Carlson on MSNBC lying in promo openly...

[RBHam]

They are promo-ing a story about a cruise ship outing with South American "Dictator" Hugo Chavez...

I thought I'd drop a line...

Tucker and Staff ([e-mail]):

You can repeat a lie over and over. It still doesn’t make it true. Hugo Chavez is the popularly elected leader of a Democratic nation. He is not a dictator. Get your facts straight, if you want to claim any credibility at all.

1. Popularly elected people can be dictators

Peron in Argentina and Muscellini in Italy to name two.

3. How about Bush?

[dsc]

7. It is arguable that he was elected

9. tee

hee

5. Mussolini was a dictator, Muscellini is some sort of breakfast

cereal or laxative.

8. so I can't spell

[rzemanfl]

10. That's not so bad, I can't tell breakfast cereal from a laxative. n/t

[pschoeb]

11. Mussolini was never elected Prime Minsiter

He was appointed bY King Vittorio Emmanuelle III, upon threat of force of a coup and revolution.

12. I thought he had gotten elected somewhere along the line

[pschoeb]

13. He once was elected to a seat in parliament but that is hardly the same

Thing as being elected to head office, plus his appointment as Prime Minister was higly irregular. Peron is a better example, as he was popularly elected.

2. Good catch. The right slips things by like this all the time. Anyone who

stands up to America will always be label something nasty.

4. But can't you see...

no one must be allowed to actually win an election?

:crazy:

:dunce:

6. Unfortunately, you can repeat a lie over and over

and HUGE numbers of Americans will believe it's true (even after it's been repeatedly proven false).

14. But Musharraf is a president.

I remember the day Musharraf first started being referred to as "president" rather than "general" in the US press. They all started doing it at the same time. It started when the Bush Administration first began pushing their "spreading freedom" garbage. It was almost funny, because it was part of laying the groundwork for deposing one of their *old* brutal dictator pals (Hussein).

"We have always been at war with East Asia", you know. Same old bullshit. Truth it irrelevant- these outlets are about propaganda, period.
