Is he any relation to Michael Rivero? ;-)

BAC is like a dog with the Ron Brown bone (don't dwell on that image too long!).

Why do you talk about me BEHIND MY BACK? I call that RUDE. I forgot to cc a "move-on"er who views I quoted in one of my posts, ONE TIME, and the lot of you were all over me. Now it seems it is ok for you guys to do even worse (MAKE UP things about me) without cc'ing me. Of course, we all know that democRATS think its OK for them to do things that republicans must be held accountable for, don't we?

Why do you waste your time arguing with BAC?

Somebody better because you "move-on"ers can't just let what I post stand uncontested. Problem is, you've no FACTS to support your side. The best YOU can do is make a falacious adhominem attack ... BEHIND MY BACK. Now granted, I'm on this thread but I still expect to be cc'd if I or my stated views are being attacked. Let's keep this "courteous".

I've got this vision of BAC's life.

You couldn't be more wrong. Its just that I don't need more than one issue (Ron Brown) to show folks out there in Freeper Land what you "move-on"ers are REALLY about ... and it certainly is NOT about upholding the law when it comes to either democRATS or (perhaps) Republicans.

LOL, too late.

[T. Jefferson]

Well, now I feel so much better... Starr will make sure the truth comes out..
Despite 125 people pleading the fifth, shredded documents, 68 people fleeing the country, and 3 murdered witnesses, Starr got 12 convictions, had the governor of Arkansas kicked out of office, and got the 1st elected President impeached. Not bad.

I'd prefer Ted Olsen or Beck, but I imagine Olsen will be a Supreme Court nominee.

[Howlin]

YES..........and thanks........I would have missed it.

I wanted to see him BLAST that stupid reporter again!

[sinkspur]

Somebody better because you "move-on"ers can't just let what I post stand uncontested.

Sure we can. We do it all the time.

We're worn out with your endless Ron Brown parade.

Remember when the conspiracy laws were passed, back in the 60's? First case up was the Chicago 8. But they never challenged the case on the law. So now we have RICO and other unConstitutional monstrosities. It makes a big difference who argues what.

The CFR is unconstitutional, top to bottom. Scalia will say so, and Thomas. Rehnquist? O'Conner? Stevens? It could go 7-2 either way. Need arguments to strike down Buckley while we're at it. And GWB says he'll sign it. And Ashcroft (no evidence of wrongdoing in McVey or Waco) will defend it.

I have no idea how the Supreme COurt will rule. And what happens if the case takes a while to get there? Or the corporate giants deny 60-day ads "in the spirit" of CFR in 2002? Lots of ways this can play out, none of them good for freedom.

For freedom,

Here's a thread on the vouchers hearing:

An adhominen attack ... a typical democRAT debating technique.

And you are certainly free to address ANY of the facts I listed in my post to Howlin ... if you dare. Or will you just "move-on" too?

[humbletheFiend]

Maybe Starr can get the "goods" on these guys.

LOL

[lawdog]

Gentlemen, "the fix is in" !

[BeAChooser]

I sometimes believe BAC would DIE if Ron Brown was alive.

No, I'd just ask you about the Riady non-refund or Filegate. Oh! I have! And you ran from those topics TOO.

[BeAChooser]

BAC is like a dog with the Ron Brown bone

PIT BULL.

The picture of Starr in Truth at Any Cost, Susan Schmidt & Michael Weisskopf, is different from that in The Strange Death of Vincent Foster, Christopher Ruddy.

For years the 90% Democrat press and newsreaders heaped abuse on him. Saturday Night Live and Larry Flynt and James Carville blasted him.

Spectators watching him abandoning Miquel Rodriguez to the death of a thousand cuts, and being outmaneuvered by Monica Lewinsky (Strange and Truth respectively) cringe at the thought of a rematch of those cases.

But this will be before the no-nonsense author of Grand Inquests, William H. Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States--and Larry Flynt and James Carville and Saturday Night Live won't be in the chamber.

Having had a recent glimpse of the tenor of those proceedings where Ted Olson and David Boies pled to Olympus, it brought new meaning to the old tag line, "Heah come de judge."

While it's clear that Vince Foster didn't get up from the table and go get his Honda keys (relying on Craig Livingstone for that), it's also clear that Starr is just corny enough to really have reverence for "the majesty of the law".

At first blush, it seems the worst of bad jokes.

But 80% approval and the clarifying moment of 9/11 has focused the mind. Bernard Goldberg's Bias and Election 2000 has neutered the newsreaders. In the rarified air of the Supreme Court bar it is likely that the bar to mention of candidates' names will be whacked by a terrible swift sword.

So let it be written; so let it be done.

[RamsNo1]

Ted Olson argues for the government and the government will officially endorse this CFR crap next week.

[deport]

Who will be defending this legislation when it gets before the SCOTUS.... The Legislature, McCain/Daschle and their selected attorneys?

Yep ol' Vern..... I heard somewhere that Brown... well, never mind. LOL

[linn37]

Think with what? Their brain cells seem to be stuck on Starr and sex.

Gees no wonder we lose so much in our party ,look at the pack of whiners in it? Starr was right,the President and the media painted him as wrong. So for that you heap on insults?

[Howlin]

Somebody from DOJ is suppose to represent them, aren't they? I'm not sure. Ted Olson?

[Howlin]

What part of "it's the law" don't you understand?

[Theodore R.]

Ken Starr does not believe in the James Carville school of politics. That's why this "nice guy" will ALWAYS FINISH LAST. Poor Ken won't know who hit him the hardest. He plays by all the nice, fine rules of a Philadelphia lawyer. He cannot fathom that others do not play by his Marquis de "Starrbury" rules of politics. Probably, he is waiting for Dianne Sawyer to say something nice about him. Well, he might wait quite some time if that is his hope. But Ken, in the words of former Governor Ann Willis Richards, D-TX, "cain't he'p it," he's just too gentlemanly to be taken seriously in the rough-and-tumble of politics.
