Harkin defends Venezuelan President's U-N speech against Bush
by Darwin Danielson
Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, a democrat, today defended Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's United Nations speech in which Chavez called President George Bush the devil. Harkin said the comments were "incendiary", then went on to say, "Let me put it this way, I can understand the frustration, ah, and the anger of certain people around the world because of George Bush's policies." Harkin continued what has been frequent criticism of the president's foreign policy.
Harkin says Bush came to office saying he wanted a new humility in foreign policy in reaching out to other countries, but Harkin says Bush's actual policy has been heavy handed. Harkin says the anger against Bush is generated from the Iraq war, which Harkin says was "unnecessary."
Harkin says, "We tend to forget that a few days after 9-1-1 thousands, thousands of Iranians marched in a candlelight procession in Teheran in support of the United States. Every Muslim country was basically on our side. Just think, in five years, President Bush has squandered all that." Harkin says the U.S. has put billions of dollars into the Iraq war, when it could be helping poor countries with things like clean water, medical aid and education.
I love it --- having fun listening.
"Al Franken is on the "Tucker" program right now, saying it was wrong for Chavez to do what he did.
Harkin is a punk."
Correction: Harkin AND Al Franken are both PUNKS. As such, both need to have their asses kicked!
I can't name a decent Democrat Senator except Joe Lieberman. And to Senator Harkin and the rest of you sorry SOB's: I don't give a damn what the rest of the world thinks of us.
In fact Neil Cavuto is taking a lib to the mat now
Once again ole Dung Heap shows his amazing political acumen and ability to say the correct thing. /rolleyes
What a stinking POS.
Hey al-Harkin, you seem to have forgotten the 10's of thousands throughout the Muslim world that CELEBRATED the attack on 9-11. In almost EVERY Muslim country, there were celebrations, parties, guns firing in the air, gifts given to children, all celebrating the attack. This was BEFORE Bush's policies ever went into affect.
al-Harkin: You are not worthy of being a congressman if you memory capacity, and your staff's memory capacity, is that bad and skewed.
And now you are defending Puto Chavez??
Well, at least you will NEVER be President, although the idiots in you state might still want someone leading them that obvviously is showing signs of dementia.
The councilman is a black panther ---lol
Harkin--you've been a traitorous b*tch for years--we're AT WAR, you panty wearing creep.
NY Councelman, Barron, also called Chavez a hero saying Chavez is taking care of the poor by giving out petro.
Typical libs will do and say anything for handouts!
Harkin is a bigger POS than I thought he was.
I am somewhat starting to like Cavuto. But I do think Brit's show is the best.
Disgusting... pile of used toilet paper.. how does Harkin sleep at nite.. Please leave, go to Venezuela and take Sheehan, Belafonte and the rest of the traitors with you.
Ben Nelson from Nebraska isn't so bad.
I'll give credit where credit is due.
Except of course for the ones where they were shown dancing in the streets chanting "Alluha Akbar" and "Death to America".
They're just taking the advice of the great Yogi Berra who once said:
Pelosi and Rangel are doing the PR thing because they know that commments by Chavez and the Iranian mad-man are causing a backlash and they see their chances of taking control of Congress slipping away.
Wasn't it Charlie Rangel who said that if the Dems did not take control of The House this year he would resign?
And aren't they associated with the Nation of Islam crowd??
Oh yes .. let these libs hug and defend Chavez
