Shuster Rips Neoconservative Ajami For Comparing Scooter Libby To Fallen U.S. Soldiers

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed last month, neoconservative scholar Fouad Ajami compared Scooter Libby to “fallen soldiers” in Iraq. “[Libby] can’t be left behind as a casualty of a war our country had once proudly claimed as its own,” he wrote.

MSNBC’s David Shuster confronted Ajami about this comparison today on Hardball. “Mr. Ajami, do you really believe Mr. Libby is like the 3,600 soldiers killed in Iraq?” he asked. “I don’t need to be lectured on the soldiers killed in Iraq,” Ajami said. “You have to be able to handle metaphors, this really was a metaphor.” Schuster noted, “The word ‘metaphor’ is nowhere in your column.”

Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq war veteran and executive director and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), said of Ajami’s comparison:

I think it’s absurd. It’s a new low and an act of desperation here to defend a man by comparing him to fallen soldiers. … Part of the soldier’s creed is to uphold the Army values and live the Army values. Those values include honor, integrity, and personal courage. They don’t include lying and breaking the law. So I think it’s really an absurd analogy.

Shuster asked Rieckhoff, “If someone was convicted of four felonies, would they even be entitled to serve in the military?” “No, they’d be in a military prison right now.” replied Rieckhoff. Watch it:

During the segment, Shuster repeatedly corrected Ajami’s falsehoods about the Libby case. When Ajami tried to claim that Libby wasn’t a leaker of Plame’s identity, Shuster quickly debunked him, noting that it came out at trial that seven different people in the administration revealed Plame’s identity in a concerted campaign to out her. “Why did Libby lie to the FBI?” Schuster asked. A flummoxed Ajami could only falsely claim, “I don’t know that he did.”

“Would you like to apologize for your position on the Iraq war?” David Shuster asked. “No, not at all, I think it was a noble war,” Ajami responded.

Digg It!

    A noble war? Is that the word he wanted to use?


  2. Rick Duncan says:

    As a combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps with three Iraq tours to date that resulted in a fake hip and a fiberglass skull, I am offended and disgusted that Ajami would compare that lying toby Scooter Libby to the honorable men and women I served with and in some cases watched die.

    This is the lowest of lows.

    I for one, will not stand for this.


  3. valletta says:

    I loved today’s show! I emailed viewerservices@mnsbc.com and hardball@msnbc.com with my glowing review of David Shuster, telling them he is the only mainstreaam reported who actually knows the Plamegate facts! I also said he should have his own show, preferably replacing Tucker Carlson :)

    Also, he had on Milbank, Wasserman Schultz and Froomkin, good smart progressives who have firm grasp of the facts. Rep. Dan Burton? Not so much.

    I suggest others also send emails too


  4. Zappatero says:

    Shuster’d!!!!!


  5. Namtillaku says:

    Double traitor. Has Ajami no shame?


  6. midwestblue says:

    Shuster was great! I’ll take him over Chris Matthews any day!!!


  7. Paul says:

    Mr Ajami’s response to David was that he doesn’t know if Libby lied to the FBI. Excuse me but a judge and a jury convicted Libby of just this. Down is up in the neocons world view. Pathetic.


  8. SuburbanGirl says:

    Unfortunetley, Shuster will be replaced by”The Scooter Report”


  9. shane says:

    Schuster has been getting more and more air time lately. Maybe the msm has decided to start reporting again instead of just reading White House press releases.


  10. --Blue Girl says:

    Neocon scholar? Isn’t that an oxymoron? (I know the moron part is right…)


  11. Mark @ News Corpse says:

    Here’s what Shuster said after leaving Fox:

    “…there wasn’t a tradition or track record of honoring journalistic integrity. I found some reporters at Fox would cut corners or steal information from other sources or in some cases, just make things up. Management would either look the other way or just wouldn’t care to take a closer look.”

    Sounds like someone who was glad to have escaped.


  12. chingebush says:

    A noble war?

    For who? Those who believe themselves part of nobility and don’t suffer the war?

    F*ck the war supporters in the ass until they bleed to death. Or see reason.

    I am betting on the former.

    The claim that some Republicans are breaking ranks over this gives me hope. Maybe they’ll finally sober up and realize what they’ve been doing for the past 6 years. Here’s hoping that Republicans remember that they are the party of Abraham Lincoln and start trying to recover that proud heritage.
    Impeach Bush and Cheney and Save the Constitution.


  15. EvilCornbread says:

    Isn’t it a pretty common turn of phrase to refer to something as a “casualty of war”? Would people be upset if someone said something about Bush’s approval ratings being a casualty of this war, even though that’s — according to the logic of this story — defending Bush’s popularity by comparing it to fallen soldiers?

    Seems like a mountain out of a molehill to me.


  16. LibertyLover says:

    Libby lied to cover up collusion over the outing of a NOC CIA officer in order to punish someone who was intent on exposing the lies about yellowcake uranium that led directly to the decision to go to war in Iraq in which all of those American Soldiers lost their lives, but that many others have profitted monetarily. Libby is Not really soldier material, IMHO.

    great job.. way to give it to em Mr. Shuster. i havent seen somebody with that type of backbone on MSNBC since Imus took Ex-Sen Santorum to task before the 2006 election

    Great, glad Britain foiled an attack, sadly since the war increased the number of terrorists in the world 1000%, we can expect more. You’re right 9-11 changed things, too bad we didn’t fight this battle differently than WWII. BTW you know Britain is pulling all of it’s troops out of the country, sure you shouldn’t be attacking them instead of showing how police work does the job better than military invasions?

    “Seems like a mountain out of a molehill to me.” Um, excuse me? Yes, we all understand metaphors and a “turn of phrase”, but to compare a convicted felon who helped get us into this disaster with the actual soldiers whose lives are shattered is beyond the pale. That ain’t no molehill.

    Replace Matthews with Shuster, hurry!


  24. Zooey says:

    Go Shuster!! Fantastic!

    People like this need to be called on their bullshit, and it’s about time.


  25. BARTLEBEE says:

    That was incredible. Thats the kind of interview that we need to see more of. David Schuster was on fire here, and struck this clown out.

    He was brutal in calling it like it was, and not letting the clown get away with lying, without at least being called on it.

    And Paul Riekhoff was really aggressive today on the issue too. He’s a tough guy Riekhoff, because he’s one of them and they know it. He’s a gun toting shit kicking all American cornfed redneck. And he’s proud to be that.

    The difference is he believes in honor.

    They don’t.


  26. veritas says:

    Let’s poll the parents of the loved ones lost to this heinously illegal war what they think about the comparison of their fallen soldier and a known “perjurer”, shall we?


  27. Spudge_Boy says:

    “[Libby] can’t be left behind as a casualty of a war our country had once proudly claimed as its own,”

    I have never and will never claim the debacle known as Iraq as mine. I knew when Bush was campaigning that he wanted to attack Iraq. All you had to do was listen to him talk. It has nothing to do with the Global War on Terror. It is George W Bush’ revenge project gone out of hand.


  28. veritas says:

    Bartlebee: Maybe some of the media whores are waking up and realizing where their bread is buttered finally? The Rethugs will not be in power for a very long time; ergo, they will all suddenly develop a conscience. It’s amazing how motivated people are by their paycheck, isn’t it? I don’t see much difference in Madam Palfrey and the whoring media, do you?

    Ooooh, look over there! Nothing to see here, move along . . .

    nice little troll doing its best to divert the discussion somewhere else.


  31. veritas says:

    Hey Spudge! They’d better qualify precisely whom they are referring to when they call this war as being “owned”, that’s for sure. It belongs totally and entirely to the Bush Cabal and the sick PNAC neocon/straussians. No body I know was EVER in support of invading this sovereign country, just like the rest of the world….and that included the potentiality of WMD’s, BTW – as we all recall. Even in light of the possibility of WMD’s, the rest of the world and Nato said “no way”….”let the inspectors do their job” and they were being allowed to do their job, as we also all know.


  32. veritas says:

    I guess one of the qualifications for being a lockstep neocon/Straussian is that you also have a horrendously poor memory?? Certainly it was the syndrome with Gozo et al at the hearings….That and an IQ just about EMH I presume.


  33. EvilCornbread says:

    “Yes, we all understand metaphors and a “turn of phrase”, but to compare a convicted felon who helped get us into this disaster with the actual soldiers whose lives are shattered is beyond the pale.”

    But all sorts of things are called “casualties of the war” all the time, and no one finds them offensive in the least. As I pointed out before, Bush’s approval ratings is a common one. Ajami’s not making a literal comparison between Libby and a soldier, he’s saying he’s been hurt by the war, like a great many things.

    Personally I think Libby (was) getting what he deserved and it the war itself deserves very little blame for his predicament. But the whole “he’s saying Libby is like our soldiers” stuff just seems like people are desperate to find something to be outraged about.

    Comment by EvilCornbread — July 6, 2007 @ 6:38 pm

    He didn’t just do that. He cited the Soldiers creed for Libby, which Riekhoff, a soldier himself, was offended by, as I am sure most soldiers would be.

    He talked about not leaving Libby on the battlefield, and while unlike David Schuster, I don’t think he needed to explain in his column that it was a metaphor, (explaining that something you just said was a metaphor kind of takes the purpose out of using one) I do agree that it was hubris of the lowest kind to incite such a metaphor during a time of war, with a person who is guilty of lying to a federal grand jury in a trial about the leaking of a CIA agents identity to discredit someone so they could discredit his accurate report so they could sell the very war we are now in.

    It was a stupid thing to say, and FINALLY, someone really called them on it.

  39. BARTLEBEE says:

    And this clown also said that “Scooter Libby is a soldier in the war in Iraq”.

    Thats a big cry from just comparing him to a soldier in general.

    He actually cited the war in Iraq, and said Libby was a soldier in it.


  40. Loonie says:

    Keep it up, Shuster. It;s nice to see that ball actually being hard for a change. Ajami, you’re just an insult to anyone with more than three functioning neurons.

    Mr. Shuster OWNS this guy. AMAZING. I wish we could see more of him.

    Also: VERITAS, what does ones income-level have to do with thier value as a person?


  45. BARTLEBEE says:

    TP only shows part of this interview.

    If you haven’t seen it, you need to see the entire thing.

    Schuster was right on top of every fact on this case and was on top of every issue this guy raised. The guy tried the right wing troll tactics these trolls in here do. Just smugly lying, by leaving out key components.

    Components like stating “no underlying crime was found”, when the reality and facts are, that Libby stopped the investigation from discovering whether or not a crime was there, by LYING to a FEDERAL GRAND JURY.

    But Schuster wouldn’t let him off the hook. When the idiot tried to close the interview by subtly associating Iraq with 911, Schuster told him straight up that he wasn’t going to let him end the interview on that falsehood.

    It was perhaps the best interview I have ever seen.

    It certainly was the most patriotic.

    Way to go David Shuster! For the first time in a long time, I actually felt like I was watching something that deserved to be called “Hardball.” Shuster was absolutely right to stop Ajami when he started lying and correct him, something Tweety can barely bring himself to do.

    It’s really simple all you Bush supporters out there. If you expect that you’ll be allowed to go on a political talk show and spread lies all in the name of “balance” and equal time”, when you know full well that your arguments are not founded in truth and reality, then you should expect to get the crap beaten out of you. “Metaphorically speaking,” of course.

  68. Marie says:

    Wow!
    I missed the first few minutes, but I saw enough of the interview on the replay a few minutes ago that had me calling my husband in from the other room to see. Schuster was practicing journalism as I always thought journalism should be practiced.
    (Note that Schuster was a reporter at the Clinton impeachment hearings and he was pretty hard on Clinton at the time. They call him a liberal now because he is hard on Bush&Co, but he was hard on Clinton. That is journalism – it’s not only the man, it’s not only the story, it’s the truth.)
    David Schuster has always done his homework. He not only reports the news, he studies it. He has his facts and he is not intimidated.


  69. Yikes says:

    From Wikipedia

    In an August 2002 speech before the Veterans of Foreign Wars, US Vice President Dick Cheney sought to assuage concerns about the anticipated US invasion of Iraq, stating: “As for the reaction of the Arab ’street,’ the Middle East expert Professor Fouad Ajami predicts that after liberation, the streets in Basra and Baghdad are ’sure to erupt in joy in the same way the throngs in Kabul greeted the Americans.’”

    Yeah, this guy Fouad is a real piece of work. And there is this,

    Here is a excerpt that should be noted:

    “A thoughtful man of the political class, Zuhair Chalabi, minister for human rights, and a Sunni Arab from Mosul at that, assured me in Baghdad some weeks ago that his country felt deep gratitude for this American war, but he counseled that it will take time for that gratitude to come to the surface.”

    Bartlebee at #25

    I do not share your enthusiasm for Paul Rieckhoff. He will rail against Bush’s handling of Iraq, lament the losses of fallen soldiers in Iraq, but is most adamantly opposed to the immediate withdrawal of those troops from Iraq, thus ensuring that more of them will be returning to this country maimed and crippled, specifically blinded, burned, paralyzed and especially brain damaged after being blown up from IEDs. Let us not forget that many of them after returning to this country will be suffering from the effects of PTSD. But these wounds of war do not phase the hawkish Rieckhoff, as his motto, as evidenced by his contempt for Lt. Watada, is apparently, ours not to wonder why, ours but to do or die. Into the valley of death rode the 160,000.

    TP notes that Rieckhoff is a member of IAVA [Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America]. I would be a hell of a lt more impressed if macho Rieckhoff became a member of the IVAW [Iraq Veterans Against the War]. As a member of the VVAW [Vietnam Veterans Against the War], I believe that Rieckhoff would be better served by seeing the DVD Sir! No Sir! [which is the story of the GI Resistance that took place during the Vietnam War] so that he might recognize that soldiers in the military have not only a right but a duty and an obligation to speak out and to say NO to an illegal and immoral war.

    say the Republican into the independents’ and Democrats’ faces when they dare to question Republican politicians.

    Keep yawning in our faces along with your friends who comprise the dwindling minority who live in another world where the Executive branch is competent and honest, and develops and implements good, effective policy for America.

    While that goes on, the rest of us will continue the drive to hold the Republicans accountable for their record in reality.

    So please, do in our faces about impeachment, just like the Republicans yawned in Democrats’ faces before last election when the Republicans got tossed out of control of Congress.

    Please keep yawning. It’s good luck for us. In fact, please bless, ooops I mean yawn at this:

    http://www.americanresearchgroup.com/

    Yup, 54% of Americans want Cheney impeached. In another world of course. On a planet far far away from the Republicans and American mainstream media . . .

    The Democratic politicians are only beginning to catch up to the American public.

  114. Katie says:

    I just watched the whole thing on C & L. I have to admit that I do agree with this guy on one point. Scooter Libby should not have been the only one who got in trouble for outing Valerie Plame. I think that every one of those who admitted leaking her name to reporters should have been charged with treason. And I believe that Novak should be charged with Treason. He knowingly outed a covert CIA agent and her cover company (there was no need for a cover company if she was not covert).

    The only quibble I have with Shuster’s interview with this jerk was that he didn’t nail him on trying to say that outing Valerie Plame was somehow part of a political discourse between the White House and Joe Wilson. That was not at all what it was. It was payback, pure and simple.

  117. Katie says:

    #104 and #105 – Exactly how am I trying to censor Flaco? And I have no problem with Flaco telling the truth. The problem is that he wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the balls.

    #109 – I called Flaco names? Oh, I guess that had to do with referring to his pea brain. I’m not exactly sure how that was calling him names, though. I was referring to a part of his anatomy.

    And, talk about acting like a child. Your performance on this blog is the epitome of childish behavior.

  126. Laszlo Panaflex says:

    Going back to Ford pardoning Nixon, and Bush I pardoning the Iran-Contra conspirators, Republicans are always having to issue pardons not for donors, or those with ties to the administration, but for *members* of the administration, people working, or residing, right there in the White House. Comparing this record to any of Clinton’s pardons is preposterous.

    The GOP is a party of criminals. The one good thing that could come out of this administration would be if Americans turn their backs on the GOP for generations, as they did in 1930.


  127. Mr. President says:

    Loonie,

    No.

    Why do you ask?

    Mr. President,

    Because I wanted to know if you were asking me why you are curious.

    Why?


  129. BARTLEBEE says:

    Heres the thing. Shuster is no “Keith Olberman wannabee” like one of the dipshits in here said.

    Shuster is the real McCoy. He is an Emmy Award winning Journalist, who goes after truth, not party lines. In fact, he came from Fox News, and covered the impeachment of Bill Clinton for Fox News.

    He also was in the Pentagon on 911 when the plane struck.

    Shuster will get a show I think. This interview I think will be a catalyst for that. This really was one of the best examples of a journalist with his facts down and solidly on his game.


  130. Mr. Bush Goes To Hell says:

    A GREAT question about Libby from the RUDE PUNDIT.
    http://rudepundit.blogspot.com

    A Genuine Question Regarding Joseph Wilson:

    Has any right-winger, in all this time, come up with a legitimate reason for there being a need to discredit Joseph Wilson by outing his wife through Scooter Libby? Because if, as conservatives claim, Wilson was demonstrably wrong in his Niger report, it seems you’d just show he’s wrong and leave his wife out of the whole damn thing. Unless…well, you know.

    Anyone got an answer they can point out?


  131. Mr. President says:

    Loonie,

    Oh.

    Because I wanted to know if you wanted to know if I was asking you why do you want to know why I am curious or if you wanted to know if I was asking you why do you want to know why I keep presenting statements that amount to little more than opinion, and then putting ‘why’ at the end of them as though they were poignant gems of razor-sharp astuteness.

    “I loved today’s show! I emailed viewerservices@mnsbc.com and hardball@msnbc.com with my glowing review of David Shuster, telling them he is the only mainstreaam reported who actually knows the Plamegate facts! I also said he should have his own show, preferably replacing Tucker Carlson :)”

    I have to entirely agree. Chris Matthews is losing his edge on Hardball. I know that he has as much information about the CIA leak case as Shuster, but you’d never know it lately. Last night he let his guests get away with a lot of right wing propaganda about Libby having a different memory than Tim Russert instead of nailing them on it. Shuster was dynamite, and needs to replace Tucker or Matthews.

    This is what a host of a political progam should do, I don’t care if he’s interviewing a Democrat or a Republican, someone I love or hate. Call them on their lies, know your facts, don’t let them evade or intimidate. Masterful! If Shuster gets a show, I get cable. Then no more of the fawning, lazy interviews of Meet the Press, Face the Nation, and This Week.

    Now I clearly know what is wrong with MSM, for I have seen the alternative.

    I just finished watching the entire David Shuster Hardball show and all I have to say is that Chris Matthews is going to pale in comparison to David.

    Several States are doing this with their pension funds.

    Look I’m not advocating a Military solution but an economic one!

    Comment by The Joker

    This a$$munch wants a kinder, gentler war? Maybe we could fly over and drop a bunch of fu*kin’ carnations on their heads huh? Would you like that? Maybe we can get the Air force to save the daisy cutters for your place, you muslim harboring hippie immigrant


  191. The Joker says:

    Mr. President,
    Notice the Leftists are against economic strangulation too!
    They really are Pro-Muslim!

    hey stoopid
    eggregious doesn’t like you and he’s a libtard. I don’t like you either. quit trying to play both sides grow a pair.
    I bet your friends can’t evn stand you. If you have any


  195. The Joker says:

    Libtard Bait ,
    Let me guess you’re a Minute men supporter!
    Did you know the Minutemen are an Al-Qaeda front operation!
    That makes you a Mulsim sysmpathizer, like your hero Mr. Shrub!


  196. Mr. President says:

    The Joker,

    The Lefty always say that any kind of anti-muslim thing is wrong…

    NO MATTER WHAT!!!

    Then they say that it will breed more terrorists.
    They make excuse after excuse, they don’t even no what the consequences of what they are saying will be.

    I say we bomb the Kaaba in Mecca, and then kill any of the Muslim countries who have a problem!

    Libtard,
    “eggregious doesn’t like you and he’s a libtard. I don’t like you either. quit trying to play both sides grow a pair.”

    So Leftwing Muslim supporter doesn’t like me and a Racist Rightwing Muslim lover doesn’t like me!
    That means I’m an Independent Muslim hating American patriot!
    Both the Radical Left and the Racist Right are my enemies!

    I wear that with honor!

    Oh crap! you really are as dumb as you seem to be.
    Muslim terrorists want to cross the border from MEXICO! The mnutemen protect that border!

    Mr. President,
    I agree in a perfect world we should Nuke Mecca, Median, Qoms, Teheran, Baghdad and Damascus but it can’t happen.
    The Media is Pro-Muslim and wouldn’t allow it.
    Nearly half the country supports the Islamic cause and they won’t allow it!
    I’m a realist.
    Only an economic strangulation can work.
    The Left is even against that!

    The only thing you wear with honor is your mother’s underwear you queer.

    The Joker,
    I support all forms of strangling Muslims!!!
    But what happens when Iran gets help from other Muslim countries, they will blame us.
    They will put out even more propaganda and say that it is a continuation of the crusades.
    If they say that it is a crusade,

    WE SHOULD MAKE IT A CRUSADE!


  206. The Joker says:

    “Muslim terrorists want to cross the border from MEXICO! The mnutemen protect that border!”

    Ha ha you idiot!
    The Muslims cross from Canada.
    In Montreal there are active Hizb’Allah, Hamas and al-Qaeda Cells!
    All they have to do is walk across the border up there.
    Mexicans hate Muslims.
    The Minutemen are an Al-Qaeda front group drawing attention from the Canadian border where their brothers will sneak in!
    You have fallen for their lies!
    You’re just a Nazi Dhimmi!
    It’s funny Hitler had Muslim SS units!
    I guess the Old Islamic-Nazi allaince is alive and well!
    Now you Have the Stralinsist with you!

    Mr. President,
    I’m with you!
    But barring a Nuke attack on our soil, the American Left supports the Muslim cause!
    It’s sad but true!
    I wish there was a way to convince us, but they love Iran too much.
    So an economic method is better!

    It is because the media is so PC here, and in Muslim countries they start showing kids Mickey Mouse beaten up when they are still young.
    The Muslims propagandize their kids to kill!
    The Leftist PC media propagandizes our children to be pussies!


  214. The Joker says:

    Why do you think Ahmadinejad is very popular with the American people!
    The Media controls our politicians.
    If the media hated Iran, that nation would be toast and the Leftiosts here would be anti-Iran.
    This website is proff, that the American people are too pusy to fight Muslims!
    Hey why don’t you enlist since you’re so tough?

    If the media hated Iran, that nation would be toast and the Leftiosts here would be anti-Iran.

  230. Probus says:

    Ajami has dishonored the sacrifice of our troops. It is wrong to compare a convicted felon to our noble troops who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives to serve their nation. What has Libby done? He represented Mark Rich and had him pardoned. Being in the service teaches you responsibility and accountability. Libby has shown he is incapable of neither. Libby has shown zero bravery and integrity unlike our fallen soldiers. Libby deserves to sit in a prison cell so he can pay for his crimes. There is nothing noble about the Iraq war. We were lied into this war and our kids are paying the price for it. If Ajami thinks this war is noble maybe he should enlist himself.

    Did he say “WAS” a noble war?

    Is he admitting the war is winding down and we’ll slowly be pulling troops out?

    I was reading the NYT at lunch today, and it detailed a little more about all those local Sunnis who are stepping forward to take control of their neighborhoods and push Al Qaida out, and working with the Americans. It said that they are doing that now because they don’t see the Americans as occupiers so much now…since they know we are leaving. It’s not open ended anymore. They know the area will be their problem to police soon enough and they’re working with us a little more now because of that.

    Everyone seems to know we’re pulling out except the White House.

    Now sooner than I posted about not being able to run for President without admiting you worshiped a Zombie (risen Christ or something), lighting struck outside the house. Fried the TV and the Ethernet Card and the mouse.

    Obviously, the only people involved in this mess who come anywhere near being “soldiers” are Valerie Wilson and the other people who worked on the now destroyed weapons-tracking operation Mrs. Wilson oversaw. Ajami got “tore up from the floor up”, and he deserved every bit of it.

    Someone should have followed Ajami (that’s probably not even his real name) with a camera after the interview. It would have been nice to catch this asshole throwing a post-asskicking tantrum in the hallway. I also thought it was perfect the way Shuster brought on other guests to join in the debunk-a-thon of neocon nonsense.


  452. S.D. says:

    Good for David Shuster. It’a way past time the News Media called out Propagandists like Fouad Ajami.

    As Paul Rieckhoff pointed out, Fouad Ajami is free to say whatever he likes, but he better expect people to respond to it.

    Comment by Mr. Bush Goes To Hell — July 7, 2007 @ 3:42 am

    I’ve always bought this up in discussions, and supporters of these crooks can never come up with an answer. Normally, they just go whole hog and have their talking points to discredit the person they want to attack. My take is that they didn’t think that would work, so BRAVE and COURAGEOUS souls they are, they attack his wife. But in doing so, they outed the whole Brewster Jennings operation, forever compromising the WMD intel they were gathering, not just on Iraq, but more importantly on Iran. The reason they didn’t care about that (besides being traitors to the core-see Bush 41’s quote on those who compromise intelligence officers identities) is that Cheney thought it would be better NOT to have solid intelligence on Iran’s WMD, so no one in the future can pull a Wilson on them and call them out that they are liars when they overestimate Iran’s WMD capability in justifying the bombing that will come before Bush leaves office.

    Well said sir. Brewster Jenning was probably the real taget all along. After all, their facts about no WMDs stood in the way of Cheney’s wars.


  460. pat says:

    I was stunned. Has this ever happened before? A winger stopped from lying on an American tv show? Ajami was stunned too. “What is this man doing?” he asked. “Chris has never done anything like this before.” Or Wolf, or Brian or Katie…….


  461. Walker Stemmons says:

    Shuster asked Rieckhoff, “If someone was convicted of four felonies, would they even be entitled to serve in the military?” “No, they’d be in a military prison right now.” replied Rieckhoff.

    Two months ago there were already over 900 convicted felons, most gang members, serving in the U.S. armed forces.


  462. Rosencrantz says:

    Fire Tweety NOW and give this guy the job. THIS is how a show should be run. You don’t just sit back and let somebody lie and spread misinformation simply because you think it’s baised to correct them. On your show you have a responsibility to let your viewers know the TRUTH. That means if somebody lies about something you have a duty to your viewers to correct them with the turth and the facts.

    Like the solider on the phone said, he has a right to write what he wants and a right to his opinion, but he’s not immune from criticism and he certainly has no right to lie unashamedly on television to promote a political agenda.


  463. Toss these losers says:

    Shuster is a sharp cookie and does his homework. I would say give the guy his own show, but then he wouldn’t have time to do the great journalism that he does. He’s a better asset in a support role.

    That being said, I watched yesterday’s show and he handed that guy his nuts on a plate. We need more of that straight talk.


  464. Jane E. Schneider says:

    Comment by Toss these losers — July 7, 2007 @ 11:49 am

    David covered the Libby trial from the beginning, so he really knows his stuff. Recently some other talking head kept saying that “real people” don’t know or care about Scooter Libby because the story is “too complex”! Ha! Shuster can manage to explain it all very clearly, so one would think that the more ‘experienced’ “journalists” should be able to. Maybe David’s recent marriage gave him the extra confidence to really go after this guy?;-)

    I agree with you on Shuster being more of an asset in a support role, for now anyway. But it will be interesting to see how Matthews handles himself when he comes back–hopefully he will learn something from David and from their viewers’ (our) reaction to this great interview.


  465. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Comment by Rosencrantz — July 7, 2007 @ 11:49 am

    I completely agree. Stop the lies dead in their tracks. Especially since the liars are not expecting to be called out on them and have to defend them. And notice how he starts claiming that David Shuster had his facts wrong about Libby. I doubt that guy attended th trail every day like Shuster did. I’d prefer him to be the fill-in host on Hardball any time Tweety needs a day off, but as the next poster said, we would lose him as a great journalist. Maybe he can just sit in on the show and act as an on-air fact-checker for MSNBC.


  466. BARTLEBEE says:

    Wow. Close to 500 comments.

    Guess David Shuster got the troll pukes more worked up than I thought.

    MSNBC really needs to give Shuster his own show, or at least a show as a cohost.

    Shuster proved last night he is more of an interviewer than any of the others out there. We need to see much more of this guy.


  467. Mr. President says:

    Gah. when will you libs realize that you can’t reason with us, it’s blunt force politics all the way, rewrite the rules when needed, or ignore them if thats not possible and every so often blame Clinton, we’ve been running on this baseless platform of politics forever, we’ve quietly subverted the media over time, we did learn something during Vietnam….no it wasn’t regarding the will of the majority, please you plebes must be kept in the dark, destroying Net Neutrality is our next major initiative, we didn’t see that one coming, but we’re working hard to eliminate democracy there like we’ve done with radio and TV…our method of twisting your own strongest arguments against you in conjunction with obfuscation of the facts, lying, smearing and our synergy with corporate America’s like minded objectives have neutered this democracy, let the free market reign!

  472. bogtrotters says:

    464. Agree agree. He lied to cover his bosses’ asses. What could be simpler? The neocons have been underestimating Americans for almost seven years; they won’t get away with that from here on out.

    The sound you hear is a tipping point, because it’s not JUST the Libby commutation: Libby’s just one more scandal in an Everest-high pile of corruption.

    You’d have to go back to Warren G. Harding to find comparable muck. One difference: Bush is a weaker president. That takes into account the anecdote about Harding being found weeping one day: “I have no business being President of the United States,” he wailed.

    Bush lacks even that self-awareness.

  474. azureblue says:

    Ah, Mr. President…
    Why do you support Bush, who has trashed the Constitution, ignored the Bill of rights and the very law itself? Bush has betrayed his oath of office, plainly. Our Founding Fathers laid down their lives to create this country and it is people like you and Bush that so casually destroy it.
    Bush is a traitor. you are a traitor. You are both solidly against the principles this country is founded upon.
    And I bet you support communists, too. You support Bush’s war in Iraq? Well, let me tell you how Bush is financing this war- he is borrowing money from Communist China to pay for it. And I bet you shop at Wal Mart and buy Chinese goods without a single thought about what you are doing to this country.
    It is not Democrats or liberals who are ruining America.
    It is you and your ilk who are doing the job, and very well, I might add.
    I would say you should be, but you and you kind don’t know shame, much less responsibility.
    You hate America, that is all there is to it. And you are probably anti Christian, at that- you hate the teachings of Christ.
    Go read the Constitution and Bill of rights. All of them. And read the Sermon on the Mount and the words of Christ.
    Then come back here and tell us why you support Bush and his gang of crooks.

    You know you don’t have to do that. He can’t explain what a “Sophist” is, but he calls me that all the time. I do not believe that he can explain what a “straw man” argument is except to claim that he never uses them.


  477. Edward R Olbermann says:

    Shuster is a liberal hack.


  478. BARTLEBEE says:

    Anyone who dares disagree with the master race is a liberal hack.

    So right now, the country is about 75 percent liberal hacks.

    Beat that with a stick.


  479. Rob Wilms says:

    Can we now, finally, put the “neocon” movement into the same dustbin of history as Nazi Germany, Facist Italy, and any other brain dead “ism” that seeks to create a perpetual utopia of like-minded windbags on the backs and broken bodies of men and women who have more honor and dignity in their missing limbs than any “neocon” has in his or her (or in the case of “Ann” Coulter, its) entire body.


  480. GCHeels says:

    Yep, Shuster had him for lunch. This is how reporters should be handling all the lies that come from these crooks. THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 6 YEARS AGO!!!


  481. Edward R Olbermann says:

    Shuster Rips Neoconservative Ajami For Comparing Scooter Libby To Fallen U.S. Soldiers

    The headline should be Neoliberal attacks


  482. Kevin Kelly says:

    I agree comparing Libby to a fallen soldier was offensive. However, to compare him to a pawn in the Left Wing assasination game seems to better capture the essence of the situation. The leak issue was settled long before this case went to trial — as we all know! With Dick Armitages’ tardy revelation that he outed Ms Plame why did this special prosecutor feel it necessary to pursue a man who did not out Valerie – She was already out.
    The pardon issue is another example of thoughtless people with “kill Bush” emblazened on their minds, attacking the sitting President of the United States. The pardon was a reaction to a vigorous, political attack on the Administration. Sure the Republicans mildly attacked the Clinton pardons – have any of you “kill Bush” folks looked at the list and the rationale for the Clinton pardons — talk about paying debts — just awful. I would not dare compare our current President to the prior administration, he is so far above them in character and leadership that it would be a silly comparison.


  483. rexzeitgeist says:

    Schuster is a hack, a leftwing partisan that masquerades as a ‘journalist’……MSNBC is inthe pocket of the haqrd left and Schuster is just one their henchman……
