FR Current Events Project: Keeping Tabs on the Media's Attacks on Bush and the Republican Party

All Media Sources | July 10, 2002

[Howlin]

I have honestly lost count of all the lies and distortions being thrown about in the press these last few weeks concerning Bush and his agenda, and the things going on in and around this country, especially concerning the government, the DOJ, and the Congress.

I would like to use this thread -- and you other Freepers -- to compile a COMPLETE THREAD of all the various errors we find in and among the articles we read on here and the news shows that we see daily on TV.

My thoughts are that if we get them all on one thread, maybe we can figure out what the heck is going on in this country and, more importantly in my opinion, WHO is doing it.

Please include the URL for the article or news report you will add to the list; if it is not from a thread on FR, please copy and paste the article, along with date, time, and source to this thread in order to preserve the information.

As always, be careful which newspapers/magazines you post full articles from.

I believe we are in a full frontal fight for the life of this country, the Supreme Court, and the things we believe in. We need to prepare ourselves to refute all the distortions being continually spewed over the airwaves and in the papers of this country.

Now, get to work!

Good idea!

Has anyone posted this one yet? U.S. quietly OKs fetal stem cell work - Bush allows funding despite federal limits on embryo use

Most misleading headline I've seen all week.

[TLBSHOW]

These rats have a nonstop smear planned for everyday till the election. They want to have voters not vote.

[ladyinred]

BTW: I think once we get to the bottom of this, and I have no doubt we will, lying at the bottom of the pile will be the one most evil female on the planet!
This reeks of Hillary Clinton behind the scenes. She immediately upon taking office in New York wanted to set up a War room in the Senate to go after Bush.
The fact that Carville is involved really points to her as well as Craig Livingstone. The media has recently put some of Clinton's cronies in key positions on their so called news programs. We have been set up, and ole Crusty is behind this, I will bet my life on it! This is her MO.

Clearly Ross Perot had a personal interest in getting Bill Clinton elected. But as to the current Democrat/media assault. I firmly believe it has less to do with the midterm and more to do with the active investigations of the FBI and SEC.

Remember one of the Clinton MOs was to accuse others of that which they did to be able to say "see everybody does it". The other was to get info out about others so they could say, "see these folks are just trying to get even". The last was to leak info and then claim it is old news when officially announced. The problem with that is they don't have as much access to inside scoop as they used to. That is why the Dems rant and rave for investigations. May be the reason behind a few of the Klayman suits.

Remember a few week ago on one of the talking head shows, a Republican member of the House Intellegence committee sat listening to one of the "what did they know and when did they know it rants." The Pubbie looked like the cat who had swallowed the canary. He only said, though, that "the truth" about the whole intellegence problems would come out soon.

In addition, as we have discussed, the SEC ramped up manpower 6 to 8 months ago. Bush's chief economic advisor indicated that the SEC hit the ground running with investigations as soon as Pitt was confirmed.

You are right. Something weird is going on, however, I don't think we have seen the reason behind it yet.

I am also convinced that they are working together and somewhere in the mix is Carville as the clinton stoolie!

Ms. clinton is preparing her run for Pres in 2004 if she can pull it off! That's what this is all about!

Call that one giagantic hunch!

[Mo1]

You may be right about them two ..

BTW .. did you know Ross Perot is in the hot seat ??

Ross Perot to Be Grilled by Senators

[deport]

As I understand it fundraiser guests are ushered through the hall to a tent in the back yard.

Do they use port-a-potties or do they just not let Al Gore drink any tea?

[PhiKapMom]

Rep Tarzin from LA has been out investigating going back to 1992. I wonder why?

[PhiKapMom]

Perot sure is in the hot seat. If the little weasel talks it could cause big problems for the clintons and others IMHO!

Klayman is out to attack Cheney to get the rest of the news off the front page IMO. Heck my opinion isn't humble when it come sto this bunch of crap!

[Wild Irish Rogue]

The transcript of Tuesday night,July 9,Crossfire will show Paul Begala referring to Bush as a criminal or his criminal past- can't remember the exact quote,but it was basically that Bush is a criminal.

[Miss Marple]

I still want to know about that computer HRC has.

I took sinus medicine and am going to bed. I will check in tomorrow. Maybe I will have an idea when I am less tired.

I don't see how the dems can make this into an administration problem. According to this article, when VP Cheney resigned from Halliburton, he sold his stock and gave the unvested proceeds to charity to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. (Unlike certain democrat holdovers, who kept their corporate holdings.)

InsightMagazine A Taxing Dilemma By John Berlau berlau@insightmag.com

Unlike Bush Cabinet officials, a Bill Clinton holdover who is IRS commissioner refuses to divest large holdings in the company he used to run which does big business with the IRS.

When it was revealed that Dick Cheney would be running for vice president on the GOP ticket with George W. Bush, Cheney was pummeled with questions about potential conflicts of interest that might result from his holdings in Halliburton Corp., the oil-services company Cheney headed before he was tapped as Bush's running mate. Cheney sold the stock and turned over his unvested options to an independent administrator to give the proceeds to charity.

I remember reading somewhere where Marc Rich introduced Terry Lensner (sp?, I know it is wrong) to Clinton sometime during the 91 - 92 time frame. Plus we know that Ken Lay made buds with Clinton during the same period of time as well. This is looking like an amazing convergence of evil. Although Perot had an interest in Hillary care, the common denominator of the big boys was energy. As for the thugs, they don't get any nastier than Terry L, Craig Livingstone, James Carville, and the Dixie Mafia.

Bush's chief economic advisor indicated that the SEC hit the ground running with investigations as soon as Pitt was confirmed.

On Cavuto's show .. Gerphart was on and talking about how Pitt had to recuse himself 29 times because of conflict of interest ... and Neil mentioned how the statue of limitation for that is one year and that Pitt would be clear of any conflicts pretty soon and if given the full job he could go full steam ahead on these corporations

I can't help but think these corporations are the Saving's & Loan of the 90's

[terilyn]

I trust your hunch!

Now instead of being sick, I'm terrified.

Perot designed the computer systems for the state's now-defunct Power Exchange and for the Independent System Operator which runs its power grid, both of which were thrown into turmoil last year as wholesale energy prices soared in the wake of California's bungled efforts at deregulation.

STATE OFFICIAL RELEASES DOCUMENTS

Earlier this week, California State Sen. Joseph Dunn, who is chairman of a committee examining California's energy crisis, released a 44-page document outlining the alleged Perot trading strategies.

The strategy document was given to him by Reliant Energy Inc. as part of his investigation into the state's power crisis.

Reliant confirmed that the documents were part of a sales presentation made by Perot to the company; a Reliant spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday the company believes the presentation was made in 1997 but is not sure.

She said Perot also made a presentation to some of its energy traders in June 1998, for which Perot was paid $11,000, though she said the particular presentation in question was not part of that June 1998 pitch.

"The presentation didn't lead to any subsequent business relationship bet Perot Systems and our company," she said.

Plus we know that Ken Lay made buds with Clinton during the same period of time as well.

BTW .. it was reported back in January by the Washington Post that Top Executives spent election night with Gore and Lieberman

Not sure if it means anything .. just thought I'd mention it

[PhiKapMom]

I am with you -- I want to know about that secure room she had built in her house to house those computers. She is using USSS to hide whatever she is up to and it won't be up to anything good!

Hope you feel better in the morning!

[Wait4Truth]

Wow! Amazing stuff! This stuff seems like it's from another world!
