Welcome to Bushworld.

I guess I just still have my sense of humor, and you are sputtering personal attacks.

Telling. Very telling.

Joe Conason is one of the better Coulter debunkers. His book, The Hunting of the President, co-written with Gene Lyons is a well-documented, excellent read.

Here is his take on Treason.


One from a different author on spinsanity.com.

Of course not, and now we know why: In her book "Treason," Ann Coulter reveals that her role model is Joe McCarthy. And her grasp of facts is even worse than her judgment..

Ah. Another liberal opinion.

Riveting.

That clicking sound is the author's pen. It appears that he is out of ammo.

oh buoy....

....you just can't get enough of this.

meri....please be serious...just because you do a google search for something and you get hits on it....does not mean that it is "fact". You were joking I hope.
As for all of your "documented facts"...lets take a closer look shall we?

quote:
" In Bushworld, we can create an exciting Iraqi democracy as long as it doesn't control its own military, pass any laws or have any power. "

I think everyone has heard Bush repeatedly state that the transfer of power will take place as scheduled. There is an Iraqi governing council in place...for some time now. Iraqi military and police are participating in raids and arrests and battles every day and have been for several months.

quote:
"In Bushworld, it was worth going to war so Iraqis could express their feelings ("Down With America!") without having their tongues cut out, although we cannot yet allow them to express intemperate feelings in newspapers ("Down With America!") without shutting them down"

As this reads it sounds as if all Iraqis are crowding the streets shouting "down with America"...this clearly is not the case. What the mainstream media won't show you...EVER....are the unbelievable good changes that have been made in Iraq. Do a google search on that. A newspaper run by a radical cleric is shut down to prevent more RADICAL movements from gaining momentum. Sounds logical to me.

quote:
" In Bushworld, it's OK to run for re-election as the avenger of 9-11, even as you make secret deals with the Arab kingdom where most of the 9-11 hijackers came from. "

This is an interesting bit of speculation that comes from the attempt to portray any dealings that we might have with Saudia Arabia as sinister and secret. Anyone who knows anything about that country knows that the general population is so far removed from the ruling class that it would be a hard stretch to connect the men with Saudi backgrounds involved in 9/11 to the kingdoms ruling family. This is conspiracy at the very least. Not even close to fact.

quote:
"In Bushworld, you get to strut around like a tough military guy and paint your rival as a chicken hawk, even though he's the one who won medals in combat and was praised by his superior officers for fulfilling all his obligations. "

What is missing from this "factual" statement is that Kerry served a whopping 4 months in combat and "won" medals with a couple of lame wounds before he high-tailed it out of there. There are plenty of people who served with Kerry including superiors who don't come close to praising him. As for Bush and his obligations...this is a tired rant...still no real evidence that he didn't fulfil his obligations.

quote:
"In Bushworld, you can reign as the antiterror president even after hearing an intelligence report about al-Qaida's plans to attack America and then stepping outside to clear brush. "

So this is fact huh? She is insinuating that Bush KNEW of the impending attack and ignored it to go do yard work. Yeah..thats factual.

quote:
" In Bushworld, they struggle to keep church and state separate in Iraq, even as they increasingly merge the two in America. "

A muslim girl in OK city is allowed to attend school with her religion based head wear...but my son can't pray in school, the principal can't display the 10 commandments in his office...judges are thrown out because they take a stand on the 10 commandments. I thought "merge" meant come together? That statement is enough to make you roll your eyes at Dowd.

quote:
"In Bushworld, imperfect intelligence is good enough to knock over Iraq. But even better evidence that North Korea is building the weapons that Saddam could only dream about is hidden away. "

Give me a break. Every friggin Dem that is barking about the war agreed there was reason enough to go into Iraq to find out and clear out. As for N. Korea...maybe they are farther down the list. Maybe Syria and Iran are next followed by N. Korea.

Do you think Dowd would cheer Bush on if he launched an attack on N. Korea for....as she states...."better evidence"? I think not.

Ok...enough..i'm tired of reading it.

meri...there is very little fact contained in this "opinion" column. This is nothing more than Dowd taking her shots as she is more than welcome to do. For you to flatly state that this is all undeniable fact is just silly.

I hope this was civilized enough for you.

For the record...I think Ann Coulter is a neo-con blow hard. Plus she has a dead eye and is hard to look at. So there.

What she is referring to here is that fact that Bush was in Crawford on August 6, 2001 when the infamous Presidential Daily Briefing was presented to him. Condi and other White House Officials now state that Bush lit a fire under them to combat this threat. Yet if you look back at the press reports from August, Bush was taking reporters along to show them how he would clear the non-native species of plants from his ranch; clearing brush. Reporters noted no significant increase in activity among cabinet members. In fact, the Director of the CIA was in Washington and not making daily briefings to the President during this time period.

Is that what the deal is? I knew she looked a little shifty but couldn't put my finger on it.

So, in other words, she is making a guess, based on the fact that reporters didn't notice anything.

Of course. How could we have missed this?

Hillary is hard to look at.

Greta before her surgery is hard to look at.

Nancy Pelosi is hard to look at.

Not Ann Coulter.

Why Bother?

So, in other words, she is making a guess, based on the fact that reporters didn't notice anything.

She also forgets what was on that PDB. NOTHING! It had historical notations and stated that the FBI had 70 plus investigations going on concerning items on the PDB. The PDB did not give Bush any info on any attack. Period. 911 was in the planning and rehersal stages for over two years. Why isn't Clintons head on a platter? Oh, YA, he is a liberal so it was not his fault.

 

[Flynfish]

On a side note, Al Franken is 53 today. Happy Birthday and may you write many more informative books. Thanks for opening my eyes!

Nice try fly

not taking that bait


TB....I agree that those you mention are MUCH harder to look at than Ann....but man...her dead eye reminds me of my 9th grade algebra teacher that was always looking out the window when he talked to me. She doesn't impress me much.
