VABills Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 You know een I admit that Bush and Cheney have done enough to have critics and non critics complain about things. But for the Washington Post to run a multipage article about how Cheney was dressed incorrectly for the ceremonies yesterday is just too much. They complained yes it was cold but Cheney should have sucked it up and not worn the parka and hat. Sorry, but this is just plain old mean politics and inappropriate reporting on the part of the Post.

VABills Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 They know he's bald, right? 221442[/snapback] Not only that but the guy has a heart attack every other day. He needs to stay warm. Who really gives a sh-- what he wore as long as it wasn't jeans and a "Kerry sucks" t-shirt.

SilverNRed Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 You think that's bad? The Daily Texan (official newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin) used the occasion to compare Auschwitz to what our troops are doing in Iraq on their Opinion page. Daily Texan Online What, you thought that the lesson was, "Never again would killings occur on a massive scale?" Please. It happened in China in 1966 when Mao led the Cultural revolution and killed 11 million people to promote his party and solidify his rule. It happened in Cambodia when Pol Pot murdered 1.7 million citizens in the mid-70s. One million died in Algeria fighting the French, because Charles DeGaulle ordered it. Brezhnev killed 900,000 when Russia invaded Afghanistan, and 800,000 died in Rwanda in the 1990s. No mention of the mass graves in Iraq but they do make a connection to Iraq..... Cheney's words ring hollow as his administration attempts to promote a man who expressly condones torture, Alberto Gonzales, to the highest law-enforcement position in the United States. They ring hollow as more evidence is uncovered that the acts of barbarism at Abu Ghraib were not isolated incidents but rather acts according to policy set down by the executive branch. They ring hollow as 200,000 Iraqi civilians - at last count - die in a needless war while the United States admits that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and quietly stopped searching for them after the election. What we are doing in Iraq is not genocide, but it is still massive unjustified killing. Read it all and marvel at the stupidity. I'd love to know where they got 200,000 from. There was that one study released just a week before the election that said 100,000 but its methods were very questionable and almost every other study gave figures an order of magnitude less than that. But, hey, whatever. Again, you have to wonder what journalists are actually qualified to do. They basically just write about things they don't understand (economy, politics, war, etc.) and they actually have to go to college to learn how to do even that.

SilverNRed Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 just another example of ignorant leftism. Like there's any other kind. 221539[/snapback] It's more than that. You go to journalism school and you come out with less perspective (and more idealogy) than you had before. It's not like I got my BS in mechanical engineering and had even less understanding than when I started.

Particularly given that I know a hell of a lot...for him to have forgotten more than I know, he'd be a babbling drooling idiot afterwards... ...explains a lot, don't it?
boomerjamhead Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 just another example of ignorant leftism. Like there's any other kind. 221539[/snapback] I think there's also a category called extreme ignorant leftism that is reserved for those leftists who aspire to out-leftist their leftist peers.
Alaska Darin Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Imagine the media headlines if he later came down with pneumonia from not wearing proper attire. Idiots.

KRC Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Are you reffering to the Times story or the post that started this thread? 221954[/snapback] I am referring to the Post story that was referenced in the original post. It was one of the lead stories on the Post website.
RkFast Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Was the coat a little much? Maybe. Does Cheney and the United States deserve critiscism? Please. And if any more DOES come, then the U.S. should remind all those loudmouths "over there" that the color olive drab Cheney wore was the same color as the uniforms of the tens of thousands of American soldiers who sacrificed their lives to liberate Europe from the Nazis in the first place, so that the gates to all those terrible camps could be opened. Game, set, match.
/dev/null Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 sad, really sad just proves how hypocritical the left really is. criticizing cheney for that coat while not saying a word about hillary's awful pantsuits
boomerjamhead Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Now Jeff Katz (Right Wing radio talkshow host on KNEW before Savage) is out here blasting Cheney too. In other news today... a total of five people paused to remember those we lost nineteen years ago in the last flight of Space Shuttle Challenger...
