Well, there goes the whole "decency" thing. Interesting, though, how the troglodyte mind can be guided toward certain conclusions without too much intervention - just a continuous series of hints, insinuations and suggestions from the leadership and their media operatives in talk radio and Faux Newz. Of course, ignorance has always been the fertile soil of tyrants and despots.
Take Cheney (and Leiberman's) recent "suggestion" that anyone who supports pulling out of Iraq is serving the needs of the terrorists. Pure logic would tell you that the Cheney drive to invade Iraq, which Bush fulfilled for him, has come to ruin. It didn't come to ruin because the Left undermined the effort (hell, they voted for it too), but because Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, et al are totally incompetent and have completely screwed up the mission. Their incompetence has left our nation with two choices in Iraq - We can leave in the face of an uncontrollable civil war - Or we can draft, train, and send in 200,000 to 300,000 troops - because that is what it will take to turn this around.
What do Cheney/Bush/Rove do instead of facing the facts? They bend their abject failure into an attack on their political opponents. They throw smoke in the eyes of the troglodytes who, instead of opening their eyes to the disaster this administration has visited upon our country, snap right into line and join in the attack on the opposition - smearing, lying, selling out their own honor - whatever it takes to be a good ditto stooge.
Will they ever stop for a moment and try to think for themselves? Doubtful.
But here's some more simple logic: Will Al Queda try to attack us if we leave Iraq? Yes. Will they try to attack us if we don't leave Iraq? Yes. If we only partially leave Iraq, will they try to attack us? Yes. If the opposition party went totally silent and refused to comment on any subject whatsover, would Al Queda still try to attack us? Yes.
If the leader of Iran tries to drive a wedge between Americans and manipulate them, will they fall for it and join our enemies in an attack on their fellow Americans? Sure.
Their party is more important than their country.

It's truly amazing how big an idiot you are. Statements are true or false independent of the individual making the statement. "And 45 million people don't have a health care coverage" is a true statement whether Ahmadinejad, Ted Bundy, Pat Robertson or George freakin' Bush says it. It's a fact.

This one?:
What I can't figure out is this; Cheney, and his new lapdog Lieberman, tell us that if we pull out of Iraq, the terrorists will see this as a sign of weakness and they will hit us again.
I'm assuming if we stay in Iraq for 5, 10 or 20 years, they won't hit us again?
Or let's say we are victorious in Iraq. Then they won't hit us again?
Or is it just if members of the opposition party SAY that we should pull out; Is that what causes them to hit us again?
IMO, in the interests of clarity, Cheney should issue a guidebook. I mean, we don't want to get hit again for some inadvertent action. We should all know the right thing to do and say.
If we only pull out a small percentage of our troops, will they hit us again, but it will be a smaller attack - say a letter bomb?

You just can't help getting things bass-ackwards, can you?
Here's proof that just the opposite of what you are saying is true:
CIA: Osama Helped Bush in '04
On Oct. 29, 2004, just four days before the U.S. presidential election, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden released a videotape denouncing George W. Bush. Some Bush supporters quickly spun the diatribe as “Osama’s endorsement of John Kerry.” But behind the walls of the CIA, analysts had concluded the opposite: that bin-Laden was trying to help Bush gain a second term.
This stunning CIA disclosure is tucked away in a brief passage near the end of Ron Suskind’s The One Percent Doctrine, which draws heavily from CIA insiders. Suskind wrote that the CIA analysts based their troubling assessment on classified information, but the analysts still puzzled over exactly why bin-Laden wanted Bush to stay in office.
According to Suskind’s book, CIA analysts had spent years “parsing each expressed word of the al-Qaeda leader and his deputy, [Ayman] Zawahiri. What they’d learned over nearly a decade is that bin-Laden speaks only for strategic reasons. …
“Their [the CIA’s] assessments, at day’s end, are a distillate of the kind of secret, internal conversations that the American public [was] not sanctioned to hear: strategic analysis. Today’s conclusion: bin-Laden’s message was clearly designed to assist the President’s reelection.
“At the five o’clock meeting, [deputy CIA director] John McLaughlin opened the issue with the consensus view: ‘Bin-Laden certainly did a nice favor today for the President.’”
McLaughlin’s comment drew nods from CIA officers at the table. Jami Miscik, CIA deputy associate director for intelligence, suggested that the al-Qaeda founder may have come to Bush’s aid because bin-Laden felt threatened by the rise in Iraq of Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi; bin-Laden might have thought his leadership would be diminished if Bush lost the White House and their “eye-to-eye struggle” ended.
But the CIA analysts also felt that bin-Laden might have recognized how Bush’s policies – including the Guantanamo prison camp, the Abu Ghraib scandal and the endless bloodshed in Iraq – were serving al-Qaeda’s strategic goals for recruiting a new generation of jihadists.
“Certainly,” the CIA’s Miscik said, “he would want Bush to keep doing what he’s doing for a few more years,” according to Suskind’s account of the meeting.
As their internal assessment sank in, the CIA analysts drifted into silence, troubled by the implications of their own conclusions. “An ocean of hard truths before them – such as what did it say about U.S. policies that bin-Laden would want Bush reelected – remained untouched,” Suskind wrote.
One immediate consequence of bin-Laden breaking nearly a year of silence to issue the videotape the weekend before the U.S. presidential election was to give the Bush campaign a much needed boost. From a virtual dead heat, Bush opened up a six-point lead, according to one poll.
Symbiotic Relationship
The implications of this new evidence are troubling, too, for the American people as they head toward another election in November 2006 that also is viewed as a referendum on Bush’s prosecution of the “war on terror.”
As we have reported previously at Consortiumnews.com, a large body of evidence already existed supporting the view that the Bushes and the bin-Ladens have long operated with a symbiotic relationship that may be entirely unspoken but nevertheless has been a case of each family acting in ways that advance the interests of the other. [See “Osama’s Briar Patch” or “Is Bush al-Qaeda's 'Useful Idiot?'”]
Before al-Qaeda launched the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks against New York and Washington, Bush was stumbling in a presidency that many Americans felt was headed nowhere. As Bush took a month-long vacation at his Texas ranch in August 2001, his big issue was a plan to restrict stem-cell research on moral grounds.
Privately, Bush’s neoconservative advisers were chafing under what they saw as the complacency of the American people unwilling to take on the mantle of global policeman as the world’s sole superpower. The neocons hoped for some “Pearl Harbor” incident that would galvanize a public consensus for action against Iraq and other “rogue states.”
Other senior administration officials, such as Vice President Dick Cheney, dreamed of the restoration of the imperial presidency that – after Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal – had been cut down to size by Congress, the courts and the press. Only a national crisis would create a cover for a new assertion of presidential power.
Meanwhile, halfway around the world, bin-Laden and his al-Qaeda militants were facing defeat after defeat. Their brand of Islamic fundamentalism had been rejected in Muslim societies from Algeria and Egypt to Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Bin-Laden and his lieutenants had even been expelled from the Sudan.
Bin-Laden’s extremists had been chased to the farthest corners of the planet, in this case the caves of Afghanistan. At this critical juncture, al-Qaeda’s brain trust decided that their best hope was to strike at the United States and count on a clumsy reaction that would offend the Islamic world and rally angry young Muslims to al-Qaeda’s banner.
So, by early summer 2001, the clock ticked down to 9/11 as 19 al-Qaeda operatives positioned themselves inside the United States and prepared to attack. But U.S. intelligence analysts picked up evidence of al-Qaeda’s plans by sifting through the “chatter” of electronic intercepts. The U.S. warning system was “blinking red.”
‘Something So Big’
Over the weekend of July Fourth 2001, a well-placed U.S. intelligence source passed on a disturbing piece of information to then-New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who later recounted the incident in an interview with Alternet.
“The person told me that there was some concern about an intercept that had been picked up,” Miller said. “The incident that had gotten everyone’s attention was a conversation between two members of al-Qaeda. And they had been talking to one another, supposedly expressing disappointment that the United States had not chosen to retaliate more seriously against what had happened to the [destroyer USS] Cole [which was bombed on Oct. 12, 2000].
“And one al-Qaeda operative was overheard saying to the other, ‘Don’t worry; we’re planning something so big now that the U.S. will have to respond.’”
In the Alternet interview, published in May 2006 after Miller resigned from the Times, the reporter expressed regret that she had not been able to nail down enough details about the intercept to get the story into the newspaper.
But the significance of her recollection is that more than two months before the 9/11 attacks, the CIA knew that al-Qaeda was planning a major attack with the intent of inciting a U.S. military reaction – or in this case, an overreaction.
The CIA tried to warn Bush about the threat on Aug. 6, 2001, with the hope that presidential action could energize government agencies and head off the attack. The CIA sent analysts to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, to brief him and deliver a report entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.”
Bush was not pleased by the intrusion. He glared at the CIA briefer and snapped, “All right, you’ve covered your ass,” according to Suskind’s book.
Then, putting the CIA’s warning in the back of his mind and ordering no special response, Bush returned to a vacation of fishing, clearing brush and working on a speech about stem-cell research.
Al-Qaeda’s Gamble
For its part, al-Qaeda was running a risk that the United States might strike a precise and devastating blow against the terrorist organization, eliminating it as an effective force without alienating much of the Muslim world.
If that happened, the cause of Islamic extremism could have been set back years, without eliciting much sympathy from most Muslims for a band of killers who wantonly murdered innocent civilians.
After the 9/11 attacks, al-Qaeda’s gamble almost failed as the CIA, backed by U.S. Special Forces, ousted bin-Laden’s Taliban allies in Afghanistan and cornered much of the al-Qaeda leadership in the mountains of Tora Bora near the Pakistani border.
But instead of using U.S. ground troops to seal the border, Bush relied on the Pakistani army, which was known to have mixed sympathies about al-Qaeda. The Pakistani army moved its blocking force belatedly into position while bin-Laden and others from his inner circle escaped.
Then, instead of staying focused on bin-Laden and his fellow fugitives, Bush moved on to other objectives. Bush shifted U.S. Special Forces away from bin-Laden and al-Qaeda and toward Saddam Hussein and Iraq.
Many U.S. terrorism experts, including White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, were shocked at this strategy, since the intelligence community didn’t believe that Hussein’s secular dictatorship had any working relationship with al-Qaeda – and had no role in the 9/11 attacks.
Nevertheless, Bush ordered an invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003, ousting Hussein from power but also unleashing mayhem across Iraqi society. Soon, the Iraq War – combined with controversies over torture and mistreatment of Muslim detainees – were serving as recruitment posters for al-Qaeda.
Under Jordanian exile Zarqawi, al-Qaeda set up terrorist cells in central Iraq, taking root amid the weeds of sectarian violence and the nation’s general anarchy. Instead of an obscure group of misfits, al-Qaeda was achieving legendary status among many Muslims as the defenders of the Islamic holy lands, battling the new “crusaders” led by Bush.
Back in the USA
Meanwhile, back in the United States, the 9/11 attacks had allowed Bush to reinvent himself as the “war president” who operated almost without oversight. He saw his approval ratings surge from the 50s to the 90s – and watched as the Republican Party consolidated its control of the U.S. Congress in 2002.
Though the worsening bloodshed in Iraq eroded Bush’s popularity in 2004, political adviser Karl Rove still framed the election around Bush’s aggressive moves to defend the United States and to punish American enemies.
Whereas Bush was supposedly resolute, Democrat Kerry was portrayed as weak and indecisive, a “flip-flopper.” Kerry, however, scored some political points in the presidential debates by citing the debacle at Tora Bora that enabled bin-Laden to escape.
The race was considered neck-and-neck as it turned toward the final weekend of campaigning. Then, the shimmering image of Osama bin-Laden appeared on American televisions, speaking directly to the American people, mocking Bush and offering a kind of truce if U.S. forces withdrew from the Middle East.
“He [Bush] was more interested in listening to the child’s story about the goat rather than worry about what was happening to the [twin] towers,” bin-Laden said. “So, we had three times the time necessary to accomplish the events. Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands. Any nation that does not attack us will not be attacked.”
Though both Bush and Kerry denounced bin-Laden’s statement, right-wing pundits, bloggers and talk-show hosts portrayed it as an effort to hurt Bush and help Kerry – which understandably prompted the exact opposite reaction among many Americans. [For instance, conservative blog site, Little Green Footballs, headlined its Oct. 31, 2004, commentary as “Bin Laden Threatens U.S. States Not to Vote for Bush.”]
However, behind the walls of secrecy at Langley, Virginia, U.S. intelligence experts reviewed the evidence and concluded that bin-Laden had precisely the opposite intent. He was fully aware that his videotape would encourage the American people to do the opposite of what he recommended.
By demanding an American surrender, bin-Laden knew U.S. voters would instinctively want to fight. That way bin-Laden helped ensure that George W. Bush would stay in power, would continue his clumsy “war on terror” – and would drive thousands of new recruits into al-Qaeda’s welcoming arms.

Come on you guys act as if these postings are Errands and Steves fault ....... It isnt , they have a mental block .........
you see Errand and steve will see somthing that is said that shows a flaw in the way Bush governs and his policies ...... They cant refute it , so they go into Mental lockdown , the you hate America and side with the terrorist line of thinking is thier only defense .........My theory is they are republicans cause thier religion dictates it , while Jesus ( yes I did do some studing on him over the last month ) never did take a political Stance on any issue , Jesus was more about teaching men how to get to the kingdom of heaven , and sharing gods word ........... Some how what Jesus did , and what he didnt do got lost over the years , people actually believe Jesus was a republican and would have invaded Iraq .........
So Errand and Steve rely on thier preachers word to guide them , so if Preacher X says Jesus drove a Ford and liked Charlie Daniels , Errand and steve will take it as gospel .........
Errand is worse at not thinking for himself , Classic example was the Jane Fonda story , make a long story Short , Errand said he knew everything was true cause his Sargent said so .........
so lets go a little bit easier on these guys ........ it isnt thier fault . Mental blocks are a bítch ...........

As difficult as Spider's post is to read (;D) he does make the point. With Errand and Tensi it's finally starting to sink in that Bush is the worst failure of a president in the history of the U.S. and all they can think to do is lash out and smear their fellow Americans. It is understandable (even though I'm surprised that any American would go so low as to call someone they disagree with a "traitor" - but, hey - class is an individual thing and as O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter and Limbaugh have shown, over and over again, times have changed). Tough world for the puppets. After all, the neocons came in, took over the conservative party, and destroyed it.
Let's see:
1. Now America is stuck in a useless and expensive civil war in Iraq for no reason (other than the lies of Cheney et al) that has been so miserably managed that we now have no hope of victory.
2. Our enemies grow stronger every day due to Bush's F ups.
3. The ranks of Al Queda grow every day.
4. It is estimated by the IAEC that North Korea (which built absolutely zero nuclear weapons during Clinton's 8 years) will have the fissionable material for 10 weapons by the end of Bush's misanthropic reign.
5. The national debt and trade deficit are so large now that some kind of recession is inevitable.
6. The U.S. dollar is on the brink of collapse.
7. China has gotten ten times stronger building up its military on the backs of trade policies that sell out the jobs of Americans.
8. The American manufacturing base is gone.
9. Bush's economic revolution has created a host of parasitic corporate beasts who live offshore while they suck the wealth out of the U.S. for their own benefit.
10. America's standing at home and abroad has never been worse. We are far weaker than we were six years ago - AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!
So keep waving that Bushi flag boys. Is so much easier to do that than it is to grow a brain.

Sometimes statements are true or false independent of the individual making the statement. 45 million Americans don't have healthcare. That's a fact, regardless of who makes that statement. But I guess in your world if Amadenijad says, "Water is wet," that means water is no longer wet, huh?

We're not lashing out, we're educating those on the mane about the evils of liberalism. It's a cancer, and it's never worked anywhere.
Liberal ideas never win @ the ballot box, they are forced upon others thru activist judges and courts.
No presidential candidate has ever ran openly as a liberal and won the White House.
Liberals seek to blame America for the ills of the world, and generally when given the choice will choose the side of our enemies over the side of their own nation.
Liberals are always duped by our enemies into thinking that they can bargain with them. They seek to appease our enemies, and when our enemies rise up and slap the hell out of us...liberals have the nerve to look suprised
As for your list of things that are nothing but doom and gloom (as usual a liberal doing what he does best)....I for the life of me can't understand why you would continue to live in a nation that has done so much wrong, is being destroyed on a daily basis, is hated by everyone except those damn war mongering Jews in Israel, and is on the verge of financial collapse.

I see . still didnt happen though did it , yet you still claimed it did ........
Like I say it isnt your fault you have a mental block , see it isnt so much I believe Fonda , I believe Snopes , I believe the men that were in that line , they said it never happened .... But ignorence allowed this story to continue on ......... a Rumor spreaded by ignorant people like your self ....... But you are in good company errand , a lot of Pro ball players cant think for themselfs either ......... you just need to be guided through life ......
4. It is estimated by the IAEC that North Korea (which built absolutely zero nuclear weapons during Clinton's 8 years) will have the fissionable material for 10 weapons by the end of Bush's misanthropic reign.
North Korea was working on nukes all through Clinton's watch. It's not at all the case that they sat back and twiddled their thumbs.
5. The national debt and trade deficit are so large now that some kind of recession is inevitable.
Why conflate the two? The debt (which has been rising for decades and will continue to do so as the baby boomers suck the entitlement system dry) and the trade deficit are unrelated.
6. The U.S. dollar is on the brink of collapse.
That's not so clear.
8. The American manufacturing base is gone.
Wrong.
10. America's standing at home and abroad has never been worse. We are far weaker than we were six years ago - AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!

Ahmadinejad is mouse trying to roar
It never fails. In a critical moment -- exactly the wrong individual appears on the stage of history to make everything worse.
Ahmadinejad is another such individual. This man probably never met a Jew in his life, and knows nothing of Judaism. He won the presidential election on Iran NOT because of his views on Palestine or foreign policy, but because as the mayor of Tehran he had a reputation for honesty. He won the grass roots vote on his promise to clean house, eliminate corruption, and make government serve the man in the street.
His ideas on foreign policy and his bigotry were a non factor in the election.
Ahmadinejad's statements about the Holocaust probably have been misquoted in the West (does anyone in here speak Farsi)? But even so, Ahmadinejad gets the nincompoop of the year award for escalating the level of rhetoric. His inflammatory statements have played straight into the hands of the Zionists -- just as Nasser's blustery speeches did prior to the 67 war.
Even so, being a nincompoop is a far cry from Hitler.
Look at the history of Iran over the past 100 years. Iran has never been an aggressor to its neighbors. Indeed, Iran has been invaded several times (by the USSR, Britain, and Saddam). Nor does Iran have colonies or imperial footholds abroad.
If the spin maesters have their way, of course, none of this will matter in the coming days. Iran is already being portrayed as the greatest threat since Adolf Hitler. We saw the same demonization of Saddam Hussein prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Saddam was a killer and a thug, sure, but was strictly small time compared with Hitler and Stalin.
Ahmadinejad may be a bigot, but does this make him a Stalin? A Hitler? Naw. Try a small town ignoramus thrust upon the world stage, a mouse trying to roar.

Actually I think John Dean may have found the reason for this. His new book "Conservatives Without Conscience," he draws on university studies regarding the psychology of the "authority deferential mind," and how authority-driven leaders (principally Cheney he said on Countdown with Olbermann) adhere to this almost blind belief and conformity. Here's an Amazon clip:
In Conservatives Without Conscience, Dean not only highlights specific right-wing-driven GOP policies but also probes the conservative mind-set, identifying recurring qualities such as the unbridled viciousness toward those daring to disagree with them, as well as the big business favoritism that costs taxpayers billions.

I gotta read this thing, but can't spend $20-$30 on books anymore, and I'm #61 on the Seattle Public Library waiting list on this ... Although "Publishers Weekly" reviewed it badly.
One thing is FOR CERTAIN: Liberals are significantly more flexible than conservatives.

I keep hoping that the Right wing talk radio movement will run out of gas, but it keeps going, and going, and going. Pretty soon they're going to convince their troglodytes that "Liberals" were responsible for Auschwitz and the Inquistion. Gee, I remember W.F. Buckley (godfather of the Right) bitching and moaning for forty years about the liberalism of FDR and Truman and Kennedy. Remember FDR and Truman? The "appeasers" who kicked the crap out of the Nazis, Imperial Japan, and the Depression? Or JFK, who "appeased" those missiles right out of Cuba? How about the original liberals, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, et al. Yeah, those liberals have infected the U.S. all right. Infected it with liberty, which is the one thing the fascist troglodyte truly hates.
My favorite among the truly stupid Right winger arguments is the one where they remember (although dimly at best), that it was a liberal democrat who led us through the most dangerous conflicts of the 20th century - so what do they do? They pretend he wasn't a liberal.
