Found the Talking Points - by Bill O'Reilly

Activist judges: that's the subject of this evening's "Talking Points Memo". Recent court rulings allowing the release of more Abu Ghraib (search) pictures, live sex acts in Oregon, and a ban on "under God" in the pledge of allegiance point out that liberal judges are hell-bent on changing America to fit their secular progressive points of view.

Now the right is outraged over these decisions as its should be. But hold it. What about Harriet Miers? The Supreme Court nominee is being brutally attacked by some conservatives because she's not activist enough. They don't know where she stands on conservative causes. They want assurances she'll vote the conservative party line.

Isn't that judicial activism? Aha! If you don't want the left-wing activism, you can't demand right wing zealotry.

Very well put....I think there are a lot of freepers like me...I was disappointed and still am, but now I am getting so angry at the over the toppers....

that I am beginning to wonder if all of these people that I have listened to...and admired, aren't just as bad as the Dean's, McAuliffe's and Begalas...that just do NOT know how "regular" people really are.

Regular people can look upon THIS President as an honest to goodness human being...that is fallible...but not in a devious way.

BTW...off the subject..but ABC RADIO NEWS...is just as obviously biased as Terry Moron and George Stephy!!! They slant every single sentence as anti-Bush! blech

Join the Tony Snow thread in the morning. Excellent show and great Freepers there daily. :) He's calm and rational. Real Class act.

I'm usually a fan of hers, but I was shocked at the depths that she went to get ratings. I may have to switch over to Tony Snow.

I used to listen to Laura I. daily as well. Then i started running the T Snow stream at the same time. I would mute one and listen to the other depending on the guest list for that day. Since Katrina it's been an easy choice...on the plus side Tony is a FReeper and interacts with the live thread. Tony debates the issues...Laura just swings an axe lately. Hopefully that will change as I have had a great deal of respect for Laura in the past.

I have to mute the radio while listening to Rush, Levin, etc. when the news comes on. It's all anti Bush all the time. Sort of like some posters here at FR lately.......

The whole show was Laura taking callers on whether Miers should resign or not (before a hearing!) and then Laura shouting people down who disagreed.

It will be difficult for Laura to argue in the future that Presidential nominees deserve an up-or-down vote.

Bush Failed to Ask 'What Would Kristol Do?'
by Scott Ott
(2005-10-07) -- President George Bush today acknowledged that before appointing Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court he failed to ask himself the question that he habitually applies to such decisions: 'What would Kristol do?'

William Kristol, the neo-conservative editor of The Weekly Standard, has led the Republican outcry against a nominee who, conservatives fear, secretly favors abortion kiosks in shopping malls, and who may view the Constitution as metaphorical poetry.

The president, who wears a WWKD reminder bracelet, said, "I guess I got caught up in the moment, and tempted by the allure of appointing a justice who actually speaks in language I can understand."

Upon hearing of the president's remark today, Mr. Kristol said, "Acknowledging your sin is only half of repentance, but I stand ready to graciously forgive if the president will turn and follow me."

And this one:

Specter: Senators Not Qualified to Question Miers
by Scott Ott
(2005-10-11) -- Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-PA, announced today he will delay confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers until he can locate some Senators who are intellectually qualified to question her on the finer points of Constitutional law.

"Most of us in the Senate used to be lawyers," said Sen. Specter, "and you can't expect a simple ambulance chaser to understand the kind of weighty issues that come before the Supreme Court."

The chairman noted that Senators not only "lack the intellectual heft" to comprehend Constitutional law and formulate questions about it, but many of them became lawmakers through "what amounts to a popularity contest."

"The average senator holds his seat thanks to personal wealth, political cronyism and the ability to perform for the camera," Sen. Specter said. "Those are hardly qualifications for scrutinizing a potential Supreme Court justice about the various theories related to original intent."

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president encouraged Sen. Specter to proceed with the hearings anyway.

"As you know," Mr. McClellan said, "you go into confirmation hearings with the Senate you have, They’re not the Senate you might want or wish to have at a later time."

Sometimes I'll see his name on the thread, is that Tony really posting?

He's one of my very favorites on FOX, if they had an 'evening newscast' I'd watch his show everytime.

Hello,

I agree that Laura's show today was totally over the top. Why has she reached this level? I don't know. She has been under alot of pressure over the last few months, but I decided today that I will not be tuning in anymore. We all have our own opinions on the Mier's SC nomination (mine is I am waiting for the hearings to make a decision), but the idea that those that disagree should be held to ridicule is not one that I can agree with.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Here's a more predicatable reaction on "things"... this cheers me up no end! Sen Bayh on Rove:

"Even if he's not indicted, if it appears that a top adviser to the president of the United States was trying to harm someone personally for having a different public policy point of view, that's unacceptable behavior in the White House," Sen. Evan Bayh said.

Truth to tell, I believe that's getting really thin. Rush is attempting to rationalize his "displeasure" with the whole Miers nomination. He doesn't realize or doesn't care about the level of ammunition he is giving to the Left.

No, he's giving ammunition to the Conservative Base to keep working to reform the GOP so we can again call it home and be energized to win again in 2006 and 2008. You don't think the White House/GOP has been off the Conservative track on spending, borders/immigration, energy independence, the GWOT, etc.?

Do it, you won't be sorry. As someone else mentioned, Laura has been out to lunch since August.

Oh man....in my dreams someone would have the nerve to say that. Thanks for the laugh. :)

I was kind of worried that Laura Ingraham would crack eventually, she has been under so much pressure these past few months.

I wouldn't have faulted her at all if she took some more time off during the summer, it may be coming back to haunt her now.

William Kristol maybe the one who pays the highest price for his "commentary" in the past week.

Anyone here like him? I vote to burn him at the stake or at least strip his neo-con medal from his chest.
