Bernstein on Larry King-TerrificTalking Point-"WHY NOT TELL THE TRUTH?"

[kpete]

Bernstein has nailed our "talking point" on Larry King

Why not tell the truth about the shooting?

Why not tell the truth about Katrina?

Why not tell the truth about WMD's?

Why not tell the truth about Spying?

Why not tell the truth about torture?

1. Is this All the President's Men Bernstein? n/t

[LiberalinNC]

2. Yes, Woodward and Bernstein are on together.

[spuddonna]

5. They were on TDS and Bernstein was awesome...

Woodward seemed much more hesitant to bite the hand that feeds him, IMO...

[Greeby]

7. Well, we obviously know why that is

Coz he'd been covering up his role in the Plame case for 2 years

[LiberalinNC]

8. I agree. I think Woodward has Mellowed in his old age and Bernstein

is feisty as ever! ;)

[FatDave]

11. What night were they on TDS?

I missed that one, sounds like it was good.

[spuddonna]

12. uhhh...lemme look...

Whoa, it was from last year... 7/18/05...

[FatDave]

13. Doh!

Thanks for the info though.

3. sure is and he rocks!

"We do not know if this is worse than Watergate"

[LiberalinNC]

6. I don't think Woodward "likes" what Bernstein is saying.

:evilgrin:

[tsuki]

9. They were always the odd couple. n/t

[BuyingThyme]

18. Nope.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Good!

He knows he's guilty!

[stepnw1f]

4. Excellent (nt)

[Pithy Cherub]

10. Is this the start of Baghdad Bob Woodward's Rehabilitation Tour?

:shrug: I hear him talking about his soon to be released book. Hope it was fact checked...:puke:

[SeattleGirl]

14. Bernstein was great on Larry King

His questions was right on the money and to the point. Bottom line: Why not tell the truth?

(Okay, okay, I'm referring to Chimpy McCokespoon and his administration, but it's still a valid question).

[Postman]

15. Woodward is a shill for Bush. Screw him and his ficticious books.

sac o' shit liar.

[upi402]

20. Woodward CIA?

I heard on Faux News...

[meisje]

16. They can't handle the truth!

[upi402]

19. Jack, is that you Jack?

[FreedomAngel82]

21. They can't tell the truth

Don't forget Valerie Wilson!

[blitzen]

23. He's totally telling it like it is....railing against the Plutocracy

meanwhile, Woodward looks more than a little embarrassed

[OneBlueSky]

24. I've been preaching this for months, but to no avail . . .

only the truth will set us free . . . but thus far there isn't a single American "leader" of significant stature who is willing to stand up and tell the truth . . . about everything . . . guess they're all too scared of BushCo and the inevitable repercussions if they speak out . . . and that's a damned shame . . .

I continue to believe that THE central plank of the Democratic platform in coming elections MUST be "Telling the Truth" . . .

unfortunately, it'll never happen . . .

[tblue37]

28. Rep. Conyers does.

In the current Harper's, Lewis Lapham's essay on the need for impeachment quotes Conyers as saying why he did the impeachment inquiry even though he knows it won't bear fruit. He said the years from now, when people ask where were you? why didn't anyone do anything? he wants to show that he did do something, and he wants to have all this stuff on record.

But he can shout the truth all he wants. Unless the people actualy get to hear about it, he is shouting into the wind. We know about his hearings because we are here and we look for such information. But most Americans look to the MSM for info, and the MSM isn't covering anyone who tells the truth, or if they do provide coverage, it is in the form of ridicule, like the ridicule Dana Milbank of the Washington Post poured on Conyers' hearings about the election fraud of 2004.

25. because lies, spin and obfuscation

result in a lot more money and power. Adhering to truth often leaves you less wealthy. In our society today being truthful is equated to being a gullible fool. Smart people learn to lie well and use others as pawns in their game. The rise of corporate criminals to power is not an aberration. It is a symptom of our ruthless and exploitative business climate. The Culture of Corruption.

Americans who are being used and abused and lied to on a daily basis--are the only ones who have a stake in "truth."

[Vinca]

26. Their natural instinct is to lie. They are unable to tell the truth. nt

[BlueEyedSon]

27. They have cooked up so many stories and variations, they don't know

the "real" truth anymore. Which really is part of the RW strategy, muddy the waters sufficiently that no one can formulate and defend an opinion.

For example: mixing so much garbage into the "Bush v Kerry war hero" debate that the average Joe would probably make a random choice, or would throw his hands up and say "who knows?"

[glitch]

29. If they told the truth they'd lose ALL their support., down to their 1%

base. Nobody likes looters, not even other looters.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

30. They cover up things because they have things to cover up.

Things that would not stand even the slightest scrutiny.

[stickdog]

31. He's Come Unspun (nt)

[bigtree]

32. Bernstein is like a spouse whose partner (Woodward) is cheating on him

this is the stage that comes years after the breakup.


Woodward is a money grubbing, shill liar. Bernstein is the truth, shining like the rising sun.


I loved that interview Woodward did with the brain dead CIA chief Casey.
