By showing several clips edited together and adding a canned laughter track at the end, Rachel definitively proves how DICK Cheney and his minions are using Goebbels-esque propaganda by constanly repeating lies about President Obama and his administration purposefully avoiding the use of the words terrorism and terrorists.

4. Could it be that people might be finally starting to question whether you can
have a "war on terror"? If people begin to question this than of course the pugs have to make sure they are called on it. Just a thought.

"Terror" comes from a Latin word meaning "to frighten".
Psychological impact and fear – The attack was carried out in such a way as to maximize the severity and length of the psychological impact. Each act of terrorism is a “performance” devised to have an impact on many large audiences. Terrorists also attack national symbols, to show power and to attempt to shake the foundation of the country or society they are opposed to. This may negatively affect a government, while increasing the prestige of the given terrorist organization and/or ideology behind a terrorist act.<13>

Perpetrated for a political goal – Something that many acts of terrorism have in common is a political purpose. Terrorism is a political tactic, like letter-writing or protesting, which is used by activists when they believe that no other means will effect the kind of change they desire. The change is desired so badly that failure to achieve change is seen as a worse outcome than the deaths of civilians.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism

The above definition sounds more and more like the neocons and repub party, they would rather see people die than lose power.

5. Her statement isn't accurate.
"People are laughing at you"
Sorry to say, but the ones watching these jerks believe it and it shapes their opinion of Obama (or just solidifying why they should hate him more than they already do). I'm not laughing at them, I know they are perpetual liars, and I'm pissed at them.

7. Only people that can still think are able to laugh at it.
But these lies are not for them, they are for their brain dead followers.

6. K&R. So sad they feel confident they can say such crap
in so many public statements without getting challenged by the so-called reporters interviewing them.

They're working that "keep lying boldly and people will come to believe it" propaganda technique very heavily.

Part of the former Torturer in Chief's motivation for his critiques of our president is revisionist history-- to pretend that his gang protected our national security rather than destroying it.

8. Big props to Rachel for saying they are *lying*...
...it was refreshing to hear her use the word, and she used it a couple of times and quite forcefully.

10. Rachel is a truthteller.
She tells it regardless if the subject is a democrat or a republican.

Just one of the reasons I respect her so much.

9. Rep. King reminds me of the obnoxious drunk at the bar who hangs on you and can't shut up.
He just sits there and says anything. The fact he's the ranking Republican member of the homeland security committee is scary in itself.

His solution is to keep saying "terrorist," like that in itself solves everything. I'd rather see someone work behind the scenes and address the situation rather than hearing someone using a word to the point where it loses its effect because it's been overused.

Does the story about the boy crying "wolf" register with you, Rep. King?

Just shut him up, will somebody?

12. Saying "terror" more is all they got?
How many times did Dick, Dubya and Co even think about terror much less say it before 9/11? They were after us then too, y'know. By this time in Bush's term, the worst successful (very successful!) terrorist attack had already taken thousands of innocent American lives because months before it had been allowed to occur. Obama has a THWARTED UNSUCCESSFUL attempt to light underwear on a single plane. HELLO!
Repugs got nuttin'...less than nuttin'.
