Ridge says Cheney wrong about Lamont victory.

Ridge says Cheney wrong about Lamont victory.
Newsweek, 8/21 issue: “[Responding to Cheney’s claim that Lamont’s victory would encourage ‘al Qaeda types’], former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge bridled at his former colleague’s remark: ‘That may be the way the vice president sees it,’ he sees it, ‘but I don’t see it that way, and I don’t think most Americans see it that way.’”

Again why a guy with less than 19% support amongst Americans thinks he can even open his mouth is unbelievable. If 81% of the population hated you or me, we’d be hiding out in a bunker in Montana under a rock trying to get the country to forget we’re alive.
August 13th, 2006 at 11:20 amRidge doesn’t need to kiss Cheney’s saggy oldman ass anymore.
Heckuva job Ridgie!
Even old Bushco employees know that the wheezing, bloated Darth Cheney, the man who shot defenseless old Harry Whittington in the face with an expensive Italian shotgun after having a liquid lunch is full of shit.

August 13th, 2006 at 11:21 amseems the only ones who support the administration are the current administration types and the sheeple at their teets
August 13th, 2006 at 11:22 amHow much longer will the Bush Cabal milk the terror cow?
Shooting at lawyers encourages al-queda types too.
August 13th, 2006 at 11:40 amWait a minute! Hold on! Ridge is disputing that which Kristol said was “indisputably correct.”
Now who are you going to trust, a disgruntled former employee of the Bush Administration who obviously has an axe to grind, or the upstanding unbiased views of the Editor of the Weekly Standard?
After all, “Before starting The Weekly Standard in 1995, Mr. Kristol led the Project for the Republican Future, where he helped shape the strategy that produced the 1994 Republican congressional victory. Prior to that, Mr. Kristol served as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle during the Bush administration and to Secretary of Education William Bennett under President Reagan.”
Obviously, Mr. Kristol knows more about national security than a former head of the Department of Homeland Security.
[sarcasm off]
August 13th, 2006 at 11:41 amThe question is not whether or not that Cheney is wrong. THE question is IF Cheney is EVER right about ANYTHING?
August 13th, 2006 at 11:49 amI love the smell of republiscum fear in the morning….it smells like….Victory!
August 13th, 2006 at 11:54 amNot that Tom Ridge ever played politics with terrorism:
“We don’t do politics in the Department of Homeland Security.”
…Tom Ridge, August 3, 2004.
“We must understand that the kind of information available to us today is the result of the President’s leadership in the war against terror.”
August 13th, 2006 at 11:58 am…Tom Ridge, August 1, 2004.

A police training video showed high-ranking Broward deputies laughing about shooting rubber bullets at a Coral Gables attorney at the free- trade summit in Miami.
Watch the videos. They are damning.

Comment by Zooey
They will send the switfboaters after him first, if that fails………
August 13th, 2006 at 12:11 pmWell for once Ridge speaks the truth, but remember he NO longer runs Homeland Security Department, NOR is he controlled by the Bush Regime any longer!
August 13th, 2006 at 12:12 pmYes Wayne the GOP agents will now try to swiftboat Ridge, or get him to recant what he said!
August 13th, 2006 at 12:15 pmNOR is he controlled by the Bush Regime any longer!
Comment by Jay Randal
On election day, he’ll vote Republican — no matter who’s running.
August 13th, 2006 at 12:15 pmbein president of america and a group of middle eastern terrorists at the same time is just like bein a double knot spy! — George W Bush, double knot spy
August 13th, 2006 at 12:18 pmTom Ridge is a Northern Republican, i.e., the kind that didn’t get elected on “values.” There’s hope for him yet.
August 13th, 2006 at 12:26 pmZooey > Ridge is a Republican so he will vote that way for sure, but it is brave of him to challenge Cheney > who we all know has a nasty temper and seeks revenge on those who counter his proclamations! When Ridge ran the Homeland Security Department it was rumoured by some that he is a cross-dresser, like Hoover of the FBI had been, so they might try to smear him that way, or if they have proof meaning pics, then he will probably instantly shut up!

August 13th, 2006 at 12:36 pmJay,
My real point was the “no matter who’s running” part. These people are mindless….
August 13th, 2006 at 12:42 pmDick Cheney is only an angry old man because he is frustrated that the world does not understand that Iraqi oil is HIS–ALL HIS!!
August 13th, 2006 at 12:47 pmYou know who’s Cheney’s real hero???? AL CAPONE. I swear, I saw the movie the Untouchables last night for the first time, and Cheney is AL CAPONE -
August 13th, 2006 at 12:50 pmThe midterm elections are looming, and the well of issues the GOP can draw from to save their majority status is just about empty.

August 13th, 2006 at 1:01 pmExcellent article, madashell, thanks.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:06 pmHow did Ridge color-code Cheney’s comments?
August 13th, 2006 at 1:20 pmJay, Zooey, my pleasure. And I would like to thank the both of you for watching my back sometimes against the “insurgents” who pollute this site.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:22 pmAnytime, madashell. I think you for your passion and compassion.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:24 pmWe are inching ever so closer to resurrecting the Dark Ages…..
August 13th, 2006 at 1:29 pmI’m curious, madashell, what do you think will finally be the tipping point for the sheeple?
August 13th, 2006 at 1:31 pmThis is off topic, but the Hillary Clinton bust was unvelied last week at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan.

August 13th, 2006 at 1:31 pmZooey, I so wish I knew. The religious factor in this country is downright FRIGHTENING, and I really have no clue as to how to stop it. How can anyone possibly change the mind of nonthinkers? Those who let their pastors tell them what to think.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:34 pmmadashell, I wish I knew, too. These are frightening times.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:36 pmBetty35,
At least Hillary looks like a woman from the neck down. :}
August 13th, 2006 at 1:38 pmThe “religious factor” like “conservatives” in the US have been sold down the river by the NeoCons running the country. They made promises to these groups they had no intention of keeping–all the Neocons wanted was religious and conservative votes. What have they done for these groups? Bush’s veto stem cell research is about all I can come up with. Smaller government? Less intrusive government? Responsible fiscal policies? Reduce spending and debt? The GOP has invested a lot in issues like gay marriage and flag burning, but the ONLY ISSUE in November will be Bush’s failed policy in Iraq. Just ask Joe Lieberman.

August 13th, 2006 at 1:44 pmI don’t know if this has been posted on any of today’s threads yet, but has anyone seen the story that Britain wanted to monitor the suspects in the terror plot for another week, yet the U.S. pressured them to move in and arrest them earlier? They said a spokesman from the State Dept. denied any involvement.
There is a thread on crooksandliars.com about this. I saw it on MSNBC this morning, and while no one yet knows why we pressured them, speculation is that the U.S. was “nervous” and didn’t want to take any chances with another 9/11 happening.
Hmmmmm. What was it we were talking about regarding the timing of the announcment in regards to last week’s election…?
August 13th, 2006 at 1:44 pmAt least Hillary looks like a woman from the neck down.
hehehe. She happens to be an attractive woman, but she’s just wrong on the issues. She’s the pro-war, pro-corporate candidate in the race for the Democratic nomination for senate. We can do better…John Tasini.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:45 pmWC - Here is an excellent editorial about this very issue: If you can’t see that they are traitors in the White House, then you are risking your own lives and the lives of your families.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:46 pmSpeaking of MSNBC, they reported a new poll that shows Bush received a 3 point boost in the percentage of folks who say he’s doing a good job on the War on Terror. They said that this week’s arrests in Britain helped him. Never mind that Bush had nothing to do with that.
August 13th, 2006 at 1:46 pmWhat, suddlenly after all these years Tom Ridge found a scruple!?
August 13th, 2006 at 2:11 pmi also recently heard tom ridge speak against the administration regarding the threat level system (his color-coded thing). that he fought with them about when to use it and when it was abused, basically making it the joke it has become. they would raise it on little to no evidence, and when he tried to fight it he was simply overruled.
August 13th, 2006 at 2:15 pmhe best stay out of little planes.

Comment by just some girl
Yeah, If you look, the pattern is that if any person in the administration, military or any government job even suggests a different idea, they are booted and then quickly swiftboated if they dare to speak out.
Funny none of the 30 percenters have never caught on to that. But it takes intellegence to process things logically.

The Republican Party has been reduced to the party of Fear and Smear.
They have only three issues left: Terrorism, Gay Marriage and Abortion.
All three rest on the foundation of Ignornace. Fear, intolerance and prejudice are all born of Ignorance.
A word of caution is warranted, however. When the Party can no longer stay in power using Fear and Smear, the only tool it will have left is brute force. And the Party in Power has access to weapons of mass destruction.

August 13th, 2006 at 2:48 pmSeems to me Ridge knows which way the wind is blowing. And he is also right about this, even if it is purely coincidental.
August 13th, 2006 at 3:30 pmWell CNN just announced that airline passengers can take hard lipstick onboard their carry on bags, but I guess the paint on lipstick is still banned, and containers of applesauce are still taboo > lol.
August 13th, 2006 at 3:41 pmI wonder if this means airlines will stop having drink service? “Welcome passengers, for your convenience, we will be offering a complementary selection of dehydrated punch powders for you to lick…”
August 13th, 2006 at 3:44 pmagio > the airlines would love to serve nothing to average people > would save them lots of money to not serve drinks and the tiny packet of peanuts too! Airlines do love wealthy customers, so that is why in first class they will give you lots of booze and food > lol.
August 13th, 2006 at 4:00 pmThis week’s revelations surrounding the UK terror plot targeting U.S. bound airliners once again focused attention on the phenomenon of “homegrown terrorism.”
Commentators of all political stripes, however, are too quick to draw conclusions about the comparative dangers of radical Islam within European and American Muslim communities. Predictably, conservatives use terror plots in England, clashes in France, train bombings in Spain and cartoon outrage in Denmark to attack the economic stagnation and social rigidity of Europe, while lauding the opportunity and equality of American society. In turn, liberals see multi-culturalism, affirmative action and group politics as a safety valve that provides American minorities political expression, electoral muscle and social standing missing in Europe.
The reality is much more complicated than that, defying such facile comparisons and ready morality plays. For why, see:
“Homegrown Terrorism in the U.S. and Europe.”
August 13th, 2006 at 4:02 pmAMERICANS WAKE UP!!
THE VERY FACT THAT THE BUSH ADMIN. POLITICIZE THE WAR ON TERROR SHOWS THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS!! CHENEY’S COMMENTS ARE DISASTORIOUS AND SELF SERVING. IT IS NOT HIS JOB TO SPECULATE WHAT THE TERRORSIST WANT AMERICANS TO THINK. THEY ARE EASILY DISTRACTED FROM THE TASKS AT HAND, HENCE IRAQ. THEY ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH THEIR NEO-CON NEW AMERICAN CENTURY VIEWPOINT THEN THE WAR ON TERROR. THESE ARE NOT SMART COOKIES, ONLY GREEDY EVIL MANIPULATIVE PEOPLE.
August 13th, 2006 at 4:24 pmTom Ridge is one of the smartest idiots the neocons ever reared!
August 13th, 2006 at 4:28 pmNow Mr. Ridge can see what a truly evil bastard Dick Cheney really is.
August 13th, 2006 at 4:42 pmRed Wolf - It’s okay to have an incredibly small penis. You don’t have to be so angry about it… it’s not your fault!
If you just stop being such a hate filled prick bastard you’ll be able to some day find someone to love you. Of course it may be a hunched back bearded circus freak… but hey its still love right?
Doesn’t that sound nice… having somebody love you… not being such a hate filled prick bastard?
Yeah that does sound nice doesn’t it?
August 13th, 2006 at 4:55 pmdixie blood - thanks for the list, but I wouldn’t put so much effort into thinking about these trolls. Stick to discussing the issues. The trolls say those things for numerous reasons whether it’s their insanity, the insanity of the GOP, argumentative for the sake of being argumentative, narrow mindedness or because they need attention in the worst way. My response is usually just laughing at them because they are truly funny.
August 13th, 2006 at 5:06 pmThanks Dixie (59) although the list might be somewhat repetitive. Some “trolls” have the same semantic style which gives rise to the impression that it is the same person using different names.
But like cockroaches, the trolls seem to scurry whenever the light of truth is shown upon their inane arguments.
I stopped getting angry long ago. I merely use the trolls to hone my own debating skills.

August 13th, 2006 at 5:32 pmThe new Republinazi talking point is “anyone against the Iraq war is a terrorist”.
It won’t be long now before they try to lock up 60% of the country, and they’re going to have a tough time.
These Republinazis have clearly gone off the deep end and are psychotic now.
August 13th, 2006 at 5:39 pmWho is this “Left” that the trolls keep foaming at the mouth over? Do the Dixie Chicks and Micheal Moore really have that much influence over US policy? I guess I’d be that mad and frustrated if all I had to bring to the table was Ken Mehlman talking points and failed Bush poliicy.

August 13th, 2006 at 6:23 pmThank you. I do my best to help when I can.
But the shadows are where the formidible opponent lies. For in the darkness he has become a master-debater. From his mouth he ejaculates his poison, his ‘talking points’ which flow forth and inseminate his followers who spread it as a farmer flings dung onto his field. But in the light of day, the farmer can discern between the weeds and the flowers. Though the weeds thrive on the dung, the farmer will pluck them out and they will be tossed into the fire where their ashes will be carried upon the winds. Yes, even the weeds, when transformed by the fire, will help bring forth new life upon the land. For a weed may yet dream of someday becoming a beautiful flower.
August 13th, 2006 at 6:29 pmThe “left” are those people that see fascism, know it’s fascism, and call it fascism. The remaining 30% are the fascists. In this case.
August 13th, 2006 at 6:29 pmDonations to the Democratic party need to be earmarked for non-election year prime time PSAs.

Comment by GSD
Just to make a comment about the “left” in US. There is none. What we have is ultra-right and moderates. There is no left in the US. Wheres the communist party in a plural, democratic, society like US? Where are the socialists? The last ones were hanged and are known as The Chicago Martyrs.
August 13th, 2006 at 7:56 pmWow! Who is this Red Wolf troll? The only question is does he get paid by the hour or does he get a salary?
August 13th, 2006 at 8:00 pmAfter all, “Before starting The Weekly Standard in 1995, Mr. Kristol led the Project for the Republican Future, where he helped shape the strategy that produced the 1994 Republican congressional victory. Prior to that, Mr. Kristol served as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle during the Bush administration and to Secretary of Education William Bennett under President Reagan.â€
That explains it alll… anyone that would be willing to report to the little chicken Dan Quayle has no brain at all. And Kristol is a traitor - producing the “Contract ON America.
August 13th, 2006 at 8:25 pmDon’t forget, Ridge was a candidate being bandied around as Bush’s possible VP selection until Cheney made the decision it would be Cheney. Of all the people Ridge might want to shiv publicly, Cheney might be the top choice.

August 13th, 2006 at 10:43 pmHersh has confirmed what many had suspected.
August 13th, 2006 at 11:39 pmIf somebody asks you what % of the American public are completely batshit insane, I tell them to check Cheney’s approval rating.
August 14th, 2006 at 12:54 amHersh is telling the truth that Cheney planned the attack on Lebanon with PM Olmert! Hezbollah capturing 2 Israeli soldiers was just a pretext to carry out their devious plan!
August 14th, 2006 at 1:37 amThe Lebanon assault was an experiment to try to determine how Iranian Revolutionary Guards will fight, since they trained the Hezbollah fighters, so the attack on Iran before the November elections is still in operation! Cheney and Rumsfeld must be removed from power, before they attack Iran, and ignite global WWIII and nuclear armageddon!
when you live in a country where “socialism” is still a bad word, your left just ain’t that radical. sorry to disappoint you whackjobs - america’s center is well to the right of the rest of the first world.
the uber-repubs need to get a clue. strong conservatives (like my father, who will be voting democratic this november!) have lost patience with the radical christian, legislate morality, goad with fear wing of the republican party.
and whether the reich-wingers want to admit it or not, the world has never been under a greater threat than fascist germany of wwii. not from communism, not from terrorism. nope - it’s the far right that will always have designs on world domination, and we’re seeing it yet again.

August 14th, 2006 at 3:07 amHere is a great quote from Sen. Kennedy’s article in the Hartford Courant:
August 14th, 2006 at 5:30 am“Cheney and his crowd are all for free and open elections - as long as they turn out their way. They are all for free speech - provided it supports the administration. They are all for the rule of law - as long as the law does not prevent them from doing whatever they want to do. When elections, speeches or laws are inconvenient, he does not hesitate to declare that they are helping the terrorists. I can think of no graver offense against our democracy.”
Speaking of terrorists, according to Paul Krugman, George Bush and his administration are the terrorist’s best friends for helping to spread the terror.
He got flamed for making such cyncical comments a while back. So how does he respond? By making them again. Ya gotta love this guy.
August 14th, 2006 at 7:21 amMahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has started a blog.

In his first entry Ahmadinejad wrote about his childhood, the country’s Islamic revolution and Iran’s war with Iraq.
The blog also asks readers to participate in an online poll which asks if they think the United States and Israel are “pulling the trigger for another world war”.
The blog is translated into English, French and Arabic.

Comment by Tobey Tall
Toby, that link isn’t working for me. Maybe the government is blocking it. Besides, how do I know that if I check it out or blog there, the CIA someone won’t accuse me of being a terrorist sympathizer or plot-planner and ship my butt off to Gitmo?
August 14th, 2006 at 8:52 amI really don’t feel comfortable with the “Troll List”. Are these folks really our enemies? Or are they just douchebags? Putting someone’s name on a list seems to be a form of oppression and or intimidation, which we all should be fighting against.
I find Mighty Aphrodite to be a smarmy little tool, but putting her and others on a “list” just doesn’t seem right.
Let these folks have their say. Meanwhile, let’s work on the TRUTH and VOTE the current DOUCHEBAGS out of office and send shrubbie back to clearing brush.
August 14th, 2006 at 9:07 amDon’t worry, by posting here you have already identified yourself as a terrorist sympathizer in some people’s eyes.
The link didn’t work for me either.
August 14th, 2006 at 9:32 am95 numfar
August 14th, 2006 at 9:42 amI don’t see the “Troll List” as either intimidation or oppression. I see it as information, letting new posters know what they can expect if they try to engage these trolls in a reasonable dialogue. In no way does this limit the trolls from posting or anyone from responding.
Instead of coming up with a list of so-called trolls, why doesn’t Think Progress just go to George Soros and ask for a million or two to add security to the site. That way the editors could lock out any comment that was too far to the right. In reality, Think Progress must want the interaction from those on the right otherwise they would have done this already or George has cut you guys off.
August 14th, 2006 at 10:01 amChecking out the Iranian leader’s blog probably would be unwise > I bet anybody who does so gets listed by the CIA as an al Queda agent > remember Tony Blair in UK uses any excuse to arrest people as Islamic terrorists, so Dubya Dunce Decider may do the same!
August 14th, 2006 at 10:53 amMany of these comments are grimly humorous and we certainly enjoy them. However, remember, Cheney is the real “president” and his itchy finger is not only on the trigger of a shotgun, but also on the world’s most powerful, deadly, mankind destroying atomic button. Cheney, as I’m sure you know, fronts for the world’s wealthy elite mafia that wants alsolute control of all the earth’s resources. So, while humor is great, never forget we are fighting the deadliest enemy of all time right here in our own front yard. So take your intelligence, your humor, and your zeal and mount a peaceful reform. Donsue
August 14th, 2006 at 12:34 pm[…] is going to lose his party hat if he keeps up with this kind of talk although they let him keep it after he suggested that the adminstration’s reasons for raising the terror threat level were politically motivated. Seems the Bushies have two policies when critisism of their actions are called into question, Democrats=attack, Republicans=ignore and it will go away […]
