On Bill Mahers Real Time, Roseanne kept pouding them about the fake Niger documents.
I kept thinking---Damn--- you go Girl---

Me-thinks---actually I've always thought that Cheney and his crew were behind the fake Niger documents, hence his sensitivity to the issue and his strong desire to take down Wilson/Plame.

AND I think if they, (Waxman, etc) can uncover that it was the Admin that forged the Docs--- well... that would be it for Darth Vader.

6. And yet everyone, even Maher, dismissed it as if she was making it up...

8. Yes they just ignored it!
Then went on to talk about other things. This is what everyone will do unless we pressure them to do otherwise!
Thank you Rosanne Barr! :patriot:

9. That's the thing about Maher and others like him..
Don't get me wrong---I love the guy....but... sometimes when the subject gets a bit deep, he moves on with a look that says, nobody wants to hear that.

14. I've read that too but....
don't remember the source or whether it's credible. It may have just been CYA! I have signed Sibel Edmond's petition and hope everyone here will do the same.

17. Wouldn't it be? She was more on point than most of Maher's previous guests. And her passion
was wonderful!

One thing that has bothered me about Real Time is that many times Maher will have people on his panel who are just not informed. Invariably on many of those shows, he'll have a wrongwing pundit who spews talking points that are lies, and the "Liberal" panelists and Maher don't have enough information to repudiate the lies. Barney Franks has done it in the past and so did Roseanne!

And Bill! :hi:

20. Agreed!
I'd love to see Sibel Edmonds on his show! Or Steven Jones. I doubt he's even heard of him though.
You know, I'll bet Colter will be on real soon promoting her new book after hearing him on Larry King.

21. I don't think Bill would get into anyone as controversial as Sybil, although I hope
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 10:16 AM by OmmmSweetOmmm
that someday in the future she will truly be heard. And I don't think he'd touch Steven Jones with a 30ft stick. I think he has made fun of the 9/11 Truth Movement in the past. That said, there's enough verifiable conspiracies coming out now ... the latest the Gonzo US Atty Purge for political reasons, starring Karl Rove, Harriet Meyers and Alberto Gonzo Gonzales. It seems now that each day, a new crime by this administration sees the light of day. Chris Matthews is going to be doing a segment tonight on how illegal immigrants are being held. I hope that's about the concentration camps!

I will also venture to say, and not too much longer in the future, the True Crimes behind 9/11 will also will out. I'm listening to the rerun of yesterday's A Jones' show right now, and there was a man representing the International Union of Firefighters, who is really pissed. Do you remember the clashes between police and firefighters at Ground Zero, when Rudy called the search off and ordered recovery? It seems that firefighters are coming forward to say that this happened right after they recovered the gold from underneath the towers. Once more and more firefighters open up, it will be the beginning of the end of the cover-up. They saw enough to trash the FEMA and NIST reports. I'm sure of it.

On Edit! Another real Conspiracy which Roseanne was talking about were the forging of the Niger documents.

27. I guess you're right Ommm....
but Maher needs to be enlightened about 911!
It's up to "we the people" only and there's a long way to go.

19. I too very much enjoyed her appearance..
It is so refreshing to see someone speak off the cuff in a thoroughly informed fashion. She was great.

22. I used to think she was forgettable but now I have so much respect for her.
She knew what she was talking about, and wasn't afraid to say it. Good for her!

23. Kinda funny how the Dan Rather "forgeries" were poorly done, too, eh?
Make you wonder...how did the bogus TNG docs fall into Dan's hands, too? Is their an Official Office Of Forgeries in the Cheney White House?

Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 10:20 AM by timeforarevolution
I'll be very surprised if she doesn't voice her political opinions (with FACTS!!! - love her). I thoroughly enjoyed her on Real Time. Go Rosie!!!!

It's almost as if the spirit of Molly Ivins is in her!

Bill was on Larry King last night, and I sure didn't agree with his comments about the Dems dumping the Faux debates.

30. she went all right wing for a few years
back around 2000-2001

i guess this conincided with the weird state of mind she was in when she made that last season of roseanne and she had that horrid talk show


used to love her work. hope she's sane again.

31. She also said the last two elections were stolen
a couple of times, I think. I was quite surprised at that one, because while the majority knows about the first one, I don't think the 2nd is as well known.

34. She reminded me of Bill O'Reilly during that show. Her yelling, screaming, huffing, and puffing
do nothing to further awareness of these issues within the general population. While she's screaming her sermon to the choir, republicans sit back and say, "Hey look, another liberal asshole. She needs to get a clue! HAHA".

We need to be reaching out to every single REASONABLE PERSON in this country, regardless of political affiliation or current viewpoint. Reasonable people do not like to be screamed at and talked over.
