Bill O's in Trouble

I always laugh when people's ego get in the way of logic and that's what's happening in the Bill O'Idiot situation. We have heard the racist things he said (even though he must have felt they weren't intended that way) but instead of saying it was a mistake and that wasn't intended he goes and attacks the media who reported WHAT HE SAID.

That's why this won't go away so easily and it shouldn't cause what he said was wrong, demeaning and outright ignorant.

But that's what O'Idiot is.

And also remember that's also what got Imus fired so Bill I suggest you try to man up for once.

Dead Silence

You know I've been wondering where Robert and Geoffrey Church have been. Their silence after I have proven how the media is conservative is pretty funny considering all they have said is how liberal the media is. I guess like the Republicans they are they can't handle facts and the truth.


Thanks for playing gentlemen.

Conservative Media

As the silence continues from my point proven how the media is NOT LIBERAL I would like to give another example:

As the talk about the Democratic fundraiser being arrested and how all the headlines were right around that story here is some stories that the conservative media ignored:

http://robertlichfield.blogspot.com/

That story leads to a link showing a top fundraiser for Mitt Romney being arrested. I saw nothing on the news. ANY news network

http://bloggernista.com/category/john-mccain/page/2/

That leads to a story about McCain's Florida Chairman Bob Allen getting arrested. Made some headlines for the racist remarks he made but disappeared after awhile.

http://jonesreport.com/articles/050607_reporter_arrested_giuliani_orders.html

This shows how a reporter was arrested after godforbid asking Guliani a question. Seriously.

Now again I say if this were a liberal media these would be major stories but I hear nothing for the reason the media is right-wing.

Who's Freedom is it?

I notice the silence from Robert and Geoffrey Church when I talk about the outcry from the right-wing media on the moveon.org add. Again today Bill O is at it again saying how that one add could affect her becoming president.

Again I ask a simple question: Where were the so-called liberal media when the swift boaters were attacking John Kerry and comparing Max Cleeland to Osama Bin Laden? Where is the Senate condemning them? Where is the media when Rush compares Barrack Obama to Osama (which he does consistantly) Where is the so-called liberal media when the right continuously says how the liberals are committing treason cause we are against the war?

Why is it that freedom of speech applies only to the right-wing of America and not EVERYONE in America?

Hypocrites

I would like to talk YET AGAIN how these Republicans in Senate and the House are hypocrites and here is the best proof of them all. We have serous issues like Iraq, Global Warming, major companies importing tainted good from China, gas prices and what do the Republicans do? Have a vote condemning a moveon.org ad that attacks Petraeus! Just to show what Republicans think are a waste of time here are some quotes on things like the Iraq War:

“Mr. President, we have nearly finished this little exhibition, which was staged, I assume, for the benefit of a briefly amused press corps and in deference to political activists opposed to the war.” [Sen. John McCain, 7/18/07]

“We have just seen a procedure in the last 24 hours that was a colossal waste of time.” [Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), 7/18/07]

“I want an open and honest debate, and not political posturing. I was sent here to take action, not waste time on non-binding and empty resolutions.” [Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY), 2/23/07]

Thanks to thinkprogress.org for that.

Now I also wonder where these same Republicans are when the swiftboaters were attacking John Kerry when he was running for President? The silence was deafening.

And a reminder that moveon.org is about associated to Democrats as Swift boaters were to Republicans.

If that's not a hypocrite I don't know what is.

22 Most Corrupt

http://www.beyonddelay.org/node/373

My friends at CREW have their annual list of most Corrupt Members of Congress and Senate up. Here is the list (not surprisingly most of them are Republicans)

• Sen. Pete V. Domenici (R-NM)
• Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
• Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
• Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK)
• Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
• Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-CA)
• Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL)
• Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA)
• Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)
• Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-LA)
• Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
• Rep. Gary G. Miller (R-CA)
• Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (D-WV)
• Rep. Timothy F. Murphy (R-PA)
• Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA)
• Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM)
• Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ)
• Rep. Harold Rogers (R-KY)
• Rep. David Scott (D-GA)
• Rep. Jerry Weller (R-IL)
• Rep. Heather A. Wilson (R-NM)
• Rep. Don Young (R-AK)

To me the most surprising name is Murtha but what can you do. It's not surprising that most of the list is Republicans because instead of the party of values they know nothing about them.

O'Idiot

So as usual I'm reading Bill O'Idiot's column in the Los Angeles Daily News to see what misinformation he has today and as always he is lying and spreading lies.

Today he is talking about Brian DePalma's new movie which is about a REAL LIFE EVENT where three soldiers ended up being tried, convicted and sentenced for life after raping an Iraqi woman and murdering her family.

Now I realize if it's up to O'Idiot there would be no reporting on the war but this is important because it shows how disrespectfully we, as occupiers, are treating Iraqi citizens. I'm sure it happens more then we will ever know and will ever find out.

But O'Idiot thinks this is just normal behavior. In fact his last quote "Fair minded Americans should realize that in any war, mistakes will be made; horryfying things like Abu Gharib will happen. Thise things need to be dealt with, but not exploited for political gain.

I'm not sure if you realize this but I never heard any statements from DePalma saying yeah this film will help Democrats and Republicans exploit the war every chance they get.

Also the reason our cause is because of events like this and Abu Gharib and the fact we are kidnapping citizens of Iraq and other countries and sending them to places like Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay. That's what's hurting our cause.

Observations on Petraeus

First thanks to John Warner (R,Va.) for asking the right question to Petraeus yesterday. The question was "are we any safer since we are in Iraq?" and the answer was "I don't know." So I ask WHY THE HELL ARE WE IN IRAQ IF WaxtxE ARE NO SAFER THEN WE WERE BEFORE?

Also the troop "withdraw" is nothing of the sort. All they are doing is leaving the troop level the same as it was BEFORE THE SURGE! Don't believe the lies by Bush.

And understand I didn't post anything yesterday as I always say prayers and remember my friends who died on 9/11. I knew a couple including a firefighter when I lived in New York in 1998 and still kept in touch with when I moved back home and watched them die as the towers fell. And if 9/11 gets me particularly angry toward Bush and will continue until Bush gives a damn about capturing as his quote was "dead or alive" Bin Laden.

No Results

After hearing testimony by General Petraeus saying he will start sending the troops involved in the surge home NEXT SUMMER (mind you the report was written by the White House) wonder how this lazy President will but off the troops coming home at that point. Face it ladies and gentlemen the troops aren't ever coming home from Iraq.

Failure

George Bush failed to this date and time. That's the bottom line as Osama Bin Laden released another video tape. Bush failed to avenge the attacks on 9/11 cause Bush decided to go invade Iraq instead who had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush failed. Bush in the so-called war on terror did nothing to lessen Al Qaeda. Bush failed. Bush who did nothing to stop the attacks on 9/11 despite being told in advance an attack was imminent Bush failed. Robert, Geoff you can try to spin this anyway you want but those are the facts to this date and time. And I'm not even saying those facts can't change but the bottom line is Bush failed.

Disclaimer

I forgot yesterday if I make predictions they are IN NO WAY to be interpreted as fact. If you go with my prediction you do so at your own risk and it is your responsibility. Please gamble responsibly.

Pro Football Predictions

Since the NFL is starting tomorrow and I'm still shocked about Appalachian State over Michigan I'd like to make a prediction now on the NFL season:

Super Bowl: New England over New Orleans

Biggest Surprise NFC: San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions

Biggest Surprise AFC: Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills

Biggest Letdowns NFC: Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles

Biggest Letdown AFC: San Diego Chargers (one reason- Norv Turner)

Biggest Letdown NFC: Dallas Cowboys

Record for my Oakland Raiders: 6-10 (I don't believe they haven't signed Russell yet but that's the way it's been for the Raiders)

Surprising

This might or might not surprise you but I wanted to talk about Mariel Garza's column in the Los Angeles Daily News about illegal immigrant Elvira Arellano. For those who are not aware she received (wrongly) a sympathetic reporting from the media who conveniently forgot she is a criminal and for she was deported after being arrested here in Los Angeles for being an illegal immigrant as well as illegally having a social security number. (Funny I thought that meant jail time). She was hiding in a Chicago Church (which shouldn't anyone who knowingly hid her be arrested for aiding and abetting a convicted criminal)

So in the column Garza actually has the nerve to compare this woman to Rosa Parks. I mean come on here Parks was a champion for civil rights Arellano hasn't done anything except trying to save her own ass. The media tried to create sympathy for her saying how she was being separated from her son etc. well doesn't anyone care that's the choice SHE made by knowingly breaking the law?

Quit treating her like a hero cause she is a criminal and is getting what she deserves!

Just wondering

Just wondering what Montana Rep. John Sinrud is thinking with a quote like "We've gone ... from fighting log fires to structure protection. Where is it that we have to protect those structures? Why not just let them burn?"

What does he have against Firefighters and people who's homes are destroyed with flames?

http://leftinthewest.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=895

Wonder what he would have said about the firefighters in the World Trade Center?

A Football Take

Just wanted to give a take on the upcoming College Football season since it's here. I'll talk Pro Football next week.

USC is so loaded it's scary. They are like a pro team. Better then a few pro teams (my Raiders included). I'll be surprised if they lose a game this year they are so damned talented. The National Championship is theirs to lose.

As far as my UCLA Bruins I see three loses in their schedule. Their defense will keep them in games but the offense is still in question.

Prediction for National Championship game USC vs. Virginia Tech as the sentimental team.

This years surprise team: Hawaii
