TRANSCRIPT FROM TUCKER CARLSON SHOW:
Adding to the sexism, elitism, faith, and threat cards in the White House arsenal, comes the "far right" card.
Speaking in support of Harriet Miers on Tucker Carlson's MSNBC show last night was Brad Blakeman, described by Carlson as "a former deputy assistant to President Bush [who] shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years."
I'm posting the entire transcript of the Blakeman interview below. Go to the parts in bold to see the "far right" business. CARLSON: ...today one of the many questions regarding Harriet Miers has been answered, in part, anyway, in a questionnaire Miers filled out while running for the Dallas city council in 1989. She clearly indicated, or seemed to, that she's opposed to abortion, unless the mother's life was in danger.
Some conservatives are not satisfied with that, but one who appears to be, joins us now from Washington. He is Brad Blakeman. He's a former deputy assistant to President Bush. He shared an office with Harriet Miers for three years.
Mr. Blakeman, thanks for coming on. [SNIP]
BLAKEMAN: No. I think, Tucker, the president could have put forth Mother Teresa, and there were some on the far right that said, "Well, you know, she's not really religious enough for me."
CARLSON: That's totally not true. You know that that's not true.
BLAKEMAN: No, it is true. The fact of the matter is, the far right...
CARLSON: Hold on. Wait. Hold on. Slow down.
BLAKEMAN: The far right thinks that...
well it's good to see the miers foot soldiers have adopted nearly all the tactics of the left as they bash conservatives.
Way to go!
Incomplete, yes.
Is it inaccurate?
Or are you just looking to be offended, and spread offense?
"well it's good to see the miers foot soldiers have adopted nearly all the tactics of the left as they bash conservatives."
Absolutely. Despicable.
Ping
Far right? Far Out!
Ive taken a wait and see attitude about Miers but Ive noticed that "far right" is now spit out with the same hatred as is normal for the DU.

So the 'Bots are now trying to use Mother Theresa to put lipstick on this pig? Nice. Real Nice.
"Incomplete, yes.
Is it inaccurate?
Or are you just looking to be offended, and spread offense?"
My answer is yes, no, maybe
I bet the WH picked that charge up from reading FR. Had to water it down from "Buchannanite," that would have been so far off base that it would be obviously wrong. But the other charges, now they are credible.
Signed,
Far right, elitist, sexist, cynical religious bigot.
Right Arm!
"Ive taken a wait and see attitude about Miers but Ive noticed that "far right" is now spit out with the same hatred as is normal for the DU."
Well, I'm from the far right and I'm proud of it. In fact, I'm a card-carrying member of the far right group that participated in the right wing conspiracy that Hillary told you about. Maybe I'm so far right I'm just blinded by Miers' outstanding credentials for the SCOTUS job. After all, how many people get to schmooze with the President like she does?
"So the 'Bots are now trying to use Mother Theresa to put lipstick on this pig? Nice. Real Nice"
I must admit I got a real LOL out of that line. And the smile still lingers.
WHAAAA! Why did you not pick the one WE want.
I'm sorry the Anti-Miers find the concept of a Constitutional Republic so hard to deal with. This is BUSH'S pick and NOT yours! If YOU want to select judges, YOU run for PRESIDENT!!
You KNEE JERK Bush HATERS should just PACK it UP and go BACK to DU!!
"I bet the WH picked that charge up from reading FR."
You give them too much credit in this affair.
Stick a fork in Bush
Funny how these individuals don't even know that in today's political system, the FOUNDING FATHERS would be on the "far right"!
Far Right? No, just the extremists, clearly not the mainstream. ;-)
