AXIS OF IMBECILES

Just as the Australian Labor Party is wigging out, so too are the US Democrats. Charles Krauthammer reports:

Bill Moyers may have his politics, but his deferential demeanor and almost avuncular television style made him the Mr. Rogers of American politics. So when he leaves his neighborhood to go to a "Take Back America" rally and denounces George W. Bush's "government of, by and for the ruling corporate class," leading a "right-wing wrecking crew" engaged in "a deliberate, intentional destruction of the United States way of governing," you know that something is going on.

That something is the unhinging of the Democratic Party.

Wouldn't you be unhinged, ape-sh*t batty, too, if your opponents stole elections, rigged elections, spearheaded elections *between* elections, lied to get a war started that lead to the senseless deaths of tens of troops, misused our nation's precious resources in a misguided attempt to get some nutty terrorist, then missed getting that nutty terrorist altogether, gutted Social Security and Medicare, lied! lied! lied!, and lied, to boot?

Then you might be a member of the Spittle Brigades (TM), that intrepid band of frothmeisters hellbent on saving the good ol' USA from itself, even if it has to keep dumb African-Americans and Hispanics from the polls.

Bill Moyers has become a multimillionaire by using the US Government to fleece taxpayers in order to pay for Moyer’s shows on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service). Furthermore, Moyer’s is paid an astounding sum of money to manage a charitable corporation funded by tax-deductible donations (the rest of us must pay more taxes to make up for the charity’s funding). This "charity" funds left-wing causes. So Moyers is someone who knows how to enrich himself through manipulating both corporations and the government

Tongue Boy is tongue in cheek. Read his message... especially the second paragraph.

"lied to get a war started...." (that overthrew one of the 20th century's worst tyrants, and that is saying a LOT!).... "that led to the senseless death of TENS of troops...."

TENS of troops!?!?!?

Let's take the wayback machine, Sherman, back to, oh, anywhwere in the last twelve years, and ask yourself and any political leader worth anything at all on this planet if the end of Saddam's blood-rule would be worth.. ahem.... TENS of troops. Gosh, maybe even.... DOZENS!!! to break a mighty vertabrae of monstrous tyranny in the Middle East.

Saddam is gone six months, reform and potential reform breezes throughout the world's worst backwater, the number of US troop combat deaths is still less than the number of US troops killed in a Gander, Newfoundland plane crash in the eighties, and less than one tenth the number of civilians killed by Arab fascists on 9/11..... and its not good enough!!!

"Tens" of troops.

Thanks for speaking volumes in one word.

(Gulp)

Me-thinks yer right, Bruce.

Man, I gotta get my meters tuned!

Salon, of all places, once completely described Moyers as a "gullible middlebrow."

Oddly enough, Salon was probably standing right next to him, denouncing America.

Tongue Boy, your link is busted. [GROWL] Do I have to make the instructions letters 100 pixels high? [/GROWL]

Bill Moyers,what a joke. Speaking of lies and liars does that asshat remember when he was flacking for the consumate democrat liar Lyndon Johnson?

Krauthammer my favorite cripple.

Posted by: Brendan at September 17, 2003 at 05:52 PM

Tsk, Tsk Brendan. At least Krauthammer's only crippled in the body. You, however are revealing an ugly, crippled soul.

Posted by: nobody important at September 17, 2003 at 07:54 PM

I said he is my favorite cripple, what is wrong with that? Should I call him my favorite disabled person? Do you know if he is a true crip? Or, is he a fake crip like Chris Reeve?

All joking aside, I really do appreciate his views. He is my favorite commentator on Special Report with Brit Hume (which I’m watching right now). He always makes insightful observations when it comes to politics.

/Goes outside to kill baby rabbits and other cute animals, to satisfy my evil bloodthirsty soul.
