Actually no you weren't talking about politicians, your EXACT quote on it was this:

Notice the bold? Last I checked Republicans did not refer to just politicians. Seems you got caught again lying again and now are backpedaling.

Fact is the quotes I showed DID include Republicans that were questioning the war AFTER it started, I even included the quotes of two senators in there.

Carry on spinning and lying

The facts in the Dixie Chicks case are the following from your source:

Country stations across the United States have pulled the Chicks from playlists following reports that lead singer Natalie Maines said in a concert in London earlier this week that she was "ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

Station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.


These were private stations choosing to do this based on their listener’s perceptions; not politicians or the Republican Party making the case.

I am talking about POLITICIANS who voted FOR the war, then for political gain went on a campaign of ignorance against the Commander and Chief and the troops mission; John Kerry would be exhibit number one.

If Bush had had the support necessary from Democrats as Lieberman had done, one of the FEW honest Democrats in my opinion, support and perceptions for this effort would be entirely different.

It is okay to debate the merits of the Iraq War and argue that it is a BAD idea BEFORE the vote, but after a majority have voted to authorize war and there are boots one the ground and in harms way, those politicians either need to support the effort 100%, or just STFU.

What civilians do is their own business; I am strictly talking about the politicians. I would never personally argue that civilians are unpatriotic when speaking their views and exercising their free speech, but when the politicians do it, it is despicable beyond the pale; my opinion of course.

Do you see the difference?
Yup, thanks for clarifying.

In my recollection, politicians, too, attacked those that opposed the war, but you are correct; different than what we are discussing, here. I would suspect that some politicians that did as you say, probably changed their mind based on how the war was being conducted. This is reasonable, however, to avoid the appearance of hypocrisy, this fact needed to be presented. Also, doing so for political gain is just scummy, no matter who does it.

I don't think TD was lying, here. I think he was implying politicians in his statement.

Well thank you for attempting to DIVINE what I was thinking when I posted this; but YES, I was strictly thinking and talking about POLITICIANS and questioned you even quoting Sean Hannity.

Once again your desperate selective filtering of what you read is evident and illustrative of your ad hominems.

Carry on.

You have no facts to support such BS statements, but do share you sources and I will be happy to either confirm or dispute them.

Carry on; you truly need to get your facts and issues straight, your facts and perceptions are way out of whack.
Here is a link on Desert Fox. I strongly suggest that you read it and learn something. Before you attack someone as ignorant, you should already know WTF it is that you are talking about. The ignorance is now in your court.

Carry on.

Let me give you an idea......


you are in your home and a massive thunderstorm pops up. lightning everywhere, every few seconds.

3 houses within a mile of you have been hit and are on fire.


you hear about this on the news,


do you run screaming from your house into the lightning storm?

7 minutes is a fast response time.



how quickly could you get yourself and an entourage into a car and off premise?


where was the car? was the plane ready?



you are basing your position on such igorance it's laughable. almost as idiotic as the whole palin's daughter crap you spewed.

Seems to me the Secret Service has done a pretty good job over the years, why don't you let them decide how they should respond to events?

Yes, 7 minutes is a fast response time, but Bush remained at Booker School nearly a half hour after learning that America was under attack.

I don't remember ever spewing anything about Palin's daughter. I did argue that Palin's story was unbelieveable. The idea that any woman in her 5th pregnancy, and having prematurely ruptured membranes would wait 10 hours to give a speech, then board a plane to travel 12 hours is insane. No reasonable person would risk giving birth to a special needs baby on a plane, no doctor would approve it, and no thinking person would believe it happened.
