"Propagannon" confirmed : Fake reporter in WH press conferences.

--- Quote from: DrewKaree on February 13, 2005, 10:06:15 am ---So in order to be a "legitimate journalist", you must have a degree. Interesting. Is that due to hiring practices, or that you must have been "properly schooled" in order to be able to use the title of journalist?
--- End quote ---
Oh Noooz!! My Liberal Elite sensibilities have once again clouded my judgment. I meant to say that a person may pick any title they want, without the need for education, training and/or experience. Therefore, you must now address me as Dr.Curmudgeon, and as such, I declare you certifiably insane.
Don't you find it the least bit sad that you've got to continually lower the standards, for just about everything, in support of Bush??
Your completely missing the fact that Guckert was already denied press credentials by one branch of our government for not meeting their established standards. He was then granted access by the WH, on a DAY BY DAY basis, for two years, even though they share the SAME REQUIREMENTS! These reporters are vetted by the FBI, and must pass background checks in order to make it into the WH press corp. Somehow, his lack of requirements went "unnoticed" all that time, if we're to believe he wasn't planted.
--- Quote ---You continually avoided saying ANYTHING about Dan Rather... Your words are anything BUT genuine on this point.
--- End quote ---
You neglected to quote the second half of my statement. Anyhow, this issue has nothing to do with Dan Rather, so enjoy suckin' on the Red Herring.
--- Quote ---Never mind the fact that the website's story was proven to be true, if YOU don't bash the people who show the bias of the major news outlets, who will?

"Maryland's faux-family-values Governor Erlich had to fire his aide for getting caught spreading FALSE rumors about the family life of a potential opponent... One of his favorite fora for dishing this made-up dirt? FreeRepublic."
Yeah. Who will, Drew? Who will?
--- Quote ---Trying to equate what you do with "holding this administration accountable" is laughable, and you MIGHT be able to fool some folks into believing it, if you weren't so transparent and your very own words didn't tell a far different story than you wish to paint about yourself.
--- End quote ---
Ever the conspiracy theorist Drew. Ssshhhh! I'm really out to turn America into a Islamic Utopia. Don't tell anyone. Sheesh.. I thought us "lefties" were the tin-foil hat crowd.
--- Quote ---You seem to think ALL that was at issue with Clinton was a blow job.
--- End quote ---
I've never met a man who should have lost his job for lying about a blow job. Have you? Btw, it wasn't about a blow job. It was about Republicans trying to bring down one of the most popular and successful Democratic president's of our time. All they could get him on was lying about a personal matter that any man on earth would probably lie about if caught. I'm not justifying his actions, I just don't think they warrant the amount of vile hatred spewed forth from your side. Talk about transparent. Your "moral outrage" was scripted by Ken Starr.
--- Quote ---It's probably why folks have a hard time not choking when you offer platitudes such as "investigate the story yourself", "let the story speak for itself", or "it's my duty to hold him accountable". You'd probably garner a lot more respectability if you'd simply follow your own advice.
--- End quote ---
And you'd have a lot more respectability if you'd actually address the issue at hand, and the topic of this thread, as opposed to making this about Dan Rather, Clinton and mr.Curmudgeon.

P.S. I always know when you're defending the indefensible, because you always try to come after me and completely avoid the topic, or like fredster, you just change it completely.

Keep in mind that EVERYONE, even the French and Germans, were in full agreement that he must possess those weapons.
--- End quote ---
That fact will NEVER be accepted.
--- End quote ---
So you are actually *FOR* a "Global Test"? Huh. Who'da thunk it?!
The French and Germans believed what the Bush administration told them, because America once had integrity. They won't be fooled again. Case in point, even the Brits are beginning to distance themselves from the U.S. in regards to Bush's failing about over Iran.
"JACK STRAW has drawn up a dossier putting the case against a military attack on Iran amid fears that President George W Bush
Crazy Cooter:
Fredster, go to the UN website to see what they have done in the past 20 years, besides, the UN isn't "ours" to disban.
ChadTower:
Fact no one has mentioned about those Iraqi casualties:
A large % of them were killed by Iraqis.

What percentage?
Via Iraqbodycount.org: "Individual or cumulative deaths as directly reported by the media or tallied by official bodies (for instance, by hospitals, morgues and, in a few cases so far, NGOs), and subsequently reported in the media" show that U.S. military has killed at least 18,000+ civilians. I'd hazard a guess that the number is *well* beyond that, as cluster bombs and bunker busters have a habit of leaving nothing but dust.
And either way, we brought the civil unrest, so your claim of large percentages of people being killed by other Iraqis doesn't wash the blood off of U.S. hands. No matter how hard you scrub.
