[mr blur]

The troops rally behind the Chimp:

"NEW YORK (CNN) -- A Republican congressman from North Carolina told CNN on Wednesday that the "evidence is clear" that Iraq was involved in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001"

1. I get sick of these fucking liars!

"Told no investigation had ever found evidence to link Saddam and 9/11, Hayes responded, "I'm sorry, but you must have looked in the wrong places.""

:banghead:

[ET Awful]

2. What a fucking imbecile.

Does he actually think people are falling for that bullshit anymore?

[tubbacheez]

3. The phrase "and people like him" is an absolute riot. LOL!!! n/t

[arachide]

4. WTF???

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A Republican congressman from North Carolina told CNN on Wednesday that the "evidence is clear" that Iraq was involved in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.

"Saddam Hussein and people like him were very much involved in 9/11," Rep. Robin Hayes said.

who are the "people like him"? sounds offensively bigoted to me...

[waynew706]

5. Well I'm sure as hell missing something here.... Why is clear?

It's much more clear to me that Cheney would be more responsible for 9/11 than the Iraq's are.

[Straight Shooter]

6. Someone give this guy a tap and let him fall into the abyss.

He's clearly on the edge of reality, if not over the edge.

[truebrit71]

7. This guy is an out of his tree, stark-raving, bark-at-the-moon, kool-aid

swilling, arsepit, "dubya is god", nutjob...

*whew* now THAT felt better....!!!

[lonestarnot]

8. And this is a CONGRESSMAN! Fucking liar! We KNOW

better!

[rodeodance]

9. there were a couple DU threads this morning about this issue.

[Oversea Visitor]

10. This conspiracy has gone on too long and is now so big

That .......all elected representatives are going to get shit in the face if it blow.
Its now up to the people.

[radwriter0555]

[rodeodance]

[evolved Anarchopunk]

13. what. an. absolute... and complete... fuckup.

"Nobody disputes 9/11," Hayes said. "They would do it again if not prevented."

Nope LIHOP and MIHOP don't exist people !!! Take it from this asshole who has probably never touched a computer except to look at gay porn and later deny it! Nope, the corresponding evidence and lack of verifiable testim...:argh:

[indepat]

14. Would there have been any opposition to the Iraqi invasion/occupation had

this 9-11 link been conclusively established?

[Poiuyt]

15. This is no different than the nuts who claim the holocost never occured

It's not enough for the media to just say that Hayes is incorrect. They need to paint him as an off-the-wall lunatic.

[DearAbby]

16. Yooohooo Congressman...Fearless Leader had to admit there were no

ties..."No, we've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September the 11th," B*h said, Sept. 17th 3002. Get with the program Idjit

[SunDrop23]

17. Hayes is a nutbasket

[BeeBee]

18. He must be watching Faux News. n/t

[Eurobabe]

19. Where'd this dittohead get his news?

Faux? PNAC?

[Beelzebud]

20. Look him up on wikipedia.org. :)

I just added something to his profile. :P Enjoy.

21. It was a joy to watch cnn anchorwomen Carol Costella take him on this

morning. Made my day!!

[Bluebear]

24. Carol was stymied by his fantasy mind. She did a fine job!

[Bluebear]

22. "The evidence is clear!" -- Fine, SHOW US!

I saw this goober say that this morning. How the hell did he get elevted in the first place???

[rodeodance]

23. He said Congress was shown the evidence

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Sorry, LIARS, ain't gonna fly!

Didn't they admit, a LONG TIME AGO, that Saddam was NOT involved in 911. The idiot said it. There's a quote out there somewhere.

[ladjf]

26. The Congressman is parroting Bush. We don't need the DSM.

Bush continues to lie everyday. Any one of these lies amounts to treason. There isn't a shred of evidence linking Saddam to the 9-11 attacks. But, there is much evidence linking the Bush administration to them.

[JHB]

27. "Hundreds of thousands of kurds" killed by Saddam?

What are they trying to do, make Saddam's ACTUAL death toll look mild?

[Just Me]

28. LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE

Why do they lie? Why do they deceive? Why do they betray our soldiers and the American people?

Because they are greedy, power-mongering assholes who exploit their own people,...that's why.

[Beetwasher]

29. "What's Your Evidence?" "Well, We Invaded Them Didn't We?"

That sums up the thought process.

[nonconformist]

30. Bullshit. If there was "clear evidence" they'd be screaming it

at every available opportunity.

Perhaps this congressman can explain why when Blair and Bush are asked directly, they admit there's no connection?

Q One question for you both. Do you believe that there is a link between Saddam Hussein, a direct link, and the men who attacked on September the 11th?
THE PRESIDENT: I can't make that claim.
THE PRIME MINISTER: That answers your question.

[Sapphire Blue]

31. Not all newspeople are following in lockstep w/the WH anymore.

I watched that interview... it was great! She called him on his BS & stated the truth... no connection between Iraq & 9/11.

Someone on another of yesterday's 'news' shows (Anderson Cooper, I think) compared Bush's situation with a dog food company... they produce a new dog food, have a great ad campaign, but fail the real test when they give the dog food to the dog... and the dog won't eat it... now America ain't eating the dog food (or drinking the Kool Aid):evilgrin:.

Not sure just when or how it happened, but it seems like corporate newspeople aren't all WH shills anymore, no longer repeating WH talking points... some even daring to ask challenging questions and speak the truth. Feels like America's blinders might finally be coming off.

Georgie is obviously desperate... reminds me of Nixon when he was being impeached. Can't wait for Georgie to start saying "I AM NOT A LIAR!" :evilgrin: Might we be in the 'last throes' of a failed presidency & on the road to impeachment of Bush & Co :evilgrin:?
