[Proud2BAmurkin]

"John Q Public's just not buying this stuff that comes out of the White House anymore"

OOOOH BURN.

THE GAME IS UP. Idiot Son's legacy is officially SHIT.

[AX10]

1. Replace Wolf with Jack, Ahora, Ahora, Ahora!!!!!!!

NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!!

[AirmensMom]

5. I'd love to see that!

[CatWoman]

39. I'm watching the video right now

[Carla in Ca]

41. Thanks for the link

This is the same thing we went through when * didn't want the 9/11 commission. 81% want an independent commission...Wow!
Who can we get to put on the pressure, like the Jersey Girls did?

[jayctravis]

44. Anderson Cooper is doing a great job as location anchor.

Wolfie's there to entertain the day crowd with his situation room. He needs some levers to pull and buttons to push...like the God Machine -- he's the Wizard of OZ!

[AirmensMom]

2. I saw that.

Can't wait for him to read the letters. :applause:

[texpatriot2004]

3. Was there a question before his comment? Or what was the

context of it? You are so right Cafferty.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. He was asking if shrub's homeland security advisor investigate Katrina.

Then Jack said "Duh"! He rocks!!!

[AirmensMom]

9. Here it is.

Is the president’s homeland security adviser the right choice to investigate Hurricane Katrina?

[TomInTib]

4. Wasn't that great?!

worth staying inside to defrost our fridge today (really).

[faithnotgreed]

7. thank you for sharing the details - its great to hear any truth on cnn

please cnn replace wolf with sanity aka jack cafferty

[tridim]

8. Well Cafferty has certainly made friends with the truth

during the past month. How RW was this guy before he figured out that Bush was a complete fuckup?

[krkaufman]

24. Exactly. He was droning along with the rest up until Corinna.

Now I'd like to hear him take a further step back, and consider not just critique what the Bush Admin is saying -- but expose the pattern of behavior, across the board, that has been revealed by the hurricane planning and relief effort.

[Cha]

37. You're too funny.."Corrina".

And, yes, I know the reference :D

[JNelson6563]

54. good one

Can you believe Pickles screwed that up?? Leave it to a DU poster to make it humorous. :-)

[Wheezy]

10. I adore Cafferty, but

what the fuck is wrong with his neck? Does he even have one?

I always feel like he needs a chiropractor.

Nevertheless, Cafferty rocks.

[calimary]

20. I never did. At least until recently. Seems that the wool has been

pulled down from his eyes and he's seeing this bunch of thieves and jackals for what they are. Nice to see others are, too, judging from his emails. Believe me, if he'd seen some that stood up for bush, especially now with everybody seemingly piling on him, he'd read them on the air for sure. Especially if it meant any hope to prop up the old belief system. What he's telling us by all this is how extremely public opinion has shifted.

I couldn't be happier!!! If HE is starting to see this, you bet the others are, also.

Perhaps, since limbaugh is now lambasting us here, and calling us monsters, he's starting to sweat, too. If he didn't feel threatened, he wouldn't give us the time of day.

[Beetwasher]

11. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT APPEARANCES ANYMORE

That should scare the hell out of everybody. Either they don't think their disastrous admin will have any effect on Repubs in general, or they have no fear of "losing" elections anymore, for some reason...(wink/nudge)...

[OneGrassRoot]

12. Did Cafferty say THAT?

or were they your words?

:-)

[texpatriot2004]

13. the words are in quotes. I wondered too though. n/t

[Beetwasher]

15. My Words!

LOL! No way even Cafferty would say that!

[OneGrassRoot]

16. Well, a girl can dream.....lol ..... thanks! n/t

[Minstrel Boy]

17. America is no longer a popularity contest. That's what

their actions have been saying for a while.

People get excited about polls, but even on election days they don't count anymore.

[tom_paine]

31. Sad but true, MinstrelBoy, sad but true

Even here at DU, people are unwilling to understand that we have long ago passed the point of no return.

I hope I am wrong, but I am 98% certain I am right. It is a frightening thing to contemplate, but the longer we put it off, the lower our chances go of ever being free again.

[hang a left]

42. I don't know about you but...

I don't buy the spin that the media has somehow awoken. There is something going on. But I'd bet the farm that it is the plan. Bush is supposed to go down, maybe. Why, I don't know. Sometimes I wonder if they just see just how much crap they can pull without "We the People" doing a damn thing about it. Stolen elections; what are they gonna do about it? Devious Congressional voting; what are they gonna do about it? Lie the country to war; what are you gonna do about it. Phony "bipartisan" investigations and commissions; what are you gonna do about it? Empty the Treasury and give it to my friends; what are you gonna do about it? Violate the Constitution; what are you gonna do about it? I could type all night but I think you catch my drift.

[KoKo]

47. Was it Michael Ruppert who said if Bush got too far out of the box, the

powers behind the Government would take him out? I think he said that a year ago before the past election.

When Iraq went badly maybe the "shadow government" decided he'd had his run. :shrug: However Ruppert cautioned that the replacements would also belong to the "shadow govt." So it would be maybe "kinder and gentler" but more of the same.

A dreadful thought, I know...after all we've been through...

[Nothing Without Hope]

53. Exactly. Please read this thread, both the OP and the replies:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4790112
thread title: Missing A KEY POINT in *'s speech: POWER GRAB FOR POTUS AND MILITARY

Bush wants more power, and this is no tinfoilhat rant. They have been working towards this for years, step by step. With the outrageous power of the POTUS under FEMA emergency, Bush can declare martial law for "civil unrest" and do damn near ANYTHING and Congress can't even review it for six months.

Like I said, please read this thread, including the replies. They've already destroyed so many Constitutional protections and balances. Now they feel they can blast the rest.

[wryter2000]

14. Oh, wow

I hope this will be up on crooks and liars.

[gratuitous]

18. Actually, Mr. Cafferty

John Q. Public, when presented with a fair reading of the "stuff that comes out of the White House," has never bought it. It's taken the combined efforts of the Mighty Republican Wurlitzer and the so-called liberal media blasting spin and propaganda at all hours and at all times to keep the lid on this corrupt administration's incompetence.

But after the colossal screw-up that was relief for Hurricane Katrina, not even the MRW or SCLM could paper over the multitude of sins being committed, and one slip meant death. You don't jump the Grand Canyon in two stages. You either make it, or you don't.

But they've had a helluva run, a lot longer than I thought possible.

[calimary]

19. Oh REALLY??? "...just not buying..."? "The game is up"???

No. Kidding.

No. Shit?

Whoa.

Game. Set. Match, guys.

It'll be interesting to see how long this prevails. But it's been awhile since that week of hell in New Orleans, and people by now should have "rallied round their president." If it was going to happen, it would have occurred by now.

It hasn't happened.

What's more, their ONE option to compell the public to race back to his side is no longer available to them: a terrorist strike inside the US. They have already been proven, VERY MUCH the hard way, to be frauds in their claim that he was THE guy who was gonna keep us all safe. We saw too horrifyingly and disgracefully clearly how his leadership was nonexistent, and while he remained AWOL (hmmm, where have we heard THAT before?), his so-called reorganized and MBA/CEO-let's-run-it-like-a-BIZness government was in complete disarray and awash in cronyism and shameful incompetence.

The public doesn't like to be lied to. Look how many of them harangued on and on about Clinton's lie in the Monica persecution. This is a lie about how strong and secure he was about protecting YOU and YOUR safety. Now, you're likely to see "trickle-down" in effect all over everything he's touched - as in - well, if he can screw up on this, what's he gonna do on that? You're seeing that now in his handling-of-the-war-on-terrorism numbers, which will also take a toll on the whole Iraq fiasco. Which, frankly, is just New Orleans with more guns and less gumbo.

[confludemocrat]

26. We know from clues already that in-country attack would trigger a coup de

etat by Bush and natiowide martial law, roundups of "regular" Americans and eminent domain over all broadcast networks and communication means. Those latter would be made to appear as voluntary by the junta. Censorship, mass "bannings" followed by various other abuses would ensue all to profit the Republican Party and other facist elements. Then attacks on muslims and arabic people would occur beneath the radar and coercion of various other sectors of society would be unabated. The installment of religious leadership and hegemony over all functions would also occur- an Iran like committee or council of elders would come to prominence, called for and called-upon by the perils to the "homeland".

[earth mom]

50. Great post!

Liked the "Iraq = New Orleans with more guns and less gumbo" line! :)

[texpatriot2004]

21. Go Jack! n/t

[blossomstar]

22. Is that ever the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

[Initech]

23. Bush is the evil son. Case closed.

It's just like Maher said: "America loves the devil"

Which is why we elected and re-elected George W. Bush. There's no way that such an evil spawn of satan could have been chosen by god...

OR could he have?

[AirmensMom]

27. No. It's just a lot of bad preaching that makes people believe

that Bush was chosen by God. He is evil. The "Christians" who support him need to go back and read their Bibles.

[texpatriot2004]

28. Well said n/t

[calimary]

32. Welcome to DU!

Just for you, I'm throwing in this Bill Maher quote that's just WUNNNNNNNNNNNNderful (during an on-camera rant directed at junior):

"So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "

Glad you're here. Settle in and find encouragement and support GALORE!!! Plus great wit and a LOT of excellent information and analysis.

Your name troubles me a little - you're an airmen's mom? You have a son (or more than one son) in Iraq? Aw, MAN! I hope not. If you do - I hope and pray that your heart's darling(s) come(s) home safe, alive, and in one piece. I'm a mom, myself. Every time I drive past the local VA cemetery, I don't see the headstones. All I do see are pools and pools and pools of mothers' tears. May that NOT happen to you!!!

:hug:

[nonconformist]

25. Wooohooo, go Jack! nt

[texpatriot2004]

29. Cafferty is right

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[JohnyCanuck]

30. Paging Karl Rove. Paging Karl Rove.

Mr. Rove, please pickup an urgent call on the Prezledentiall hot line.

[Wizard777]

33. Terror alert code: RED! This is a matter of National Security! Defcon 1!

Bush is going Down! Pull the rip cord Dick! Pull the rip cord!

[in_cog_ni_to]

34. Let's REPEAT that! THE GAME IS UP. THE GAME IS UP. THE GAME IS UP.

THE GAME IS UP. It's about time.

[AspenRose]

38. Les jeux sont fait

Hope others in the media are as courageous as Jack....

[Pirate Smile]

35. Well, Stephanie Miller will definitely be playing the "Going to the Chapel

and we're going to get married" song for Jack tomorrow morning on her show. :)

[oasis]

36. I'm beginning to like this guy. (eom)

[onecent]

40. Please Please write J. Cafferty and tell him what you think. Yippeeeen/t

[Lifelong Protester]

43. Even this curmudgeon is not buying it anymore

hope you all saw the emails he read on the air, and my favorite was the one from the guy who said, "Yeah, let them investigate themself. And next time I have a problem with the IRS, I'll tell them I'll look into it and get back to them."

The jig is up. :freak:

[fishwax]

45. Great quote. Cafferty has been on fire since

Katrina hit. He was the first talking head to really point out that race was a factor. My respect for him has skyrocketed in the last few weeks.

[nonconformist]

46. Crooks and Liars has a video clip

48. Kick because everyone needs to watch this

I even pumped my fists when it was done. Yes, I'm kind of a dork like that.

[artemisia1]

49. Kick for the morning crew. Quotes like this will turn the tide. nt

[Oeditpus Rex]

51. "DUH?!"

And a new DU buzzword is born. Here's to you, Jack Cafferty. :toast:

52. Here's the permalink and direct links to video at Crooks & Liars:

Partial rush transcript:

Cafferty: ...The public is not going to buy any of this stuff that comes out of Washington. They're not going to believe anything that comes out of these partisan reports or stuff that was done from within the White House. It just isn't going to wash. The game is up with John Q Public. They're not buying this stuff anymore!"
