Brooks"Joe Wilson made charges that turned out to be false"

[librechik]

so of course the vice president had to correct him.

Just now on the NewsHour.

Thank goodness Shields didn't let him get away with that!

1. Even more interesting,I thought,was Brooks saying that behind closed doors..

..a lot of Repubs want to get out tomorrow.

Maybe they're waiting for another 1000 to die before admitting it :mad:

[MissWaverly]

2. Brooks also said if Surge goes bad, everybody will want out

by summer, hope so, and it is going badly, as usual

[Forkboy]

9. This is what pisses me off.

They all know it isn't going to work,but they're willing to trade more lives instead of admit that and get outta Dodge now.

[MissWaverly]

13. yes, and the problem is that Bush is using this as a shield

for his war powers which translates as a right to do anything he pleases, he will never
give that up, never.

[Gabi Hayes]

3. What charges did Wilson make, according to Brooks, that turned out

to be false?

can you remember?

[MissWaverly]

5. he didn't specify, again the usual vague spin

everybody over-reacting, much ado about nothing.

[BuyingThyme]

6. They just say that whenever they can because the 30%ers still

believe that Wilson claimed that it was Cheney who sent him to Niger.

If you tell the same lie over and over...

[MissWaverly]

12. Yes, but TeamBush still outed Plame and blew a covert CIA op

[nosmokes]

14. joe wilson is the liar in the whole plame affair. that's the meme

i've heard it all over the place from the GOPosse.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. I keep hearing that too - "Joe Wilson has been completely discredited"

but I never read or hear specifics. What is their specific point of view? How has Wilson been discredited? What did Wilson state that turned out to be false? I too keep hearing the same vague claims but never see anything specific from where we might start debating the point.

[Jacobin]

17. It's one of those 'some people say' memes that the RW

is so good at subjugating the masses with

[MissWaverly]

4. I can't believe the lapdog NY times reporters repeat lies

outright lies, Fitzgerald investigated the Plame leak for 3 years, Libby has been found
guilty on 4 of 5 counts and they are still trying to SPIN, we're the good guys, Wilson
bad. It's pathetic and I have lost all respect for David Brooks over this, and I will
mention this when I do my PBS pledge again, they are always saying no agendas, just news,
well if they mean it, they will replace him.

[Disturbed]

7. Joe Wilson should demand equal time to rebut this BS.

Brooks is a RWing lying Asshole.

[MissWaverly]

11. the problem is they are hiding propaganda under "news"

and that is wrong.

[Toots]

15. Oh he did...He is suing their ass and then the truth will be heard

Cheney, Rove, Armitage, and a few others I believe. I think it will be one watched court battle....

[Gabi Hayes]

8. what kills me the most, and what galls me about the 'liberal' commentators,

is that Joe Wilson's presence in the Libby trial is IRRELEVANT!

whatever he said about Niger is IRRELEVANT

even if he DID lie about everything, it is IRRELEVANT

Libby's lying to FBI/prosecutors had NOTHING to do with Joe Wilson, or his visit

it had to do with his wife, and what he said regarding those he told about her

WHY CAN'T dems/libs who face the lies told about Wilson just wise up and repeat this over and over, so that those who don't know what's going on realize that Wilson has nothing to do with this case? It would make it harder for the lies to take hold.

[MissWaverly]

10. you are correct, this is about the outing of Valerie Plame

which was a thoughtless crime and hurt National Security and a lot of innocent people,
and the cover up is something that teambush did/not Joseph Wilson, not Bill Clinton, not
Al Gore, not John Kerry or whatever scapegoat that they can dream up, there were no liberal
democrats involved in the Plame outing, it was Team Bush and the GOP all the way.
