My gut feeling is that the reason the U.S. hasn't had another big terrorist attack is PURE LUCK.

The Three Stooges could do better national security than the Chimpites.

i saw amy goodman speak this past weekend in DC (she was awesome, as usual), and she questioned how the MSM differs from state-run media... good question, really

Nope.

There's been no other attack because 9/11 was a one-off. The hijackers were a bunch of amateur fanatics who found the cracks in airline security and exploited them to the max. Once the planes crashed, that was the end of Al Queda's terror campaign. Bin Laden had no follow-up. If his organization had another plot cooked up, don't you think we would all have heard about it long ago?

After 9/11 Bush took over and did Bin Laden's work for him. Like a trained seal.

just wait and see how fast fox turns on a dime once a dem gets elected to the whitehouse.

You know, I bet no-one has ever seen Cheney and Bin Laden in the same room together....

Hope Dana has her resume up to date, looks like she is on her way to follow the slime trail left by Snow, McClellan, and good ol' Fleischer.

And after she went to all the trouble of getting a new hair style.

one word: impeach.

Ummm, nope. They'll ratchet up the vitriol and undercut everything the Dem Prez tries to do. Just like they are now saying that the dems haven't been able to do anything in DC. That they are lame and corrupt.

Problem, their "viewers" buy it all hook line and sinker. So why stop? It's working!

It's working because the majority dems are still passing the repuglikkker agenda. THAT'S why!

Can someone YouTube this?

Or provide a link if it's already been done.

I wish I knew how to do it myself.

Fox Opinion isn't state media, it's corporate/aristocracy media. Someone on here had it right when they asked about how quickly they'll change from unquestioning loyalty to the Oval Office to nonstop smearing and obfuscation toward that same office. The answer: very quickly.

Disagree -- it ain't luck. Bin Laden and his crew are just very patient. Smart, too. They know they don't have to spring a new attack when the terrorism of Cheney-Bush is just as bad as any follow-up they could muster. They're all sitting in nice, plush quarters somewhere in Pakistan doing brainstorming sessions! If we ever get to the point where we're not scared out of our wits 80 percent of the time, then maybe they'll pull something else. Right now, they don't have to. Bush is doing it for them.

On top of that, you KNOW the "next attack" will come at a time when we're not expecting it, and in a manner that we're not expecting. We're still making people take their shoes off at airports, so the bad guys will definitely NOT try the shoe bomb again. Mainly because they know it won't work. Damn shame WE don't recognize that. No, they'll come up with something new and different. And we'll still be trying to prevent the LAST attack rather than the next one.

What's with the vids today? All of them are taking like 10 minutes on my end to down load. I haven't had that problem before. Anyone else having the same problem?

What? No promises to find the leakers? No professing of contempt for the leakers? No outrage over the exposing of an intelligence source? I suppose if the leak has been published by the New York Times instead of Fox News, the White House reaction might have been just a bit different.

Yes, I'm having the same problem in the NE. At worst it was 11kbs on a download. Frustrating, but my dog was happy with more frisbee time.

Yeah, but I have cable. It never takes this long to down load anything here.

Anyhoo, why didn't any of the reporters in the room catch the fact that at first she said it was Fielding that forwarded the tape and transcript then said that Fielding says, well thanks for the offer but you need to direct this info to these people over here? What the hell is wrong with these reporter?

And Ms. Perino is a very bad liar. She really needs to take lessons. Better have Snowjob begin an "Art of Lying to the world 101" class 'cause she sure the hell needs it.

Wonder how Jon Stewart will play this one?

So that was Dana Perino's guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, Right?

You are nothing more than the official state propaganda office masquerading as a “news” service.

Nope. Fox News is a campaign arm of the Republican Party, not a STATE propaganda organ. (Although they've been acting that way while the Repubs are in office.)
Wait 'til there is a Dem administration, then see if FNC acts like a state propoganda org.

My gut feeling is that the reason the U.S. hasn’t had another big terrorist attack is PURE LUCK

The planned poison gas attack on the NY subway system was called off by Zawahiri because it wasn't going to be bigger than 9/11 - he didn't want the feeling of an anticlimax. If he hadn't called it off, I doubt that it would have been prevented.

On top of that, you KNOW the “next attack” will come at a time when we’re not expecting it, and in a manner that we’re not expecting.

Well... we can at least expect an attack when it's not a "high security" day. Why would they attack when we've cooperatively informed them that we're watching more carefully?

When Free Republic posts the home address of this family - just as Malkin did years back to people she had a vendetta against - it brings to mind the radio broadcasts that told where to find Tutsi people so that their listeners could find them and kill them.

See, that is the problem Ms. Perino, as LIAR IN CHIEF for this administration you have to have a real good memory for all the lies you will tell.

Thank you, again Keith, for your solid work!

"Something About Dana" hair day huh?

(Last time I did this, I got called a troll, even though I rarely post here. How's this? I LOVE KEITH OLBERMAN! MY GOD, I WISH I HAD THAT MAN'S FLOW AND STAGE PRESENCE! Do I have permission to post now? Can I say something that isn't "hooray for our side?" But as we say in health care, this might sting a little.)

"And to the people (I use that term loosely) at FOX News? "
So what's with questioning their humanity? This is the second time today; first you expanded on my role model, KO's, baffling use of this, the worst of BillO's tactics:

...."'Because he is not only not enough of a man to do so [apologize], but not enough of a human being.'

"None of them are, Keith. None of them are"

And now with the above remark. Sister, and I use that as my term of greatest endearment, you do us and our cause no good, and much harm, by forgetting to respect the humantiy of even those who would despise you. Even when you think your fellow human beings are not respecting themselves. No one ever has any right to question the humanity of another. Especially not in a liberal democracy that bills itself as the champion of human rights in the world.

Ask Sister Aung San Suu Kyi about it.

The part where she describes how Buddhism applies to regaining democracy is instructive enough. Her answers to the questions about being surrounded by hostile forces, though, are most telling.

For Sister Nicole Bell

O SISTER! MY SISTER
(First voice: Osiris speaks to his beloved Isis; second voice: Luke Skywalker speaks to Leia Skywalker; third voice: we all speak with One voice; fourth voice: .)

My sister is my goddess;
My sister is my wife;

My sister is my Princess,
For whom I bear all
STRIFE!

My sister is my Mother,
Beyond whom

There is no Other.

In sum, O Sister! my Sister! my Sister is my
LIFE!

O BROTHER! MY BROTHER
(First voice: Isis speaks to her beloved Osiris; second voice: a caregiver speaks to a retired pilot; third voice: we all speak with One voice;
fourth voice: .)

My brother is my god; yes,
My brother is my husband, too;

My brother is my Pilot,
For whom I am
Ground crew.

My brother is my Pater, He
Who rhymes with Mater in water;

In sum, O Brother! my Brother! my Brother, He is
YOU!

THIS OLD GOD
[To the tune of "This Old Man"]

This old god
He played Man

He played Man
But then began to harden, stiffen--
Lost his Sister soul!
Let's see old god gently
Home

This old god
He played dead

A crown of soulthorns 'pon his head
Hey god! Wake up! Enliven up in there!
All you're suffering is your nightmare.
That's a good god, give that god a bone
Let's see old god gently
Home

This old god
Hurts so bad

He too often
Gets too mad

Hey god! Wake up! Enlighten up in there!
All your suffering is our nightmare
That's a good god, give that god a bone

Let's see old god

gently

Home

WHAT ARE OUTWARD FORMS?
[Isaac Bickerstaff (1735?-1812?), 1000 Years of Irish Poetry: The Gaelic and Anglo-Irish Poets from Pagan Times to the Present. Kathleen Hoagland, Editor. Old Saybrook, CT: Konecky & Konecky. Copyright 1947, 1975 by the Devin-Adair Co. Reproduced without permission.]

What are outward forms and shows,
To an honest heart compared?
Oft the rustic, wanting those,
Has the nobler portion shared.

Oft we see the homely flower,
Bearing, at the hedges side,
Virtues of more sovereign power
Than the garden's gayest pride.

Is that not Aung San herself? And isn't that each and every one of us, BillO and Rush included, whether they themselves know it or not? The shows they put on only demonstrate how hollow they are. Their misery is our misery. Adding more misery isn't going to help. Mutual dehumanizing and demonizing will lead us all straight to hell.

And after victory, what then? How will we reconcile and live as neighbors with people whose very humanity we doubt? Isn't this sounding a whole lot like what we condemn? That's because every other -ism begins here, with questioning your neighbor's humanity.

I implore you not to stoop to practices you rightly denounce, but to stand tall when attacked.

Sometimes even very pretty people look very UGLY to me. Don't judge a book by its cover.

I am so going to miss Olbermann until we get a dish. Comcast (major right wing contributor) just sent us info that we're now going to have to pay extra to get MSNBC. Hmmmm...someone doesn't like the numbers Olbermann has been pulling in lately?

Remember when cable was the alternative, and we didn't get ads-- BECAUSE WE PAID FOR IT??????

Yeah, kind of puts me in mind of how our bank fees would go waaay down if only we'd give auto tellers a chance. Comcast is soooo transparent. On their local channel, the only talk show they carry is Lars Larson. It's bad enough to actually hear Lars Larson. Believe me, you don't want to see him as well.

Dana Perino the bigger the lie the faster she talks It's like she hopes to avoid roasting in hell for her enabling lies by talking to fast for God to understand

Through intent or neglect, Bush and his administration are traitors. Given the gravity of their culpability and the damage that they can do, they need to be removed. This is yet another instance of a large number of similar cases. Yet "impeachment is off the table".

the junta will do anything to keep their Pravda pipeline greased

It seems pretty clear that Fox News IS Al Queda. The question is who works for who? And of course the Bush administration also is Al Queda! They are all just different branches of the United Fascists of (corporate) America.

Keith is soooo good. Pissing in their faces with the truth. That lying bitch, DP. She is so vile. Her demeanor is just so rank in so many ways. Spoiled little bitch syndrome, daddies girl little witch, lying sack of empty 'business attire'. She gives me the bonafide creeps with every shrill, deceitful word that roles off her crooked tounge. And her 10-mile glassy-eyed gaze, I can just see her at a Fundametalist Christian rally waving her hands in the air singing 'holy holy' with her eyes glazed over. These cult freaks are wicked insane and need to be in treatment for character defect, not running the United States.

[Deleted. Parody Troll-Sitemonitor]

You are nothing more than the official state propaganda office masquerading as a “news” service.

Then lets stop talking about them - boycott Fox News and the Fox station. The more you watch/talk about them - the more $$$$$$$ they make.
