Yesterday Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) hosted a community forum in Ithaca, New York, on The Future Of Social Security.

An LGF operative was present in the audience and happened to be recording as Rep. Hinchey launched into a barking moonbat conspiracy rant worthy of Democratic Underground, telling the audience he believed the fake CBS memos were planted by Karl Rove to discredit Dan Rather, and divert attention from President Bush’s “draft dodging.”

When our operative asked Hinchey if he had evidence for these charges, he first said, “Yes, I do,” but when asked a second time he admitted he did not.

Our operative pressed the issue, “Don’t you think it’s irresponsible to make charges like that?” Hinchey replied, “No, I don’t, I think it’s very important to make charges like that ... I think it’s very important to combat this kind of activity in every way that you can, and I’m willing, as most people are not, to step forward in situations like this and take risks.”

And the crowd burst into applause and cheering.

Suddenly, the song Lunatic Fringe by Pink Floyd comes the mind.

I just listened to the audio over on LGF, and was thinking about posting it here.

A rat caught lying. Imagine that.

Typical rat intellectual -- head firmly planted far up the posterior.

“Don’t you think it’s irresponsible to make charges like that?”

"No I don't. All that matters is that I hate George Bush"

And the crowd burst into applause and cheering.

The irony is, Hinchey is Exhibit A why that theory is false. It is clear from Hinchey that the hard left will believe what they want to believe, facts and logic be damned. And that is what got CBS into trouble in the first place with the bogus TANG memos.

"Wold" is a perfectly good, if obsolete, English word.

However, it does not mean "would".

[dirtboy]

You mean "Red Rider".

Yeah, the Floyd song that comes to mind for this bunch is "Comfortably Numb".

And there is audio...

Wasn't that Red Rider...

[Ragnorak]

I doubt it. I've actually been testing that theory. I've sent a number of equally credible documents incriminating Bush to CBS and they haven't printed anything. I was going to do more testing by my niece stole the box of crayons...

Loyal sailors keep bailing after the ship goes down.

[Ditto]

Moonbat is right. These guys were always out on the fringe. Now, they are way over the edge and falling fast.

[Danae]

Anyone got a shoehorn?

[writer33]

Yep. It was Red Ryder.

[Chef Dajuan]

So its very important to lie, huh? Some "issues" are just "so important" you can do anything..I see.....

Well, that says all anyone needs to know about the media and their comrades the liberals.
