Live Thread: John Conyers' Downing Street Memo Circus
"He [Joe Wilson] just wants people to buy his book" (That, or he's trying to save his country. Either way.)
"LOL CSPAN must be sick and tired of them. For days they have been calling CSPAN trying to get them to cover it. CSPAN made them wait until last night before they even agreed. CSPAN got so sick and tired of them. Drove them crazy." (Uh, yeah.)
"I can't wait for nothing to happen with this," (Choosing party over country.)
"I feel bad for this mother, but why is she aligning herself with people who did nothing but aid the enemy who killed her son?" (I'd like to buy a clue, Alex.)
"Cindy Sheehan, disgraces her son's honorable service." (You are so sad.)
"Doesn't he know that the 9/11 Commission and the Senate Intelligence Committee discredited him and his loopy lies?" (Ummmm, what???)
"Its too bad a heroic American like her son has a peice of garbage like her for a Mom." (You are a disgraceful human being.)
"Its sad what happened to her son, but that doesnt give carte blanche to be a lying idiot." (Pathetic.)
"He knew the consequences when he joined up." (Precisely the point. He joined to honor his country. But his country dishonored him!)
"She wants somebody held accountable for her son's death. I'm betting it is NOT Saddam Hussein or al Qaeda." (Wow, the first spot on comment! ;-))
"I have some swear words for Cindy: Shut the Fuck Up!" (No. You shut the fuck up. Asshole.)
"Do you notice that we never hear from the parents of heroic soldiers who gave thier life for this nation who actually agree with the war." (Good point #2!)
"Fixing does NOT mean the same thing in the United States as it does in England!" (Do you believe anything any single right-winger said? This is baseless.)
"Why is it that all of these people are sleazy whimps? Oh, impeachment! Fun, fun!" (This guy has short-term memory loss.)
"FReepers have LONG memories!" (See above.)
"...and she used his death for political purposes..." (And we hate the troops?)
"9/11 has nothing to do with Iraq. Prove it. ;-)" (They still believe it!!!)
"I got a fatal error when I went to the web site [afterwodingstreet.org! Good Job LOL" (Exactly! That's because EVERYONE is hitting it! LOL! The forum is working!)
"FNC is airing another car chase." (I believe it.)
"What memo. This is all just about leftist propaganda." (Welcome to Earth?)
"We have been bombarding the Senate offices about Durbin's Gitmo remarks today... " (Remarks warrant protest, but a fake war warrants no response? Sad American.)
"If it was all about oil - we should have the lowest prices at the gas pump in the world - since we have all that oil! What idiots!" (I'm sure we don't care about the oil. What with our defending it and all.)
"Oh, here comes the REST of the commies! " (How democracy is considered Commie behavior, I have no idea.)
""I'm sitting here watching your `forum' on C-SPAN," McLaughlin wrote. "Just to let you know, it was your last. Don't bother asking [for a room] again." Totally COOL!" (But this isn't Commie behavior?!)
"Here we go. Pre-emption has no place in international law." (Bingo!)
"Jew hating $#^$^$^^$@!!!!!!!!! I'm so mad I'm calling Conyers office." (Where do you see a Jew-hater? You mention Israel and you're a...oh wait, Freepers. Sorry.)
"I got thru to Conyers, told them I am a watching the hearing on CSpan and that I am a Jew and to tell him and his staff they can all go to F***ing hell!! and slammed down the phone." (Classy.)
"Bonifaz the Scholar is comparing this memo to the Nixon tapes! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" (You're so spot on you don't even know.)
"Because this is not a real hearing, none of the witnesses is under oath, and they can say whatever they want." (And who's fault is that??)
"Joe Wilson says that the yellow cake was a COMPLETE fabrication." (Now you're getting it!)
