Hey, that's your darling Newsweek's source, not mine. Are you suggesting their source is not credible?

Lol! There is that tactic again.

Challenge me and mine - and you are pro-terrorist.

An intellectually bankrupt tactic.


A "tactic," Deb?

Throughout this thread I've read various liberals -- including blatham -- state that Newsweek's source for Toiletgate was credible. This, you will recall, is Newsweek's unnamed government source (whom they cited as "sources") who believes he read something about a Koran being thrown in a toilet, but he can't recall where he read it. He maintains the anonymous and unsure source is corroborated by the accounts of suspected terrorists interviewed by the Red Cross. Now, when Newsweek posts another story, this one pointing out that throwing Korans in the toilet appears to have been a tactic of certain Muslims at Gitmo, but in this story they name their source, and it is a spokeman for the Defense Department, blatham responds by indicating the source is NOT credible.

Perhaps not so much a "tactic"?

What that sort of says is that an a$$hole organization like Newsweek finds ways to hire a$$holes, even in other countries.

Setanta says that the President screws up everything he does. As an elitist I am sure that Setanta thinks that he and his fellow elitists are the only ones who have the intelligence that makes them capable of voting for the right person.
Despite Setanta's "screw up everything" comment, the people re-elected Bush in2004.
Apparently they don't agree with Setanta.

Apparently, Chiczaira lacks reading comprehension, and a sense either of irony, or of humor. However, as those abilities, and the abilities to read things in context seem to be not entirely common, i am not surprised.

On the other hand, Setanta may have a point. Perhaps President Bush is emulating Bill Clinton. Not only did Bill "screw up" everything he did, he also screwed up every skirt he saw.

I also know satire, irony and humor when i see it, which puts me in a different category than chiczaira . . . the Clinton part was priceless, that gave me a good laugh . . .


Oh yeah, oh yeah . . . well, well . . . CLINTON STINKS, SO THERE ! ! !


Yup, high class rhetorical exchange, all 'round . . .

He's just making the childish assumption that anyone whom he assumes hates Bush is, ipso facto, a lover of Slick Willy. In his childish world, he can strike back at them by making snotty remarks about Clinton.

It's all very amusing, though, isn't it?

The REPORTER in the two is the same. The SOURCE is not. In the second source we have Lawrence Di Rita who is Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. In addition, he serves as Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense.

I am very much afraid that no one said anything about President Clinton odoriferous qualities, as Setanta suggests. Rather, comment was made about his adolescent inability to keep his pants zippered.

Setanta may not be aware that there is good evidence that Bill Clinton raped one Juanita Broadderick years ago.

"So oft it chances in particular men..shall in the general censure take corruption from that particular fault"

Fits Clinton to a T.
