Rep. Hinchey now on CNN: Rove's role in "Rathergate"

[oasis]

Judy will interview the congressman from NY who claims Karl Rove set up CBS in the "Bush AWOL phony document" story.

[cthrumatrix]

1. CNN is there to "kill the story" and do Rove talking points

[fertilizeonarbusto]

2. I hope Woof-woof tries to gets cute

and gets bitch-slapped for her troubles...

[berner59]

6. I like this guy...

Like his style... Judy is nervous...but but...this is in your imagination...right????

This guy doesn't let up...he says this needs to be investigated... Says it IS responsible for him to speculate...Congress is not doing its job...

Judy says WH- no comment...

18. Sounds like we've got us a leader in the making.

[Stephanie]

3. The fact that he is willing to be interviewed on this is excellent

He is standing up and speaking out and it's a great day, no matter how the news whores try to spin it. The Boxer Rebellion continues!

4. "Wouldn't be surprised since Rove is involved in past dirty tricks."

he says.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

7. You know?

Karl rove's sliminess should be trumpeted everywhere. let him prove he's an angel. What's going to do, fuck us up? He's doing that already.

10. The more exposure of Bush's criminal inner circle, the better.(eom)

[oasis]

5. Judy, the journalist that she is, challenges Hinchey's sourcing.

[blm]

9. Unlike JUDY'S sourcing..."Some say..." What a RW tool she is.

Can you believe she is STILL using the "Some say" horseshit?

[oasis]

11. Rove must have a file on Judy, or on her husband, Al Hunt.

[lasttrip]

12. really. they must be called on it everytime

like dean did. even if it takes up the whole "interview".

[blm]

8. Hinchey was GREAT. I am DOWN with him voicing MY concerns over the media

manipulation by BushInc..... and DAMN the media who allows it.

14. He Was Terrific

Woodfluff simply couldn't get the upper hand in the interview and there was no way he was backing down. She tried that "some people say" junk several times to no avail. She couldn't even stop him from talking until he was finished. First Dean, now him. It must be catching...

[oasis]

15. Hinchey managed to slip in a mention of Armstrong Williams and Gannon.

He's making a case that there is a continuing pattern of WH propaganda orchestrated by Rove.

[Me.]

24. That Was Great

I also liked when she asked him if he had any proof and he said (para phasing) that it wasn't hard to make an educated guess given Rove's history of dirty tricks, what they did to McCain being a good example. He was so good, kept going back to his main point and not letting himself being distracted by her mimsy questions.

[AP]

16. I just have to say, "DUHHHH!!!"

If there's any better sign that this is what happened it's that the media STUDIOUSLY avoided pursuing this VERY OBVIOUS angle when the story came out.

This is one of the OBVIOUS avenues any investigative journalist should have pursued when reporting on this story.

However, the only place you could find people asking that OBVIOUS question was here at DU.

The same goes for this Doug Weed-Smoking story.

21. Mega-Duhs !!!!!

YOU GOT IT. Why does the MSM never mention the widespread and fully documented PATTERN of BushCo taxpayer-funded propaganda? They treat the Guckert Gay Hooker/Journalist scandal as if it existed in a vacuum -- when it is obviously part of a pattern.

D'oh.

They know full well what they do. And now, thanks to Bloggerville, everyone else does, too.

[Scurrilous]

17. Poor rightwads....

...they thought if they manufactured enough phony outrage on the blogsphere over Congressman Hinchey's remarks that they could get him to back down and issue an apology.

I guess that apology will not be forthcoming...:thumbsup:

[gottaB]

19. Hinchey's under rightwing attack--let him know that you support him

20. Call goes out tomorrow

Will call or go into Hinchey's office tomorrow to voice support. Thanks for the heads up.

[Clark2008]

22. Will fax him a letter tonight.

I would call, but it's too late now. I will fax something so that he gets it first thing in the morning.

23. I was watching bush* being asked questions in Europe today.

A reporter asked him if he thought that Russia was slipping from it's democratic ways, and the first thing out of bushs' mouth was 'I believe in a free press' implying that Putin didn't. And I thought, the FUCK if he does.
