Expose the Left
July 29, 2006

Cross-posted from MsUnderestimated.

“A foreign policy that’s tough and smart.” Yes, that was the mantra of DNC Spokesperson, Karen Finney, who came on the Factor tonight to talk to Laura about Howard Scream’s, er, ah, I mean DEAN’s recent comments calling Iraqi PM Maliki an anti-Semite, comparing Katherine Harris to Josef Stalin, and the other miscellaneous garbage that spews from this miscreant’s pie-hole.

As usual, just like her boss, she wouldn’t answer any direct questions. All she could do was answer with a non-answer, i.e., “we need a new direction.” Laura finally gave up after asking her the first question at least three times, and then moved on. But I swear, by the end of the clip, I still have no clue what Finney said, if anything.

The beautiful thing though is, Laura didn’t let her get away with anything. Way to go Laura! Hey, Fox News… you guys need to give Laura Ingraham her OWN SHOW!

It’s almost pointless to transcribe the exchange, because it’s mostly the same. Here are the basics of it, even though it’s not exact, it’s a conglomeration of the same non-answer she gave three different ways.

Laura: How does calling the Iraqi PM an anti-Semite advance the ball for the Democratic party?

Karen: Well, I actually have a question for the Bush administration. How is it that…

Laura: That’s not how it works…

Karen: Well the unanswered question is why are we spending billions of dollars to support a Prime Minister that refuses to denounce Hezbollah, which is a terrorist organization.

For the rest of the story and the video, go to the original post at MsUnderestimated.

    Asking for a dem’s plan, or what changes they are calling for is like playing ‘Who’s on first’

    The Dem’s plan is basically, vote for us, we’re not them. Vote for change. But exactly what kind of change they tend to hide or dance around. Lots of hyperbole and venting about GWB, but little substance. Change for change sake is foolish. How about some real ideas.

    Two things that don’t seem to be addressed on any of the cable shows, or in print by poloticians:

    1. If the Dems want to get out of Iraq, what exactly is their plan of action then, besides move the troops to Okinawa, what will be the plan of action, step by step, to move onward and upward with the war on terror, as the war is not over from all reports.

    2. I like that we are not “cutting and running”, but what the Bush Administration is not communicating well to the American people is this: here are the mile markers that we are assessing the war on terror with regards to the next steps we take regarding Iraq and our troops.

    I think the impatience with some Americans comes from not understanding the dynamics and details of the plan.

    We don’t need to know about military tactics, as we need those to be clandestine, but I think most people who seem to be having issue with this war, might calm down if they had an understanding of what we are looking for with regard to understanding the level of success by which we make the next move militarily, either by keeping the same amount of troops, drawing down, or beefing up.

    How do we evaluate the success?

    Are there specific things that the Administration is looking for to tell them that we are where we need to be?

    And what will give a strong indication to the Administration that we are moving closer to our goals? Specific and concrete.

    With the Dems, they don’t seem to be able to supply any of us with anything that even remotely looks like a plan; all I hear is a lot of criticism, name-calling and bloviating. If they have a strong step by step plan, they should bring it on. If the Dems are so convinced that they’re right, then I’m sure their plan would resonate with the American people, but my guess is that they don’t.

    Right now the only plan the Dems seem to have is more of the same political tactics that are just bloviating and lobbing drive-by media bumper sticker mentality to the MSM.

    I wrote this letter to Schumer and Clinton on June 23, 2006 – so far, no response and the subject is as strong as ever.

    Bob, she danced around the questions and didn’t answer anything. Irregardless of you liking/not liking Laura, this woman did not answer one question.

    This tactic of being asked a question and then coming back with some sort of distorted counter-factual is not answering the question.

    It’s the biggest reason I wrote the letter to my politicians here in NY and then sent it to the White House and Tony Snow.

    I’m not sure what you thought you were listening to or if maybe because this is such a pervasive tactic with interviewees(sp) that you’ve grown accustomed to it as normal.

    How to you wrestle with the fact that this woman had nothing of substance to offer and avoided answering the questions?

    It’s fine, I get it that you dislike FoxNews, but it has nothing to do with this specific interview and this DNC spokeswoman who wouldn’t answer the questions and have an outline for change.

    After having heard her speak, what did you glean from her talking points? What specifically will the Dems do regarding Foreign Policy?

    MR. SNOW: Look, I’m just not going to play the game. I don’t think any of us—what the Prime Minister is doing is he’s playing a pivotal role in the war on terror, and by setting the example, he’s going to make it clear to everybody that democracy can succeed in the region, despite sectarian strife, despite attempts to assert terror, despite being wedged between Iran and Syria.

    So I think those are the important points. And again, I don’t know if there are going to be subsequent statements out of his government, or not. He has never said he’s for Hezbollah. So what you’re—so what everybody is complaining about is something that he hasn’t said. And it strikes me that that is an attempt to draw American politics—for American politics to become a consideration, rather than realize—why did he come here? He came here because he’s fighting a war on terror on his own soil.

    Q And since he’s an ally, wouldn’t you expect him to speak out about it?

    MR. SNOW: You know, we understand that allies have their own concerns, and what we’re not going to do is to say to the Prime Minister, this is what you should say. We’re not going to tell him, we want you to issue a statement against Hezbollah. It’s inappropriate. He’s the head of a sovereign state. He has the ability to say what he thinks, or, if he chooses not to answer the question, he has that right, too.

    McGubbin was the only frequent commenter on this site who ever thought that Media Matters was any kind of respectable entity, so it was a dead giveaway that he is now disguising himself with a different username.

    I wonder why tough guy Bill had to change his name?

    Did his relentless childish insults and name-calling without adding anything of substance to the debate finally catch up to him since NOBODY ever took him seriously?

    I never mentioned the word “hypocrisy” in my post #22, but “Barry” did mention the word in the aforementioned thread I was referring to in my last post.

    Now, Mr. Bill suddenly “reappears” just FOURTEEN MINUTES after I exposed him to everyone and called him on his complete failure to disguise himself.

    Easy on the eyes is right, LI is yumbo.

    The earlier poster is correct about people not understanding politics and how it works in this situation.

    Maliki is in a precarious spot, leader of an emerging democracy and a shiite, he has to be very careful how he treads.

    With the Iraq situation tenuous, why create further tension over something that Iraq really doesnt have a large involvement in? Leave it alone, bark a few platitudes and get on with your own business.

    This segment was NOT about Laura’s personality or that of her guest, it was not about whether someone hates or loves FOX News, it was about two things: (1) How does Howard Dean or others calling people names contribute to the our victory in the war on terror? (2) What is the Democrat plan, with specific details, for winning the war on terror and in handling matters like Iran, North Korea or the Middle East Crisis? Complaining about the Bush administration is NOT a stragegy, it is NOT a plan for victory, it is only selfish, souless, wholly unhelpful carping by small minded, power hungry fools.

    Those speaking for the Democratic Party are unable and/or unwilling to answer direct questions with direct, relevant answers. The entire plan of the Democratic Party is this: a. Express Hatred for President Bush as often and as loudly as possible. b. Daily, attack everything President Bush is doing internationally or domestically, and always avoid offering a different plan that the citizens can fairly evaluate. c. Use every crisis or problem to denouce Bush and his policies and NEVER say, even in general terms what the Democrats would do instead.

    How does this Democrat Party non-plan contribute to victory over terrorism? The simple truth is, they are fighting against America and the President for purely partisan political advantage; and instead of suggesting clear, specific ways to fight the many fires this nation is facing around the Globe, they are content to sit on the sidelines, in safety, and complain about the Fire Chief and the firemen on the front lines. Meanwhile America burns down in the eyes of the world! Instead of grabbing on to a fire hose and helping put out the fires, they are content to cut the hoses and then complain about the leaks and the inability of our brave firefighters to extinquish the fires. Instead of making positive contributions, they attack those doing the job, engage in useless, pointless, juvenile name calling; and then they yell at the top of their voices, please make us the Fire Chief and firefighters and we’ll to do a better job. “How,” we ask? They answer, “never mind, we’ll tell after you give us the job.” “But,” we reply, “what will you do different, please give us the details?” “Wait,” they reply; “trust us, we have told you every day that Bush is the devil, Cheney is the Prince of Oil Darkness, and our soldiers are all rapists and murderers, so you can rest assured we won’t be! We don’t want to tell you what should be done differently, because quite frankly, we don’t know, just trust us!” Then, they continue, “We’ll negotiate with Bin Laden, Hezbollah, Hamas, the terrorists in Iraq and elsewhere, we’ll appease them like we did Kim Jung Il in North Korea and repeat that success everywhere!”

    It is a truth beyond all question that “united we stand and divided we fall;” and the Democrats are only content with sowing the seeds of hate and division. Little do they understand that a house divided against itself cannot stand. But, their lust for power and the chance to advance their socialist agenda is all consuming and it blinds them to the fact that they are, by their divisive, hate filled agenda, insuring our defeat against global terrorism; and they are so comsumed by their hatred of Bush and Republicans, they are incapable of understanding that only if they work with the Administration can we hope to gain victory and keep our nation strong and in leadership for good around the world! Let’s face facts, their return to power is much more important than their love for America!

    I do see laura getting her own show soon. Can you imagine Brit Hume, O’Reilly, Hannity & Colmes and Laura Ingram? That would be a four hour blockbuster that would put the nails in MSNBC’s coffin and only CNN International, an thoroughly anti-American cable, network would survive.

    “FUX News whore”, “What a bitch Laura is!”, “is this a Michelle Malkin fan site or a Laura whatserface fan site? I vote Michelle – less ugly and her voice doesn’t sound like fozzie bear on an angry pill.”

    Ladies and gentlemen, the American left. These are the people who have the ability to cancel out your votes This right here is the reason why you can’t stay home in protest over immigration this fall, because these hate filled psychos will be there. Despite Howard Dean saying that only Republicans have time to wait in voting lines because “a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives”, the truth of the matter is it’s these whacked out college kids still living off mommy and daddy’s checkbook, as well as trustfund babies, and other rich yuppies who has an easier time making it to the voting booth. I’m not going to get in to the whole obvious fact that it’s in fact liberals who get more of their donations from rich people etc., other than to say that here in Vermont we’re one of the most liberal states in the country. It’s also very tough to get by up here unless you’re pulling 6 digits (which I’m not even close to doing, before we go that route)

    Anyway, just look at what the American liberal is.. it’s on display in these threads every day.

    That being said, I’m gladd MsUnderestimated posted this because I wrote Ian an email last night hoping he would have it. This is the PERFECT example of what we mean when we say the Dems have no plan. This broad is supposed to be the DNC communications director!? What is one thing she communicated during that entire segment? That she doesn’t know how to answer a question? Or just that she’s so blinded by her own liberal dishonesty (a prerequisite) that she’s not even aware when she’s not answering a question (psst… bring your A game when you come on Fox or don’t show up. This ain’t CNN/your soapbox)

    Back to the point, I just can’t even begin to express how shameful these Democrats are. Just watch the video. I don’t care what side of the aisle you are on, you have to admit that this “director of communications” did, arguably the worst job “making the case” for the Dems, ever. Just proving what we always say, sense she would be the one, if anyone, could verbalize their ideas/plans. Just watch it, and if you can’t grasp why we have no respect for modern Democrats and … Whatever, I don’t know why I’m bothering, the segment speaks for itself. If you don’t get it, then you’re lying.

    1. Yes, although not the best example of one, I am a Christian.
    2. No, all Americans are not Christian, we are a society representing almost every religion on earth.
    3. My family is multi-racial and my grandson, my best buddy is an African-American, one granddaughter is Asian, we have Hispanics, and my sister and late brother are half-blood Cherokee Indians. So, to answer your question directly, yes, like all Americans I am a racist, right?
    4. Europeans have surrendered much of the Christian faith, Muslims are becoming quite dominant there, and Europeans are increasingly afraid to stand up against extremist Muslims for fear of offending their Mulsim populations and inciting violence in their streets.
    5. Liberals are destroying our Judeo-Christian culture in favor of the European model of a purely secular state, and one intent upon appeasement at all costs.

    It means that BOR is destroying his competition by a significantly WIDER margin than he did just one month ago before the war between Israel and Hezbollah began.

    So much for being a “slacker.”

    Perhaps that is a clear indication that people must trust BOR to report the news and facts surrounding major stories and conflicts as opposed to our friends at CNN and MSNBC.

    It also means that O’Reilly’s mere INCREASE in viewers over the past month is actually larger than Keith Olbermann has TOTAL viewers.

    Given these indisputable facts, I wouldn’t be lighting up your victory cigar anytime soon if I were in your shoes.

    Maybe they don’t have answers. I was torn in the last election and wasn’t sure if I should cast my vote for W or not. I encountered some Kerry fans outside the Navy Exchange at Pearl Harbor and asked them what his plans were for securing the country, securing Iraq, securing our border; you know general questions probably most of us had. They said something along the lines of the fact that he’s formulating a plan and we will learn that plan on January 20, 05, when he assumes office after having a chance to really get all the intelligence he does not have access to now. I said that wasn’t an answer but it seems to be the standard answer. I don’t know how many of you remember the change for change sake in the election of 1976? My parents were children during the Great Depression (my paternal Grandfather worked, my maternal Grandfather did not)and both said that there wasn’t the malaise there was during the Carter years.

    Tc Tac toejam and others: I thought you might find this interesting.

    History Lesson:

    About the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution,in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

    “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist
    as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

    “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the
    beginning of history, has been about 200 years.

    During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

    1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
    2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
    3. From courage to liberty;
    4. From liberty to abundance;
    5. From abundance to complacency;
    6. From complacency to apathy;
    7. From apathy to dependence;
    8. From dependence back into bondage ”

    Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St.
    Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the
    2000 Presidential election:

    “Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million, Bush: 143 million;

    Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000, Bush: 2,427,000;

    States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29;

    Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore: 13.2;
    Bush: 2.1;

    Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore’s territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare…”

    Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
    “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of
    democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation’s population already
    having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.

    Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

    PS . If the Senate grants Amnesty and citizenship to 20 million
    criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then goodbye USA in less than 5 years

    Hmmm…another way to read post #65 is, wealthy landowners (the “already-haves”, old money, etc.) supported Bush . Those who are trapped in the cycle of poverty supported Gore.

    It would be interesting to see what percentage of the people voted at all in the Gore-supporting areas. Probably not a very big number. Maybe those who did represent the best of the downtrodden, those who are seeking a way up the ladder.

    Then again, maybe not. But it’s easy to take a few facts & paint a pretty picture of whatever you want. It’s slightly harder to exercise your discernment and recognize the flim-flam.

    Why are they trapped in the cycle of poverty? Haven’t many very poor people worked hard and broken the cycle of poverty in their lives and lifted others out of poverty with them? If so, then no on eis trapped, except by their lack of initiative, desire and hard work. Further, I would submit that it was the welfare society itself that trapped so many people in poverty, for whenever you remove the incentive to reach out of life’s circumstance, by enslaving people to the welfare state, it is the government itself that has created the cycle of poverty. Which party is responsible for the welfare state? Can you spell D E M O C R A T S?

Which party is responsible for the welfare state? Can you spell D E M O C R A T S?

    Good thinking batman. Let’s go back to the founding fathers’ intentions – only male landowners can vote. We can’t have riff-raff deciding elections, can we?

    Oh, and while we’re at it, no nigrahs either. That will be a good, god fearing society.

    So what you’re saying Bill, is that you can’t argue any of Umnu’s points, so you go to the played out “republicans are racists and sexists” line to avoid having to make any real points? Par for the course for a liberal I guess.

    Umnumzana, great post and I noticed that Bill never answers any posts that pose questions to him about solutions or understanding. His main purpose is to behave much like the drive-by MSM, he just lobbs ridiculous attempts at humor with certainly no attempt at logic or reasoning.

    Let’s see, count to 20 and he’ll have his next inane, banal response for which he submits as evidence to his “cleverness” but just proves his incompetence.

    I think that only those who own property should be allowed to vote on raising property taxes.

    Maybe they don’t have answers. I was torn in the last election and wasn’t sure if I should cast my vote for W or not. I encountered some Kerry fans outside the Navy Exchange at Pearl Harbor and asked them what his plans were for securing the country, securing Iraq, securing our border; you know general questions probably most of us had. They said something along the lines of the fact that he’s formulating a plan and we will learn that plan on January 20, 05, when he assumes office after having a chance to really get all the intelligence he does not have access to now. I said that wasn’t an answer but it seems to be the standard answer. I don’t know how many of you remember the change for change sake in the election of 1976? My parents were children during the Great Depression (my paternal Grandfather worked, my maternal Grandfather did not)and both said that there wasn’t the malaise there was during the Carter years.

    Kerry coudn’t tell us his plan before the election, but he knew for sure GWB had a secret plan to reinstitute the draft in January of 05 if he was re-elected.
    What ever happened to the JFK democrat party? This current crop of dems is nothing short of sad.

    IF you’d warm up your brain, you might get a grip of the idea of sarcasm. Umnnum is, as usual, arguing for some kind of incremental return to New England puritanism. His argument, in essence, was that you have to be a stupid criminal to vote democrat. Which is, well… neanderthal.

    Got it?

    Tc Tac toejam and others: I thought you might find this interesting.

    History Lesson:

    About the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution,in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

    “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist
    as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

    “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the
    beginning of history, has been about 200 years.

    During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

    1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
    2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
    3. From courage to liberty;
    4. From liberty to abundance;
    5. From abundance to complacency;
    6. From complacency to apathy;
    7. From apathy to dependence;
    8. From dependence back into bondage ”

    Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St.
    Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the
    2000 Presidential election:

    “Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million, Bush: 143 million;

    Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000, Bush: 2,427,000;

    States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29;

    Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore: 13.2;
    Bush: 2.1;

    Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore’s territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare…”

    Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
    “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of
    democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation’s population already
    having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.

    Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

    PS . If the Senate grants Amnesty and citizenship to 20 million
    criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then goodbye USA in less than 5 years

    Another fine post for Umnumzana.

    Here is a visual illustration of how Bush actually dominated the US in both the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections when you break it down county-by-county.

    http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/countymap2000.htm

    The fact of the matter is, both Gore and Kerry received most of their support from the cities, but suburban America and “flyover country” largely supported President Bush.

    That is a bitter pill the Democrats have to swallow, but with the DNC leadership of people like Howard Dean who is embracing the FAR Left faction of the Party, they are continuously digging themselves into a deeper hole that they are going to have a really hard time climbing out by the time the 2008 Presidential Election is upon us.

    A little prediction:

    The Dems will be very disappointed this November after they fail in their attempt to take back Congress in the midterm elections.

    Howard Dean will have proven even further to be a dismal failure in getting the Dems’ “message” out there and the Party will toss Dean overboard and elect a new DNC Chairman in January of 2007.

    Um and Anaconda, what great posts – it almost surprises me that USA Today would post a graphic like that since it supports President Bush so much, but…I like it!

    Great Stuff!

    I agree with your prediction. The greatest problem the Democrats have is that they have no plan of action, they cannot communicate with the American people in a way that convinces them that they are the better party to be in control, and they continue to manipulate the media and use sound bites as a means of politics rather than action, which everyone sees through quite quickly.

    Truly, if the Democrats came out with a plan, concrete and specific, that outlined what they would do to “turn around this country” (given their premised that it’s in dismal failure) they might get some folks on their side, but they can’t do it. They’re just not evolved enough as of yet.

    I think they want another “celebrity type” in the White House like Bill Clinton. Wow, he could play the saxaphone; he knows Barbra “I’m an eternal victim” Streisand, and “he behaves like me, flaws and all, having sex outside his marriage, disgracing the Presidency, he’s just like me”.

    I think most of of us know the Dems DO have a plan. They just can’t come clean with it, because they know it wouldn’t help them. It won’t sell to mainstream America. They are smart enough to know that. It’s partly why after picking lefty’s for their prez nominee they quickly move them to the center. To try and fool the masses. Can anyone tell me what part of John Kerry’s 20 year senate record he ran on? What were his big accomplishments there? Which ones did he tout on the campaign trail?
