| Olbypocrisy | Posted – 10/24/2007 10:50:55 PM | show profile "since CNN has spent weeks promoting Planet in Peril they must hace started the fires to increase viewers and ratings" crimedog and Olbermann would say thats something Fox News would do. I'm saying its a shame that liberals have to take advantage of tragedies like this.Liberals will do anything to push their agendas. |

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats? comprehensive energy package. Next, it was famous liberal Randi Rhodes' turn to up the ante and she came through with flying colors. Rhodes says Blackwater employees may have had a role in the fires themselves: RHODES: I started just doing Google searches to try and figure out. You know, arson, arson, it was like crazy trying to figure out why is that being downplayed? Why is that, you know, just a small part of the story? And you know, every time I look for it what comes up, believe it or not, is that Blackwater wants to move to San Diego and build this giant complex in San Diego right where most of the evacuations are taking place and you know. You just know wherever there is fire, this administration will be out there doing what it does best and that is fanning the flames, you know. It just spooks me, I can?t explain to you how creepy this whole thing is that you know, you?ve got these fires. Some of them are thought to be the work of arsonists and in the same breath you?ve got a community that?s on fire that just recently protested Blackwater West. Just recently said no to Blackwater and apparently you don?t do that. I mean, I don?t even know what to think. You know, nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn?t want their house burned down. Nobody is saying that, but it is all so bizarre that this is America and you have to sort of sit there and wonder ? arson, same place Blackwater West wants to be, people protesting. And then you find out that some of the guys that used to work for Blackwater are now in Schwarzenegger?s administration. It?s all so creepy. Finally, not to be outdone, liberal Mike Malloy took his own rhetoric miles above the previous day's, now blaming the "Bush Crime Family" for actually starting the fires ! Shame on liberal Democrats. |

An investigative journalist investigates and journalizes. Great reporters expose lies, investigates government reports and claims, put themselves in harms way to get the truth, and exposes utter crap. Republicans like to accuse liberals of pushing issues and values through the use of alarmism as if conservatives don't. Cheney and Giuliani have had contreversial statements in the past that have amounted to voting democrat only if you want to die in a fiery hellish explosion. And George Bush is a purely partisan, petty, pompous, nincampoop. His whole reign as president has been about pushing his allies and attacking those who disagree with him. It's why the Homeland Security claimed Indiana had the most legitimate terrorist targets. The report said Indiana had 8,591 targets including a petting zoo, a rest stop, and a rural skating rink. It said New York was third an only had 5,687 not including The Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge. The Gas City Petting Zoo is a potential terrorist target, but the Statue of Liberty isn't? After being elected governor, George Bush said to an aid "The blacks didn't come out for me like the hispanics did, so they're not going to see much help from me." George Bush doesn't consider himself President of the United States. He considers himself President of the Republican Party. He'll help them and to hell with the rest. He doesn't have a Democrat in his cabinet, being I believe the only President without at least one other party advisor. Ann Coulter was asked his/her idea of heaven. She said like New York during the Republican National Convention. The greatest city on Earth, filled with Republicans. I think George Bush agrees with that. Democrats will all burn in hell and there's no point in even listening to them. They're not even real Americans, they want Americans to loose in Iraq and die in terrorist attacks! |
| newfrickinshow | Posted – 10/26/2007 4:08:56 PM | show profile On top of that I thought the book said "Judge not, lest ye be judged." If you would like to look it up, it's Mathew 7:1. In case the passage isn't clear enough or too heavy for you, saying Democrats will burn in hell or Repulicans will go to heaven is a sin. When did Murtha smear innocent soldiers? And what the hell is the problem with Mutha and Kerry. Too many medals? You GOP biased fools like to say you support the troops. Until they disagree with you, then they're phony soldiers. Iraq veterans are to be respected and treated with honor...Until they run for office as a Democrat; then they must be destroyed at all costs! |
