Time for Tweet (Hardball)

[MoonRiver]

[dennis4868]

1. What did Tweety say....

about someone who served with Kerry now has new attacks on Kerry?

WTF?

I hate Lisa Myers!

[MoonRiver]

3. Don't know yet.

They're talking about a Pentagon spy for Israel now!

[skooooo]

2. We don't get it on the west coast...

..and i'm pissed.

[RadiDem]

6. I'm watching it in SoCal on MSNBC -nt-

ffff

[skooooo]

8. I'll check schedule again..

..but I can never get it in eastern Washington.

[skooooo]

10. Here's MSNBC schedule in my area..

Olympics for another hour 'til 5.
Donny Deutsch from 5 to 6

Then Dennis Miller.

It sucks. Hardball is NEVER on here.

[dennis4868]

11. Those shows are not....

on MSNBC....they are on CNBC.

[skooooo]

12. Doh!

Ok...well let me look again!

[skooooo]

18. Great...our cable company..

doesn't even carry MSNBC. That sucks because everyone is talking about it now on DU.

[RadiDem]

28. I'm watching it on MSNBC on Comcast Cable in L.A.

as I write this.

[RadiDem]

4. Starts off with Israeli spy case >

I can't believe theyre going to have another intview with a smearboatliar.

The admiral.

[dennis4868]

7. And Tweety....

the other day wondered why the Swift Boat fiasco does not end.....BECAUSE YOU KEEP BRINGING THESE LIARS ON YOUR DAMN SHOW!

[MoonRiver]

5. Abu Ghraib prison scandal next.

[lapfog_1]

15. YEAH.

Karpinski almost spilled the beans. She didn't name names,
but implied it was MILLER who brought in the expertise and
torture equipment and suggested that her troops apply the
techniques from Gitmo. Tweety kept supplying the names, and
she didn't disagree (which is as close as I think she can get).

Lindsay Graham on now.

[MoonRiver]

16. Real interesting. eom

[MoonRiver]

9. "Where do all these implements come from, hoods......"

:kick: for Tweet

[A_Possum]

13. Hope he points out to Schacte that there were only THREE in the boat

And two of them agree with Kerry.

Maybe the admiral was trailing behind in an inner tube.

[realFedUp]

14. Free ride for Gen. Karpinski

The Tweet threw some softballs. What a stupid interview.
Why does he make so much money?

[dennis4868]

17. its his good looks.....

:-)

[realFedUp]

20. He looks like a canary....

with thin lips.

[realFedUp]

19. Lyndsey Graham says

there were orgies among the prisoners themselves...
his problem was with the dogs.

oh lord, help us.

[realFedUp]

21. Tweet says Rummy seems "immune"

Graham says too many prisoners to handle...

and adios to Lindsay...
Tweet doesn't want to piss off any Republicans
because he needs to book them next week.

[realFedUp]

22. I do like David Shuster...

don't know who writes his stuff, but he seems
more fair
They are playing MoveOn.pac ads briefly

[dennis4868]

23. he just lied....

he said Kerry voted to go into Iraq.....

[realFedUp]

27. I know...these guys pass it around like it's gospel

He voted to give Bush authority (which was
his big mistake knowing what a liar Bush is)
and Bush misused and now admits he
miscalculated it.

[KharmaTrain]

30. I Know Democrats Who Still Can't Differentiate

This has to be clarified or the "Kerry voted for the Iraq invasion" meme goes on.

The vote was on the authorization, not the invasion. Now I also have serious issues about the authorization, but it's one that's been argued among many parties since the Gulf Of Tonkin days.

[realFedUp]

33. I love your little Bush toast icon

I might have to borrow that one :-)

[KharmaTrain]

42. Help Yourself...

I wish I could remember the DU'er who came up with it in the first place. Hopefully, I've got a far more toastier one to use at the proper time.

Cheers!

[Pirate Smile]

81. They have removed the chip implanted in his brain from when he

worked for FAUX. It always amazes me to listen to reporters when they move to different stations and look at the difference in their reporting.

John Gibson used to work for MSNBC. Major Garrett worked for CNN. They go to Faux and they take up the talking points immediately and you don't even recognize them.

[MoonRiver]

24. Some reporter just said

It's not hard to find * voters from 2000 now voting for Kerry, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find Gore voters from 2000 voting for *!!!!!

:kick:

[dennis4868]

29. nope...

he said there is a percentage of people who voted for Gore who are now voting for Bush....I dont believe that....byt that is what he said.

[MoonRiver]

34. I don't believe it either. I heard something different, but I could have

missed the gist. I was on the phone when that segment was on.

[Catt03]

61. I heard the same as Saywhat

hard to find Gore voters who will vote for Bush but not hard to find Bush voters (in last election) who will vote for Kerry.

[zaj]

79. I know at least one...

... very conservative Dem. Likes Bush's recklessness. Calls it agressiveness. He's a Dem only in name, but swears that he voted Gore.

[realFedUp]

31. amen.

and we know that even the votes that got counted
were a majority for Gore.

[dennis4868]

25. I cannot imagine.....

how someone can logically, intellectually and objectively vote for Bush after voting for Gore 4 years ago....WTF is that all about?

[MoonRiver]

32. Didn't the guy say they can't find ANYBODY who voted for Gore

who's voting for * now? That's what I heard at least.

[dennis4868]

35. hmmmmm.....

thought I heard it my way.....perhaps I got it wrong...will have to check that up on TIVO

[MoonRiver]

36. You're the second person who's contradicted me.

So you're probably right.

[alcuno]

43. No, you are right.

Schuster said that while (pollsters) can find some * voters going for Kerry, they can't find Gore voters going for *.

[MoonRiver]

69. OK. Thanks for that.

These interviews go by so fast and I'm usually somewhat distracted while listening, that I often doubt my own ears!

[RamboLiberal]

83. Schuster said the same in the Hardball blog the other day

Said one thing he had to agree with Trippi on (Trippi said this about PA voters) that it was hard to find any Gore voters voting for *.

[Pirate Smile]

47. That is why that LA Times poll that says 15% of Dem's are voting for

Shrub is crazy. What are the demographics of that poll? They must be screwed up.

[Pirate Smile]

60. He has also said that on the MSNBC Hardblogger. Both he and Trippi

have said that.

I have heard Schuster say repeatedly that he hasn't found anyone (at State Fairs and other places) that voted for Gore that is voting for Shrub.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

26. just showed that

10 times more $ to Bush from the Agribusiness, Energy & Transportation industries than to Kerry.

[tishaLA]

37. Fucking Lisa Meyers!

Oh I hate her

[MoonRiver]

40. I know

:mad:

[realFedUp]

38. Lisa Myers...

a rnc reliable source....

Isn't this absurd...liars for Bush.

[KharmaTrain]

49. A Whore Who Knows Her Profession Well...

After the first three minutes giving Schacte unquestioned time to level charges, she then covers her huuuuuuege ass by saying there's no substantiation for his claims. A real journalist would have put that fact ahead of the charges, not afterwards!

[dennis4868]

58. A REAL JOURNALIST......

would not even make this a story....NO EVIDENCE = NO STORY!

[redstateblues]

51. Glad I didn't watch-Is it safe to go back in the water yet?

[Andromeda]

39. First Purple Heart questioned by SBV

on Hardball now.

Retired Admiral Wm. Schachte says Kerry didn't earn his Purple Heart.

[MoonRiver]

41. Someone on Kerry's swiftboat now saying Kerry was injured

during combat.

[A_Possum]

44. Names? thanks

which vet? There were only 2 besides Kerry, both support him.

[MoonRiver]

46. It's over now. We'll have to look in the transcripts later.

[tishaLA]

56. Precisely

but this admiral is now saying he was on the boat and Meyers never bothered to say "oh btw you know the people on the boat say you weren't there". That a load of shit that one is. poor fucking excuse for a reporter....she needs Tweety to ask the right questions for her. Utterly fucking worthless.

[Pirate Smile]

76. There was an article last week or the week before where one of the two

guys on the boat says "Well, (other guys name) and I may not be the smartest guys in the world, but we can count to three." Kerry and the two of them were the only ones in the boat.

I think he said Runyon and Zeladonis (sp?) were the other two guys.

[tishaLA]

48. I just can't believe how they give the benefit of the doubt

to Kerry being underserving. Isn't this the same bullshit Lisa Meyers always does?

Now Tweety seems to be actually CLARIFYING this and poking holes MEYERS should have found!

What about the idea that this Adm. wasn't even on the fucking boat?! Why didn't she ask that?!

[mbali]

53. This is bizarre

Lisa Myers sounds like one of the Swift Boat Vets - repeating their story as if she's their spokeswoman. And Tweety's grilling her like she should have grilled the Swift Boat Liars.

[PA Democrat]

50. They showed Retired Admiral Wm. Schachte 's political contributions

to George W Bush's presidential election campaign.

[MoonRiver]

52. Yes!

:kick:

[liveoaktx]

54. *That really strikes at the heart of your own personal honor*-yuh-huh

and these guys that are SMEARING Kerry care about honor? Oh, only if they can strike at the heart of KERRY's personal honor.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

57. Saw Novacula Yesterday Gloating about this guy!

Novak Yesterday on Crossfire said wait for this guy's story...don't tell me they are not coordinating all this...from the top

[redstateblues]

drip drip drip

[RadiDem]

45. Dole admitted he got a Purple Heart for a grenade he himself threw

This story is bullshit

[realFedUp]

55. Questioning the purple hearts....

These medals are losing their metal....

[LittleApple81]

59. I AM TOTALLY FED UP WITH THIS CRAP!!!! I want to talk about Bush's record

not stupid medals. There is so much mud being thrown at Kerry that it is making me literally sick of the whole campaign.

[redstateblues]

70. Ron Reagan -Thank You- Speaking The Truth- Tweety Agrees

[My Pet Goat]

73. The real gist of the WP article was correct..

They can't carry the burden to disprove Kerry's war record. Many in the press think it is Kerry's burden. Can you believe the type of world we would live in if the burden was on each of us to defend against charges by people who just make shit up??

[LittleApple81]

82. Who was that repug slime that was saying "the far left demonstrators

had JK t-shirts" and that proves that Kerry is far left?????? THESE PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY THE SCUM OF THE EARTH AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SHARE THE PLANET WITH THEM.

[dogtag]

65. This is INSANE !!!

There were only THREE people on that Boston Whaler. Kerry and two enlisted men. NOW this buttwipe is saying that HE was there too? I love the swabbie who said, "We may not be the brightest, but we can count to 3." The Vice Admiral apparently cannot.

[TacticalPeek]

62. As I saw somewhere else,

There are 4 guys who say they were on that 14' boat that night.

All four agree on three of the guys being there.

Those three guys all agree that the fourth, Admiral Pissedoff, was not on the boat that night.

Where is the problem? Is this a math challenge?

[Cush]

63. Reagam Jr is on

[realFedUp]

64. Ron Reagan on now

and some unknown guy

[realFedUp]

67. Reagan says we've seen these Republican distractions before

Ron calls the Swifties a pack of liars.
Says these guys have been after Kerry for
a long time...yeah, since Nixon.
Sorry lives

heehee

[MoonRiver]

85. Emphasis on REPUBLICAN!

Go Ron Reagan Jr.!!!

[gumby]

66. It's official:

Lisa Myers HAS NO SHAME!

[My Pet Goat]

68. Ron Reagan:

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (cough) are a pack of liars.

[dogtag]

72. Where's the discussion

about Shrubs non service? There's ample evidence that he LIED.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

71. Lisa Myers reporting

Kerry's "most frightening night". His first purple heart.

Admiral Schacte saying Kerry nicked himself with a frag from an m79 grenade launcher.
No documents back this.
Bill Zaladonis remembers Kerry shooting m-16, it jammed. Kerry goes to get another rifle, then Kerry was hurt.
Schacte has twice contributed 2k to Bush.
Schacte when asked if he's doing this for Bush "For God's sake no".
2 others - Patrick and Runyon - say it was also the "scariest night of their lives".
<paraphrasing, except quotes>
_____
Tweety and Lisa then went on to explain Bush's scariest night of his life, one he didn't earn medals for. It seems he woke one dark night in the summer of '70 -or 78, he can't recall - after sleeping all day. He stumbled around the perimeter of his bedroom, blinded by the tracer-like effect of the nightlight in the hallway slamming against his hangover-sensitive retinas. When he finally made it to the fridge, after being separated from his mexican waitstaff, he found there was no beer in the fridge. Riveting.

[MooPie]

78. ROFLMAO!

Hahahahahahahahahaha. That last part is hysterical. Man, are you quick!

[TheWebHead]

74. Earth to Tweety

There is breaking news, news from 2004, on a spy in the Pentagon with ties to Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, two leading hawks that Dems have been hammering for misleading us into war, and you're still fucking talking about this 30+ year non-story. Why are we giving Tweety an atta boy when he does this shit?

[MoonRiver]

84. He mentioned it! See my post #3.

I think (?) this is breaking.

[JohnnyRingo]

75. Great quote... The swiftys contend that JK got the purple hearts to....

....get a free ticket home from VN.

"There's an easier way to get home from 'Nam....Don't go in the fist place" ! "Like Buxh, Cheney and the others."

[SlavesandBulldozers]

77. that was the best

wish i got that guys name

[MoonRiver]

80. Absolutely! That statement was a classic!

Let's pass it on!

[A_Possum]

86. Ohh, can't wait for the transcript!

Cool.
