Unbelievable

[wtf]

Fox cutaway from the Clarke testimony for a story on him with the headline: "flip-flopper?"

I SHIT YOU NOT.

This is great, this is the kind of thing that even a lot of hardcore * supporters and Fox News supporters will see through. Things really ARE falling apart. It's all coming down, finally.

This is a great day and god bless the bravery of Richard Clarke and others like him.

1. Clarke is not alone - he has corroboration on this

The transcript presented may have just been his being a good soldier. But as posted elsewhere, Clarke had told his current story to Time Mag as early as Aug 4, 2002.

I read the transcript again, and looked at some of the other posts on the board, and don't see this transcript so damaging as some have presented.

2. Journalistic excellence at its finest

faux is doing its job to keep the slowly shrinking base intact. Fair and balanced would be showing his sworn testimony to the country then politicizing the issue after the fact by people identified as editorialists, but I digress to the choir.

3. Fox is Soviet Pravda pure and simple

Roger Ailes would have, economic disputes aside, felt just as comfortable doing this job for Joe Stalin.

6. Roger Ailes is a republican-hater! Check this out!

5. Whoa! Why don't you dial it down to mike100 before engaging

foxnews?

[Sequoia]

7. Oh really? And where do you get your information?

Are you sure you're on the same page as the rest of us?

[Dhalgren]

8. Easy there, Bubba.

You on the right board?

[orwell]

9. Whole Truth

If the "whole truth" were told about 9/11 a significant number of the current administration would be led away in chains.

11. What the hell are you babbling about? Too many Hurricanes at O'briens?

:eyes:

18. Hey, lets be easy on the French Quarter

I enjoy the libations at my favorite watering hole (Tropical Isle) and I have no doubt bush, cheney, rumsfeld etc are the liars in this drama. And I also have no doubt lil condi has something to hide. Mr Clarke is articulate and a man of integrity. In other words, a bad fit for the current residents administration.

And I'll drink to that.

[mike1963]

30. HEE....I like 'em too! Don't manage to get down to the B.E. near often

enough!
:D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. welcome to DU...what is your version of the whole truth?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

20. nsma...it's a drive by...he won't reply.......

[arcane1]

13. Bush is the liar, Bush is the failure

let's get Bush, The Dick, Condi, and Donny-boy on the stand

oh wait, they're fighting to avoid testifying

why would they do that? :shrug:

[w13rd0]

14. Bales of laughter...

...worried much?

Who can we trust to tell the truth? Certainly not Bush, and Condi won't appear. Those of us with more journalistic integrity than Faux News have actually already looked up and cross-referenced Clarke's statements with corroborating information. The Bush administration had its pants around their ankles when bin Laden struck, and then they tried to capitalize on the tragedy out of sheer political opportunism to score tax cuts and no-bid contracts for friends and family. Bush and his entire cabal are traitors, and they should score for themselves a traitors reward.

31. you may be right, but Dana Bash is running with it, too

waved around a piece of paper she got from the pugs.....think it was a transcript

they're going to go BIG with this with the talking heads

slimemold Rich Lowry (man, I wish he'd fought Al Franken in that parking lot!) was on Faux, SMIRKING as only he can---he annoys me more than just about anybody---about how screwed Clarke is

[librechik]

15. haha, oh very short one

I guess all you can do is make personal attacks, since the facts are not in your quiver.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. Welcome and seee yaaa!!!!

[mike1300]

19. What's with all the hate mail??

Can't anyone express their opinion ...???
I just have a problem trusting politicians ....
no matter what party they belong to ...

[arcane1]

21. why is Clarke such a failure

and not Bush and his Dick? They are the ones who ignored him, after all...

[CatWoman]

22. you are not expressing an opinion

you are disrupting the conversation.

[mike1963]

23. Clarke is not and never has been a politician. He has been a dedicated

civil servant through the last FOUR admininstrations.
I don't think you're stupid...



But I could be wrong.

[Bridget Burke]

24. So, you've read Clark's book.

Please, favor us with your opinion. Definitely, critique any major points with which you disagree.

This is the first speaker at the investigation you have a problem with?

[Submariner]

25. We don't trust them either Mike

but we have the evidence to corroborate this career civil servant's testimony. If you have proof to refute it, we would love to see it because don't we all want the TRUTH?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

First it's not hate mail.

Second Mr Clark is not nor has he ever been a politician. Third when we get posts like yours it usually comes from right wing lurkers. If you're not one cool. If you are I don't think you'll be here long, that's all.

[still_one]

27. There is no question no matter what you think of Clarke

Bush and Cheney do not want full questioning, and Rice will not even attend.

Bush let the ball drop, this has been reinforced by Hart and rudmann, and many others

[w4rma]

28. Clarke isn't a politician. He is an appointee.

He was appointed by Reagan, Bush, Sr., Clinton and Bush, Jr. to his post.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

29. If Clarke were a politician rather than a counterterrorism specialist

your point might be relevent.

[TXlib]

33. Bye Bye mike1300! Already tombstoned by post #4!

Freeper Motel... The Freepers check in, but they don't check out!

[still_one]

17. I was listening on satellite radio and heard that too

This is fair and balanced?

[Ganja Ninja]

26. Of course they did a cutaway.

Don't worry once they have his testimony on tape and they can edit it for the correct spin they will replay it.

[billybob537]

32. The truth hurts

They hate the truth more than the Clinton's.
