Just got back form California and I noticed the lying left continues. First we have Bob Novak pointing out a Howard Dean laugher:
Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, arrived at CBS's Washington studios Sunday with one unusual talking point for his "Face the Nation" interview clearly in mind. He claimed Iraqi women were better off under Saddam Hussein's barbarous regime than they are likely to be under the nascent democracy. In fact, he said it three times.
Rush Limbaugh points out lies about his position on Cindy Sheehan:
When I say, "Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett, her story is nothing more than forged documents, there's nothing about it that's real including the mainstream media's glomming onto it," meaning the whole thing is staged. The whole event is staged. I have just said three days earlier and every day hence that she lost her son, and anybody who cares to research my website and listen to this program knows it. To then put out a message that I think she's lying about her son even being alive, that she didn't have a son, and she didn't have a son that died in Iraq, shows the desperation and the depths to which the people on the left will go to discredit people like me who they consider are their enemies because they cannot beat us in the arena of ideas.
Limbaugh further explains how the left doesn’t want us to focus on what Sheehan says, because much of it is dishonest:
The real interesting thing to me is these people are totally ignoring what Cindy Sheehan is saying. She is, apparently, their story. She is their God's gift that's just been handed to them to keep the Bush bash-up and in rhythm, and they ignore what she is saying, and they want to focus on everybody who's criticizing the whole element of movement that surrounds this Cindy Sheehan story -- and to me they're missing all of that on purpose. They don't want any scrutiny of what Sheehan is saying.
That's why they come up with this asinine indefensible phrase that she has "absolute moral authority." Because she lost a son in Iraq, she can criticize anybody and lie and say whatever she wants, as can her supporters, but nobody can call attention to her lies or the way she's being used because she has absolutely moral authority? Is that what we've come to now? You lose a son, or a daughter in Iraq and you are insulated from criticism and you have a license to lie as long as you're doing it about George W. Bush? What is this "absolute moral authority" business? These people are tattering, folks. They're shredding. They're coming apart intellectually, emotionally, and every which way. They have no substance whatsoever that backs them up. They're standing in quicksand as I've always been saying -- and they know it, and they're lashing out. The thing that's got them upset is that Sheehan is not working. It's not affecting anything. It's not changing public opinion. It is not affecting Bush's policy one way or another, one iota, and so they just continue to get more extreme and outrageous, and try to discredit the critics. Here's the latest that we've learned about Cindy Sheehan. This is from a speech that she made during a rally at San Francisco State University April 27, 2005. I can't repeat all of this because it's profane and obscene. She said, "We're not waging a war on terror in this country. We're waging a war of terror. The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush." She's got absolute moral authority, so you can't question that, folks. Sheehan is demanding a second meeting with Bush. She said, "We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. It will be contaminated for practically eternity now." We can't question this. She has absolute moral authority.
"They're a bunch of [bleep]ing hypocrites, and we just need to rise up..." Sheehan said of the Bush administration. "If George Bush believes his rhetoric and his b-- s---," and she said the word, "that this is a war for freedom and democracy, that he's spreading freedom and democracy, does he think every person he kills makes Iraq more free? The whole world is damaged. Our humanity is damaged. If he thinks that it's so important for Iraq to have a US-imposed sense of freedom and democracy, then he needs to sign up his two party-animal girls. They need to go to this war," and of course the left thinks that's a brilliant analogy: "[A]ren’t willing to send your own children, or if you’re not willing to go die yourself, then you bring there rest of our kids home now. It is despicable what they’re [blanking] doing." We can't question this. She has absolute moral authority. Nobody focuses on what she's saying. They don't dare. All they do is tell you she's an out-of-sorts mom who desperately wants to meet with Bush, but Bush is so mean and insensitive he doesn't care and he's avoiding her because he's afraid of her. But when you get into the specifics of this they don't hold up and they can't handle it and so they have to start lying about people like me and discrediting people like me, but they fail each time they do it because they're lying. Their whole movement, all of their efforts, are based on lies. They can't even be honest about who they are. They can't be honest about what their plans for the country are. They can't be honest about anything, folks, because if they were they'd be finished for good.
Of course the spiraling left South Dakota blogosphere also contributes lies in regard to Sheehan with a Chad Schuldt post. Excerpt:
The right doesn’t get it. It isn’t about Cindy Sheehan. Sure, she puts a genuine human face on the questions so many have tried to ask.
Schuldt again avoids reality and just makes stuff up. Of course the right gets it. It’s not about Cindy Sheehan. It’s about the lying left whose talking points are used as propaganda by the MSM. The fact that conservatives now have a voice and can expose the left’s lies is one of the reasons why Tom Daschle lost. The left South Dakota blogosphere is falling due to the weight of their own lies.
