Fleischer attacks Huckabee for criticizing Bush.

Fleischer attacks Huckabee for criticizing Bush.
President Bush’s former spokesman Ari Fleischer today called Mike Huckabee’s Foreign Affairs comments “unwarranted and unwise“:
There is much to like about Mike Huckabee. But he will serve Republican primary voters, and our nation, better if he focused his criticisms on the Democrats who will run against our eventual nominee and not on the President who has kept us safe.
Yesterday, Mitt Romney also said that Huckabee “ought to be saying thank you to the president for keeping us safe these last six years.”

Cat fight!
December 16th, 2007 at 8:43 pmYeah, but what about that first year, when the twit and his admin ignored warning after warning?
December 16th, 2007 at 8:43 pm1 - and it’s going to last from now til next November. Pinch me!
December 16th, 2007 at 8:46 pmI’d say, git some pop corn, sit back, and enjoy tha show!
December 16th, 2007 at 8:49 pmI love all these comments from idiots that said that Saddam had WMDs…we never forget.
December 16th, 2007 at 8:50 pmWow, it’s gotta suck trying to get the votes of the small percentage of American’s out-of-touch enough to still support this president. Even professionals like Huckabee and Romney must strain at times to keep up the facade of actually believing in this nationalistic crap.
December 16th, 2007 at 8:50 pmIt’s a full on GOoPer civil war.
Break out the Gallagher style plastic and cover yourselves, this is gonna get bloody.

December 16th, 2007 at 8:52 pmWhen, where, and how does hanging around at tee-ball games and clearing brush constitute keeping anyone safe?? Unless, of course, we’re safer when the president is doing that than we are when he’s in Washington messing with the buttons.
If the Cheerleader Prince were capable of protecting anyone other than his perverted, war-profiteer legislator friends, we’d have an intact New York City skyline.

December 16th, 2007 at 9:01 pmi think it’s time for ari to get on board the “huck” huckabee express!
December 16th, 2007 at 9:08 pmThat is the same threat that Dictator Air gave to Bill Maher after the war started.
We call it the Dixie Chick Syndrome here in Texas.
It is a bully threat but given by the biggest wussies on the planet earth……like hairless flesher
December 16th, 2007 at 9:13 pmThe money wing and the neo-cons are going to burst the Huckabubble before it gets too big.

December 16th, 2007 at 9:14 pmI’ll say it again:
1) Shrub kept us safe ?
2) First the dems couldn’t critique the Prez (note that I didn’t say criticise, I said critique, as in to grade). Now te repubs can’t. Who is left ?
December 16th, 2007 at 9:17 pm#16 GSD
Yah, but this could show up some serious, perhaps coalition busting, rifts in the gop.
It’ll be interesting to hear each side whine about the smear tactics they both regularly use on anyone and everyone who opposes them.
December 16th, 2007 at 9:18 pmLebowski,
Yep. Gonna be fun. The base really hates McCain and frankly Lieberdinkweed is only a favored mook because he loves him some wars.
How are the gonna stomach Al Gore’s right hand man?
This is the shuddering of the foundations of GOP-erville.

December 16th, 2007 at 9:20 pmLike the logical fallacy that because Event B followed Event A, it means Event B was caused by Event A, so is its corrollary a logical fallacy, that because Event B failed to follow Event A, it means Event A prevented Event B. Neither are correct.
Just because we haven’t been attacked by terrorists since 9/11 (an event that was rare before), it does not mean it was because of anything the Bush Administration did.
December 16th, 2007 at 9:21 pmOsama Bin Laden, unlike Bush, is not stupid. Another attack on the United States would not only be redundant, it would be counterproductive.
Only an idiot would risk the death penalty by trying to murder an enemy well on his way to committing suicide.
December 16th, 2007 at 9:44 pmI was about ready to stand up and applaud the ‘ol Huckster (in my mind), then he went into “I’m one-with-Bush more than you are !” mode . I sat down . ;D
I wonder if Romney’s demand for an apology will win it for Huckabee , or vice versa. Even if it helps him with the nomination , I suspect it’ll come back to cost him in the main event .
Wayne , you are correct , but logic has never been a strong point with that bunch.
December 16th, 2007 at 9:45 pmA petition in support of Bernie Ward is now out there:

December 16th, 2007 at 9:50 pmThou shall not insult Mien Fuhrer Bush.
December 16th, 2007 at 9:52 pmI have to admit it should prove to be amusing watching the Reps trip over themselves, trying to get turned around, to attack Bushco after the nomination. I can’t imagine any candidate trying to pull off a “I’m just like the last guy” campaign. Anyone who wants a single vote, outside the hardcore Reich, will have to take a “George screwed up. Here’s how I’m different”, approach.
If Hillary is indeed nominated; the Reps will find themselves running against two men, Georgie and Bill, neither of whom is in the race. Regardless of outcome such a race would provide great “snark” long after we’re gone.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:03 pmWe might be physically safe - no thanks to Bush - but our Constitution is, and has been, repeatedly raped by his administration. Add to this, the looting of our treasury and the commission of crimes, and you have very little but physical safety.
Thank Bush?
For what?
December 16th, 2007 at 10:10 pmsince bert never does anything but what we see above, can he just be flagged out of existence here?

your juvenile doo is beneath comtempt
get a cardboard sign, a quart of wine, and go tell it at an overpass.
thanks for being a public disgrace. it saves me a lot of time.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:24 pmall those dead New Yorkers are really grateful to your cheerleader prince, for protecting them the way he did that day in september. what a hero.
that’s one guy i can think of that’s a much bigger public disgrace than you, so you can either take solace there’s someone worse, or feel inferior that you’ve been outdone at it. that’s sad, at best.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:28 pm#31 yippie
The depths of your idiocy are indeed impressive. You show a complete inability to reason or even, apparently, understand other posts.
They were saying you should be banned for (poorly executed) ad hominem attacks and failure to engage your brain.
However, with each post you prove what a moron you and most other right wingers. Post away, gravel brain.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:29 pmHow safe were we on 9/11? On August 6, 2001 Bush was advised in the PDB on that day that “bin Laden determined to strike inside US”. Given that message Bush decides to go fishing. Later, when the intelligence officer briefed him Bush responded “O.k., you’ve covered your ass”. When Andy Card told Bush America is under attack after the 2nd plane hit the WTC Bush first had a dumbfounded look on his face then continue to read “My Pet Goat” to a bunch of 1st graders. Tell me again how safe we have been under Bush the last 6 5/6 years. (You don’t get to drop that 5/6).
You might also ask Salt Lake City, Virginia Tech, Omaha and Colorado how safe 2007 has been.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:31 pmI’ll trade these last ‘6 years of being safe’ in favor of being unsafe, not spied on, the country not mired in massive debt, quagmired in Iraq, our CIA agents not being exposed because right wing political vendettas, etc etc…for bush actually doing his job that first year…and keeping us safe then.
Suffice it to say, the ‘6 years of being safe’ is just complete bullshit.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:35 pmyour guys failed, bud, not mine.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:35 pmi’m as grateful for the cheerleader prince’s “protection” as you were/are for clinton’s before that.
but you can’t handle that - all you can do is sound like a jr. high punk and make thinly(poorly) veiled insults at all in earshot.
you go right ahead, freely, and demonstrate what kind of dickhead you are.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:39 pmin fact, bring on the whole enchilada for us bert - your own personal righty manifesto. kind of a politically-tinted Joe Dirt story that i for one would love to hear in its entirety
December 16th, 2007 at 10:41 pm#36 yipping poodle guy
How to get this through that rock bucket you call a skull? As another poster noted, just because we haven’t been attacked doesn’t mean Bush has “kept us safe.”
You want to have it both ways. If an attack happened tomorrow, you’d blame everyone but Bush.
that makes you a hypocrite. Unless, of course, you’d state right now that another attack on Bush’s watch would be his fault…
December 16th, 2007 at 10:42 pmIf you don’t like Bert here, just flag him over and over again. I don’t know why admin is so slow to get rid of some of these cretins, but sooner or later, they’ll do it.
Just flag the f’-in’ every last time the smarmy creep shows up.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:42 pm#43 yipster
You’re seriously calling out Clinton for letting Bin Laden escape?
What do you think Bush did in Tora Bora and has been doing continuously for the last six year?
How dumb do you have to be when your idol still lets Bin Laden walk free after the attacks?
You probably also believe they found wmd in Iraq but it got censored as part of the big media conspiracy to suppress the “good news” from Iraq.
Thank you in advance for continuing to post your drivel.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:51 pmAll of “the opposition” I see here are incoherent unicorn humpers - all that show up here any more are of the same, woefully inferior quality. they piss everyone off, and next thing you know, punches are bring thrown amongst the good folk.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:52 pmAnd by the way, I’m no fan of the Clintons.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:52 pmThat cursed Bush, the nerve of the man, keeping us safe for 6 years.

Comment by BERT CONVY
Bush has done absolutely nothing to make us safe. He has taken our National Guard, which we need in emergencies and sent them to occupy Iraq. He has done nothing to secure our ports or our power plants. He has done nothing much to secure our airports. Bush has made thousands of new terrorists by invading Iraq and by his bellicose attitude towards the Muslim countries.
Just because AQ or some other terrorist organization has not attacked the US since 911 doesn’t mean that Bush has made us safe. All it means is that they are sitting back and enjoying the show, watching Bush and Company destroy the United States from within. Why should they bother to attack us again? Bush is doing a bang up job of destroying this country for them.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:54 pmHUCKAVA JOB.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:56 pmbert - who was the president when 9/11 happened, and what did he do to stop it.

December 16th, 2007 at 10:57 pmAnd Yippie,
I’ll ask again: will you state unequivocally that if another attack happens during Bush’s term then it is his fault?
If not, you can’t give him credit because there hasn’t been an attack.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:57 pmand thanks for the little *sshole headers and footers on your posts bert - it makes them easier to find and report.
December 16th, 2007 at 10:58 pmYou know which presidents have kept us safe?
Every single one after Lincoln. Seriously. No terrorist attacks on mainland USA during the last oh 200 years or so.
Oh wait there was one notable exception. Who was president during the 9/11 attacks on World Trade Center and the Pentagon?
Hmmmmmmmmmm….
Perhaps Ari ‘AIPAC’ Fleischer got his history mixed up. It is understandable - most Israel first people display a VERY selective historical memory…

December 16th, 2007 at 11:10 pm“So we ought to be saying thank you to the president for keeping us safe these last six yearsâ€
Not according to the sixteen intelligence agencies of the USA who said that Bush’s Iraq policy made us less secure by opening up Iraq to the terrorists, giving them a recruiting tool and base of operations.
Are we also supposed to thank Bush because no major US cities have been destroyed for the past 2 years 3 months??? Are we supposed to thank Reagan, GHWBush, and the CIA for building up al Qaeda, bin Laden, Taliban, Mujahadeen in the first place?

When the Palestinians have a vote, they elect Hamas. When Iraqis have a vote, they elect a pro-Iranian, anti-US government. 90% want us out ASAP. 60% approve of attacks on our troops. Since we are still there, they don’t really have a democracy.

Hillary, like all the democrats/socialists, will increase the size of our government and double our taxes.
Bush increased the size of government by 35% and devalued the dollar by half!
December 16th, 2007 at 11:26 pmBert has apparently abandoned his earlier contention that Bush deserves credit for keeping us safe since he won’t assert the corollary that, by the same token, Bush would be responsible if we were attacked (again) during his term.

This troll -like most trolls- is a little lacking in the self-awareness department. Funny how he plays the victim after he called everyone here “moonbats” in his very first post.
December 16th, 2007 at 11:54 pmI’m sure Bert is Mr. P
December 16th, 2007 at 11:57 pmBut [Huckabee] will serve Republican primary voters […] better if he focused his criticisms on the Democrats who will run against our eventual nominee
Translation: It doesn’t really matter if Huckabee has a point, or whether his criticism of Bush is valid. The only thing that matter is winning the election and keeping the voter’s attention away from Pres Bush’s disastrous record -which is why I won’t spend too much time on that subject… Look! Over there! Something shiny!
December 17th, 2007 at 12:00 amI wouldn’t be surprised, Keith.

Comment by BERT CONVY
Yeah, how about that surge ole Bert. Fat lot of good it’s done. We’re still there, there’s no hope of bringing our boys home, we’re still bankrupting our economy, the Iraqi government no closer to getting their act together and oil is almost $100 a barrel. And, people are still dying every day in Iraq. Not as many as did before, but that’s probably more due to Al Sadar’s cease fire, the fact that ethnic cleansing has made it so there is no one to kill in your neighborhood, and we certainly can’t forget that we are paying our US tax dollars to Shieks so that they won’t continue to kill us.
Yep, that surge is working out quite well, if you are a Republiscum neoCON that is.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:17 amHey Zooey,

Ralph was dumber than Bert and more verbally-challenged. Both had the strange Hillary fixation. Ralph said she was responsible for the destruction of the Minneapolis bridge–that her people placed bombs on it.
Any success of the troops is bad for the dems.

Well, then, I guess that the so-called “success” of the troops wasn’t bad for the Dems. But, keep hoping. I’m sure that’s what keeps you going. I would love to be a fly on the wall the day after election 2008. Your head is going to explode and it isn’t going to be a pretty sight.

Hey, bilbo, great job on the other thread defending us “nutjobs” for the 9/11 events.
I can’t understand why, even among progressives, there is such a blind faith that the govt is uncapable of even planning to kill its own citizens. I just can’t. During shock and awe, they wiped out entire villages full of kids and women, like that, as if they were (and still are) nothing, and renamed as collateral damage.
I guess that if they are white people is unconceivable to plan killing 3,000 of them. Riiight.
December 17th, 2007 at 12:42 amMaybe we should thank Bush for ignoring the warning they got about Bin Laden months before the attack.
It was their plan all along to just let it happen, or maybe even worse.

According to the official Bush Administration party line, the nineteen hijackers came from the following countries: Saudi Arabia (15), United Arab Emirates, the new home of Halliburton (2), Egypt (1) and Lebanon (1).
Excerpt from the July 15, 2007 edition of Editor and Publisher:
“The Los Angeles Times reports today that according to a senior U.S. military officer and Iraqi lawmakers, about 45% of all foreign militants “targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia.†Only 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa. This is based on official U.S. military figures made available to newspaper by the senior officer.
Afghanistan and Iraq are not even mentioned as perpetrators in either of the two preceding paragraphs, however, the United States has invaded and occupies both of those countries, overlooking every country contributing hijackers to the 9/11 cause and foreign militants to Iraq.
The preceding may only make sense to the trolls.
Any trolls care to explain?
December 17th, 2007 at 1:06 amI’ll enjoy seeing what new praise Ari and Mitt have for the Bush administration next week. This weekend, Rep. Robert Wexler’s petition to begin impeachment proceedings immediately for Dick Cheney gathered 50,000 signatures in under 24 hours. Since then and up until this hour it has acquired 1-2,000 new signatures every hour. At this rate, the petition could have half a million signatures within 24 hours.This comes in response to Dennis Kucinich’s bill being sent to the house judiciary committee where democratic leaders had hoped it would vanish.
This response level will be impossible to ignore, and amounts to serious trouble for Bush and Cheney, even though the mainstream media hasn’t caught on yet. Break out the string mops and wringer buckets. Some big league bloodbathing is imminent.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:07 amSorry, my math is wrong. Nine days.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:14 amexactly as many as there have been persuasive, factual posts by righties(or republicans, or independents, or libetarians, or whatever you people are calling yourselves this week) on this website, frank.
but if you think it’s because terrorists are afraid of the cheerleader prince, you’re as vain and dumb as terrorists no doubt believe us all to be.
December 17th, 2007 at 2:07 amWell, there were bombings in Algeria this week. Not to mention the daily attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I would guess there have been thousands of attacks since 9/11.

December 17th, 2007 at 2:43 amA country can’t be a democracy with tens of thousands of foreign troops occupying them during an election.
I mean that is what George W. told the Syrians in regards to removing Syrian troops from Lebanon.
Right?

Under whose watch did the attacks on 9/11 occur, 36 days after the report was given to Bubble Boy, stating, “bin Laden determined to strike”?
And given your self-admitted fascist preferences, he’s covered both ways. If we aren’t attacked again, its because Chimpy has kept us safe and if we are attacked, its because we haven’t surrendered enough freedoms yet.
You are no doubt comforted that your hero is the only Connecticut native to occupy the Oval Office, descended from a long line of Yankee bluebloods, a cheerleader at Andover Prep in MA, rejected by the University of Texas, went to Harvard and then Yale, extensively used alcohol/drugs, avoided serving in Vietnam, is afraid of horses and despite being over 60 years of age, routinely rides a bicycle — a true, macho Texan. Ever seen the statue of Andrew Jackson at the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville, riding a horse, with both front legs elevated off the ground. Perhaps Texas, claiming this wannabe New England-bred cowboy as their own, will erect a statue of their former governor, riding a sting ray bicycle, popping a wheelie.
A couple of quotes by your hero, just for fun…
One of the great things about books is, sometimes there are some fantastic pictures. U.S. News & World Report (January 3, 2000)
Those in authority should take appropriate precautions to protect our citizens. But we will not allow this enemy to win the war by changing our way of life or restricting our freedoms. Remarks by the President In Photo Opportunity with the National Security Team, September 12, 2001 (he must have had his fingers crossed)
But all in all, it’s been a fabulous year for Laura and me. 12/21/2001 White House release
We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They’re illegal. They’re against the United Nations resolutions, and we’ve so far discovered two. And we’ll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven’t found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they’re wrong, we found them. - George W. Bush, May 29, 2003
I’m a war president. On NBC’s Meet the Press, February 8, 2004
I want to be the peace president 21 July 2004
Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we. 5 August 2004
The preceding is only a small sampling.
If he decides to leave office in 2009, why don’t you and those of like mind move to a special location, and hire Chimpy to be your dictator? Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.

Smoking your crack again… eh?
What’s that Frank? Did you just tell me to shut up or what… mail me some of your own powder. But remember, ever since the ANTHRAX ATTACKS they open your mail to inspect.
O.K… I exaggerated a bit.
I don’t think they open ALL the mail.

Hay all,
See this neat trick?
Here’s some details about WHY Kucinich wasn’t allowed in the Iowa Debate, even though Allen Keys NEVER HAS HAD A STORE FRONT OFFICE in Iowa…
Hint: It wasn’t a Democratic Party debate, but instead, one hosted, run, and funded by PRIVATE INTERESTS!

December 17th, 2007 at 8:46 amAnd every time we criticize Bush, the trolls remind us that Bush isn’t running for president in 2008. Yeah, we respond, but his ideology is.
So here we have a candidate who chooses to distance himself from a president who’s very unpopular with the American people, and his fellow Repubs are beating him up for it.
It appears that Bush is on the ballot in 2008 after all. No matter which Repub gets the nomination.
If the GOP was smart, they would be fighting to reclaim their party from the neocons who have driven it into the ground, instead of continuing to cheer the very ideas that the American people are running away from.

Bert was too chickenhawksh!t to answer this question. Would you like to try:
December 17th, 2007 at 10:24 amThe Repukes go where the money is (and all too many Dems as well), and would no more forgo that money than a heroin addict would pass up their next fix.
December 17th, 2007 at 10:26 amand of course, that should actually be “…because there hasn’t been another attack during Bush’s term.”
December 17th, 2007 at 10:35 amThe president has kept us safe?
Ho Ho Ho
Humbug

December 17th, 2007 at 10:54 amAssigning credit to the Bubble Boy for no attacks since 9/11 presumes that he had absolutely no involvement in either allowing it to happen or making it happen.
Seemingly reasonable people, many progressives included, are skeptical about nearly everything the Bush administration says, however, in this one case, are willing to believe and defend every word we’ve been told, to the point of ridiculing others who might have the audacity to say that we need more answers. And this has occurred despite the unprecedented benefits that the Bush administration has received from 9/11 having occurred.
Any reasonable person who studies what is known about this day would conclude that what our government has told us about 9/11 does not make sense. I don’t pretend to know all the answers regarding what occurred that day, however, I do contend that we haven’t been allowed to learn the answers to these questions. And the Bush administration has stonewalled any and all attempts to solve these mysteries at every turn.
Just because the conclusion of a thorough and searching investigation of 9/11 might produce a result that we might no want to face does not mean that we should pretend otherwise. Refusing to go down that path does not and cannot change what occurred on that day no more than refusing to undergo testing to diagnose a rapidly growing, malignant tumor will cause it not to exist.
