Claim vs. Fact: Rice's Q&A Testimony Before the 9/11 Commission

Center for American Progress

[<1/1,000,000th%]

'The question I'm asked most often is, When are we getting our eight words?' Podesta said. Conservatives, he went on, 'have their eight words in a bumper sticker: Less government. Lower taxes. Less welfare. And so on. Where's our eight-word bumper sticker? Well, it's harder for us, because we believe in a lot more things.'

"Frankly, all we want is to steal people's money and make their children available for our sexual gratification. It's too big to fit on a bumper sticker," Podesta added. /proposed sarcasm

Can someone please summon the new Dr Rice viking kitty?

Thanks.

Progress, as in Progressive which equals Socialism

The tragic irony here is these little Podesta pansies are probably gathered around their little monitors right now, giggling like school girls, feeling absolutely no remorse that if they had treated Al Qaeda as seriously as they did "Bimbo Eruptions," over 3,000 Americans might be alive today.

CLAIM: "If we had known an attack was coming against the United States...we would have moved heaven and earth to stop it." [responding to Roemer]

FACT: Rice admits that she was told that "an attack was coming." She said, "Let me read you some of the actual chatter that was picked up in that spring and summer: Unbelievable news coming in weeks, said one. Big event -- there will be a very, very, very, very big uproar. There will be attacks in the near future." [Source: Condoleezza Rice, 4/8/04]

Not a single week has gone by since 1978 in which fundamental Islamic nutbags have not threatened to slay the Great Satan and awash its streets with blood.

Maybe partisan dirtbag Podesta should have asked his fat ass boss why he did not a single thing about it for 8 years.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

The key to the liberal message: mis-quote and take quotes out of context.

"Who in the world is the "Center for American Progress""

Maybe they're related somehow to 'Accuracy In Media' (AIM)

Darn. You've been relieved of your FR posting privileges. You'll have to post your disinformation elsewhere. Have you been to DU??? They're more gullible, more your speed.

Keep up the good work soldier. Keep terrorism in the news as much as possible and whatever you do don't let the liberals think we want them to keep this front and center.

In the words of the young

"I would like if there was a better challenger for Bush," said Justin Tucker, a 21-year-old college student from Prosser, Wash., who supports the president. "I just don't believe in ripping the president out of office during a war on terror — especially to replace him with Kerry. Who knows what Kerry's going to do?"

Less welfare. And so on. Where's our eight-word bumper sticker? Well, it's harder for us, because we believe in a lot more things.'

How about: More government. Higher taxes. More welfare. Less sovereignty.

I'd say that sums up the Progressive vision succinctly and fairly.

Gee,
We have some real rocket scientist stuff here!! Fact: Everyone on the planet has known since the first Trade Center attack that terrorist want to attack within the US. Nobody with any usable gray matter needed a briefing from anyone on this fact. I guess everyone really believes the Patriot Act would have easily passed before 911. Yeah right!!

[Stentor]

FACT: "Knowledgeable sources complain...

All I have to see. This is the Katie Colonic school of artistic obfuscation. Oh and a message to you sport; 5.

Podesta is such a brainless twit, he can’t even count.

“Less government. Lower taxes. Less welfare. And so on.” is nine words.

Can someone refute these please?

Hi Jack. Since this was your very first post on FR, you passed up an incredible opportunity to make a mark and refute these points yourself. But since you have instead posted your snarky interrogative, you now have the stench of Moby all over you, and will have to crawl out of that hole.

Better luck with your 2nd post. Stay tuned to the thread for refutations ...

You forgot "No personal accountability."

[LiteKeeper]

Ignore now and later

[Maceman]

You forgot "No personal accountability."

Well, they only asked for eight words, after all.

[Coop]

That was my version of eight words after implementing a "middle class tax cut." ;-)

[mabelkitty]

So Kerry hired his hack company?

[mabelkitty]

Honey, if you are that insecure and unable to target propoganda, there isn't much hope for you is there.

Google all you need to know.
