Headroom - 'fffffffafafafair and balanced'. *Smile*

[Swamp Rat]

52. Ha-ha-hhaa-have s-s-ss-some kkkool-ai-ai-aid!

[guinivere]

31. *sigh* I can't believe they are going to dust off the old

Terra TERRA! Osama's under the bed head for the hills bs again. :eyes:

Besides, that idiot pretzeldent has written the book on ignoring the difficulties and walking away. Just check his military records, for starters.

[Gatchaman]

32. Every person in that room should have gotten up and walked out en masse

There's simply no excuse for tony snow's ridiculous behavior.

[tsuki]

34. He still works for Faux News. nt

[bigtree]

35. no. that would be for the republican reich-wing whose president

presided over the period, and took our forces away from the hunt to conquer hapless Iraq.

[walldude]

38. Snow is Lewis Prothero...

If you don't get the reference see V For Vendetta..

[HannibalBarca]

70. Actually

Bill O'Lielly always reminded me of Prothero.

[The Count]

39. Didn't Joementum use that talking point? Hmmm, I wonder why.

In case you missed it, he said that those not voting for him forgot 911.

[BlueEyedSon]

40. Wasn't a REPUBLICAN administration in command on 9/11?

i forget.....

[Hugin]

44. Well, not really...

They've been AWOL.

[Hugin]

42. My reply:

"A vote for Lieberman is a vote for another Iraq."

Disprove that one...

[BuyingThyme]

45. Yes, vote for the people who created a terror state in Iraq.

Fucking morans. I hate fucking morans. Fucking morans suck.

[Beaverhausen]

46. Did any reporter actually point out that 57 percent oppose the Iraq war?

Did they say anything?

[fishwax]

47. it's a sure sign of desperation

i mean, they've played the "terra" card every chance they've had since, oh, somewhere around september 12, 2001. But the shriller they are about it, the more desperate they are.

Guess what, tony: the country doesn't buy it anymore, just like they don't buy this bullshit war.

[elehhhhna]

[elehhhhna]

49. We'll fight Bush over HERE, so the world doesn't have to fight him over

there.

[Hugin]

50. Nice!

:thumbsup:

[flordehinojos]

51. i really wonder if the bush apostasy (as lucian bohne has so rightly

referred to them) is planning another 911 attack on us just so that they can cancel any national elections and for "the sake of the country and our safety" hold on to their power grab and blame the democrats of it.

democrats ought to be making a stink about the possibility that the bush apostasy may be dreaming about doing just that.

[stepnw1f]

53. Is That Why 9-11 Happened on Bush's Watch?

What an idiot.

[conflictgirl]

54. Wow, that seems like a really pathetic low blow

It's ridiculous the lengths to which they're trying to go to SCARE people away from change.

Seeing as how bin Laden attacked BEFORE the Iraq war, I don't think we can claim that the Iraq war prevented anything. And even though too many people still think that Iraq was somehow responsible for 9/11, more people are waking up and seeing that the war is turning into a fiasco. They're just dragging out the old 9/11 bogeyman again to try to scare us all back into line. I hope it doesn't work.

[90-percent]

55. weakness?

WTF!!!!!

I think the most obscene act of weakness from the United States in the last 60 years was invading a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, in retaliation for 9/11.

It showed how fearful and moronic the USA is that we would support such a cretinous strategy.

Fortunately, it seems like our citizenry is starting to wake up to the fact that we invaded Iraq for bogus irrational reasons. In fact, we're starting to realize we went in mostly because of the severe psychological disorders of the neocon wing of the executive branch of the US government.

-85% Jimmy

[tuvor]

56. It's like they consider Lieberman to be a Republican or something.

[laylah]

58. He is SUCH

an anti-American, unpatriotic, Constitution hating, bottom feeding, ASSHOLE...but then, look who his boss is :puke:

[speedoo]

59. Fucking idiot. Totally inappropriate comment from the WHPS.

Oh, but this is the * misadministration and they don't give a fuck.

Sorry. I forgot what we are dealing with here.

[WCGreen]

60. I believe that was Reagan who cut and ran after 200 plus

American Marines were killed in Beruit...

[Theres-a]

61. Asshole

[readmoreoften]

62. Good thing Bush is hot on Osama's tail.

Oh wait, we stopped caring about Al Qaida. It's the Democrats who are the REAL problem.

[w8liftinglady]

63. Ok,after a few beers,I just want to say F^ck him....and those he speaks 4

[MagickMuffin]

65. Checking the Memory Hole

From the TRANSCRIPT

There seems to be two approaches, and in the Connecticut race, one of the approaches is ignore the difficulties and walk away. Now, when the United States walked away, in the opinion of the Osama bin Laden in 1991, bin Laden drew from that the conclusion that Americans were weak and wouldn’t stay the course and that led to September 11th.

If my memory serves me correctly Poppy Bush was president in 1991. So, what exactly is Tony "Yellow" Snow saying?
Is he blaming Mad king Boy George's father?

I suppose with the close relationship to the bin Laden's, it's no wonder they aren't concerned about hunting him down. That would be bad for their business interests.

March 2002 Press Conference: Q But don't you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I say, we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.

[helderheid]

69. good finds.

[glitch]

67. Telegraphing their moves again. nt

[helderheid]

68. This statement is even more telling with the new "terror scare"

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

71. "Falling dominoes" redux.

Anybody remember the "Falling dominoes" we were threatened with if we didn't back the slaughter in SE Asia? Vietnam, then Laos, then Cambodia, then Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, India, until the next Dominoe was San Diego?

They never learn.

[tbyg52]

73. Have some pity on the poor guy...

...it's all he's got. :sarcasm:

[KingFlorez]

74. What?!

I'm not a big Lamont fan, but stuff like this makes me angry. Just because Lamont is liberal, Dummy Snow makes out like it's dangerous to elect him.

[upi402]

75. Fox; THE propagandagan for neocon WH, now merged

[flyarm]

76. hey tony.. a vote by the supreme court was a vote for the real 9/11!!

and killing of my co-workers and neighbors..

this is bullshit..shove it back people and shove it back big time!! and with everything you have..the truth!!

fly

[Jed Dilligan]

77. Awful surprising, ain't it...

When one, ONE candidate who is against the war, wins a PRIMARY in the more heavily anti-war party, in a supposed democracy where SIXTY PERCENT of people oppose the war.

Right.

Osama bin Laden is a social psychologist who spends his time measuring and studying the "resolve" of the "American people." His successes have had nothing to do with studying holes in our security systems--no. It was our readily demonstrable lack of moral fiber that led him to conclude he could attack us.

Yup.

Now, to atone for our effeminate ways, we can all go save Private Ryan in a remake of World War II where the enemies are easily identifiable by their brown skin and big noses and the purpose of the war is not homeland defense but national character-building.

Hooray.
