Last week, we noted right-wing pundit Glenn Beck’s meeting with President Bush in the White House. After the visit, Beck lauded Bush’s “incredible passion and resolve.” In a weekend trip to Idaho, Beck heaped even more praise on the president:
He’s not the guy you see on TV. He is the guy on the truck with the bull horn, and for years I have been wondering were is that guy. He is alive and well.
Apparently, this Beck fellow is an imbecile.
August 6th, 2007 at 10:37 pmI am speechless. I am w/out speech.
The Pillsbury BlowBoy has spoken.

August 6th, 2007 at 10:43 pmWhen a Bunch of Motivated White Beta Males Get Together, Who
Knows What Level of Condescension They Can Achieve?
It’s being reported how YearlyKos is mainly white males — which I just always assumed. I’m not a racist — some of my best friends are white — but I have noticed a propensity for condescension among white people, especially liberal white people. For them it’s practically an art form. And, of course, Daily Kos is dripping with condescension. Daily Kos has a few token minorities (Kos himself is half Latino), but it’s quite obviously a group of white people trying to figure out what’s better for their lessers. Whenever I read Daily Kos, the first thing that comes to mind is, “White people are crazy!”
August 6th, 2007 at 10:43 pmI’m sure he is all of those things, but I noticed “competent” was not one of them.

August 6th, 2007 at 10:45 pmIt’s August! Time to Make Stuff Up!
As this and most TP threads show so clearly, August is always the slowest month for politics, but that is no excuse! I’m thinking, though, we may need to make up some political issues to respond to so we can pass the time.
Here’s a couple ideas:
* The people at Daily Kos are now actively supporting Iraqi insurgents trying to kill American. They still consider this supporting our troops since Iraqi insurgents provide negative reinforcement for behavior they disagree with (namely, defense of America and its interests).
* Democrats in Congress have become so powerless that now even their own bodies aren’t listen to their commands and thus the Democrats are running around the Capitol like chickens with their heads cut off.
* John Edwards lectured middle class Americans while wearing a pink, frilly dress and wearing over a million dollars in jewelry. His supporters are complaining how the following coverage focused on his appearance and not his message.
* Hillary Clinton was forced to take a break from campaigning for three days due to an injury sustained when she was accidentally splashed with holy water.
* Barack Obama says he will never ever use the military against North Korea no matter what and threatens to invade South Korea if they don’t crack down on the consumption of dogs.
* New botched terrorist attack ended when terrorists accidentally drive a car into a phone poll and then set selves on fire. Luckily for them, a third terrorist videotaped the incident and won $10,000 from America’s Funniest Home Videos as funding for their next attempt.
Any ideas for other made up stuff I can respond to?

August 6th, 2007 at 11:06 pmNow this is news: Beauchamp recants: “THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned from a military source close to the investigation that Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp–author of the much-disputed ‘Shock Troops’ article in the New Republic’s July 23 issue as well as two previous ‘Baghdad Diarist’ columns–signed a sworn statement admitting that all three articles he published in the New Republic were exaggerations and falsehoods–fabrications containing only ‘a smidgen of truth,’ in the words of our source. . . . According to the military source, Beauchamp’s recantation was volunteered on the first day of the military’s investigation.”
So Beauchamp was lying the whole time, and now that he has two entirely different stories, he was either lying to TNR, which probably paid him $50 per article and which can’t put him in prison for lying to them (because he’s not under oath when he’s spouting off to Franklin Foer), or he lied to the Army, which pays his entire salary and can and will put him in jail for quite a while if he lies to them . . . . So guess which one Beauchamp is more likely to have lied to — the people who couldn’t jail him, or the ones who could. And would. That’s about as definitive a refutation as we’ll get in this saga, but it’s a good one.

Democratic Seats Secure, Republicans at Risk
The latest strategy memo from James Carville and Stan Greenberg touts a recent poll in the 70 most competitive Congressional districts which shows the Democrats “in a strong position to hold their gains from 2006 and move far into Republican territory in 2008.”
“Indeed, Democrats hold an 18-point electoral advantage in their own districts while Republicans are losing their districts by 5 points overall — 7 points in their most vulnerable districts, 51 to 44 percent.”
Key finding: “Republican incumbents are paying a big price for the deep discontent in the country and for aligning with the President who is no more popular in the Republican districts than in the Democratic ones. “

August 6th, 2007 at 11:26 pmGlenn Beck was raised a Roman Catholic in Mt. Vernon, Washington. His mother committed suicide when he was 13. One of his brothers also committed suicide, and another had a fatal heart attack.
Beck is a self-described reformed alcoholic and drug addict. In the aftermath of those three family tragedies, Beck said he used “Dr. Jack Daniels” to cope. He and his first wife divorced amid his struggle with substance abuse. Beck cites the help of Alcoholics Anonymous in his sobriety, and he eventually converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which teaches against the consumption of alcohol.
Beck believes he has a personal relationship with God. “God stalked me like he had a giant baptismal rifle,” Beck said. “I thwarted him. I led people astray as much I could but he kept putting Mormons in my way.”
———
Ergo, he’s a dry alcoholic, right-wing Mormon. No wonder he’s trying so hard, despite all evidence to the contrary, to seem like he has something intelligent to say.
Maybe he’s holding an Urim and Thummim while he spews…kinda puts him in the same camp as Joseph Smith, who was convicted after an admitting to being a “disorderly person” and an “impostor” in a court in Bainbridge, New York, before he began his ultimate “treasure-hunting expedition”.

August 6th, 2007 at 11:29 pmP.S. to WC: Iraq was a “gathering†threat, we weren’t going to wait until the smoking gun was a mushroom cloud, and (unfortunately) there’s always collateral damage in any ground war.

“B.S.” to Jake D.: No they weren’t. I’ll be glad to direct you to speeches by Colin Powell and Condi Rice in the months prior to 9/11 that points out just the opposite.
A gathering threat. Spare me. With what? The WMD’s that no one can find? The very thing that the weapons inspectors would have found out had Bush not pulled them out of Iraq before their jobs were finished, so that he could order the invasion?
As for collateral damage, the murder I reference does not fall under this category. Those soldiers didn’t murder those people and then say “Ooops.” The troops did not storm the victims’ house looking for insurgents. You drop a bomb on a town square, innocents are going to die. Having sex with a 14 year old girl and killing the family, an act that has not a god-damned thing to do with fighting the war on terror, cannot be explained away as “collateral damage.”

A deserter who lied us into a war he can’t possibly win, a VP who has been caught in dozens of lies on television, nothing but lies. Congress’ approval on the war is the same as Bush’s. You can make stuff up all day, but iyou are still losing a war that you are too cowardly to go fight, and that’s is why. If you war-mongerers would join up in sufficient numbers, there might be a chance. But no, stay home and let the others have 5 tours, and then blame everybody else when America turns tail and runs. Liars and cowards, known as the GOP.

August 6th, 2007 at 11:58 pmYes, Jake, let’s take this time to peruse the Duelfer Report, shall we?
First up, key findings on delivery systems (I believe this refers to rockets. Correct me if I am wrong, Jake. )
Quote:
“Given Iraq’s investments in technology and infrastructure improvements, an effective procurement network,
skilled scientists, and designs already on the books for longer range missiles, ISG assesses that Saddam
clearly intended to reconstitute long-range delivery systems and that the systems potentially were for WMD.”
Note the word “potentially.” And this:
In February 2003 the UN convened an expert panel to discuss the Al Samud II and Al Fat’h programs, which
resulted in the UN’s decision to prohibit the Al Samud II and order its destruction. Missile destruction began
in early March but was incomplete when the inspectors were withdrawn later that month.
Oh looky there. Missiles that Saddam shouldn’t have had were being destroyed, but gosh, they had to cease because a certain American president was itching to invade.
More to come…

August 7th, 2007 at 12:02 amSo tell us, Jake, did you read the entire report, word for word? Must have taken you weeks, as the report contains about 200 MB of data. Did you read it before Oct. 6, 2004, or after December of that same year? It’s mighty large, I tell you; so large, that the U of Michigan, where I found a PDF copy, posted this:
At the time (Oct. 6) each of the three volumes were 50-70 MB, making it impossible for most citizens to read, even with a broadband connection. This version of the report is divided into smaller segments, even though a broadband connection is still advisable. A more readable HTML version was posted to the web in December 2004.

August 7th, 2007 at 12:21 amBeck has very little credibility, his views on the war don’t reflect the reality. His views are often racist and sexist. Beck’s views stand in contrast to those of a majority of the American people who voted for democrats in 2006. Most Americans see Bush as someone who stubbornly refuses to admit that he has been wrong from the beginning about the Iraq war. This war was a mistake. The invasion was unnecessary. This is a war of choice. The justifications for going to Iraq have fallen apart. The surge has failed. Any president who has the inability to see the reality is truly out of touch.

And Iraq was not invaded because Hussein had potential access to WMD, had intentions to maybe rebuild his arsenal, or because he had WMD programs.
The Bush administration sold the war to the American public based on a certainty that Hussein had, in fact, WMD. That he could launch those WMD within 45mins of giving the order. That he was a grave, gathering, and present danger, both to his neighbors and to the world. There was nothing speculative about that.
That the Bush supporters in this thread are now babbling about Hussein’s “intentions” shows their intellectual dishonesty, and their propensity to move the goal posts when proven wrong.
Poor, pathetic, intellectually weak submissive followers.

Indeed. From what I’ve read so far (and it’s admittedly brief given the shitload of info in the report), the last thing Saddam wanted was to tangle with the U.S. Another section of the report that I thought was interesting was the suggestion that American officials thought there was a Saddam-al Qaeda connection simply based on the premise that since Saddam didn’t offer his condolences to America, or condemn the attacks on 9/11, then he must be involved with al Qaeda in some manner. In other words, we, in part, perceived Iraq as a “gathering threat” because he didn’t say “I’m so sorry” after 9/11.
August 7th, 2007 at 12:42 amIraq had nothing to do with 9-11 or bin Laden. Saddam had nothing to do with the tragic attacks of 9-11. The real war o
