Also, when did the entire Democratic platform officially become "Republicans are evil"? Maybe instead of focusing so hard on trying to grab votes by making Republicans look bad, they should have the novel idea of, ohh, coming up with their own platform and direction? Bush won't be around forever, and the Dems still haven't made any sort of identity outside of "Bush is Evil".

You can't be serious. Why not go all the way and use this set of distortions as a template?

Libby Indictment: News Media Should Be Careful What They Wish For
Jim Kouri
October 29, 2005
..........When Libby unleashes his attorneys on Fitzgerald's investigation including his witnesses, reports and notes, the mainstream news media may end up with more than they bargained for.
In the Saturday Washington Post, on page 23 -- far from the page one headlines -- two Washington attorneys, David Rivkin and Lee Casey, analyzed the Plame Game. They wrote:
"It is clear that, at least by sometime in January 2004 -- and probably much earlier -- Fitzgerald knew this law [against divulging the identity of a covert CIA agent] had not been violated. Plame was not a "covert" agent but a bureaucrat working at CIA headquarters. Instead of closing shop, however, Fitzgerald sought an expansion of his mandate and has now charged offenses that grew entirely out of the investigation itself. In other words, there was no crime when the investigation started, only, allegedly, after it finished. Unfortunately, for special counsels, as under the code of the samurai, once the sword is drawn it must taste blood."
In fact, during the prosecutor's press conference, he chose to use the term "classified" rather than "covert" during his performance. He is allowed to say whatever he wishes to say, but the fact of the matter is that this was not an espionage case dealing with classified material.....
...........The mainstream media want Americans to forget, for instance, that Wilson served as presidential hopeful John Kerry's foreign policy adviser. Wilson's photograph and biography were placed on Kerry's campaign website and they mysteriously disappeared from the website when it was revealed that Joe Wilson is a liar. The mainstream media in turn backed off, at least until after the 2004 election. Then they resurrected Wilson.
If you read anything in the news about Wilson and Plame, you will not be told:
* Wilson was recommended by his CIA wife for the job of going to Africa to investigate the allegation that Saddam Hussein tried to obtain yellow-cake uranium for his nuclear program. Wilson denied his wife had anything to do with his mission until a memorandum written by Plame recommending her husband surfaced.
* Wilson has absolutely no experience in intelligence gathering or investigation. His experience consists of glad-handing other elites who know nothing about intelligence gathering and analysis or investigation.
* Wilson never had to go through the usual CIA procedure of signing a nondisclosure agreement to prevent his blabbing to the press about his so-called fact finding mission. If he did, he wouldn't be blabbing like a lonely housewife to the mainstream media.
* Wilson is very cozy with members of the elite media. They share the same friends in Washington and party at the same parties.
* Wilson and Plame have visions of themselves as Mr. Steed and Mrs. Peel, the cartoonish spooks in the 1960s show "The Avengers." This may seem irrelevant, but it goes to the issue of their credibility as serious government employees.
There is so much more, but the reader gets my drift. The two-year grand jury investigation was a vehicle for discrediting the Bush Administration and its war against terrorists, especially actions against Iraq. It's purpose was not to protect a CIA agent, as is being touted by the liberal news people, because the CIA agent was not harmed. Her husband used the investigation to resurrect himself so he could be placed on a pedestal by the Democrats and their media stooges. He knows the media hate Bush as much as he does, so they won't reveal his lies, half-truths and left-wing politics.
It falls on the new media <b>(and forget Fox News Channel, they've veered to the left)</b> to expose Wilson, Plame and the news media in this public lynching of a career public servant...

alansmithee, I doubt that most of our membership will receive the contents of your post (and that of powerclown's) with anymore enthusiasm than they will the "material" that I quoted above.
What you are attempting here will be much more effective if you can successfully discredit Patrick Fitzgerald, the findings in his indictment of Libby, and his comments in his Oct. 28 press conference, than if you ignore what he has placed in the public record, or if you act as if his investigation and prosecution do not matter, as you appear to be doing here. |
