Maurice Hinchey, the far-left Demcorat who at a public forum in Ithaca over the weekend accused Karl Rove of planting the forged Rathergate documents, will be on Hannity and Colmes during this hour.
I'm sorry to say that Hinchey is my congressman. This is the same guy who at the beginning of the Iraq war accused our military of committing 'massacres' in Iraq.
I can confidently predict that Hinchey will not back down. He is a strutting little arrogant fellow. Keep your eyes peeled to see if the cameras show his feet - he likes to affect cowboy boots - this Brooklyn-born little tough guy.
Barking moonbat Dem ping to the Today Show ping list.
Bush is *so* stupid that he tricked Dan Rather into using forged documents against him.
For those unfamiliar with this case, here's the transcript from Brit Hume's Grapevine a couple days ago:
Hinchey's Hunch
New York Democratic Congressman Maurice Hinchey (search) is accusing the White House, and specifically adviser Karl Rove (search), of "setting up" CBS to air the now-discredited report on President Bush's National Guard service. At a weekend forum in Ithaca, New York taped by a member of the audience Hinchey said, "Why did [the White House] do it? They knew that Bush was a draft dodger. ... They knew that he had no defense for that period in his life. ... So] they produced papers ... and they distributed those out to elements of the media. ... [CBS] finally bought into it."
Hinchey, however, said he has no evidence to back up his claim.
Segment coming up next.
Ping
Exactly. Hinchey & Co. have to be deeply deranged that Rove somehow would think it would be a good idea to put out documents placing W in a bad light.
Is this the inspiration for Maurice Levin? ( Mark Levin's Liberal evil twin. )
Not to say I told you so, but Hinchey just said: "I don't anyone an apology."
He says he's proof that Rove is guilty because he has a history
Do the Dems REALLY want to play this game??
HELLO!
This is outrageous! "Believe me because I make up good stuff!"
Yeah, Mr. Hinchey. If you look at history, you'll see incontrovertible proof that John Kerry is a traitor.
This guy is a loon.
Karl Rove is *so* smart that he picked a Chimp to put all his effort behind.
It works either way you slice it.
Y'see.
"circumstantial proof"? WTF?
This guy is nucking futs...
There are a LOT of Clowns that do that. ;^)
This guy is a nut!
Well said! :)
I have a history of drinking copious amounts of cab sav,but that doesnt mean I'm drinking it tonight...
Hinchey said there's circumstantial evidence based on Rove's alleged history of dirty tricks.
Colmes, riding to Hinchey's aid, just said: "Sxott Peterson was oonvicted in California on the basis of circumstantial evidence."
THAT'S RIGHT, ALAN COLMES JUST ANALOGIZED KARL ROVE TO A MAN WHO MURDERED HIS WIFE AND CHILD.
Since when do democrats need evidence to back up anything they say?
This guy's a real scumbag!
Democrats should be ashamed to be in the same party as cretins like this.
This man doesn't even get "clown" status. I'll bet the DUmmies just looooove him.
Rove made me say it...
The arrogance of this guy is nauseating. He could barely keep a straight face, reveling in his face time on national TV. He could care less about making false and unsubstantiated charges. He feels that as an incumbent, with his base of support in Ithaca, he's politically invulnerable.
Er...obviously he needs to get psychiatric help a lot worse. LOL, I'm not even watching the show but this thread is entertaining.
Evidence that somebody did something at some OTHER time in the past is NOT evidence that someone did the same thing on a particular occasion. There are a few exceptions - habitual action and similar transaction, but they don't apply here.
Wish these folks who don't understand the law would quit pontificating on it. Although I guess they figure if they sound authoritative enough most people won't know the difference.
Finally someone in Congress more embarrassing than Baghdad Jim McDermott and Patty Osama Mama Murray. Thanks NY
See Maurice Hinchey, what a tool...New York has crowned a brand new fool
Even the kids call him a loon...watch Maurice bark at the moon
He claims Rove set up Rathergate...this guy's a lowlife reprobate
Even the kids call him a loon...watch Maurice bark at the moon
Is it a spoof...he is aloof...Maurice provides zero proof
Inventing stories from thin air...Maurice keeps his head you know where
Even the kids call him a loon...watch Maurice bark at the moon, moon, moon
Watch Maurice bark at the moon, moon, moon
Watch Maurice bark at the moon
And the Loons will think it was great that it's getting media attention
This nitwit Congressman sounded like a complete Fool
Dang, that Rove sure gets around! Is he responsible for Michael Jackson getting caught too???
Good point. The dems are whistling passed the graveyard with this strategy. They really DO have quite a "history".
LOL .. this fool thinks this is helping the Dem Party
How did Olbermann miss this guy?
Betcha he'll be on there soon
I'm sure the DUmmies have a 3,000 post thread going now on how this will finally unseat W and put their "man" in the White House! LOL
Agreed. He didn't even attempt to make a serious argument. At least the Charlie Rangels et. al of the world make an effort to put some arguably reasonable face on their positions. Hinchey could care less. He was just wallowing in his 2 minutes of fame, utterly unconcerned about making a rational case, knowing his fanatical supporters in Ithaca and elsewhere will lap up his buffoonery, the more outlandish the better. Sickening and infuriating.
he owes the Comedy Channel an apology for using his material on competing networks.....
WHAT a performance by (lunatic) Rep. Hinchey! Catch the replay at 2am ET tonight.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
This guy may be nucking futs but he is making our laws. Very, very scary!
I thought LSD left the body in like 30 minutes but in this guys case, the cascade keeps going.......must be slow metabolism........
He, along with Rangel and Weiner are known for wild accusations and should all be booted out of office. What they all have in common is a friend in Hillary who they campaigned for in 2000!
LOL! ;-D
Hopefully you have cable and can watch the idiot!
yup.....Olbereyebrows usually always gets the biggest moonbats to stick on his pathetic show....I'm sure he is kicking himself more than usual
If Karl Rove is behind this as Hinchey purports, then why the *Hadees* did Burkett become involved? Wasn't Burkett identified as Mary Mapes' contact on this? Wasn't it proven that he Faxed the supposedly authentic documents from a Kinko's near his house to her? Didn't he openly state that he has had these for a long time and that he got them from someone who he will not reveal? Did Rove give them to Burkett? I don't think so!
Man oh man, I can't believe Hinchey - I think, based on his behavior, that we can correctly assume (as he has done) on the circumstantial evidence: Hinchey has Alzheimer's.
