Leahy Agrees With Schultz: Cheney Wants Terrorist Attack On USA
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/21/2009 5:45:37 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It’s one thing for the host of a new MSNBC show, trolling for ratings in Olbermann-land, to make outrageous accusations against a former Vice-President. It’s altogether a different matter for a sitting United States Senator to second the slander.

Yet that’s just what happened on this evening’s Ed Show. Host Schultz accused Dick Cheney of wanting America to be “hit again” by terrorists. A few minutes later, Sen. Pat Leahy of Vermont agreed with him.

ED SCHULTZ: I think that Dick Cheney wants this country to get hit again for political gain. I believe that he thinks in his mind if we can think, make them think, the enemy, that we’re weak because Obama can’t stand up for us, we’re going to get hit, and then of course we can paint the picture that the Democrats just can’t get the job done on national security. I think Cheney is that mean.

When two leftist assholes get together, you are going to get a crapfest.

Bring lots of toilet paper to MSNBC (aka More Shit, Nothing But Crap) TV.

You know if O had to declare Marshall law he could repeal the Constitution and declare himself ruler for life.

Martial law?

This just demonstrates that the Obama administration KNOWS the risk and danger OBAMA has already caused to our security by releasing the memos that he did!

Ok for Obama to release sensitive info, but not for anyone else?

What hypocracy!

What freaking morons.

Cheney wouldn’t say a thing if that were the case.

You speak up about what you think is wrong to try to get it changed... If he wanted us to get hit again he’d simply lay low while Obama tears down the barriers to another attack and then when it happens point out the obvious.

Being a leftest is a mental disorder...

I haven’t decided if they’re just undeniably complete idiots or if they’re all certifiably insane. Even if they’re trying to set up Cheney to take blame if something occurs, you’d think there would be a point where *the spoiled kids* would grow up and act like adults. It’s petrifying to think that this sort of people are actually in the driver’s seat of our wonderful country. It scares me to death.

Focusng on Cheney is clearfly a tactic to divert attention from the fact that Obama is seeting the U.S. up for big terrorist attacks on U.S. soil so that he can invoke exectutive orders that give him complete control of the U.S. population.

Leahy is one of the most pompous A’holes to ever be elected to the Congress of the United States. Mind you, he has many competitors but he is one horrible person. I would love to have a face to face with him followed by giving him a knock down, drag out, ass-whooping that would send him back to the cows crying for his momma! He truly disgusts me.

Leahy has always been about five bottles short of a six-pack, so this doesn’t surprise me much.

Cheney is trying to explain why the release of the CIA documents will damage our efforts. And yet, the lefties still claim he wants another terrorist strike.

What do they think we were trying to find out by interrogating these terrorists, Wall Street insider information?

The idea is to get the info on new attacks prior to the attacks taking place. Not only does the left want to toss that intel, but it’s willing to let the terrorists go in the United States.

And then they claim Cheney is the problem.

Beats most anything I’ve ever seen for ignorance.

ED SCHULTZ: I think that Dick Cheney wants this country to get hit again for political gain.

Hey, Shultzie, Obama and the Democrats have hit this country with a hitherto-unimaginable load of government debt and is about to destroy business with Cap and Trade, the EPA regulating CO2 as a pollutant, and newer, higher taxes on top of the ending of the Bush tax cuts. And all this is being done by Barry for what he believes will be his political gain. As always, you guys are looking at the wrong guy; at the hypothetical instead of the actual malefactor. Pull your heads out of your butts and come back to reality. Not that you'd be able to recognize it when you saw it.

Exactly, could this be the reason that ex military and all right wingers are being defined as possible terrorists?

Ya know, if you don’t watch the shows, you will save yourself a heart attack and with no ratings they will be off the air so you save the country by not watching.

"I think Dick Cheney is really that mean."

'I know that Ed Schultz is that stupid.'


Or limp-wristed and castrated. They're really the same thing. Ed Schultz and the crustacean from Vermont would both qualify.

I hear you, but it’s what I do. I get by with a little help from Prilosec.

When I first heard that Obama released sensitive information (that could compromise field agents?!?!?!), my first thought was this was Philip F’ing Agee all over again. Except this was out in the open by the CinC!

BTW, do not ever mention the name of Philip Agee in the presence of George H.W. Bush or Barbara Bush. Really decent people, not given to harsh language, except maybe when that name is mentioned. The Bushes knew some of the agents that were killed thanks to Philip Agee. Burn in Hell, Agee!
