Harry's not the coach, he's not even the water-boy, he's just the little weasel in the corner of the stands who heckles the players...... he can't DO anything in life, but he can mock those who really matter.

I hadn't heard the congresscritters were going over as a delegation.

They can't even tend to business here at home...!!

Shep Smith is on FOX defending Hezbollah, critizing the guy for calling them animals, and saying all the good things Hez is doing.

I'm ashamed for FOX News.

Galloway. I spit on him.

We got to listen to some of Sean Hannity's concert for Freedom (that's not quite the right name) in the care on the way home -- once we got back into town and got better reception.

Wow - I don't typically love Sean but he's had great guests and highly patriotic with some good historical information about the libs and how they've been against a strong national defense and military since time immemorial.

Someone needs to tell that idiot to STFU! Fox needs to send him over to Lebanon and he can go hang out with the Hesbollah buddies he appears to ADMIRE so much! Unreal! I could NOT believe what I was hearing.

[rhombus]

Did you hear Shep whining about an "exit strategy". Hahaha - this guy is kicking Shep all over the place.

[ezsmoke]

I agree, I had to mute the TV after hearing that BS.

[Conservababe]

...IED's ready..and they are dug in and waiting.

When you dig in and wait, you'd better hope the enemy comes from the direction you anticipated.

Bolton was on Dayside on Fox, right after his appearance at the UN this morning, and he was wonderful on Dayside.

Also, the audience applauded him a LOT..and BOOED when they showed Biden's remarks that Bolton should STILL not be confirmed as the Ambassador next week when he confirmation hearing is being held.

They were NOT happy about that, and they had quite a few that got to stand up and praise his work. I was really good to see.

[prairiebreeze]

Hizbullah has planned this for years- and are VERY WELL ARMED...to say nothing of the mines everywhere...IED's ready..and they are dug in and waiting.

Prayers being said for Israel.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Israel knows what they've been up to, I am sure...

[VirginiaMom]

Did I actually hear Shep say that Hesbollah sent the Israeli Special Forces running back across the border with their tails between their legs.....or was I misunderstanding what I "thought" I heard?

[SE Mom]

BUT! The man he was interviewing SMACKED him down but good. Brilliant. Told him if the Lebanese army doesn't get off it's ass and protect the border and the country- Israel will have to go in there and do it for them...he was AWESOME.

I've never seen him before- he's a "security consultant" I think...

[Txsleuth]

LOL...you are right..I better checkkkkkkkkkkkk..yep, the K stuck.

[Chuck54]

Excellent idea. Most excellent idea.

[Lil Flower]

I saw that, too. Disgusting.

[Miztiki]

What exactly did Shep Smith just say? Can anyone with Tivo or something go back and do a little transcript for us?

[SE Mom]

Yes. Shep Smith said that Hizbullah has sent the Israeli special forces scrambling back to Israel with their "tail between their legs".......

SOMEONE needs to tell him to STFU.

[Enchante]

"Shep Smith is yelling because he doesn't like the term "animals" being applied to hezbollah"

Dear Shep, you truly are an imbecile. All of the so-called "humanitarian" things done by the Hezbo-Nazis are irrelevant to this discussion. Adolf Hitler was quite a good socialist ("National Socialist" that is) in providing goodies to his favored people - it's what he did to all those he wished to exterminate that mattered most, not whether he provided "food and shelter and education" to Germans he didn't plan to kill. btw, all of the "education" provided by the Hezbo-Nazis propogates Jew-hatred and genocidal dogma. SO put a cork in it, Shep, you have been led far astray by your puny mind and by left-liberal propaganda on behalf of the Hezbo-Nazis.

p.s. "animals" is too general a term for such terrorists...... let's just call them RATS.

Last night, Anderson Cooper showed a clip of some man on the steet interviews that he did in Damascus,Syria in May...

When he asked people what they thought of America, they said that America is the worst country to live in...and that Assad is the best President ...even though they don't "elect" him..

After it was over, he said that when the cameras were OFF and the Syrian guards walked away...they were just the opposite...saying they wished they could live like Americans...and if they said anything negative about Assad, the "guard" would come get them and take them away.

I wonder if the people that claim to "like" Hezbollah in Lebanon are under that kind of scrutiny..and are lying as well?
