Court winks at basic-rights assault; who's next? (Plames lash out after being laughed out of court)
Santa Fe New Mexican ^ | 07/02/2009 | Valerie lame and Joe Wilson

"....a citizen who has been injured by federal officials."

What??? She was "injured" by her own imagination!

What a joke she is....just another "nothing" who always thought she was a "something".

Yes, she was “injured” in a “basic-rights assault.” Sounds like a civil lawsuit’s in the works. Anything to sell some books!

For 5 years these people have known that Richard Armitage was the “leaker”, yet they are STILL lying about it. Never underestimate the shamelessness of the left.

“federal officials can use their publicly funded positions to attack political adversaries without consequence.”

No kidding? When have they ever done otherwise? People in the Clinton Administration didn’t attack their critics? Boo hoo.

“yet they are STILL lying about it. Never underestimate the shamelessness of the left.”

Don’t know if you’ve seen it, but this article at American Thinker (http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/journalists_protest_global_war.html ) today explains it:

Another theory advanced by the Nazis was the Big Lie:
“(T)he broad masses ... more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods”

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned:

He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished. —Proverbs 17:5

Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice...—Proverbs 24:17

Is this really a newspaper? It frankly sound more like a “MoveOn” type blog.

Sadly enough, it is the newspaper of record for the capitol city of New Mexico, where the motto is “ote early, vote often.”

Dang.

I had nearly forgotten the two of them existed, and they go and ruin that by writing an article about themselves.

Why doesn't she just work a street corner like the rest of them?
