Radio host: Pelosi is ‘lip-locking with king of the terrorists.’

On Fox News today, right-wing radio host Mark Williams attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for her trip to Syria. He said that she was “in Syria lip-locking with the king of terrorists” because Democrats have failed to recognize that we “have been attacked by a seventh-century death cult known as Islam.” Watch it:

[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/04/radiosyriafox.320.240.flv]

Yesterday, CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux asked Imad Moustapha, Syrian ambassador to the United States, why anyone should “see” Pelosi’s trip as “any more [than] a political stunt here, a publicity stunt, a big wet kiss to [Syrian] President [Bashar] Al-Assad?”

    This is what democrats get for providing cover for FOX when they guest on FOX.
    No democrats? No FOX.


  2. Democrat Soldier says:

    Republican Darrell Issa is giving a big kiss to [Syrian] President [Bashar] Al-Assad?

    And here I thought that all Republicans were anti-gay.


  3. ohboy says:

    The CIA is a 7th century death cult? wowzers


  4. whiteyfresh says:

    AGAIN-THE ONLY ONE WHO SEEMS TO HAVE DOCUMENTED(PHOTO )EVIDENCE OF ‘LIP LOCKING’ WITH ABAB MEN IS BUSH!~!!!!

    grrrrrrrrr..


  5. Jake says:

    Issa wouldn’t have gone if the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE had not broken the embargo.


  6. Republicans are the fear and smear party says:

    And this outrageous claim is done under the guise of “news.” What a sad statement on news in America.


  7. katy says:

    their hypocrisy know no bounds…
    anything goes… evidently… disgusting…


  8. Jake says:

    Very funny, whiteyfresh! I asked someone on the other Pelosi thread, when did Newt Gingrich ever go overseas to meet with the enemy against the wishes of the Clinton White House?


  9. whiteyfresh says:

    embargo Jake? Bush said “NEENER NEENER I ain’t talkin to you” It only makes sense for rational people to talk o Syria. Plus, didn’t Reduds meet with Syria,like, a week ago??


  10. David O. says:

    CONTURDS, Republi-SCUM- you are pathetic; you SUCK.


  11. ForTruth says:

    Newt Gingrich is irrelavant. How about the other GOPers kissing assess in Damascus?


  12. helenahandbasket says:

    Desperate righties, require desperate talking points. See you losers in 2008.


  13. Jake says:

    The closest I could find was “Democrats Attack Gingrich for Meeting Murdoch Before $4.5 Million Book Deal,” now I know that Fox News is YOUR side’s enemy, but he’s no terrorist at least.


  14. ForTruth says:

    Could someone please explain the difference between Pelosi’s trip and the GOPers trip to Sryia?


  15. whiteyfresh says:

    Hastert(or someone for him)went to Columbia before Clinton sent a team of negotiators(i believe in 96 or 97), and told them that they needed to speak DIRECTLY with the COngress, not the president.Maybe it was Hastert you were thinking of??


  16. helenahandbasket says:

    Faux news has “wet kissing” fascism since its inception.


  17. Wayne says:

    Comment by Jake

    There was another Republican delegation BEFORE Pelosi.
    They broke the “embargo” not Pelosi.
    Liar. Hypocrite.


  18. Spudge_Boy says:

    Boy, republicans are desperately trying to create a scandal to take the lime light off of the 753 scandals they have going. Good job republicans. You will always be known as the scandal party. Just keep the same corrupt people in power and don’t clean up your house. You make my job easier by backing these criminals.

    Just sayin’


  20. Jake says:

    P.S. — the “war” on drugs doesn’t count. I’m talking about REAL enemies.

    in MY mind, pelosi’s visit was more meaningful and helpful and hopeful…
    afterall, she has the power…


  22. Ovrdrv99 says:

    Jake,

    What’s the matter? Has the Democratic Party shown up your boyz and proved that you CAN negotiate? Might make it hard for teh NeoCons now to whine about all the big bad Mid-East bullies trying to destroy Isreal, huh?



  23. Keith H. says:

    What is on fox newz ?
    The Enquirer Readers want to know .


  24. KRank says:

    Jesus H. Christ on a Popsicle stick! Can the MSM get any more shrill and sheeplike?

    PS Please don’t feed the trolls.


  25. Jackie Rawlings says:

    Let’s see three Republicans go to Syria before Pelosi nothings said or reported. These three were sent to make sure the President of Syria didn’t tell secrets of money and torture by the Bush Administration. Attack Pelosi visit by Bush news media. Issa goes to Syria right after Pelosi’s visit to check on what was said during Pelosi’s meeting as he will carry the information back to Bush/Cheney. Plus what was Waxman up to during the visit.
    Karl Rove is so stupid it’s scary. The leaders of the Middle East are smarter then the make believe idiots in Washington. Issa did a good job at stopping the DOJ lawyer from indicting Jerry Lewis now he’s off trying to trick the Syria President as if the President hasn’t read the US news.
    Issa is lying to the President’s face as he works hard for the White House.
    The Middle East leaders see just how scared and stupid the GOP and White House are. Now Fox aka Bush news has a job to do by spinning the story away from the facts. Fox news is attacking Nancy but the person with the information to bring down the White House aka Dick Cheney is Waxman. Karl Rove might be the next American Idol in jail as he can call himself MC Rove and hope no one wants him as their girlfriend.


  26. Jake says:

    My “boyz” are in the American Independent party. Better be careful trashing Israel though. I’m thinking about switching to this party:

  27. Republicans are the fear and smear party says:

    Since Faux “News” is “fair and balanced” Mark Williams should be asking why we should see republican Darrell Issa’s trip as “any more [than] a political stunt here, a publicity stunt, a big wet kiss to President Al-Assad?”

  29. Joe Sixpack says:

    One of my favorite petty amusements – take any blatantly hypocritical right-wing talking point and replace the Dem target with the appropriate Repug – in this case we get:

    “Yesterday, CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux asked Imad Moustapha, Syrian ambassador to the United States, why anyone should “see” Darrell Issa’s trip as “any more [than] a political stunt here, a publicity stunt, a big wet kiss to [Syrian] President [Bashar] Al-Assad?”

    OK, back to work… :)


  30. Jake says:

    That was weird — the post trashing Israel was deleted — way to go, TP!

    #29,

    That happens here a lot.

    It’s going to get to the point where the only people watching Fox News are staffers at Think Progress and Media Matters.


  35. GSD says:

    Ah yes. The Mark Foley Party must be repelled at Nancy Pelosi’s womanly charms and attibutes.

    Envy is a sin ye Republican Christians.

    Yeah. And the way she upstaged Condi and George’s diplomacy is just friggin’ out of line. I mean, the administration had the Syrians on the ropes and right where they wanted them. And the way she outshined all the Republican who visited Syria both the day before and the day after she left.

    And how do you think McCain felt? Trying to get in a photo op in a Baghdad market while she upstages him like that. I mean, people probably thought he was a complete idiot, down there shopping for rugs with Lindsay Graham instead of meeting with world leaders.

    Perhaps Pelosi should think about running for president. At least she is showing some guts and not afraid to try some new ideas that might save some lives.


  37. worst fears says:

    as christians it is really stupid to call anyone else a death cult. Hello idiot… easter is coming.


  38. big papa says:

    Serves her right…

    …she’s getting lambasted by the TREASONOUS Bushite right wing inbreds…

    …and what does she do?

    …holds a press conference in which she tells the Syrians…

    (paraphrasing)- “We Democrats have basically the SAME foreign policy as our (LOSER in chief) Bushiva”…

    …the Syrian people have responded to her visit as…

    …”A waste”…

    …How STUPID can you get?

    …haven’t YOU PEOPLE learned yet…

    …that ANY connection to or support of Bushiva or l’il Dick’s criminal regime…

    …taints YOU?


  39. whiteyfresh says:

    Jake: Is that in response to COlumbia? What,Warlords killing and exploiting people is irrellivant?

    Maybe Speaker Pelosi can pick up a few rugs for the new rug merchant Huckleberry Graham and his business partner, Novacaine McCain.

    So you too fall for the repugs talking points and like a good soldier put them out there. How funny.
    Jake, I thought you would be packing and getting ready for your trip to Iraq for your ‘war’ by now. What happened?


  43. whiteyfresh says:

    Jake: It’s still there

  45. Ringo says:

    I don’t know about the lip-locking, but the part about Democrats failing to recognize that we “have been attacked by a seventh-century death cult known as Islam”, sound about right.


  46. hellinabucket says:

    No, the drug deaths in this country pale in comparison to the WAR ON TERROR. Besides look at all the good that Bush has done to stomp out drugs in his tenure. Forget about afghanistan’s projection of beating last years record opium crop. ignore the largest cash crop in this country.

    Let’s put our focus on the great big boogey man of TERROR.


  47. Squidbilly says:

    How is Fox going to deal with Rep. Darrell Issa, Republican, meeting with the Syrian President.

    A traitor?… or, just don’t mention it…

    Lame.


  48. big papa says:

    Comment by Ringo #42

    BOO!


  49. Mary Poplins says:

    Iraq did not have WMD. Iraq did not attack us. We went into Iraq for OIL and to make Old Bushies Cronies Richer. This is an illegal war peroid.

    BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW, NOW, NOW.


  50. Perry Logan says:

    Stress tends to exacerbate right-wing mental diseases. What you’re seeing on Fox is extreme and chronic treasonosis, also known as traitoritis. In this mental disorder, absolutely anything the opposition does is perceived as, and called, treason. It’s like a defective CD.


  51. Jake says:

    “What” is still there, whiteyfresh? The “war” on drugs or the post trashing Israel?


  52. Kryptik says:

    Hrm…

    IOKIYAR double standards? – Check

    Generalization of Islam as inherently violent/evil? – Check

    Vapid, baseless charges to smear Democrats? – Check

    Accusations that anything Democrats due is just political bluster? – Check

    More hackery and crappery from Fox News, echoed and almost preceded by the castrated so-called Liberal media. Ridiculous and feckless.


  53. Joe Sixpack says:

    Comment by Ringo

    Um huh. I guess they lack the forsight of the Bush administration. Like how we attacked bin Laden’s “death cult” then left them escape into Pakistan, because we turned 180 degrees and attacked one of the few countries [Iraq] whose leader [Saddam] kept the Iranian Islamist extremists in check, and one of the ONLY countries in the Middle East who did not support radical islam or bin Laden’s murderers.

    You need to get a clue, pal. Under the Republican’s watch, the infidel of the Bush Administration have done the Iranian’s dirty work for them and they have won the power game of the Middle East.


  54. Gary Denton says:

    Because it is FOX NEWS people may be overlooking the bigger picture. The statement we “have been attacked by a seventh-century death cult known as Islam” is so offensive it should lead to boycotts.

    I agree Mr. Denton. And we wonder why so many of them hate us.


  57. pgw says:

    “[Rep.] Pitts and U.S. Reps. Frank Wolfe of Virginia and Robert Aderholt of Alabama met with Assad Sunday to talk about issues in the Middle East three days before Pelosi’s delegation arrived there on a similar mission.”


  58. Zimzone says:

    Suzanne Malveaux is known for giving blow jobs to Fox news ‘reporters’…forget wet kisses.


  59. ForTruth says:

    You have to be really careful about holding Isreal responsible for their role in this global mess here on TP. When the stuff gets deleted, its a testament to the power and influence they have.


  60. firehead says:

    This guy is right. You scumbag libs not only coddle the terrorists, but you seem to be on their side.

    You’re all traitors.


  61. Bob says:

    Let’s see–9/11 terrorists hailed from Saudi Arabia, so anyone going there would be supporting terrorists?

    When Cheney went there to meet with the Saudis what were his lips locked around?


  62. Mugsy says:

    I noticed the accompanying photo from Fox says “eliminate GoT from budget”.

    If I’m not mistaken, the only thing that is changing is that they are dropping the terminology of calling it a “Global War on Terror”. Apparently, to Fox, changing the name and eliminating its budget are the same thing.


  63. Whizz Bang says:

    I don’t think anybody really and truly cares what the GOP jackals say or think anymore. The jackals’ rhetoric continues, but the effect on the public has subsided.

    Even those unfortunate souls who can only regurgitate what The Party Elders spew out (”fair and balanced,” “coddle the terrorists,” “death cult,” and on and on and on) seem to be aware of their own stupidity.

    GOP Jesus says: “Preach hate.”

  67. ForTruth says:

    Kevin,

    I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but some of the Bush kissing pictures are fake, like the one you posted a link to. It’s photoshopped. Don’t make me point out the details of the photo that make it a fake.

    I still hate Bush. Just like the truth.


  68. ForTruth says:

    Yeah firehead, I’m on their side, and I am helping them come for you next.

    AND RACIST CREEP and rightwingnut crank fudge-pachyderm RABID DEMAGOGIC JINGOIST Mark Williams IS LOCKING HIS LIPS ON CHIMPya and Nushland Uber Allies SHIT-COVERED ANUSES!!!! DOES “BROWN” TASTE GOOD, Mark, YOU COWARDLY LITTLE F*CK AND LYING HYPOCRITE???? AW, Suzanne Malveaux, YA WERE TOO LATE WITH YOUR “WET KISS”—Mark Williams ALREADY CLEANED OFF CHIMPya and Bushland Uber Allies’ BESMIRCHED ANUSES!!!!!



  71. TruthinessOverAll says:

    Firehead,

    Tell us again who your mortal enemies are?


  72. Someone Had To Say It… : “7.62mm Justice” â„¢ says:

    [...] and I guess it was Mark Williams turn at bat… On Fox News today, right-wing radio host Mark Williams said that Pelosi was “in Syria [...]


  73. A fan says:

    Here is the rest of what Williams had to say: http://marktalk.com/id18.html

    FYI… he ripped Issa a new one long ago for Issa’s comments that the monkees of Hizbullah were to be commended for their “humanitarian” work. In fact, Williams almost single-handedly ran Issa out of the race for Governor of California when he uncovered more about Issa’s shady mob-like past (a mysterious but well timed fire in a business Issa owned and was doing poorly).

    Hand it to this talk host… if you are a creep he will call you on it.

    FOX should’ve been “redecorated”…

    …and its personnel “collateralized”…

    …eight years ago…


  76. TerrytheTurtle says:

    Did my duty – emailed Suzanne and ripped her a new one…


  77. USA says:

    “in Syria lip-locking with the king of terrorists” because Democrats have failed to recognize that we “have been attacked by a seventh-century death cult known as Islam.”

    Little Mark Williams has no clue what is going on in the world. We were attacked by Islam, Little Mark?….you need to go read some grown up books.


  78. Marlow says:

    If there’s a “death cult” involved here, it’s the “thirty percenters” under the boy king…


  79. fidothedog says:

    Shame on her fawning over an eastern potentate instead of suporting their ally Great Britain re the illegally taken sailors.
