moron paranoid BU$HWIPES!

Gibby's "THE MAN". The only time bathtub boy gets it right is when the bubbles come up in the tub. What a blowhard.

Gibson is a ChickenHawk tool!!!

And. . .what's with that Televangelist hair???

Gibby supports Nazis just like O'Reilly and every one else at Fox-- that's why he criticizes Olby!

Using "Mister Bush" is simply outrageous. I've been following W. for years, and I've yet to see anything in his behavior that suggests that W. is indeed an adult man.

Gibson is smarter and more in tune with the truth than all the olbyloons that post here, combined. And they know it! HA!

Democrats/Liberals would be far more convincing if they weren't such creepy, hateful, lying bastards.

I want to do all sorts of dirty messy sexy things to Gibson.
There, I said it.
I am totally gay for you, G Dawg!
Call me!

I love you, asshole-Zizwheel!
keep up the good work.

Like kittens, playing with balls of yarn.

Someone say "playing with balls?!"

Gibson is as smart as his microphone.
He is impetuous and comes off as a wannabe Levin (who is magnificent BTW), imagine the idiocy , he's talking about KO's abysmal ratings when his own are in the pink sheets of radio. I dont know of even 1 radio station in a major American city where I live in that broadcasts his childish ramblings.

Brain, looks like I got to ya. HA! It's too damn easy.

The guy who coined the phrase " Keith Overbite" is ' magnificent'? Yikes. Nuff said.

"Overbite" not good enough for ya, how about what you call your wide Queen of the left, Her Thighness?

Re: Marching Orders

Listen, this Gibson guy is a pain in the ass and he's always critiquing and analyzing what I say, dammit, instead of buying into it like people are supposed to do when they listen to me!!! We need to take him down, but don't adddress his arguments about me directly. Just take your cue from how I run Countdown-- don't engage any opiniion that dissents from what I say. Instea,d you should attack him personally or idealogically, anything except the substance of his criticism of me.

Did you see how I did this with Howie Kurtz the other day in the Washington Post? He asked me how I was going to be an objective moderator of the upcoming Democratice debate when I am always in attack dog mode against Bush? I switched the subject and started talking about "right wing water carriers" and then declared myself a true "journalist" , which is a real whopper, but it works because Kurtz and his kind won't challenge me with facts.

But back to Gibson-- attack his big hair, his low ratings, call him names ("impetuous" "childish"), say that his fans are gay and call him a Nazi (well, better leave that alst one to me because I have experience dealing out that one).

OK, that's it. I'll be watching this board to make sure you being good little suck-ups and following orders.

Good job Keith, now go back to carrying Limbaugh's nightsoil.

Average Anal Pervert, we $ee you got out of keithy'$ tub finally to vi$it u$. What a good little AAP you are.

Macjoubert , please, leave the humor to the likes of Gibson and myself. Thank you.

Please.

2456: the number of times I've thought about having sex with Gibson today. Kinda light day.

Yep, only 2456, there's plenty more to come before midnight!

God, I'd love to get me a big-ass honking piece of that FDA-certified prime G-Dawg man meat!

Good boy, Gleason's Brain, you're following instructions exactly as I hoped in my memo to you at 2:36 am. Just to reinforce, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to actually try to debate Gibson's substantive criticisms of me. Just ad hominem attacks and smears. Good boy!

Funny, I haven't typed anything here remotely resembling substantive criticisms of anyone, much less Olby.

Maybe my mouth said something worth listening to, but I haven't sent anything that way in a long while.

Consider getting some rest, "keith"

WTF am I DOING?!

EVERY TIME. Why do I HAVE to ACT like an OBNOXIOUS sniveling UNoriginal aSs-wiPE?!!

"Funny, I haven't typed anything here remotely resembling substantive criticisms of anyone, much less Olby."

That's right, stooge! That's what I want, you birdbrain. We can't engage Gibson in a real argument about his criticism of me because I'll look like a moron. It's your job to launch off topic insults and smears to protect me. How many times do I have to explain this you? Sheesh, and I thought Musto was an idiot!

Keith's brain: "Why do I HAVE to ACT like an OBNOXIOUS sniveling UNoriginal aSa-wiPE?!!"

I guess for the same reason 'critics' like yourself do!

What is this word "unoriginal" that keeps popping up in my head mean?

Maybe Mike can help, although he doesn't seem to be the sharpest pencil in the box either.

I am a bird-brained moron. Stupid! So, stupid!

I wonder if my words to the Oblyloons sound as shrill as the ones I use in my own self-loathing.

Hmmm... still trying to generate a real argument to post in support of my next ex-husband, Gibson.

OK, this is bordering on cruelty, beating myself up like this.

Maybe Ghandi was right after all about facing violence with non-violence. Now if I could only figure out how to discipline myself long enough to not project my conditioned hatred on everyone else, even Olbyloons, those pussies.

Ew, pussies.

keith's brain,

John Gibson,,, what ran out of Michael Savage quotes ? John Gibson should be gutted and have his ' innards " scattered all over Washington DC

Geez,, I wonder why the albino did not say anything about the three shots in the middle of Tillman's forehead ?

In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.

"Gordon Brown has paved the way for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq by telling George Bush he would not delay their exit in order to show unity with the United States. "

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/article2820885.ece

I didn't see this yesterday as cee was posting the empty Camp David camera rhetoric of his favorite "funny Scotsman" Brown.

Anyone questioning the corrosive influence of our corporate owned mainstream media - for which the overt burlesque of FOX News operates merely as a cover - need only look at the story yesterday regarding the the Pollack/O'Hanlon op-ed ("A War we Might Just Win." ) in support of the "surge". MSM coverage of this predictable fluff-piece universally billed the authors as "Long-time war critics" (ABC World News) and "Liberals".

Kenneth Pollack -the author of "The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq" (2002) and countless pieces of neocon propaganda in the New Yorker and elsewhere that supported every excuse for the war proposed by the Bushies. Ditto on O'Hanlon - with the added detail that this "liberal" is a PNAC signator alongside Kristol, Bennett, Cheney, Rummy, et. al. That means card-carrying Neocon!

These assholes helped PLAN the war! - and have sold it at every turn; and the vapid, timid press obeys its corporate owners and in unison declare these guys to be anti-war lefties who had their minds changed by a stroll through Bagdhad.

Liberal Press? Please. Its a prostitute corporate press and its trying to make all America as stupid as the drowning rats we see here at OW. Its hard to get the truth through this dense bullshit screen - but we keep trying.

OLBERMANN has NOOOOO viewers and his regular ratings rival local news shows. He is part of the NBC dive to Liberal propaganda. Olbermann fails at everything...... he cant even get a date with Mary Kary the boobed stripper. She has more sense and isnt into Lefties,.

Mr. Loin:

I received a subscription to the WSJ when I was in high school, and I have subscribed ever since. When and if the deal is concluded, I stop subscribing. I refuse to have Murdoch filth in my home.

Clucker,

WSJ has had very reliable reporting - business people rely on it. Too bad its own opinion page never reads any of it as they have cranked out their free-market fundamentalism.

Did you know that bastard (Murdock) essentially lives in a palace outside of Bejing now? The Chinese oligarchy LOVES him; and he's selling America - probabaly Britain and Australia as well - out to them.

"Don't think! Buy crap! Buy more crap!" That is Murdock's Chinese mission.

Must be awful to live in Sir Loins world. Even at Huffington Post and other blueblogs, comments are admitting improved results in Iraq. Congressional Democrats are expected to split if the Petreus September report shows significant progress, which may happen.
Loin, remember, all is not lost if we don't quit the effort in Iraq.

What will you be "boycotting" next? LOL!

"Must be awful to live in Sir Loins world. ..."

It must be awful riding a humvee in summertime in northern Bagdhad too. Why aren't you there, carnie? Maybe its because - unlike poster cee - you perceive that:

"... all is not lost if we don't quit the effort in Iraq. "

I'm going to keep this one. It has to be the weakest attempt to defend of the occupation that I've ever seen.

But to be fair; you might be right. Bush's new head of the joint cheifs just said we'd be there several more years in large numbers. However horrible the prospect, no one can claim that another couple thousand dead soldiers would represent "all". - except from the perspectives of their parents, spouses, children.....

Who here believes that Clucker has ever been near an issue of WSJ?

Chicken Blogger, I insist that you give him his due respect complete with honorarium and proper appellation.

It is Monsieur Capon.

Now that that is out of the way I vote with the nonbelievers.

Grammie

Heh... "Monsieur Capon"

Random thought while waiting to unsubscribe from WSJ:

Which is worse, a failed cable news anchor or a failed administration?

Ethics, like empathy, is a foreign affair for neocons.

And we all know how well qualified our post boy W. is at all of the above.

NEOCONS! NEOCONS! NEOCONS! *yEaH* that's telling 'em!

That's a tough question, but I am going to go with the latter.

I'll be outvoted. Ms. Hawkins and Cecelia will go with the former, and Monsieur Royale will accuse me of avoiding the question by answering it.

If you so called "conservatives" believe in the Iraq war, why don't any of you actually put your lives on the line and sign up?!? I have heard that there is a $40,000 sign up bonus offered now. Get your "Patriotic, I support the troops" buns over there and support our troops. Show you actually support for them.

n8,

What would you expect? They're just following the noble example set by their president.

I vote with the nonbelievers ....

Yes, you have me down pat. There are very few men and women out there concerned with making a payroll and operating a business profitably that ever read the WSJ or Forbes or the Economist or any other business journals.

But I think I understand where you are coming from. Anyone who might have the goals I have described must surely be a RW'er. People who are politically liberal or progressive cannot be good fiscal stewards, nor can they lead traditional, respectable lives. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Armand Hammer, Howard Schultz, Warren Buffet, all without a lick of business acumen. Founding and running a successful business doesn't require a bit of that most liberal of all personal attributes, creativity, does it? Right again, Ms. Hawkins.

Do I need to give you citations to know who these people are or what their political and social inclinations are?

Congratulations, again, for such an on-target analysis.

Get your "Patriotic, I support the troops" buns over there and support our troops. Show you actually support for them.

Perhaps, you don't know that we are not permitted to raise that issue. Each and everyone of these people support the troops. They all have the appropriate bumper stickers and magnets on their automobiles to prove it.

Great little bit of mindreading from Gibson. Too bad Olbermann never said, what Gibson claims he said.

This site is idiotic if it relies on this kind of stuff.

Sigh.... oh, Katy.

You might as well spell your name correctly to credit the quality of "reporting" in your last post.

I've watched Olby [at least once] give on-air full-disclosure on GE's connection to the military industry.

[Fox News fans may want to go to dictionary.com for background on this shiny new word to their vocabulary].

No, I won't give you a f'n link. For the benefit of the entire remaining population in the room, please educate yourself better on your own topic before posting again.

You're an embarrassment to your branch.
I can't imagine how you'd handle live combat if a lone opinion can do so much damage. Now, shut up and go fight our war. You know you volunteered for it. You knew perfectly well what you were signing up for.

Posted by: at August 1, 2007 2:41 AM uhhh... I guess you haven't noticed how much the price of oil has shot up since we went over and turned off the spigots in Irag? And how we are strong arming the puppet Iragi democracy into signing a 30 year contract to "give " us 80% of their oil, and how our oil refineries in USA are mysteriously getting flooded out or hurricaned or catching fire, and they just can't quite get them back up and running again!!!!! Well, why don't you pull your head out of your oil well and smell the roses. Oh that's right, the president has no control over the price of oil.......

This is a laugh. Dick Nixon thinks "full disclosure" is such a high minded concept and he holds out Orange Boy as the examplar of such??? Good Lord, if this isn't the nuttiest poster from OlbyPlanet, I don't know who is.

There are countless examples of Olby's dishonesty and failure to fully disclose. This happens on a nightly basis when Olby presents the "news" on his "newscast" but permits only those who share his far left opinions to have a voice. No dissenting opinion ever. No facts that would ever challenge the mentally ill host.

Maybe the first step in "full disclosure" would be for MSLSD to abandon the pretense that Meltdown in a "newscast" rather than a far left fringe propaganda tool.

And yes, Dick I will provide a link to back up what I say.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080446/

why does Olbermutt symapthize with Nazis and Al Qaeda??? And why does he hate the US and our troops?

Tim: To answer your questions at 2:47 PM, let me ask you a couple:

- Why do you beat your wife?

- Why do you rob banks?

- Why do you like child abusers?

Tim, mike is THE biggest olbypologist in the world. Don't expect him to answer any of your questions.

"I don' defend Olbermahn!" said mike, at least 20 times.

"I was driven to defend him by you guys!" said mike a few weeks later.

Mike,

when you ask these questions, I'm sure you are really directing them to Olbermutt. It's only a matter of time before he gives a BJ to the Iranian president and the Ayatollah Khamenei. You can see it in his eyes how much he hates this country, and our troops. He seems to sympathize more with Guatanamo Bay captives than people who lost their lives on 9/11.

I recently started watching Gibson because of the clips on his show linked here.

I really like him! Gibson is obviously conservative but has always provided balance on the installments I 've seen.

It's great to see him take on Olbermann with humor, unlike the ham-fisted way O'Reilly has done it.

Gibby is pretty good at taking down Olby, but still comes in second to Glenn Beck. Beck has really scorched him! I will agree w/ you about BOR. He generally leaves Olbermann alone these days, which is for the best.

No Tim, I was directing them at YOU...Because YOU are the one making unfounded assumptions about what KO believes based on your extremely biased interpretations of his words. I strongly disagree with every one of your assumptions.

The questions I asked you are every bit as relevant as the 'questions' you asked about him....for exactly the same reasons.

Mike-

Olberbutt is the one that defended Sadaam Hussein when Condeleeza Rice compared him to Adolf Hitler. Olberbutt also never mentioned one word about the time when Iran held British sailors captive for two weeks for having ships docked in their seas. Heaven forbid he should ever mention anything bad about Iran. But he is the first to point out the Haditha murders, anything to make US Soliders look bad. Yeah, I would say it's pretty safe to say that four eyes sympathizes more with Iran that our troops. And dont tell me about biased interpretations, that is Olbermahn's MO, providing far left, biased views and not once having a conservative on his show to debate a topic. Only sock puppets are allowed on Meltdown, so they can fuel more propaganda that comes out of his disgusting mouth.

I resent the use of the term "far left fringe' to describe my political views and the implication that I sympathize with Iran more than out troops. I have already told you that I don't vote and I'm not political. Here's proof:

OJR (Online Journalism Review): How would you describe yourself politically on the liberal-to-conservative spectrum? How important do you think it is for MSM to be transparent on their political affiliations?

KO: I'm not political. . . I have no more interest in the political outcome of an election than I did in the winner or loser of any ballgame I ever covered.

http://www.ojr.org/ojr/stories/041130glaser/

Wrong again Tim: Those are only your extremely BIASED INTERPRETATIONS that result in you having an OPINION he 'defended' Saddam Hussein....And that goes for all your other assertions as well.

Your ridiculous assertions have been put forth and refuted a thousand times before on this very blog.

I have watched and, yes...AGREED with Olbermann on many of the very things he is accused by your ilk of being anti-American for. So either his accusers are wrong or that makes ME anti-American as well, and I'll tell you something Tim...this veteran is anything but anti-American!

Olbermann has never uttered one damned word favoring Iran over American Troops or any of the other ridiculous asserions you stated above.

Yes, Countdown is a left leaning, anti-administration news show. But the truth is, we absolutely need some left leaning shows to count the equally outrageous right leaning bias of the entire Fox 'News' network.

SO I ask you again Tim: WHEN are you going to stop beating your wife, abusing children, and robbing liquor stores?

Olberbutt is the one that defended Sadaam Hussein when Condeleeza Rice compared him to Adolf Hitler.
-----
I think what Mr. Olbermann did was to state that it was not an accurate comparison. He was correct. Saddaam was a hideous tyrant, but he acted in a very small theatre. Ms. Rice was engaging in hyperbole. In fact, Mr. Bush's Administration has always conferred upon Saddaam and Iraq an importance neither deserved. It explains the terrible mess the Administration has created.

Wrong again Tim: Those are only your extremely BIASED INTERPRETATIONS that result in you having an OPINION he 'defended' Saddam Hussein....And that goes for all your other assertions as well.

Your ridiculous assertions have been put forth and refuted a thousand times before on this very blog.

It seems like most people at this site support KO! Has anyone taken a poll?

The AP is really showing their bias again, except this time, they have been caught in the act.

Sharp eyed posters over at Free Republic spotted this story about the president's reaction (version #1) to news of Bill Clinton's upcoming surgery:

WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday wished Bill Clinton (news - web sites) "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."
"He's is in our thoughts and prayers," Bush said at a campaign rally.
Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them.
Bush offered his wishes while campaigning one day after accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in New York. Clinton was hospitalized in New York after complaining of mild chest pain and shortness of breath.
Bush recently praised Clinton when the former president went to the White House for the unveiling of his official portrait. He lauded Clinton for his knowledge, compassion and "the forward-looking spirit that Americans like in a president."

Needless to say, there was massive outrage. Many on the thread had listened to the speech live and heard no boos at all and were screaming liberal media bias...and rightfully so. Others e-mailed the AP to express their displeasure. So, minutes later, a new version gets posted to the same yahoo link and another thread pops up on Free Republic:

WEST ALLIS, Wis. - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday offered former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites), who faces heart bypass surgery, "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."
"He's is in our thoughts and prayers," Bush said at a campaign rally.

Someone at the Associated Press has some major explaining to do.

A Study of Bias in the Associated Press

On October 25, 2005 the American Civil Liberties (ACLU) posted to their website 44 autopsy reports, acquired from American military sources, covering the deaths of civilians who died while in US military prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2002-2004. A press release by ACLU announcing the deaths resulted from torture was immediately picked up by Associated Press (AP) wire service, making the story available to US corporate media nationwide. A thorough check of Nexus-Lexus and Proquest electronic data bases, using the keywords ACLU and autopsy, showed that at least 95 percent of the daily papers in the US did not to pick up the story nor did AP ever conduct follow up coverage on the issue.

The autopsy reports provide positive proof of widespread torture by US forces. Our research team at Project Censored felt that this story should have been front page news throughout the country. Instead the story was hardly covered and quickly disappeared.
One of forty-four US military autopsy reports reads as follows: “Final Autopsy Report: DOD 003164, (Detainee) Died as a result of asphyxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) due to strangulation as evidenced by the recently fractured hyoid bone in the neck and soft tissue hemorrhage extending downward to the level of the right thyroid cartilage. Autopsy revealed bone fracture, rib fractures, contusions in mid abdomen, back and buttocks extending to the left flank, abrasions, lateral buttocks. Contusions, back of legs and knees; abrasions on knees, left fingers and encircling to left wrist. Lacerations and superficial cuts, right 4th and 5th fingers. Also, blunt force injuries, predominately recent contusions (bruises) on the torso and lower extremities. Abrasions on left wrist are consistent with use of restraints. No evidence of defense injuries or natural disease. Manner of death is homicide. Whitehorse Detainment Facility, Nasiriyah, Iraq.”

A second report describes how a 27-year-old Iraqi male died while being interrogated by Navy Seals on April 5, 2004 in Mosul, Iraq. During his confinement he was hooded, flex-cuffed, sleep deprived and subjected to hot and cold environmental conditions, including the use of cold water on his body and hood. The exact cause of death was “undetermined” although the autopsy stated that hypothermia may have contributed to his death.
Another Iraqi detainee died on January 9, 2004 in Al Asad, Iraq, while being interrogated. He was standing, shackled to the top of a doorframe with a gag in his mouth, at the time he died. The cause of death was asphyxia and blunt force injuries.
Anthony Romero, Executive Director of ACLU stated, “There is no question that US interrogations have resulted in deaths.” ACLU attorney Amrit Sing adds, “These documents present irrefutable evidence that US operatives tortured detainees to death during interrogations.”

Our research showed that the Los Angeles Times covered the story on page A-4 with a 635-word report headlined “Autopsies Support Abuse Allegations.” Fewer than a dozen other daily newspapers including: Bangor Daily News, Maine, page 8; Telegraph-Herald, Dubuque Iowa, page 6; Charleston Gazette, page 5; Advocate, Baton Rouge, page 11; and a half dozen others actually covered the story. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Seattle Times buried the story inside general Iraq news articles. USA Today posted the story on their website. MSNBC posted the story to their website, but apparently did not consider it newsworthy enough to air on television.

Given that nearly every daily newspaper in the United States subscribes to AP wire service and that AP had in fact sent out the torture story led us to question if story selection bias was widespread within US newspapers and if bias was evident within the AP system itself.

The AP's Biased Global Warming Coverage
Posted by Amy Ridenour · 11 February 2005 · Climate

The Associated Press seems determined to spin global warming, even at the cost of its own reputation.

On The National Center's website I have analyzed several recent AP wire stories on global warming, all of which are breathtakingly biased in favor of the global warming theory.

Bias, however, is standard fare for global warming reporting. What is striking is that objective facts are missreported in the service of that bias. (Dan Rather, call your office).

For example, readers are told that "greenhouse gases" are in the atmosphere "mostly from fossil-fuel burning."

Actually, the major greenhouse gas is water vapor, but in the interest of charity, we'll put that aside and focus on carbon dioxide. "Most" of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does not come from burning fossil fuels -- only about 14 percent of it does. Furthermore, carbon dioxide accounts for less than ten percent of the greenhouse effect, as carbon dioxide's ability to absorb heat is quite limited.

There's more.

A year ago, I wrote a similar piece about the AP's global warming coverage, correcting the same errors and several others. It looks like the AP couldn't be bothered with fact-checkers a year ago and it still can't.

The nitwit has gone into his manic cutting-and-pasting cycle. Deluges of tedious drivel running off into the cyber-sewer .... I suspect we'd all be better off going to Debbie Schlussel or some other equally liberal site until he re-enters the depressive cycle and cyberspace is again safe for good and decent folk.

Check out this change in the story about Palestinians entering Israel. From yesterday’s story:

Hamas, which wrested control of the Gaza Strip last month, denounced the deal since it allowed Israel to decide who could enter Gaza. Hamas officials and supporters would presumably not be allowed to enter through Israel.

And now, today’s:

Hamas has criticized the plan to transfer the stranded Palestinians through the Al-Oja and Erez crossings, saying it increases Israel’s control over Gaza. Hamas officials and supporters would presumably not be allowed to enter through Israel

Back to the AP's non-coverage:

In Framingham, Mass., near Boston, a small group protesting illegal immigration was met by a much larger group of counter-demonstrators, some of whom surrounded them and temporarily disrupted the protest.
I'd like to know a bit more about what sounds like a far-left attempt to stifle free speech, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, that's not the kind of news reporting the AP has in mind. And:

In Danbury, Conn., about 50 people calling themselves the Connecticut Citizens for Immigration Control spent about two hours chanting and holding signs that read "Arrest Illegal Employers." Several dozen people held a counterprotest across the street.
As the link shows, they have a website and everything, so "calling themselves" seems to diminish the fact that they seem to be a real organization.

The June 27, 2006 Associated Press (AP) article titled “Scientists OK Gore’s Movie for Accuracy” by Seth Borenstein raises some serious questions about AP’s bias and methodology.

AP chose to ignore the scores of scientists who have harshly criticized the science presented in former Vice President Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth.”

In the interest of full disclosure, the AP should release the names of the “more than 100 top climate researchers” they attempted to contact to review “An Inconvenient Truth.” AP should also name all 19 scientists who gave Gore “five stars for accuracy.” AP claims 19 scientists viewed Gore’s movie, but it only quotes five of them in its article. AP should also release the names of the so-called scientific “skeptics” they claim to have contacted.

The AP article quotes Robert Correll, the chairman of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment group. It appears from the article that Correll has a personal relationship with Gore, having viewed the film at a private screening at the invitation of the former Vice President. In addition, Correll’s reported links as an “affiliate” of a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm that provides “expert testimony” in trials and his reported sponsorship by the left-leaning Packard Foundation, were not disclosed by AP. See http://www.junkscience.com/feb06.htm

The AP also chose to ignore Gore’s reliance on the now-discredited “hockey stick” by Dr. Michael Mann, which claims that temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere remained relatively stable over 900 years, then spiked upward in the 20th century, and that the 1990’s were the warmest decade in at least 1000 years. Last week’s National Academy of Sciences report dispelled Mann’s often cited claims by reaffirming the existence of both the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. See Senator Inhofe’s statement on the broken “Hockey Stick.”

I wouldn't expect anything more from you, except maybe a "bushwipe" or 2.
P.S. How was your party in celebration of the soldier getting 15 yrs for defending your sorry ass to spread hate?

What happened to your "gone by monday" theory that you got from the huffpo 6 months ago? Is it monday, yet? LOL!

That would be known as the "divert" card played by the infamous patsy/why/anon and many others.

1. Billary=unelectable
2. Obama=has no clue about foreign policy as proven this week w/his bumbling and backpedaling.
Edwards="I only took $1000 from news corp" when it was actually $500,000! A boldface lie. Then again, he is an ambulance chaser.

Who's doing this "steamrolling" into the Whitehouse? Kusinich? LOL!

51% of voters have said that they WOULD NOT vote for Hillary under any circumstances. Cuts her out. I don't care what any (d) polls say.

"RK continues to dwell in the cellar of defeat and humiliation."

He calls it home, his mom makes him pancakes every morning when he wakes up, then ties his shoes for him, walks him to the bus stop where he gets on the short bus, then she does his homework all while he stares in the corner and denies everything that ever happened that disagrees with his worldview.

"Kusinich"

And RK proves yet again that he has the spelling capabilities of a 5 year old.

Its Kucinich, you dolt

And I know how you just hate for reality to get in the way of your opinions, but check on this website...
http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08gen.htm

Its all the presidential polls lined up by candidate, polling organization, ect ect. Hillary beats Guiliani by 6% getting 47% of the vote. Barrack wins by 5% geting 45% of the vote. Even the FOX Poll has Hillary beating Guiliani. The most recent Poll from Diageo/Hotline has a "Democratic Candidate" beating a "Republican Candidate" 51% of the vote to 27% Plus tons of other polls. There are one or two that have Guiliani beating Clinton, but its only by 2-3% and its only a few polls. the vast majority show Clinton winning, or Obama winning in all scenarios.

Certainly they're appalled over this sentence.

Or aren't Iraqi lives worth that much to the RWer's ?

If you were in tune to what is REALLY happening here, you would know that murderers and rapists here in the states often get off with just probation. Especially rapists and pedophiles. Liberal judges are sympathetic to these scoundrels. Don't you ever watch O'Reilly? He exposes these judges every time it happens, frankly, far too often. Olbermahn makes Bill wpitw every night, go figure.

.... murderers and rapists here in the states often get off with just probation. Especially rapists and pedophiles.
---------------------------
Often? The correct adverb would be "rarely". In fact, the statement is just plain stupid, with no basis in fact.

Monsieur Royale, you really need to broaden your information base. If you are going to rely solely on your Wiener and BOR, you are going to always come up short.

I have found a reliable source of information to be AP reports, the basis for a significant part of the articles in all American newspapers. You would find that such sentences are rare, in deed, and in the few instances in which these happen, some anomaly in law or in the facts exists. Would you like a susbcription, perhaps for the Eid?

Murderers and rapists OFTEN get probation, indeed! Debunked once again. But, crawl back up and get some sleep. Your usual analytical prowess seems to be slipping a bit. Get your caregiver to fix you some Ovaltine (please, stay away from the stove yourself). You'll sleep well. Perhaps, you'll dream about riding a magnificent pony through the magic forest in which you live. When you awaken, you'll be refreshed and being able to take on the world with at least one lobe functioning.

Your opinion "proves" me wrong? Hardly.

By the way, Pea Brain, I meant to tell you: The sentence itself was the result of a plea bargain. The JURY (i.e. not the judge) had wanted to sentence to Life Without Parole, which means just that, life. The JUDGE (i.e., not the jury) accepted and ordered 110 years, because that makes release on probation possible after only 10 years. Assuming that happens, as it likely will, I am sure you will agree that 10 years is a light sentence for the brutal, premeditated rape the JURY (i.e. not the Judge) found had been committed.

It is interesting how you tend to leave key pieces of information (which support your Radical Right Wing agenda) out of your interminible cut-and-paste jobs, which I guess are really cut-and-paste-and-cut jobs, huh?

I wouldn't let a Republican do that to me for any less than US $50.00, and she would have to meet the highest standards of appearance and hygiene at that.

"Your opinion "proves" me wrong? Hardly."

Royalking, what does prove you wrong? I've tried using facts, but you still denied being proved wrong. I've tried sourcing my points for my opinion, still denied being wrong. So why not opinions? Obviously nothing else is capable of proving you wrong.

Royalking, what does prove you wrong?
--------------------------------------------
The concept of circumnavigation of a round Earth, the rising of the sun in east and the setting in the west, the law of gravity, to name just a few, but the good sense of the American people as well. Over time, pea-brained, crackpots are consigned to the rubbish heap, and Monsieur Royale is a bit ripe this morning.
