I'm not in favor of a policy of torture.
Neither am I. I say we just give them a long dirt nap.
All the while this was happening, the President and his crew were doing what they usually do when the press pounds them: nothing.
What I'm taking from Bill and Morris, whom he had on his TV show today, is that regardless of the baseless accusations it shows weakness if you don't respond.
Sorry, I think this is a total crock of crap. If you spend all of your time addressing the ridiculous lies of those that hate you it's NOT going "on the offensive" but is exactly being "on the defensive".
I'd rather they be totally ignored or, as Bush did, call them "absurd" and move on. Then let Cheney and Rummy deride them further.
Yup. Horse whip or buggy whip? Or BOTH!?
Who got "kicked into submission"?
BTW, do you know what Bill Clinton did to his perceived enemies foreign and domestic?
That sounds like a great idea.
Remember Waco? They didn't have the luxury of being tasered.
Condi - Giuliani 2008
An unbeatable ticket IMHO.

Heard nothing. Got two more MyDooms from O'Reilly in the next two days. Called Fox, left message. Have heard NOTHING.
In short, their e-mail people are asleep at the switch, even when the matter is obviously critical.

I am one of those guys who have dissed O'Reilly many times. But only because I disagreed with him on points where he went mushy middle on us. Seeming to want to be loved and respected by the liberals.
In this case, he is spot on. And I for one, have no problem admitting it.
Sometimes you have to realize the messengers are delivering a message for their own purposes. And as I just posted, I think the message they are peddaling is CRAP!
It's a "oooh, they are calling you bad names...what are you going to do about it" and if you don't "do anything about it" you must be doing something wrong.
Who friggin' cares what Amnesty, the left wing, Al-Jazerra, the NY Times, blah, blah, blah have to say about anything? Only the far left and they wouldn't believe any "offensive" on the issue if Bush went on it or not.
This is childish. These sex fiends say "torture is selling" but ignore WHO THE HELL IS BUYING! Forget the buyers. They'll buy anything and it doesn't matter.
No, this is just more fodder for both of them to keep their articles selling using the template of "Only if you listen to us Hillary will lose".
And don't lecture me on Morris. I've known this guy ever since he took over Bill's campaign in 1980 after he lost his first re-election campain for the governor of Arkansas.
Ruby Ridge, Elian, etc.
Thanks... I thought it was more than "major" too.
DougFromUpland is gonna need a good outlet for his great reporting, and a FR-527 would be a good start IMO.
---Who got "kicked into submission"?---
What kind of question is that?
I'm no great fan of Dick Morris, but I have respected his reaction to being caught in his own toe-sucking incident way back. I thought it was pretty decent of him to say "hey, you got me! I'm not gonna do that again." And apparently he hasn't. I don't always agree with his assessments, but when it comes to Hitlery, he sure knows his stuff and he's been directly burned himself by her.
The article is written by O'Reilly. Bashers, just like the RATS, will use ANY excuse to practice their trade.
Excellent analogy, young Duke.
Don't lecture me on knowing Morris or the campaign for governor of Arkansas. I LIVED IT!
I tried to tell people about the Clintons and WAS IGNORED! If people don't believe they will do ANYTHING to elect HILLARY CLINTON they are DREAMING! She has lived her entire life for one goal...the pack she made with Bill Clinton, she helps him get elected and he helps her get elected. So far, it's all been run brilliantly. Keep fighting against the people who are trying to STOP HER and you can say HELLO, PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON.
Good, honest disagreements are one thing, and often strengthen our cause. The mindless lynch mob that often follows a thread by O'Reilly or Hannity is inexcusable.
You said it was better than getting kicked into submission. Who got kicked into submission? How hard is that question?
