is anyone watching CNN right now...?

[imax2268]

Are these rightwingers for real...?

[LisaM]

1. Why, what's going on?

Don't tease us!

[shoelace414]

2. Yes they are

But I'm not watching it. just answering it anyway.

[VolcanoJen]

3. How about that veteran who just said...

... that Julianne Malveaux (and anyone else, for that matter) are not allowed to criticize the war unless they are veterans who have seen combat action?

Armstrong Jones continues the 9/11-Saddam Link Lies, as well. It's really quite a humorous program.

[shoelace414]

7. you mean like

John Kerry? can he criticize the war he fought in?

[merh]

9. Yeah, that link thing. It was a UP story in WA Times today that

reports that Al Qaeda & Saddam Hussein had a link in the 1990's. I think we had a link with OBL around that time, didn't we? "Specifically, the documents describe Baghdad agreeing to an al-Qaida request to rebroadcast anti-Saudi sermons across Iraq." - the plot thickens! They are strething it - (IMHO).


==============================

Iraq, al-Qaida cooperated in 1990s
Baghdad, Iraq, Jun. 25 (UPI) -- An apparently authentic document from Saddam Hussein's regime confirms cooperation between Iraq and Osama bin Laden, the New York Times reported Friday.

The Iraqi document, obtained by the newspaper several weeks ago and described by U.S. officials as genuine, describes contacts between Iraqi intelligence agents and bin Laden's al-Qaida when he was in Sudan in the mid-1990s.

Specifically, the documents describe Baghdad agreeing to an al-Qaida request to rebroadcast anti-Saudi sermons across Iraq.

(snip)

The U.S. officials who provided the document to the newspaper confirmed they had obtained it from the Iraqi National Congress, which has recently fallen out of favor in Washington.

13. "Obtained it from the Iraqi National Congress" = More Chalabi bullshit...

...probably cooked up by Iranians.

[merh]

27. yeah, these docs must be sooooo credible, but wait ....

the article even states ". . . Iraqi National Congress, which has recently fallen out of favor in Washington."

geeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Guaranteed]

22. I think people shouldn't be able to START wars unless they're

combat veterans (that's right, I'm talking about YOU, Bushco).

[Reciprocity]

29. Well then that leaves Bush out. n/t

[playahata1]

31. That's Armstromg WILLIAMS.

Either way, he is a sniveling sellout prick.

[spanone]

38. Armstrong is a complete Idiot.

[imax2268]

4. you got this one fool...

continuing to claim that Saddam had something to do with 9/11 and linked to Al-Qaeda and keeps throwing referrences to 9/11 as a means to justify the war in Iraq...

[imax2268]

5. exactly...

I respect all vets and what they fought for...but to say that we can't speak our minds is bullshit...!

[Guaranteed]

25. They're really desperate. nt

[imax2268]

6. Hey...

who's the guy hosting the show that looks like he's coked out...?

[MissB]

8. I don't know but he looked awfully scared there for a second

Just before he cut to break. The informal poll didn't work too well, did it?

Not too many people raised their hands when he asked whether or not the Iraq war was justified. He didn't even bother to really comment on it. The clips of the audience that they showed didn't provide much in the way of support for Bush's War.

[Kimber Scott]

11. I think the RW is getting much more air time.

The entire argument is the 9/11 - Hussein connection, which doesn't exist. This is insane. How did they pick this panel?

[59millionmorons]

10. I loved when they asked the question about Saddam and Bin Laden

They asked if there was a connection and about three people raised there hands.

[imax2268]

12. this guy

is a crackpot...typical rightwinger...

[59millionmorons]

14. The crowd is 95% against Bush

This crowd is definitly on our side.

[imax2268]

18. That college kid...

just leveled Armstrong with that question...

[VolcanoJen]

15. "Armstrong, like President Bush, you are callous and cold to our troops!"

Awesome!!!

[moondust]

16. They had one of these in Europe yesterday.

CNN cheerleading for Bushwar. Blaming the French and Germans for dividing Europe, etc. After 15 minutes I had to turn it off.

[Kimber Scott]

21. The one they had called "Arab Pulse" was pretty good.

Of course, the first half of the audio was missing from the show because CNN said they were hit by lightening. What I did hear was very enlightening.

[Kimber Scott]

17. When we talk the truth we're just angry, huh?

I hope they keep the heat up on these fucking bastards. Yes, I'm ANGRY. I'm wild-eyed. Watch me get worse, if this shit doesn't get straightened out quick.

[AlCzervik]

19. Armstrong Williams is a fool

and that woman is kicking his ass.

[imax2268]

20. Breaking News...

hmmmmm...I wonder...BushCo was getting the shit knocked out of him on that show and all of a sudden..."Breaking News"...we "MAY" have gotten Zarquowi...

Don't interupt if they got the son of a bitch...come on...!

[VolcanoJen]

24. Yes, CNN breaks in to say "We ALMOST got Zarqawi!!"

And close only counts in horseshoes, and, uhhh, hand grenades...

[59millionmorons]

30. If they get Zarqawi they will have a new leader in ten minutes.

Getting one person means nothing.

John McCain

[Kimber Scott]

32. Well, it might have been him. He wasn't wearing a name tag!

LOL! Terrorists with name tags?

[VolcanoJen]

40. I just heard that!! CNN Reports Zarqawi "Wasn't wearing a name tag."

WTF???? :shrug:

HELLO!
My Name Is
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

[KoKo]

41. ROFL Jen!....Hello! My Name is Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!

:D

[VolcanoJen]

42. I'm JUST SAYIN'!!!

CNN and the Coalition "SpokesModel" are each simply ridiculous.

I grow more embarrassed each day.

[imax2268]

23. Max Cleland up now...

[imax2268]

26. who's the little

blonde master race kid who is shilling for BushCO...?

[Kimber Scott]

28. Iraqis willing to fight with us (on our side) to make this work?

Well, shit Sherlock. It is their country isn't it? Except I remember somebody saying yesterday, 10% of the police force in Iraq consists of insurgents, 30% of their Army runs away when it's time to fight.

I agree with the fact we broke Iraq we have to fix it, but there is no reason to continue to delude ourselves about this war.

[MissB]

33. Wow. "who here thinks the world needs American leadership"

Very few hands were raised.

Just wow.

[imax2268]

34. This show just keeps getting better...

where do they get these people that shill for BushCo...these people amaze me...

Oh..."I was home before they called victory"...so you were safe and sound when all hell broke loose and now you have no idea of what's going on right now...they have no plan dipshit...they never did...get a clue...!

[imax2268]

35. Why is it...

that when someone who disagrees with BushCo and the war are having microphone trouble...

[Kimber Scott]

36. Would Americans have stomach and COURAGE to fight this war again?

What? And this war was pre-empted by 22 years of terrorism against the US? By who? Saddam? No. We were supplying Saddam with WMD back then. God help us.

[robpopulace]

37. WTF??

Are they filming this in a mall courtyard?? Next time, try the unemployment office. See if they want to sacrifice their lives for an illegitimate war.

[Kimber Scott]

39. Seems most of the audience is against the war.

Only the moderator and the RW guests seem to be for it.

Zogby was great.
