C-Span "Can liberals be trusted on national security?"....OMG the BS

[GingerSnaps]

Can you believe the BS questions C-Span is asking?

Right wing callers are blaming Clinton and one jackass just called in and said that who would you prefer to walk down an alley with a repug or a democrat. What does politics have to do with someone defending them self in a fight?

[Florida_Geek]

1. 34 Americans died under President Clinton

including the USS Cole people.... That is the real answer...

[Sperk]

2. the real question..Can Repugs be trusted with ANYTHING?

can they be trusted with our money? NO
can they be trusted with our environment? NO
can they be trusted with our jobs? NO
can they be trusted with our intelligence info? NO
can they be trusted with our voting machines? NO
can they be trusted with our reputation around the world? NO
can they be trusted with our dollar value? NO
can they be trusted with our social security? NO
can they be trusted to send us to war only when unavoidable? NO
can they be trusted to run an effective war? NO
can they be trusted with our civil rights? NO

Face it Repugs.....you just can't be trusted! :mad:

3. Cripes, a Democrat

A Repub would be a smart ass jerk, make the situation 10 times worse, than run like a little baby just the way blowhard cowards always do.

[ET Awful]

4. A quick glance at which prominent figures on both sides of the aisle

have served in the military in times of war gives a pretty clear answer.

[Bark Bark Bark]

5. Amen

The ones who have been beating the wardrums all along are the ones would have never served--and would never serve. To them, service is for suckers.

(Which must make for some interesting conversations between Poppy and Li'l Dubbie.)

General: "There's no way to survive this!"
Mansley: "You mean we're all going--"
General: "--To DIE, Mansley. For our country!"
Mansley: "Screw our country! I WANT TO LIVE!"
--"The Iron Giant"

[GingerSnaps]

6. Someone needs to tell right wingers

That their mouth doesn't count as serving in the military. Poor Rush had a disability and he couldn't serve in the military because his boil was infested. :D

[ET Awful]

9. And we all know how painful those butt boils can be :) n/t

[GingerSnaps]

11. I forgot he would have to use the latrines

The urine alone would set that boil on fire. :evilgrin:

[kentuck]

28. I kept waiting for someone to make that point...

I thought the guest might bring it up...but he did not seem to have that info at his disposal.

[DeepModem Mom]

7. Three letters: FDR! Eff these people --

n/t

[The Flaming Red Head]

8. Effete Republicans would be afraid to walk down the streets I’ve lived.

Without me there for protection.

[qanda]

10. Peter Beinhert was at it again

Calling for the Democrats to dump Michael Moore. Will the wonders ever cease?

[ElectroPrincess]

17. I feel sad for people like Peter B ...

Within the span of a decade, folks like him will find themselves even more devastated and disillusioned than us MoveOn.org type liberals he's attempting to ostracize.

One key lesson that I've learned from my right wing (secular) libertarian family members - that they hold ZERO respect for those who try to accommodate their cause in the hope of getting the left-over scraps from their powerful Alpha-male brothers.

The RW of the republican party will eat those "suck-ups to power" liberals alive. Think of the lowest ranking member in the wolf pack ... exactly - that will be Peter B's followers being constantly screwed and the brunt of even more disgusting jokes.

The RW actually, deep down has a hell of a lot more respect for MoveOn.org than the DLC. Because staunch RW folks literally hate ANY sign of appeasement ... when people like Peter B. shows the Democrat's soft underbelly, that's just a sign to promptly GUT the opponent. We've seen it happen over and over to our Senate and House of Representatives over the past decade, yet our party still "does NOT get it."

I submit, it's the civil but hard-core scrappers in the spirit of Paul Wellstone ... the people and their politicians who are truly "The Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party" who will prevail in the long run ... because we're not afraid to stand-up and speak truth to power.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

34. Beinhart will burn in Hell!

He supports the criminal acts of Bushie!

[GingerSnaps]

12. OMG Rabbit Sperm...the caller just won the grand prize Idiot award

Did anyone hear the nutty caller say that they took rabbit sperm and put it up a male rabbits rear end and it shut the rabbits immune system down ...and then he said...you know what I mean.

He has to be one of the biggest idiots of all time. :dunce:

[Ms_Mary]

20. Oh, quick, let us warn everyone....amazin scientificated infermashun

[GingerSnaps]

21. He sounded like Bevis and Butthead

I wonder if c-span is letting the rethugs make complete fools out of themselves or are they told not to question the right wingers.

[Ms_Mary]

24. I may giggle about that all day. I have a rabbit. They aren't particular.

[Ms_Mary]

25. OK, that sounded really bad. What I mean is that he has a crush on

the cat. The dog's just lucky she's too tall.

[GingerSnaps]

30. I can't believe that the host didn't question him

Well, then again I can.

[LynnTheDem]

13. WHO was in the Oval Office over EIGHT MONTHS prior to 911???

WHO went on one of the longest vacations in US Presidential history the MONTH BEFORE 911???

WHO was warned by the Clinton administration and by his own administration, and WHO IGNORED those warnings???

WHO was the president when 911 happened???

WHICH PARTY did said president belong to???

911 HAPPENED UNDER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT BUSH. BUSH'S OWN ADMINISTRATION REPORTS SAY BUSH HAS MADE US LESS SAFE AND TERRORISM HAS INCREASED UNDER BUSH. HOW CAN WE EVER TRUST REPUBLICANS ON NATIONAL SECURITY WHEN 911 HAPPENED UNDER REPUBLICANS???

[GingerSnaps]

14. Thank You!

The host never asks the nuts doing the calling that question.

[qanda]

16. I sat there and listened to that foolishness

Feeling as if I was living in a parallel universe. It seems like people cannot even remember to last week when an American target was hit in Saudi Arabia. I'll even give them the benefit of the doubt and say that *was* kind of a long time ago and then ask them to remember yesterday when 8 Marines were killed in Iraq (only six people died in the first World Trade Center bombing).

The New Republic or the Neo-Republicans want us to all jump on the Pax Americana bandwagon and there's no room on it for people who actually love America and feel the American policy in the Middle East is completely flawed.

[Ms_Mary]

19. Who refused to meet with his counter-terrorism czar?

Whose adminstration told Clarke to stop obsessing over that Bin Laden guy and look at Iraq instead?

Who started a war on false premises?

Who doesn't think about the guy who was behind 9-11 that much?

[tanyev]

15. I know I wouldn't feel safe

walking down an alley with a Republican. No telling what he might do to me.

[Ms_Mary]

18. Anything to distract from the horrible mess they've made.

Shock & Awe. Distract & Lie.

[suegeo]

22. Yet when Cynthia McKinney asks a question

about Bush culpability in the Sept. 01 attacks, the right comes down on her hard and she loses her seat in Congress.

Whenever anybody on the T.V. asked if Bush could have/ would have stopped the attacks in Sept. 01, the right came down on them hard, calling into question their patriotism, character and sanity.

Now, when the rightwing is blaming the attacks / poor defense on Clinton (even tho they occurred after he was out of office for months), the left sits relatively mute.

The double standard is breath taking.

[kentuck]

23. Bottom line : We are less safe today than when Bush stole the WH

He has made enemies that will haunt us for decades...He has created a "war on terror" that is now real.

[derby378]

26. Not "War on Terror" - try "Reign of Terror"

[GingerSnaps]

27. Every day I think that I have heard it all & then the next day

The callers are even more outrageous. The host never questions them on their comments and they are allowed to omit * from having anything to have taken place on his unelected watch.

* has torn our country and this world apart by starting the war for oil. We will be reaping what he has sowed for years. Matter of fact even after we are dead this country will still be going through * war on oil from the descendants of the people that were killed.

Think about the North and the South. How many years ago was the civil war fought and I believe when I was a kid there was still animosity to a certain extent.

[Q]

29. Isn't this a RWing Talking Point?

Looks like CSPAN is carrying more water for the Bushies and the Neocons.

[SoCalDem]

32. Fox probably submits the questions.. (They are neighbors, you know?)

Fox is right downstairs in the same building.. That's why they always have "ready-access" to all the wingnuts they could ever want.
AEI and Heritage are probably right down the street too

[The Judged]

31. Better question: are Republicans in bed with the military and ...

soldiers of fortune, in order to create an artificial and exaggerated need for all three of their high priced yet poorly performed services?

What is this special relationship that Republicans have, especially during the past 25 years, with the military establishment?

Remember when G. H. W. Bush lost to Clinton and we watched the inauguration only to hear the Republican Revolutionary political commentators tell us of the fact that we can still have a "peaceful transfer of power" in the United States? What did they mean by those comments, and how should Americans be receiving those comments during their presidential inauguration? What made a peaceful transfer of power a news item, when it should be a given in a Democracy? WTF

[ibegurpard]

33. I'd walk down a dark alley with a Democrat

The Republican would be the mastermind behind the people who jumped me.

[Catherine Vincent]

35. So to be fair and balance will they ask this question tomorrow:

"Can conservatives be trusted on national security?"

[onecitizen]

36. Last week they asked........

if the Democrats are irrelevant. Sheesh! Kick us when we're down. I'm starting to give up on even C-span now.
