cybildisobedience -- YOU ROCK!!
Just found out it was you who slapped down that lying POS Bossie on CSpan this morning.

You nailed his butt GOOD!!!

Notice how he didn't address your question/concerns. All he did was offer a half ass insult to Joe Conanson.

1. I HEARD that.
Man, Bossie had no way out so he slammed Conason and questioned his journalistic credentials.

Question for Bossie...If Conason lied about your involvement as a dirty trickster than why didn't you or any of your cohorts SUE him?

3. Who is David Bossie?
Who is David Bossie and why should we hate him/her?

Is there a transcript of the exchange?

5. From Joe Conanson's Journal
At Citizens United, the boisterous Brown and his sidekick Bossie are raising money to air their latest video creation, which blasts Kerry for his expensive haircuts and his wife's wealth, tagging him as a "rich elitist liberal from Massachusetts who says he's a man of the people."


Meanwhile, Grassfire.org, a new "grass-roots" outfit overseen by Beltway insider Shirley, has produced an ad that claims Kerry is "more liberal than Ted Kennedy." Aside from "nonpartisan educational" groups like Grassfire, his clients have included the Republican National Committee, the Republican Majority Committee, the American Spectator, the Club for Growth, the Conservative Political Action Committee, the Federalist Society, the National Rifle Association, News World Communications and the Washington Times Foundation.

If the names of Brown and Bossie sound more familiar, they attained notoriety together during the Clinton era as indefatigable promoters of the bogus "Whitewater" scandal. They served as publicity agents for David Hale, the crooked and discredited former Little Rock municipal judge whose allegations against the Clintons forced the appointment of an independent counsel. Among mainstream journalists panting for a career-making Watergate-style scandal, Brown and Bossie found many a gullible mark. For nearly a decade they churned out junk night and day. For a while, Bossie went on the payroll of the Senate Whitewater Committee; later he worked for Rep. Dan Burton's House Committee on Government Operations investigating Clinton and Al Gore -- until he was caught distributing doctored tapes to the media.


Their scorched-earth campaign tactics were epitomized by Brown and Bossie's 1992 paperback broadside "Slick Willie: Why America Can't Trust Bill Clinton." Among the ugliest features of this little pamphlet was a chapter of unsupported and anonymous insinuations about Clinton's role in a female student's suicide. Their "investigation" was later called "an unusually brazen dirty tricks operation" in a report on "CBS Evening News." (In light of recent discussion of the president's National Guard service, the authors may now regret at least one of "Slick Willie's" chapter titles -- "Brave Men Died in Vietnam: Where Was Bill Clinton?")

6. Thanks. Making doctored tapes is pretty foul
As for the bogus "Whitewater" scandal I don't understand why people went to jail for a bogus scandal. How can someone get sent to jail for something that was bogus and didn't exist? Can't they sue for false arrest or something?

I can understand why many would hate Bossie since he tried to investigate president Clinton and used dirty tactics. If it was not for all these people trying to discredit Clinton then Bill could have had the more saintly image he deserved. We Democrats know that Bill was innocent of all the charges against him and he was a true saint and saviour but it seems many other uneducated Americans think he was not as perfect as he was.

7. hmmmmmmmm
don't know what you are trying to say, but no one is claiming that BC was godly, a choir boy, perfect, etc.

He was human.

Period.

8. Hahahahaha!
Even true BC believers don't go on like this. You must have some mistaken belief that we idolize our guys like you do Bush. Simply not true. We don't write poems singing the virtues of our glorious leader either.

What you must not understand is that Dems are much more complex than the one-dimensional stereotypes you find among the Repugs.

If you're gonna fake it, you simply must try harder. :hi:

13. hey, thanks guys....
Just logged on and saw the thread! I've gotten through a few times before -- usually on Fascist Friday -- but I never had this much time to make a point.
And no, Bossie didn't respond to anything other than to characterize me as irrational or whatever.
Jerk.
But thanks anyway!
