1. Watching now...
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 06:57 AM by w13rd0
...commenting on media being easy on Bush, him being a liar. Can't wait for the hyperventilating callers. "YER CALLIN BUSH A LIAR! YOU COMMIE!"

First caller, asking if people are just stupid, or are they not paying attention...

Corn responds: hold President accountable, tend to be deferential, tend to want to believe person occupying WH, especially after 911. (no one wants to believe he's a fucking traitor that let 911 happen for political expediency - my editorializing). Commenting on Bush's tying Iraq and 911 and the media's late reporting of the LIE...

HAHA, he TOTALLY flustered the first Bushbot. Excellent. Total smack down. Go DAVID CORN!

14. OK, I'm not exactly unbiased,
but the "con" callers are just outrageously stupid and viscious this morning.
The "pro" callers sound like such reasonable and intelligent people.

I know, I know, "and water is wet".

2. His opponent
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 06:59 AM by prolesunited
calling in is certainly no match. LOL! He calls Corn a liar and Corn asks for a specific example and the guy is dumbfounded.

Corn's Web site: www.bushlies.com

THE LIST KEEPS GROWING
But do you know why the following statements are some of Bush's biggest whoppers?

10. "I have been very candid about my past."
9. "I’m a uniter not a divider."
8. "My plan unlocks the door to the middle class of millions of hard-working Americans."
7. "This allows us to explore the promise and potential of stem cell research."
6. "We must uncover every detail and learn every lesson of September the 11th."
5. " taking every possible step to protect our country from danger."
4. "I first got to know Ken ."
3. "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." And, " a threat because he is dealing with al Qaeda."
2. "We found the weapons of mass destruction."
1. "It’s time to restore honor and dignity to the White House."

3. The rw that just called and said Corn was a liar. Corn asked
if he has read the book... the guy said yes and then could not quote anything from the book. The caller was exposed as a dumb liar!

5. Whoa!

19. That's what happens...
when a person responds impulsively to something, and doesn't implement a thought out plan of action. Like, not reading someone's book before you condemn it, to the author, on C-SPAN, like a dumb ass.

7. One...
...just one. The FIRST caller brought up Clinton. This is the second caller that is now saying the FBI files are more severe than the Plame leak... That's the second Bushbot caller, the other call was a "Disagree w/ Bush" caller, so we don't count him ;)

8. Man...
...please, anyone calling in on "Disagree w/ Bush", David Corn has written a book on the deceptions of George Bush, and he's rightly pointing out that plenty of people are living and criticizing Bush, granted, some people might have something to fear, but Corn wrote about Bush's lies, let's stay on topic when appropriate. Many people out there might just be ignorant, misinformed, let them have their doubts seeded and grown...

9. Caller brings up Hatfield
asks Corn if he feels life is in jeopardy. Also mentions Bush body count Web site.

Corn says he doesn't fear for life, mentioned other authors like Franken and Ivins and that they've been alive for years doing this. Equates Bush body count with Clinton body count and says both are hyperbolic.

10. Woman is very upset
"How dare you call him a liar!"

Of course, brings up Clinton. Corn notes he also took Clintons to task as well.

11. Haha...
...this caller comes on to say a prayer to George Bush because he's pacifying the barbarians. Jesus, what a fruitcake. OMG, ok, no matter how loony any of the "lefties" that call in sound, that guy just topped them tenfold.

"The monument in NY will be nothing compared to the monument George Bush is building in the Middle East." HAHA, whoa, is he gonna build a big monument to Jesus in Karbala? Oh man...

13. Caller from Alabama
Dems don't have money to buy book. Says Clinton is a liar, wagged his finger and said he didn't have sex with that woman. I don't know about all of you, but I would much rather have a president lying about sex than lying about war.

22. Thank goodness for the repeat
I can't wake up at 5 A.M. It's been fun reading this thread and then watching it unfold. Corn is so relaxed, centered and articulate. A few words go a long way.

23. he's very good - I wish Diane Rehm
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 10:59 AM by Woodstock
would use David Corn more on her show - instead she uses the Brookings Institute guy, who claims he is a Democrat but is right of center. If they have a reasonable Republican on her show, I can't tell where Republican Guy ends and Brookings Guy begins (don't know his name, do you recall?) One day if B.G. said "in all fairness to the Bush Administration" one more time I figured I'd have to drive down to the studio and give him what for.
