State Dept’s media affairs director speaks out.
State Dept’s media affairs director speaks out.
Until recently, Price Floyd was director of media affairs at the State Department. He has now written an op-ed about the difficulties of trying to sell the Bush administration’s policies to the public:
We have eroded not only the good will of the post-9-11 days but also any residual appreciation from the countries we supported during the Cold War. This is due to several actions taken by the Bush administration, including pulling out of the Kyoto Protocol (environment), refusing to take part in the International Criminal Court (rule of law), and pulling out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (arms control). The prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib and the continuing controversy over the detainees in Guantanamo also sullied the image of America.
Collectively, these actions have sent an unequivocal message: The U.S. does not want to be a collaborative partner. That is the policy we have been “selling” through our actions, which speak the loudest of all.
As the director of media affairs at State, this is the conundrum that I faced every day. I tried through the traditional domestic media and, for the first time, through the pan-Arab TV and print media — Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, Al Hayat — to reach people in the U.S. and abroad and to convince them that we should not be judged by our actions, only our words. [...]
We need a president who will enable the U.S. to return to its rightful place as the “beacon on a hill” — a country that others want to emulate, not hate; a country that proves through words and deeds that it is free, not afraid.

Unhappy Clintonite..shocking news indeed.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:21 pmDidn’t Kyoto fail to pass the Senate by a vote of 95-0? If so, why should we follow it?
May 29th, 2007 at 3:21 pmto convince them that we should not be judged by our actions, only our words.
That just about sums up Bush’s entire presidency.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:23 pmSo why did you spend all this time saying “I can’t quit you, George”?
You should have resigned years ago, taken a private sector job, and written a book about the corruption of this administration instead of enabling it.
I’m judging YOU by your actions, not your words.

Because it’s the moral and correct thing to do. You wouldn’t understand morals Patrick1, you’re too much of a religious hypocrite.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:24 pmIt is clear that this guy is a Clintonista.
All he spews out is left wing ideology. Kyoto Agreement? would ruin our economy and it doesn’t demand that nations like China or India join in.
International Court, another joke that would allow nations to take our soldiers and put them on trial and be mocked by the world. Not that the left cares.
and the other crap that this idiot talks about is just pure and simple stupidity.
it is well known that 85% of the State Department is full of bleeding Liberal wackos.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:25 pmanit-ballistic missle treaty? ask the Russians what they have developed while supposedly being part of this treaty.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:26 pmWORD UP! Now you supporters of the party line re all things W will find ways to nit-pick with this or that thing mentioned above, but you can’t ignore the fact that W and his crew have essentially told the world to go screw. Thanks for making us safe.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:26 pm… and still you refuse to talk about Hugo Chavez denying free speech by shutting down a tv station and replacing it with a state run media outlet.

May 29th, 2007 at 3:29 pmi wonder if HE has anyone special in mind?
…
“It is well known that…” was a favorite phrase of Stalin’s.
It is well know that Trotskyites are agents of Naziism.
It is well known that the Left SRs are enemies of the people.
Yeah yeah yeah, they’re all liberal ideologues. What other possible reason could people working in the foreign service have for thinking this war was a bad idea, and would end in disaster for us?
Other than “knowing something about how the world works,” I mean.

May 29th, 2007 at 3:31 pmJudge us by our words, not actions?! WTF kind of losing strategy is that. In other words, to the world, and the American people, this administration is all about propaganda and spin, instead of sound foriegn policy or domestic planning. Sorry, to whoever voted for these clowns twice, America will be paying for these 8 years for DECADES.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:32 pm#7 – Leftwingersaremoonbats, #10 – Patrick1,
W withdrew from the treaty, thus voiding it.
Constitutional mustard is something you put on hot dogs.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:32 pmWow, this guy is going to be out of a job soon.
What I found scary was when he said “to convince them that we should not be judged by our actions, only our words. ”
Why in the world would anyone judge you by anything other than your actions. Talk is cheap and means nothing if the actions that follow the words are completely different than the words that were said.
This guy has really hit the nail on the head. Anyone want to take bets on how long he holds on to his job now?

and before W withdrew from the treaty Russia was being good and respecting it, right?
only a retard would believe that Russia was following the treaty before Bush withdrew from it.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:35 pmIt is not surprising that a “media affairs director” would be so full of liberal cliches.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:36 pmPrice Floyd did not mentioned how the media made such a theater of “Shock and Awe” dropping of 4,000 bombs in a 48 hour period, the invasion and massacre of a already war torn third world country, half under the age of 16,…. and called this WAR.
May 29th, 2007 at 3:36 pmAnd how this so called WAR has been crammed down our throats and used to manipulate and scare the hell of populations for political reasons.
Hugo Chavez and private radio. The GOP and NPR. Just cuz Hugo thumbs his nose at El Diablo doesn’t mean we like everything he does. It’s the nuances in life that make it so interesting. But then who am I kidding. Patrick1 and Leftwingersare moonbats and all the others like them, only deal in black and white.

May 29th, 2007 at 3:43 pmTo the brain-dead trolls who have no other argument than to claim that someone who speaks out against BushCo is a “Clintonista”:
Price Floyd was a career State Department official, and he started there in 1990. That’s right. When Bush 41 was President. Oops. There goes another talking point.
What the hell am I saying? Since when did facts ever have anything to do with whether they used a talking point or not?
May 29th, 2007 at 3:44 pmNo shit Sherlock;It’s the Repukes policy “we don’t need no stinking other peoples to help us”.

May 29th, 2007 at 3:49 pmYes, they stood down and destroyed their MRVs, reduced on-alert war heads and did not develop an ABM system. Just the last week or so, they did their first MRV test in response to W’s actions with ABM’s.
Wow, this must of struck a chord – trolls are out in force on this one
May 29th, 2007 at 3:51 pmAll he spews out is left wing ideology. Kyoto Agreement? would ruin our economy and it doesn’t demand that nations like China or India join in.
I would rather make the middle east economies suffer by producing some ethanol. …. 2006 closed with no fewer than 73 biorefineries under construction and 8 expanding that will add 6 billion gallons of new production capacity by 2009.
Ethanol is not ruining our economy.

It has got to be one of these points:
1. They are very stupid
2. Paid by the republican money machine to post here
3. They are very worried about a dem take over as they know ALL will then have to pay their fair share in taxes.
4. They are very worried about universal health care, as every other democratized country has, if the right dems get in. They fear their health care may be compromised and if health care remains with no change, the middle class will continue to shrink benefiting them.

I have to disagree with this point. I can’t imagine that any of our trolls make enough to actually risk paying more in taxes. They’re probably all paid minimum wage, maybe less. With their obvious level of language skills, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that several of them don’t use English as their native tongue.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmSounds like an endorsement of Fred Thompson.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:01 pmI see the trolls are out in force today.
Every time they post, they just show what inbred redneck Repukes they are.
They support a morally bankrupt regime that is run by a chimp.
They support torture, treason, lying to start wars, and corruption.
Repuke trolls have nothing to say in here. Ignore their ranting.

May 29th, 2007 at 4:03 pm#21 Without consulting rightwing sites, layout the evidence of these charges you level against Russia. here is your forum, I am asking you to convince me of your hypothesis…go for it.
Did you know that prior to GWB the US was ion the process of dismantling the Former Soviet Union’s Nuclear missile force? Did you know that prior to GWB the US was keeping former Soviet scientists busy and paid? You know why we did this? 1) to keep the scientists from working for those who mean to harm us. If they are not desperate for money to live on they will feel less of a need to sell their services. and 2) to ensure that old out of treaty missiles were properly dismantled and disposed of, again so we could keep track of the missile parts, technology and nuclear material to insure that it did not fall into the hands of those who would do us harm. Did you know that this administration completely crippled that program? Did you also know that our intelligence agencies, before they were crippled by the administration, were uniformly of the opinion that terrorists best chance of gaining nuke weapons & technology was from the former soviet union, where the government was not functioning so well. Put two and two together and you see that this adminsitraion actually increased the possibility that terrorists could obtain a black market nuke through their policies (maybe they already have). Annd this was long before 911 so once again I would like to note that this adminsitration has been, is and always will be iincompetant on terrorism.
#35 t has everything to do with criticizing he dear leader.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:03 pmthis was a brilliant statement indeed…
we should not be above laws, even international ones… and this “because they’re not doing it” rationale for Kyoto I just can’t swallow… it’s like refusing to quit smoking because others around you won’t… do others have to do right in order for you to agree to do right? that’s not the high road, which is something our country hasn’t taken since Bush has been in office…
May 29th, 2007 at 4:05 pmChimpy has been a complete and utter failure at everything he has done since January 2001.
He has wrecked our reputation in the world, started another Cold War, started a global war on terrorism that we will never win, lied to invade Iraq, okayed torture, allowed treason in the White House, sold off the federal government to corporate interests, and generally has been the worst president in the history of the US.
Anybody who still supports Chimpy is a brain-dead piece of crap.

As we’ve explained to you several times alreay, the reason so many of us are “beggin for an answer” is that you made a claim and have not been able to back it up. I pointed out that I had already posted the Ten Commandments on the last thread, so research isn’t an issue. A “free education” isn’t an issue. The issue is your statement that you have yet to back up. We are all familiar with the Ten Commandments, we just don’t see which one makes your claim. Help us out.

I’d ask if you were serious, but your previous history of comments here settles that question (No, you’re not serious).
So you admit ignoring the question, but then blame me for asking it. Interesting… see, asking questions is how I learn things. How do you usually learn things? Oh, I forgot — you’re a righ-winger (first clue: calling onesself “Leftwingersaremoonbats”) so you generally try not to learn anything if it’s going to upset the precariously balanced applecart of your worldview.
So… are you a Christian?
Seems to me like anyone who knew as much about Christianity as you pretend to, would at least think of themselves as Christian. And one who thought of onesself as Christian would certainly be proud of it. Why are you ashamed of your faith, LaMB?

I’d ask if you were serious, but your previous history of comments here settles that question (No, you’re not serious).
So you admit ignoring the question, but then blame me for asking it. Interesting… see, asking questions is how I learn things. How do you usually learn things? Oh, I forgot — you’re a righ-winger (first clue: calling onesself “Leftwingersaremoonbatsâ€) so you generally try not to learn anything if it’s going to upset the precariously balanced applecart of your worldview.
So… are you a Christian?
Seems to me like anyone who knew as much about Christianity as you pretend to, would at least think of themselves as Christian. And one who thought of onesself as Christian would certainly be proud of it. Why are you ashamed of your faith, LaMB?

So are you implying that I am a Christian? and you believe that anyone that knows a lot about a religion belongs to that religion? wow! and I thought you couldn’t be any dumber.
kRank, do yourself a favor and shut up guy, you aren’t doing any favors to the left wing. If you are the best the left wing has, they are in quite a lot of trouble.
you come accross as quite the ignorant fool.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:47 pmWho the hell cares if rape is forbidden in the 10 commandments. You don’t need some crackpot 1900 year old text to tell you that rape is wrong. Shit what a stupid discussion.

Yikes,
don’t look at me, it is the left wing moonbats that are desperate, I mean really desperate and beggin for me to answer this question.
Yes, stupid discussion coming from stupid left wingers, you are right.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:48 pmLeftwingersaremoonbats, STFU.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:51 pmThe folks that enabled King George are coming out of the woodwork now that the political climate is not so kind to the Republicans.
Where were these people when they could have made a difference? Everyone of them enabled King George to ruin (temporarily I trust) our country and all that it used to stand for.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:51 pmYikes,

ValiantTheBraindeadHater rises again… Yawnnn…. You are so last century – wingnut…
Desperate? You mean like so *desperate* that you spend your days on a “liberal” website? Sorry *child*, but you’re the *poster-child* for *desperate*. Get a life, or a game console – because your posts are PATHETIC and BORING!!!! Zzzzzzz….

Oh, dear *st*pid* wingnut, you and your Valiant Ben Venus counterpart only ever *claim* to be religious. It’s a term used to escape criticism for your very *immoral* opinions….

Ah, pure projection. Tell me, are you really a *liberal* that’s pretending to be a wingnut? Because it’s hard to imagine how you wingnuts could do any more *damage* to your cause than the posts you put on this site!
you come accross as quite the ignorant fool.

Did you really need to pass along your mother’s comment to this board? Just because she knows you so well, and says that to you every day – repeating it doesn’t make you *smart* child – it makes you sad, pathetic, and really the *butt* of your own joke!

So are you implying that I am a Christian?
Jesus Christ, are you freaking dense. No I am NOT implying that you arer a Christian. I am ASKING if you are a Christian. See the difference?
For some reason you are reluctant to answer. I’m wondering why.
and you believe that anyone that knows a lot about a religion belongs to that religion?.
Of course, if you actually read what I wrote, instead of assuming, then you’d know that this is not what I said. But you don’t care. Anything that moves the discussion away from the original question that you keep ignoring is what you want.
What question was that? Oh, glad you asked. This one:
Are you a Christian?
kRank, do yourself a favor and shut up guy, you aren’t doing any favors to the left wing. If you are the best the left wing has, they are in quite a lot of trouble.
I never claimed to be “the best the left wing has”. Show me where I claimed to be “the best the left wing has” or even “left wing”…
Of course, at least I have the courtesy to answer direct questions…
you come accross as quite the ignorant fool.
Even though you make this assertion with no evidence other than your own invective, huh? Thanks for the heads-up. Your opinion has proven so astute.
But let’s get back to business:
Are you a Christian?

KRank, where the hell did I ask you if you were the best that the left wing has to offer? where did I ask you that, you little ‘tard? as just said, “if”, you know what that means, right, my little ‘tard.
and why are you so desperate to find out whether I am a Christian or not? are you going to contact the left wing authorities and have me thrown in jail if I am? I know, a left wing wet dream, right?

Comment by KRank — May 29, 2007 @ 4:41 pm
Hey kRanky boy, read your first sentence here. You claim that I must be a Christian since I claim to know so much about Christianity. Thus, according to your silly, dumb, left wing biased logic, I am a Christian because I claim to know about a religion.
So, here we have it ladie and gents, if you claim to know a lot about a religion, it means that you must be a member of that religion.
my poor, silly, ‘tard of a friend, did mommy drop you too many times on your head? Or were you thrown accross the room like ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus by your parents after they found out tha tyou were but a silly ‘tard.

and is this really the business? NO! it was all about where do you find in the Bible that rape is wrong.
Not me, stop making everything about me, stop obssesing about me and move along kRank.
get back to your ignorance, yes, in the Bible you can find that rape is wrong.
that Libtards like you are too ignorant to know where to find this, to research, this etc is the real issue at hand.

You objected when I assumed you were a Christian. I acknowledged that you never said you were a Christian. But for some reason, you won’t answer whether you are or not.
And this was shortly after writing this: you kids never answer questions that we ask Ironic, no?
Boy, if it was me, and I had a good answer to a question like that, or the rape one I’d sure give it. it would be nice to shut someone up with a good answer. Maybe you don’t have one.
May 29th, 2007 at 5:37 pmBush has left America with only one way to regain credibility on the international scene. You must deliver he and his cronies to the Hague, in shackles, to face trial for the WAR CRIMES everyone knows they are guilty of.
May 29th, 2007 at 6:19 pmI still don’t understand why Kyoto is always put at the feet of Bush. The Senate in the late 1990’s (note: Bush was still just a governor) voted it down, 95-0. This includes the lion’s share of the Democrats of the time, and was during the Clinton era.
And yet, it’s Bush’s fault. Sheesh, attack the guy for something worthwhile that he’s done — and there’s plenty of fodder there — without resorting to this insanity.
May 29th, 2007 at 6:41 pmHow the hell does the conversation go from propoganda to the 10 comandments so easily???
May 29th, 2007 at 7:48 pmThe problem with anyone but wingers is: We fail to frame & hold the conversation. THAT IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT & IT’S WHY WE ARE GETTING OUR ASSES KICKED WHEN WE HAVE TRUTH ON OUR SIDE.
There is only 1 thing that the wingers have done effectively & that is controlling the message & the conversation. Through the media & even on our own blogs. Every single time the bait gets taken & I guarantee these little Rove-bot college rethuglicans are laughing their asses off at US. Notice how they simply refuse to directly respond??? You can hit a home run w/ the facts & evidence & it simply is ignored.
We really need to observe & take some lessons. With that info. & the truth on our side we will win some actual progress… Peace.

Gotta agree with that.
On a side note, why is State trying to talk to Al-Jazeera when the first thing the US does is blow them out of the hotel wall .. “silly accident” apparently.
May 29th, 2007 at 7:52 pmLink Bait!!! Why link to another blogger when you can link to the direct source? Wait….I get it. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
May 29th, 2007 at 7:59 pmThe problem here is not who Price Floyd is, or even what his agenda may be… the problem is he is telling the truth. look around and you see is his on target about what has happened to the america’s standing in the world under the present administration. One can question Floyd’s motives and allegiances, perhaps even some details in his short statement, etc., but not the truth of what this reckless president has throughout the world during these last few years. Ann Coulter or Jesse Jackson could have mouthed the same words, and it wouldn’t make them less true… it’s so sad.

Anyone that knows as much about Christianity as its early history would not be proud of it, and perhaps not even proud to be a Christian.
