Bush Needs Some Heat (Joseph Farah Backtracks On Impeachment Call Alert)

Hahaha... "Oops - I want to put some heat on President Bush. So I backtracked." Joseph Farah flip-flopped? Oh well, no crime in having second thoughts. But when you call for impeachment, have the guts to follow through, will ya? Making the President see the light's fine. And so's protecting our borders. A purely symbolic act would shame Bush? Look how well impeachment constrained Clinton.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

Apparently, many people missed the point of my column calling for the impeachment of President Bush for his dereliction of duty on the border and his non-enforcement of immigration laws.

Ahhh. Nothing like some condescension in the latest Farah article. Sorry, Jo(k)e: it's not that we didn't "get" the gist of your "impeach Bush" article, it's that you realized no one but the moonbat Democrats agree with you--so you had to backtrack to save what remains of your reputation.

I can't believe there are people on FR who agree with this nutjob.

LOL

[Tobor]

I enjoy his website.

But, I've heard his radio show.

Joseph Farah is a shrill idiot.

[Echo Talon]

What he's really saying is "Oops! I screwed up, and alienated 98% of my audience... What the hell am I going to do now! :D

[scott7278]

"We are not talking about a successful impeachment."

A symbolic impeachment? Using the Constitution other than what it was intended for -- high crimes and misdemeanors and the subsequent removal from office -- is so...

liberal.

"Joseph Farah flip-flopped?

He did the same thing when Y2K failed to produce the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario.

A false prophet if there ever was one.

[zarf]

I don't get Farah.

Is he the king of hyperbole or just a loon?

Whatever. He does himself no favors with his over the top blather,

[California Patriot]

Farah is an idiot. He either doesn't know or doesn't care how politically damaging it would be for a "Republican" to introduce an impeachment resolution. Not to mention how unjustified it would be.

I think it's best to completely ignore his lunatic writings. Posting them, and then trying to analyze them gives him a bigger microphone, which serves no useful purpose.

[pollyannaish]

This tactic of putting pressure on someone is inexcusable.

It cheapens a tool that means something big and makes it just another petty, partisan, political tool. Just like those who have redefined "lying" as the same as being mistaken.

Impeachment means something. I am ashamed he would even consider this idea.

[DTogo]

Better than impeachment would be knowledge that if America is attacked by terrorists who sneak in from Mexico due to lax/no border security, American Patriots would hunt down, arrest, and try for High Treason every member of the Administration and each and every Congressman and Senator. ACLU Headquarters and K-street would be revisted by the ghosts of August, 1814.

Country first, politics much, much later.

[bayourod]

Not only is he a nut job, he is uninformed and incapable of critical thinking.

He says: ""The purpose would be to get Bush to change course on the most important national security issue facing the country. "Keeping terrorists and WMD out of the country is the most important national security issue, but border jumpers are not an important security problem.

All of the terrorists have entered the US at ports of entry using government issued documents. None have jumped the border.

Border jumpers can barely carry enough water to make the trek, much less drag a two ton nuclear warhead.

WMDs will either be manufactured in the U.S. or be smuggled in vehicles or shipping containers.

A terrorist organization would be totally incompetent to attempt an insertion of personnel and equipment between ports of entry. The risk of being caught is astronomically higher than entering at ports.

The author of this article is just another bumper-sticker-slogan mentality loser trying to get some attention.

[SoCalPol]

The guy is a dipstick who doesn't have a clue about history or politics. Farah is doing the liberal's work
for them.
Why does he support what Pat Buchanan wants when Pat's
running mate was a marxist.

[Prime Choice]

Is he the king of hyperbole or just a loon?

All of the above.

I have no use for either one of them. At one point, each of them were on the right track. Somewhere along they way, they veered into the ditch.

BTW...I love your tagline.

[coconutt2000]

And nobody addressed the point that a bill of impeachment would inflame violence in the Middle East, because our enemies would use it as proof that they're winning.

Where would they get that idea? Why our media will paint it like that.

[msnimje]

I thought Joe Farrah wasn't allowed on Free Republic?

[Fudd Fan]

Does Farah ever write a paragraph with more than one sentence? Just askin'

[Fudd Fan]

I used to enjoy WND but not nearly as much, increasingly.

As far as Farah goes, he endorsed GWB's re-election, the loon. Flip-flop? Only the shadow knows...
