The Weekly Standard: Fishing The Snake River With The Vice President

[cfin5]

Never heard of any politics mixed with fishing,.....hope I never do. Probably pollute the water too much. Leave your politics on the dock!

"The Passion of *** Cheney"

Why waste time with ***?

Just so you all know.....

The "Weekly Standard" is an ultra conservative, Neo-con oriented magazine specializing in political commentary. It was founded by William Kristol, a man so far right he has criticized both Bush and Cheney for not being conservative (read "fascist") enough. Matt Labash, author of this article, is a regular contributor. This is what he had to say about why Neo-Conservative media outlets are so popular:

"Because they feed the rage. We bring the pain to the liberal media. I say that mockingly, but it''s true somewhat. We come with a strong point of view and people like point of view journalism. While all these hand-wringing Freedom Forum types talk about objectivity, the conservative media likes to rap the liberal media on the knuckles for not being objective. We''ve created this cottage industry in which it pays to be un-objective. It pays to be subjective as much as possible. It''s a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It''s a great little racket. I''m glad we found it actually." (source, Interview with Matt Labash, The Weekly Standard, JournalismJobs.com, May 2003)

Hardly ethical, I would say, to blatantly advocate lying in one''s teeth and whipping up rage against "librul" strawmen to push a point. That is basically what Matt is saying here....Anything this magazine delivers should be treated with the scepticism and contempt it deserves.

The Passion of *** Cheney

Oil, Power, Wars, *** most Americans and shooting his friends...

[w5cdt-2009]

*** Cheney went terribly wrong somewhere. He''s a bitter (but probably smart) old cremudgeon with extreme ideas that will never be implemented. We was terribly wrong about CIA intelligence on Iraq and he didn''t learn any lessons from this mistake. Politically he''s toast and should retire from the Washington scene. Hell he doesn''t need the money that''s for sure.

Actions speak louder than words. I don''t care what a ''wit'' Cheney could be on the river.

Cheney is one of the worst people in America. He deserves his title: ''Darth Cheney''. He would definitely bring Hitlers vision to America if he could. That''s the only fortunate thing about the Bush presidency: that Bush didn''t die.

Given what has happened to this country the last eight years, I''m amazed at how relaxed some people are about their Vice President. And saying you dont like Obama because he ''looks'' fake but you like Cheney because he looks ''real'' is one of the saddest commentaries about modern American stupidity that could be made.

Cheney is Deeply UnAmerican. I hope he''s tried and imprisoned for his role in the Iraq War, if nothing else. I''d rather that he was deported.

*** Cheney recently endorsed Palin. That ensures that McCain and Palin are just another version of Bush and Cheney.
Palin and Cheney love cover-ups. Troopergate is an excellent example. Albeit, Troopergate sounds like a bad soap opera, but McCain is doing everything he can to quash the investigation. According to NBC''s Keith Olberman (Sept 17). Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner becaue he went over her head and planned a trip to Washington to get federal funds to combat rape and help rape victims. Considering that Alaska''s rate of sexual assault is 2 1/2 times the national average, one would think federal funds were needed. But Sarah says no, and when somebody does something Sarah doesn''t like she gets revenge and covers it up.
Any way if Cheney wants sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay Alaska, he''d better get there fast. Thanks to Palin the Pebble gold and copper mine can dump toxic wastes into the Bristol Bay watershed and the whole salmon fishery may get wiped out.
Hey, since I like salmon, Palin might even be worse than Cheney

Notice how Obama "slapped" his wife back in "her" place.
He''s is the Boss.
She has been out of media.
Vote Obama if you want a Racist, Socialist, Communist

AaaBee,
No Islam goes against the Constitution!
It don''t want rights for women.
I CANNOT cover my face and drive or even walk down the street.
Why can a woman of Islam do this?

Gramm Asks Ron Paul To Endorse McCain, But Paul Says No

So Phil Gramm, John McCain''s supposedly banished economic guru and campaign chairman, has been seeking Ron Paul''s endorsement.

Paul''s answer?

Not in a million years.

Pathological Liar Watch, Cont''d.

Last night Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity that she''d asked her daughters whether or not she ought to accept McCain''s VP offer before she decided to join the ticket. But according to her husband, that''s not true.

[mikelpond]

Yes, you are indeed a ***.

[jmurrieta11]

Look at that punkin-head smirk!

The Repugs deserve an a$$-whuppin just for sticking us with 8 years of that cockroach.

Grab your ankles Repugs--some JUSTICE is about to be dealt to you!

[dmgenet]

Neo-cons, (radicals not Republicans) hate America because they feel the people have too much power. They are no different than any demigod or power hungry politico; dangerous and sleazy.

[dmgenet]

Any politician who gives themselves a religious label and goes against the very tenets of their religion is a hypocrite and should rot in hell. It doesn''t matter what the religion is. Bush as a born again Christian or Bin Laden as a radical Muslim. Both are dangerous to our system of government.

Liberals support freedom of religion as stated in the US Constitution.

You can warp those words any way you wish. There is always a way to twist even the most sacred of truths, this should be self-evident. :)

"While what goes on at the South Fork Hilton is supposedly cloaked under a code of silence, a few details are forthcoming.

There are skits, Kemmerer tells me, often with elaborate props. "We clearly tell the Secret Service what we''re doing," says Kemmerer, "because some of it--well, they might shoot us." Cheney laughs readily as an observer at this campfire Friar''s Roast/Gridiron Dinner and is open to the same ribbing as everybody else. Kemmerer says there have been hanging chads strewn about the grounds, and that he personally has played John Kerry and John Edwards. "


Aaah, the playground of the disgustingly wealthy and the well-kept secret fun of the powerful. Playtime for them, while real Americans, who work through their vacations, pay the minimums on credit card debt, and feel grateful for a night out at the local bar, are the taxpayers that footing the bill.

Isn''t that what we taxpayers are here for, serfs at work to pay for *** Cheney''s amusements, to increase his wealth at the pumps, and send him off on full pension to retire after 8 successful years of serving his base...er, his country? Dems and Reps alike should revile the man.

Since all avid fishermen are genetic liars, is this a not so subtle attempt to tell us something we already know very well about Cheney??

Islam, degrades women.
How can liberals support Islam.
Liberal''s hate Ameicia like Islam.
