OMFG - Tweety just condemned Bushco

[malaise]

and said these are US backed dictators who are falling and these events prove the Iraq war was not necessary.

[Solly Mack]

1. K&R

[Ramulux]

2. I wonder if he will condemn himself

for fully supporting the war and attempting to slander anyone who dared to question it.

[malaise]

6. Of course not

He doesn't even remember his position then.

[eleny]

10. And then try to change history by asserting that he was against it as if from the start

[Octafish]

15. Academic Hagriographers and Corporate McPravda would trumpet and hail the Moron!

And all in Miserablefailurelia were happy. Again.

[ljm2002]

11. Tweety was quite outspoken...

...against the incursion into Iraq. True, he did become somewhat of a cheerleader for Bush politically, after the fact, but he was quite consistent in his opposition pre-invasion.

[melman]

13. This is true

[tblue37]

19. Actually, he was not one of the war's supporters. I don't remember if he ended up eventually

supporting it, but he didn't at first. His crime was holding his finger to the wind and sucking up to Bush and the Republicans so much, not supporting the war.

21. Yeah, I wonder when he w--

Oh, wait...

"Conversely, he is also often criticized by conservatives for his opposition to the Iraq War among other stances he took against the Bush administration."

3. Well, DUH.

[Hannah Bell]

4. funny, since the us was the primary backer of egypt's dictatorship

also of saddam hussein for a while

but i take your point

[malaise]

12. We know that

but I don't think we expected Tweety to start his program this way today.

[XanaDUer]

5. I am starting to love Tweety

esp after he reamed Sal Somebody, Tea Party organizer (and "entrepreneur")

[Brother Buzz]

31. Tweety has been doing well lately, but I will still view him with a jaundiced eye

That Sal Somebody is Sal Russo, The King of Astroturf®. He created the Tea Party Express from the ashes of his previous Astroturf® movement, 'Move America Forward'.

As it dies, it is reborn anew, and rises from the ashes to live; he simply tapped MAF mailing list.

Sal Russo is not an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and is accountable for the inherent risks and the outcome.

Rather, Sal Russo is a carny barker, a front man doing the bidding for the man behind the curtain and is well compensated.

[XanaDUer]

36. Yes, he did seem to be having a Bromance with Bush

nt.

[monmouth]

7. Tweety is a fan and follower of "power." His change of tune would

indicate to me he thinks this President is a winner and he's going along with this admin and all things Obama. I'm just speculating.

[pacalo]

8. K&R.

:thumbsup:

[fascisthunter]

9. wow... did he say that?! Because it is true....

17. It ain't just Bushco, unfortunately.

This nation has had a policy of propping up right wing dictators for many decades. It has always put on on the wrong side of the working class people. The real reason for this was pressure from corporations so they could get in these countries and exploit their natural resources. This is much harder to do under a democratically elected government.

[malaise]

22. True - they are all hawks

when it comes to foreign policy.
What made it worse during Bushco was the number of known GOP operatives parading as 'consultants' and collecting money to lobby on behalf of some of the most corrupt bastards on the planet.

[Hydra]

23. No, the problem with Bushco, and continues...

...is that all of this sort of thing used to happen behind closed doors.

Bushco said "We're going to do what we usually do, and we're not going to pretty it up much."

All of the hush-hush stuff came out into the open, and they demanded we accept it: Election Fraud, Imperial Wars, Torture, Domestic Spying, Blatant Propaganda, etc.

Now it's all becoming legitimized, enshrined and expanded.

[Enthusiast]

30. Good point. nt

[malaise]

32. True but we still have the GOP consultants' problem

as they attempt to legitimize, enshrine and expand this fuckery.

[Hydra]

38. Sure

But without the power of the WH, they're just babbling at nothing. The problem is that they still HAVE the power of the WH, for some unknown reason which probably has to do with a no-opposition party thing that is rarely discussed.

[spooked911]

18. Tweety is an incoherent mess, intellectually

he's just all over the place. Sometimes says great things, other times you want to scream at him.

[MadMaddie]

24. Oh really?

This doesn't just go back 10 years this goes back to Reagan doesn't it?

Seriously, everything keeps going back to Reagan.

[malaise]

25. Reagan?

Patrice Lumumba was assassinated 50 years ago. A hawkish foreign policy is way older than Reagan but Bushco is largely responsible for the clusterfuck in the ME.

[MadMaddie]

26. I agree with you

I suppose I am looking over my lifetime of what I experienced and Reagan and many of his decisions are haunting us now.

[Swamp Rat]

35. Cheney and Rumsfeld worked for Ford...

who was Nixon's VP... who was Eisenhower's VP...

[upi402]

27. He blows hot & cold

He loves to jump on the 'smear the libs' bandwagon, then touts our causes a few days later. I miss KO

[Uncle Joe]

28. I don't care too much for Tweety but I will kick and recommend his observation on this.

Thanks for the thread, malaise.

[Imagevision]

29. Cheney & Bush cooked up Iraq WMD's scenario that never existed, we just let them get away with it...

[butterfly77]

33. Too late tweety..

we told you so but you just had to jump on the bushco bandwagon...

[Orsino]

37. He will never, ever make a substantive connection...

...to the other corporate fascists he fellates daily.

His sense of right and wrong is essentially random.
