Screaming Nazi on Tweety

[PCIntern]

Ya had to have seen this to believe it.

I'm speechless and can't deal with that kind of 'argument'...I'd rather watch Coultergeist.

Sorry...had to vent...anyone else just watch that?

[Adsos Letter]

1. No...who was it?

[imax2268]

2. you mean...

that repuke lackey that was spewing every rightwing talking point in the book...
Yea...i saw that piece of shit...it's a shame that those people get air time of tv...especially sitting next to a Iraq veteran who knows what's really going on...

[Mz Pip]

8. Sad thing was

that this guy was a veteran. One of the ones in the minority that seem to think if we just stay there long enough everything will just be fine. :eyes:

The votevets guy wiped the floor with him when he was given a chance.

3. Wouldn't let the other guy talk at all..

Repuke chimp-licking asshole just kept shouting him down with really ancient RW talking points.

[imax2268]

5. yea...

he must have went to the Sean Hannity school of debate...

"You don't have facts...so talk over them with right wing talking points!"

4. that stooge did not serve his cause well

a blathering idiot for the whole world to see
god i love these silly repukes
they implode so stupendously

[blogslut]

6. So, who was this person?

Anybody?

[annabanana]

7. The Vet that was countering maintained his composure..

Saying "That's a Lie" several times. He came across as rational, if a bit nonplussed by the screamer's methods...

[TahitiNut]

9. Yup. Appalling.

The putrid fascist repeated the bullshit about having a 'deadline' for defeating Hitler ... and TOTALLY FAILED to comprehend that Saddam is dead and the Iraq 'war' was over within 6 weeks of the invasion ... and it's been an OCCUPATION ever since.

That fucking Nazi hasn't the SLIGHTEST comprehension of the war crimes and violations of the Geneva Conventions the U.S. is committing as an occupying military force in Iraq.

That filibustering fascist hadn't the foggiest comprehension that there is NO WAR when there's no possibility of surrender or any OTHER END to the fight.

Appallingly imbecilic bullshit. Totally appalling.

Taking Exception

Reality Check for the Antiwar Crowd

By Pete Hegseth
Monday, June 25, 2007; Page A19


As an Iraq war veteran who participated in combat operations and political reconciliation efforts, I take issue with some of the arguments repeatedly being made on Capitol Hill. Most recently I was bothered by statements from Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who cited three common antiwar arguments in his June 21 op-ed, " Lincoln's Example for Iraq," all of which run counter to realities on the ground in Iraq. ....

Veterans know firsthand that numerous mistakes have been made in the war. But that does not change the unfortunate reality: Iraq today is the front line of a global jihad being waged against America and its allies. Both Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri have said so. ....

In his op-ed, Sen. Levin invoked the example of Abraham Lincoln, who endured years of challenges before finding the right generals and strategy to win the Civil War. After four years of uncertainty in Iraq, America finally has both the general and the strategy to turn the tide. The question is whether 2007 will unfold like 1865 or 1969.

President Lincoln chose to fight a bloody and unpopular war because he believed the enemy had to be defeated. He was right. And to me, that sounds more than a bit like the situation our country faces today. What path will we choose?

13. I loved how Jon Soltz just 'put him on ignore'...

The body language became hilarious. Soltz was focused on speaking directly to Tweety, while the rightwinger was hysterically trying to engage Soltz.
