OMFG, if you've lost the VFW, you've lost the war. I did notice on
seeing tapes of the VFW audience, some members with held their
applause. The vets aren't happy and that is not good for a "national
security" president.

So maybe all americans need to be protected with bullshit protection flaps.....
Looks like the vaunted White House advance screening/purging operation
has slipped a bit. Back in the day, this dude would have never gotten
through the door. He would have been "rendered" a couple miles down the
road to the protestors' paddock.
The thing around his neck says Army and if he's 73, I'm guessing he was in Korea??
The
photographer got his name and age, which means that Mr. Moyer was
willing to give out that information. Brave guy twice over. Once for
fighting in Korea and twice for being willing to stand up to the Rovian
slime machine.
AP caption says he served in the post WWII occupation of Germany, in Korea and in Vietnam.
Why does it take our senior generation to tell us like it is. How can
anyone make a more profound statement than that of Mr. Moyer. I can
only guess that with age, comes the innate ability to know who is
really the cause of that "clusterf***" called Iraq.
NBC needs to assign
O'Donnell to anchor a gardening show. She's certainly not up to her
current assignment.
Nora O'Donnell
playing the part of a sexy TV newsperson, tried to fill in for Chris
Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball. Mark
Williams appeared on Hard Ball today and was about as obnoxious a ass
as I've seen. He was like a rabid
animal, practically foaming at the mouth. Hysteria. He-well I
can't call it a debate because he filibustered the whole segment, so
much so that Nora lost control of the segment. Norah should have
taken charge and
forcefuilly told him to cool it. Instead, she practically begs him to
allow Mrs. Rowley to speak. When he wouldn't do so is when O'Donnell
should have cut off
his microphone. A demagogue like Williams probably sensed that he could
get away it and O'Donnell proved that he was right.
I
know that it must be tough for Norah O'Donnell filling in for Chris
Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball. What, with makeup, the hair stylist
and all, I'm sure she doesn't have the time to actually look up any,
well, facts before the pretty camera light goes on.
The Yellow Dog Blog is here to help.
So, Norah, before you go on the air and once again refer to Cindy Sheehan and the protestors in Crawford as "anti-war
extremists," please have a look at numbers showing that the good people at Camp Casey are very much in
the mainstream.
From the CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll of
Aug. 5-7, 2005:
* 54 percent of Americans believe
the United States made a mistake in sending troops to Iraq. *
54 percent say it was not worth going to war in Iraq. * 56
percent believe things are going either "moderately badly" or "very
badly" in Iraq. * 57 percent of respondents say that the war
with Iraq has made the U.S. less safe from
terrorism.
How about the Newsweek Poll from Aug.
2-4, 2005?
* 61 percent of Americans disapprove of
the way Bush is handling the situation in Iraq. * 64 percent
say that the Iraq war has not made Americans safer from
terrorism.
Let's look at the Associated Press/Ipsos
poll dated Aug. 1-3, 2005:
*Respondents
were asked "When it comes to handling the situation in Iraq, do you
approve or disapprove or have mixed feelings about the
way George W. Bush is handling that issue?" 59 percent
disapprove. So you see, Norah, people who disagree
with the war in Iraq are actually in the
majority.
You're welcome. Now, please apologize to Coleen
Rowley, who you blindsided on Hardball last night. Say you're sorry to
Cindy Sheehan while you're at it.
Oh, and don't worry, the secret and the
incredible irony -- that you have a Bachelor of Arts degree in
philosophy, is safe with me.
I
don't know if Norah couldn't stop him or just
didn't want to stop him. She seems to revel in anyone that defends the
chickenhawk n thief. Again, a right winger displaying all the
characteristics of their ilk. They are experts at shouting down
anyone with whom they disagree. This man should have been given a
valium enema!
Just to note, Williams is a blowhard chickenhawk, Rowley a former FBI
agent. My bet is that while he'd be wimpering in the corner, she'd kick his ass and pistol whip him for sport.
