had = hard - must proof read before pressing post :0)

Colmes is not in the same league as Hannity and it shows all the time.

[beyond the sea]

Yes it did indeed. But...... they went to commercial break then came back and left brain-dead America with the last sh*tty, lying, misleading segment about ABUSE BY THE EXECUTIVE!

I for one...... hate the old media............. and wish they'd all get a real bad skin disease........... or worse.

;-)

I have done it again posted without ready

under = understand = bad snugs :o(

But is that not the purpose of the show and how it is pitched I consider that is deliberate by FNC

[Bahbah]

He had two guests on to discuss the NYTimes and the USSC decision; both guests agreed that this is a gift to Bush.

LOL. Hence we had DiFi issuing a strong warning to Republicans not to "politicize" this. Remember how they warned the President not to so much as mention 9/11 in the 2004 campaign. They even trotted out that awful Kristin Breitweiser in support of that proposition. How dumb do they think the Republicans are. LOL.

[rodguy911]

Great take snugs. As if hard breaks are something new they never knew about, that's the only time Colmes gets any recognition as well, he seems to revel in cutting someone off for a break, its his only claim to fame.

[Morgan in Denver]

And, here we thought the Dan Rather Bush military lie was a one time event.

Thank you, MSM!!!

Once again you have been a great help.

[Peach]

I agree that this will end up being a gift in disguise to the administration and Republicans in November. That's one reason that although I was disappointed with the SCOTUS ruling, I wasn't terribly upset.

We're going to watch the leftists either put their money where there mouths are and force them to defend jihadists, or they will have to agree with the Republicans, which will tick off the leftist base. LOL

[Phsstpok]

...Methods and specifics were released. Brit Hume, earlier here, made this same point. Knowing we are looking for ties to finances is vastly different from telling them who is doing what specifically...

Hugh Hewitt is using the analogy that it's one thing if everyone knows that police use radar speed traps and quite another for someone to tell where they're set up (that is actually a crime in most states). 

[Laverne]

Lets see what is next? Will DiFi, Turbin Durbin, Schmuckie, and Hillie blame the USSC decision on Karl Rove? or will that kind of conspiratorial discussion be left to DU and the Daily KOS? LOL LOL LOL

[Morgan in Denver]

I think I read that before and forgot it. Thanks!

[rodguy911]

Yeah probably, I don't expect any changes unless their number start dropping. Truth is Sean's radio show is so powerful he could carry the entire H&C t.v show just with residuals from radio whether it is good or not.

[Darth Republican]

On the other hand, talk radio shows have three hours, no wonder they are so popular.

I agree exactly.

Hannity is so much better on his radio show than the FNC show, where at least I'm able to hear an opposing viewpoint, as well as the opinions of us listeners, without having to squeeze in the comments of Alan, two other guests, a commercial for some pharmaceutical as well as a preview of what Greta will ask Mark Furman and Dr. Michael Baden about Natalie Holloway falling off that cruise ship docked at Duke University.

But alas, that's the constraints of television.

[Phsstpok]

Juan actually talked about it being wrong that the terrorists weren't getting their rights, such as access to the courts, lawyers and bail!

[Fishtalk]

Well I've read yours and other responses. Frankly, what with all the so-called roundtable pundits this past week, I've learned more on this thread than from their blather.

As I understand it, the SWIFT program was unknown and how it was applied? This is info the NY Times revealed that essentially cut down our methodology?

I like your explanation Peach, that the terrorists were blind-sided by our method of allowing them to transfer the money then catching their bad-ass selves.

I still can't get beyond those Hamas guys trying to carry all that cash. They weren't carrying cash for any other reason than to get money back to Palestine. And they carried cash because they knew bank transfers were being monitored.

Could it be that the terrorists didn't know that such as withdrawals from accounts were also being tracked? Beyond simple transfer from Saudi accounts to Hamas accounts I mean. Perhaps once these Hamas guys got caught they knew they were foiled. Perhaps the NY Times aided future terrorists by blabbing all over the place about this SWIFT program...perhaps as warning to all in the Mideast that this methodology is not safe?

Hey, I firmly believe the NY Times is in the pocket of Saudi Arabia and I also believe that plenty of those writers are directly paid by terrorist enablers. Which does not mean that I completely understand this SWIFT thing and how it all works.

But I'm reading and I'm thinking. There seems to be stuff we don't know, or me at least. Whatever the case, the NY Slimes should have kept their mouth shut. There was absolutely nothing to be gained by it. It was simple treason pure and unfettered.

[rodguy911]

Truth is it's a bit of an art managing time on any show. Only a few do it well. Rush has it down to a science, he knows when to kill a break, when to put one in early and just how to play the clock, it's really hard to do and few do it well.

[rockrr]

Your excellent post stopped me dead in my tracks.

The links offered up more links and a wealth of very disturbing information about the "strange goodfellows bedfellows" that Priest is using for her sources.

Bennett was absolutely spot on when he said "This woman doesn't deserve a Pulitzer Prize, she deserves a prison cell" (paraphrased).

It gives me great joy to see the blowback toward the NYT and their yellow urnalism. By all means, keep it up!

[Morgan in Denver]

ROFLOL.... I know it's been said over and over but Juan Williams prsents a whole new image to being liberal. Juan will parrot the current Democrat Talking Points to see if something will work. Heck, even Bill Kristol nailed Juan on something today.
