Which pundits used the "Everyone knows * lied" defense?

[slor]

Besides andrea mitchell? And do we have that on video? I mean I am outraged that they can say this with a straight face, and I have to be honest, I have been sleeping so much better now that DSM seems to be getting improved notice, and I have not followed the media whores so closely in recent weeks. So again, who are the bastards and are we going to conduct a media blast to turn those words back at them?!

How dare they make him out to be some sort of honest,courageous, straight shootin', rootin'-tootin' good guy, when he is really a friggin' idiot, that thinks he is tough by sending our young people to die! I want all of those that said this, are we keeping track of this?

1. At least you didn't use "journalist'

when referring to Andrea Mitchell.

3. Well, since she married Greenspan

she's probably in love with her niche in Washington society.

2. There was some inference in Andrea Mitchell's article,

It sounded "off", see what you think.
Kind of, we knew we was going to do it, no matter what he said"

4. Oh, WE knew

but no one wanted to believe us.

Feeling vindicated yet?

No?

Maybe we'll feel better when the public outcry sends the rats scurrying to their holes. Watch out Rush, O'Lielly, Coulter, and the rest of you. You're at least as responsible as Bush and his cronies.

We know who you are and we'll not forget that you helped "catapult the propaganda."

5. I'm in total agreement with you slor!

"How dare they make him out to be some sort of honest,courageous, straight shootin', rootin'-tootin' good guy"

I don't know which ones actually said this, but will start to search for media clips.

And, I'm also thinking that we should all be focusing on bringing the fact that children are being raped at Abu Graib (?sp) to the whole world's attention. THIS CANNOT GO ON! We must demand the gov't investigate this! If there are video tapes, as has been reported, we must demand these!

6. A Repub talking point

This is an administration talking point, that it has been U.S. policy to seek the removal of Sadaam since the mid-90's. A nice way of tying Dems and Clinton to current actions.

And that's the difference. We're not talking policy, we are talking about methods used to achieve policy. This is an extremely dishonest way of conflating the two.

7. That's it! thanks for clarifying policy vs. method of "removal"

in dealing with these talking points. MKJ
