I don't like Savage, and it's too bad about Buchanan, he had something for a while. But Tancredo is getting interesting.

"Many of these Tancredo followers are the same folks who love Buchanan and Savage. hmmmm."


Ahh, once again NYC Republican is on these threads denouncing savage. As I remember our earlier conflicts, 70-80% of your posts this summer seem to be continual rails against savage. Why would you be so obsessed with a man you claim is such a loser and no one listens to, yet you spend so much time denouncing him and mischaracterizing his arguments.

Why am I not surprised that you also hate Tancredo and often try to associate him with Pat Buchanan just like the other losers Dane and Bayourod?

As far as your rant against tancredo and "selling" delay down the river" that is another lie. You just believed the media spin, which selectively edited his statements:

Tancredo: DeLay Charges 'Trumped Up'
www.newsmax.com ^ | April 17, 2005

Posted on 04/17/2005 3:27:21 PM PDT by ArmyBratproud

Rep. Tom Tancredo's advice that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay should consider stepping aside while ethics charges against him are resolved received wall-to-wall coverage on the Sunday morning news shows - which all but ignored Tancredo's main point: that the DeLay allegations "lack merit" and were "trumped up."

In a statement posted to his official web site Friday, the Colorado Republican emphasized the that he believed that the DeLay scandal was a bogus partisan witchunt: "I believe that all of the charges against Tom DeLay I have seen to date lack merit. I believe they are being leveled in the hopes of brining him down, and with him the Republican Majority," he began.

Only then did Tancredo suggest that it "may be a productive move" for DeLay to take a "temporary" leave of absence, saying:

"However if the Majority Leader were to temporarily step aside so that these trumped up charges can be dealt with in a less hostile environment, as they have proven to be an unnecessary distraction, it may be a productive move.”

But that didn't stop the media from misreporting Tancredo's comments, suggesting that the Colorado Republican wanted DeLay to permanently resign.

Of twenty-nine mainstream press reports on Tancredo's statement generated by a Lexis Nexis search, fourteen omitted his "temporarily" qualifier.

None of the headlines so much as hinted that Tancredo's statement was anything but a call for DeLay's permanent resignation.
