Readers of my Today Show threads know me [hopefully] to be a fairly level-headed guy with a sense of humor. But this incident with Hinchey has sent me off the deep end, no doubt because he is, sickeningly, my congressman and I have knocked heads with him for years. I am truly distraught.
It sounds like Colmes was forced to swing wildly in every direction in trying to come to this lunatics defense by any means he could think of.
Genes or environment? Or a bit of both...
PS: That's another good point. These are lefties who are supposed to know better and be more credible.
They reek of desperation, and it is a good clue as to how they've been operating for years and years.
The difference is, they used to get by with it because there were no alternatives.
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.
Carl Rove, sue his ugly arse on defimation of character! Only way to shut up stupid liars, make them PAY>
Pharmaceuticals in the water supply, perhaps? ;-)
Such is the state of the left-wing blogsphere and the hard-left elected officials who serve as sanctifying rectums for what is sent downstream.
Burkett was the central character in this. Now no mention of him in the retorts to Hinchey. This is utterly infuriating.
How can they loose sight of Burkett's involvement, and Mape's admission that she got the faxed memo from him??? THAT is the contradiction to Hinchey's asinine theory!
Hinchey may not want to go down this road.
(See article below line)
BECAUSE- If Burkett got those memos from a political big wig....it would be Howard Dean or John Kerry, via David Van Os.
David Van Os was Burkett's atty. several years back. He was also a Democrat Party County Chair down in south Texas. He was also running as a democrat for the Texas Supreme Court in 2004.
Van Os also worked with the campaigns for both Dean and Kerry.
When Burkett got busted...Van Os showed up, after years of not working for the guy, and set up damage control as Burkett's spokesfool.
Why would Van Os risk being connected to that loon...when at the time of Memogate...VAN OS WAS RUNNING FOR TEXAS STATE SUPREME COURT???
IT MAY BE BECAUSE Van Os realized he needed to cover his own a--!
Keep in mind that the Prowler folks at American Spectator
stated they had a source from the DNC that said the documents were in the hands of the DNC...and the higher ups were trying to figure out what to do with them...
I know what you mean, and it seems like every day there is another idiot dem making an idiot statement or conspiracy theory---
I think it was Chrissy Matthews that FIRST came up with the theory that Bush and Doug Wead were in cahoots in making those tapes in order to get peoples attention off of Jeff Gannon--
I didn't think anyone was paying THAT much attention to the Jeff Gannon thing until I saw a thread yesterday that showed a letter written by a "bunch" of congresscritters to Bush saying that he needed to come clean about Jeff Gannon, but if he doesn't, they will request a formal congessional inquiry into the "situation".
Like I said, I am afraid that Alan Colmes better eat his wheaties cause I think he will be doing a lot of flailing around to explain the dems side of these debates! hehe
We been hearing about the "dirty deed" that Rove pulled, for days now. So, this little jerk comes on (invited probably, to help show how demented the dems are...) -- and speaks to the camera and all his little friends sitting in the pubs around his district, like; See, look at me... I'm taking the nasty repubs on....
Wow.
Exactly. But what is so infuriating about it, particularly given that I have the misfortune of being his constituent, is that he will get all sorts of positive feedback and support back in the district and pay absolutely no political price.
I know, and told you how green I was. Did you take a photo with Rove?
Such is the state of the left-wing blogsphere and the hard-left elected officials who serve as sanctifying rectums for what is sent downstream.
In his district. A price will be paid, however, by the Democrat Party as a whole.
I hate to tell you this Fox *ping* person, but I DID sneak a peek at Chrissy Matthews show this evening and he had on Charlie Rangel and some guy from a group that is like AARP except FOR the Bush SS plan---
Anyway, Chrissy had Rangel and he debating this for two segments---I kept screaming at the TV for Chrissy to ask Charlie about his statement yesterday or today about how we shouldn't call Islamic terrorists, Islamic terrorists because it is racist---
Well, what do you know, Chrissy must not have heard about that statement by Charlie, because darn if he didn't even ask him about it!!!! I wonder why?
Maybe because it is as insane of statement as Hincheys is re: the Rather memos!
You're probably right. People in swing districts across America will see this and be turned off. I'll take consolation from that, and am grateful to you for making the point because I am truly bent out of shape tonight.
bump!!
