Have fun sending Armstrong some emails!

[AlbizuX]

9. This is the email I sent him

I just sent him this!

By the way...I lied about being independent...i just did that to get his attention and hope he reads my email with more depth.

If he knew I was socialist, he'd never read it! ahahahha.



Armstrong,

Quick points.

You wanna be a conservative, fine.
You want to support Bush, fine.
You want to moralize and preach squeaky clean values of purity, character, and uprightness, particularly to the minority communities? Fine...all fine.

If you do, be prepared to back that up with a record of ethical behavior that matches the rhetoric.

Fusing together partisan advocacy of this administration's education policies with your journalistic duties is a HEAVY no-no in journalistic ethics...

I hate to say it, because I know you hate it when someone says this...but Malcolm X used to call people by what they were, before it became taboo.

He would say that house slaves were those that received perks and special benefits for doing the bidding of their masters. You, sir, just took 240,000 for spreading the right-wing education agenda, which is opposed by all the teacher friends that I know (they call it the No Child Left Alive Act, so you know!) Those are MY tax dollars, and I didn't ask for the government to give it to you to speak your political opinions as fact.

You sir, just received perks and benefits for serving YOUR masters, the Republican party (or the conservative cause, if you believe that's who you serve). In my book, that makes you a house slave.

You have your right to be how you wish...but please, stop moralizing us about ethics, values, purity, character, and all the other stuff you talk about...if you yourself cannot see the big ethical no-no you just commmitted.

By the way, I think you are a brilliant orator/argumentator...but sir, what you did was wrong.

2. Also talked about on Franken's show by Joe Conason. NT

[tx_dem41]

3. Apparently, our "spineless" Demo leaders have written a letter to the

...Prez...

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/atrios/armstrong.pdf

[Raksha]

29. Wow!!! You think Bush is gonna answer that letter?

[SillyGoose]

35. "puffery"...I like that term

seems to me that a lot of "puffery" goes on over at the White House. ;-)

Seriously, great letter. Maybe the corruption of this administration will finally start to come to light. I sure want to know who else got paid to shill for Bushco.

[Blue_In_AK]

45. Great letter

I'm sure * won't read it. (CAN he read??)

[MadisonProgressive]

4. That was your and my tax dollars in action!

How much do you think they pay Roger Ailes?

[Al-CIAda]

5. But hey, at least he didn't sleep in the Lincoln bedroom!

These sorry POS need to be put in JAIL!

[MadisonProgressive]

7. According to the letter to *

he's (*) already broken at least 2 laws! Why doesn't somebody get indicted for this?

[Walt Starr]

10. HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS!!!

GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT!!!!!

[Darkhawk32]

15. Are you being sarcastic? n/t

[Walt Starr]

16. Nope, they cited crimes

This formulates a case for impeachment.

Get enough movement in the naiton and the Republicans will have to throw Bush overboard, and I'm sure a lot of 'em in Congress are geting scik of being bullied by the White House.

[Darkhawk32]

17. It's certainly a start... :) n/t

[Walt Starr]

18. Yep, let's hope they uncover some payments to Novak

That would be the straw.

[Darkhawk32]

30. That would tie together an act of TREASON!

Do they still shoot people for treason?

[Darkhawk32]

32. To tie this to the election.... does this kind of story make you think

about how * could've paid MSM to skew exit polling results?

I think it further strengthens are suspicions.

[Blue_In_AK]

46. Walt Starr, I think you're coming around. :-) n/t

[tridim]

14. Laws are not enforced if you're BushCo

You didn't know that?

[Ganja Ninja]

13. They probably don't have to pay Limpballs anymore.

He's not being prosecuted, thats his pay off or he's paid off in pills.
I think It's time we had an investigation into how many of these prostitutes are on the tax payers dime.

[fasttense]

20. I wonder what they pay Bill O 'Really or Faux news?

[SillyGoose]

37. Surely you jest...

Faux News and O'Lielly are fair and balanced, remember? /sarcasm off

[Ganja Ninja]

6. Proof that what we've been calling them for so long is true.

Media Whores! Put a blue dress on him. He's a paid spokes whore for the Bush crime family.

[Coexist]

11. I think he just earned a nomination

for a Propaganda Profiteer award.

Wow - we can't FUND NCLF, but we can spend A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS for one conservative pundit to hawk it??? With my tax dollars. If this happened under Clinton, Rush would explode on the air - literally. Bill O'Reilly's eyeballs would pop out and that jerk Hannity would have steam coming out his ears. Oh the hypocrisy.

[Walt Starr]

8. DEMOCRATS ARE CALLING BUSH ON THIS ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR!

Reid's office issued a statement regarding a letter sent to Bush. Calls it ILLEGAL:

[AlbizuX]

12. i recommend that everytime

that Armstrong visits a college or goes somewhere,

Someone wear a shirt or have a sign that says

Bush Whore, House Slave
What did you spend your Payoff on?

[fasttense]

19. I sent him an e-mail

and told him to return my tax dollars!!!!

With my great grandchildren paying the deficit, I can't believe they are borrowing on my children's future for propaganda!!!!!

[AlbizuX]

21. Even the Freepers are abandoning Armstrong!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1315982/posts

[MadisonProgressive]

22. Yeah - they are attacking Williams and defending Bush!

[AlbizuX]

23. hey, between the massa and the slave, who are you gonna defend?

Republicans are defending their big man...and ostracizing Armstrong...

They just called him Armstrong Numnuts on Free Republic!

Karma's a bitch, huh Armstrong.

Still think the Republican Party is big enough for black people...sure it is, as long as you do their bidding and don't bring attention to yourself.

Now, as Black Rapper Ras Kass says, "You're a 14th Amendment and a good nigga".

Enjoy being tarred and feathered by BOTH liberals AND conservatives.

[flyarm]

24. this is the * admin buying..

buying propaganda on the backs of our children..our children...and a royal screwing of all the professional educators in this nation..we all know whatever the * admin names anything..look for it to be just the opposite...well this one was bought and paid for propaganda meant to co-erse the black community into accepting this malfeasance.

fly

[RevCheesehead]

36. Hey, fly, did ya send this to Keith?

Although I'm sure he already knows about it - but ya never know!

[flyarm]

38. he knows! it was on msnbc! n/t

[MadisonProgressive]

43. ...and a royal screwing of all the professional educators in this nation..

Well, we all have to take our turns - bend ova !!

[gumby]

25. They're ALL getting paid off in one way or the other.

Free Market my ass!!

(there are still some good, honest journalists, but they are few and are usually NOT in M$M)

[Divine Ms Q]

26. Which congressional committee

would be in charge of investigating this? Judiciary?

[Coexist]

27. FYI - this story is on the front page of MSNBC,

CNN and Fox news. Yeah.

[pgh_dem]

34. i'd ask too, whoever could investigate this

would they be in a position to find out if there was a contract in place with an advertising firm promoting **'s Soc Sec privitization?

[AlbizuX]

28. can anyone gives us a link to online video

of Armstrong answering questions about this...i want to see him squirm.

Now is our turn to moralize on you, Armstrong!

[flyarm]

31. i am with you

i can not stand that smarmy smirk of his..i want to see his balls twisted!!

fly

[AlbizuX]

33. do you know...

what the feeling is to know a black conservative is just doing the bidding of his corporate/Republican masters...and then to have him flip that on you and call you a liberal intolerant?

I feel like this is catharsis....we always knew you were a house slave, Armstrong. Thank you for allowing us to finally prove it.

Next...Clarence Thomas!

[Raksha]

39. I can't believe the timing of these stories is an accident.

And the letter to Armstrong Williams is also dated January 7th. A lot of people were raking our Dem leaders over the coals yesterday because more Senators didn't stand with Barbara Boxer, but maybe they aren't ALL asleep at the switch. They just chose to fight a different (but related) battle.

[flyarm]

40. more!

[AlbizuX]

41. no shame...

we got to keep hammering them...they will hang themselves with their actions.

[AlbizuX]

42. VIDEO OF ARMSTRONG ON CROSSFIRE - RESPONSES

http://movies.ziaspace.com/Crossfire.wmv

Enjoy watching this little sellout trying to explain himself.

[Blue_In_AK]

44. I laughed and laughed and laughed

when I heard about this last night. How much do you suppose they're paying Scarborough, O'Reilly, et al.?
