4. Is that the "author" Dick Cheney?
He was on Leno last week and that's what it said in the TV listings, "author" Dick Cheney. I had to check it out, wondering if there was some "author" with the same name... :crazy:

If I wanted a speedy trial for war crimes, it would be FOR him.

Be careful what you wish for, Dick.

23. Obama needs to be primaried not cause of anything Cheney said - but because of his actions
as a horrible fake democratic president. just cause he has a D beside his name don't mean he is one - his actions say quite the opposite. mr war. mr i love the big banks, wall street, and corporate america, but fuck protecting the environment, lets have more smog and tar sands - no, Obama is the problem here - has been for a long time now.

44. You come across as very hostile
You agree with Dick Cheney on the political opinion that President Obama needs a primary opponent. How does the opinion you share with Dick Cheney and all right wing republicans that the President should not be re-elected support your opinion that he is a right wing tool? If he is simply a republican pawn, why would the republicans beat him down at every opportunity? People like you, it seems, are much more like tools used by republicans to attack the president and achieve their end.

46. I'm passionate
and so what if i share an opinion with cheney - he maybe likes eating fish like i do too. Obama needs to be primaried because he is a horrible president who has betrayed all progressives and sides with mega corporations and the big banks and the ultra-rich - not the other 98% of the country. he's a sad excuse for a leader, and an even sadder excuse for a man.

if Dick Cheney thinks a primary is a good thing then it must be a horrid thing.

why does Cheney think a primary challenge to Obama is a good thing?

(Hint: it's not because it would "push Obama left")

32. He's hoping it'll cause even more Democrats to stay home in 2012 compared to 2010.
If so many people want a primary challenger and get it only to lose to Obama, you can bank that they would be even less thrilled to come out and vote holding their noses otherwise.

31. I think one is supposed to ask why Cheney wants a Democratic primary.
Edited on Tue Sep-06-11 03:49 AM by BzaDem
You are correct that in the abstract, just because Cheney wants something doesn't NECESSARILY imply that we should not want it.

But if we dig a bit deeper, and ask the question "WHY does Cheney want a primary," the answer for this particular question should lead people to rethink the wisdom of primarying Obama.

27. So now I have one more reason to hate that bastard (like I needed one).
Because I'm in favor of a primary challenge to Obama. Now I'm going to get flamed by the Obama apologists for being as on the same side as Dick Cheney! They are already doing it, in fact. And I bet he knows it...sheesh, talk about a spoiler! He is just cynical and evil enough to use the fact that he's probably the most hated man in America to crap all over the possibility of real change.

33. that ranks with Dick Cheney's comment that Fox News is the most accurate of all the news services
reporting on Iraq. I suspect that most right-wingers actually believe almost everything they say. At least in their own minds they are probably being true to their own convictions. Dick Cheney stands out as an exception. I don't believe for one single second that he believes for one single second hardly anything he says. Very few people in this world are consciously and intentionally evil. Even Stalinist and Nazis genuinely were genuinely convinced in their own minds that they were on the side of right. Dick Cheney I suspect is like Mr. Burns of the Simpsons. A genuinely conscious sociopath who is willfully evil and knows it and likes being that way.
