CNN's Cafferty Sees Conspiracy Helpful to Bush Behind Timing of Osama Tape
NewsBusters ^ | 1/20/06 | Brent Baker

Posted on 01/20/2006 6:29:14 AM PST by teddyballgame

Just before reading e-mailed responses to his “Cafferty Files” question of the 4pm EST hour on Thursday afternoon's The Situation Room on CNN, “How important is the new Osama bin Laden tape?", Jack Cafferty proposed a conspiracy existed in the timing, one meant to help Bush justify his NSA wiretapping: “The last time we got a tape from Osama bin Laden was right before the 2004 presidential election. Now here we are, four days away from hearings starting in Washington into the wiretapping of America's telephones without bothering to get a court order or a warrant, and up pops another tape from Osama bin Laden. Coincidence? Who knows.” One viewer endorsed Cafferty's conspiracy theory: “It seems suspicious. Every time the Republicans get into trouble, bin Laden sends a tape. Is it possible bin Laden's working out of the White House?” Earlier, Cafferty took a shot at President Bush's decision to invade Iraq: “The thought of this mutant hanging out in a cave somewhere and sending taped threats to the American people makes me angry. Why wasn't this guy taken care of before we went wandering off into Iraq?” (Transcripts follow.)

"I saw him once on CNN - he struck me as the grumpy next-door neighbor who complains about everything and is never happy. What a sad little life."

I thought the same thing too - he reminded me of Dana Carvey in his Grumpy Old Man skit from old SNL.

I have to say this - I find Cafferty to be very very funny. The man is so pathetic in his role as Uncle Charlie - that watching him leads me to beleive that he is there to be exactly what he appears to be - a stooge.

I actually stop and watch him when he is on. He's so bad - he's entertaining to watch.

The fact that CNN puts this knucklehead on the air - under scores their complete lack of sanity.

He's that bad.

So bad - I can't not watch.

yea, Al-Jazeera really likes Bush and will go out of their way for him. Bush called Bin Laden and asked him to make a quicky tape to help him out of a jam. Bush then used a F-16 and flew this tape from Pakistan to Al-Jazeera for broadcast. While they were having just a grand ole time they decided to pull that tape out of the kidnapped reporter.
The MSM is really making themselves look stupid with this ignorant rhetoric. They're so stupid that they can't even figure out how dumb they are.

Caff is a fool and history repeats itself.

This is the same thing that happened in the '80's with the Daniel Ortega and the Democrats in the House. Remember how the jerks on the left would give such a hard time to Reagan about how terrible the US was to intervene with the Communists in Nic. and then Com-andante Ortega would pull some STOOPID stunt that made Reagan's point? Remember the "Dear Com-andante" letter that Jim Wright and the other socialists in the House sent him, telling him to "cool it" and let the House defeat Reagan?

I know, I'm a dinosaur, I remember the '80's.

Cafferty is a drunken communist hit and run driver. Explains why he still has a job on CNN.

There's news hawks and there are news hacks.

Cafferty is the latter, a reporter who's bounced around from one job to another his whole career. Now he's hit the "big time" as an "expert" on CNN.

He cleverly hones his persona as a contrarian and curmudgeon, a tough guy right out of "The Front Page", and shirt-sleeved champion of the little guy against the criminals (aka the Bush administration).

He needs a fedora and Carole Lombard taking notes next to him to finish the caricature.

On second thought, why doesn't CNN move their world headquarters to Roswell, New Mexico.

Now here we are, four days away from hearings starting in Washington into the wiretapping of America's telephones without bothering to get a court order or a warrant, and up pops another tape from Osama bin Laden.

Cafferty's a dunce. The hearings do not begin until February 6, hardly "four days away."

Just wait until we capture Bin Laden! The Left is going to be apoplectic. Remember when we got Saddam Hussein? Some were suspicious of the timing, like we had him in a holding cell and were waiting for the best time to announce his capture.

These people are getting more unhinged everyday. Any terror threat, I mean any terror threat, is either Bush trying to scare the public or part of some grand conspiracy.

I have recently decided that the Democrat Party is one person. No matter where I see them, in a bar, in church, on TV, etc., they are all saying exactly the same thing. Engage them in a discussion and out rolls the same old talking points you hear from all of them. It is as if the all are hard wired to the same frequency and can see nor hear nothng else. Give them well known and documented facts to rebut them, they stare blankly for a moment then go on as if you had said nothing.

Weird!

"No" -- CNN's Wolf Blitzer, on whether he wanted any more of Jack Cafferty's thoughts ("The Situation Room").
