The only vids that disappeared were those of people jumping off of the WTC. But there were plenty of still photos of those, even years later, and even in the liberal media you so hate (NYTimes, New Yorker, etc.)

Um...no.

Within minutes of first being shown, what disappeared were videos of those Palestinians jumping around in glee, handing out "sweets" and whatever else those god-forsaken bastards like to do when people die.

That CNN and other news outlets chose to whitewash the open support of the attacks in the Arab world - even way back then - is telling.

Guys, I really love the beating up on the media stuff, really I do. After Bilmore's responsive post to my question about the R's failure to achieve anything they can run on, though, it's clear you've all decided you don't like talking about the Republican record and it's time to Distract.

But I ask you to remember the Rove Mantra: Distract, Distort, Deny.

Please, don't forget to spend some time denying things today, and distort a few Dem's records (distorting media reports doesn't qualify). To help, I give you the latest GOP Radio Salvo on the Democratic Party's Advancement of the Homosexual Agenda -- remember, though, Spanky's been advancing the homosexual agenda, too, so be careful.

Charlie Rangel said that he's going to (i) cut off funding to the troops and (ii) raise taxes.

Who needs to distract?

someone needs to make Pelosi seem centrist.

I believe the Dems can prosper as a party that advocates both fiscal and social responsibility with a healthy dose of libertarianism, and can appeal to many of the conservatives disheartened by the Rs. Because those people are often with us on a lot of social issues already. . . . No one is going to agree with everyone in either party, but it may be there is increasing common ground as the Dems take the center.

Sorry, I missed this.

Let's see:

Speaker - Pelosi.
Elder statesman - Kerry.
Environmental guru - Gore.
Chair - Judiciary - Conyers.
Chair - House Intelligence - Alcee Hastings
Defense Appropriations - Murtha. (Well, even though he made the deal for the Abscam money, at least he was smart enough not to take it on-camera.)
Chair - Ways and Means - Rangel.
Chair - Govt. Reform - Waxman.

Average "Americans for Democratic Action" liberal-rating score: 97

Yes, you'll certainly be taking the center. I can see the libertarians coming over for sleepovers nightly.

What I remember is, they played constantly for about three or four days, and then - bang - gone - once someone decided that viewers might be mad inappropriately, when what we really ought to have been doing was contemplating what we did to them to make them so justifiably mad at us. Heck, Sidd, there were national talk shows the very next week with people arguing about whether the networks were right to have pulled them so quickly.

Maybe they wanted their advertisers to keep buying spots.

The liberal media and the politicians that they run cover for carefully censour and bias the news to avoid letting the sheeple realise how the Dems' negligence and treason during the 90s led directly to such a brutal and horrific attack on America.

Except when they're running Al Qaeda snuff films?

To my mind, your economic justifications for tax-cut policy are entirely lacking, and don't withstand careful analysis. You disagree--that's fine, but it's not worth debating any more.

Just once I would like you guys to quote me when you critisize my comments. I usually do that courtesy for all of you.

This comment of yours is so vague it is meaningless:

"your economic justifications for tax-cut policy are entirely lacking"

What tax cut policy? What justification?

No worries. Don't forget Ty's questions, also.

I think this is the holy economic grail -- getting a strong economy without the inflationary pressures. Back in the day, my senior research paper was a compare/contrast of the policy decisions that led to a high inflation / high growth economy in France and a low inflation / low growth economy in Germany (you can date me from this) -- the question being, could anyone but the Japanese, with their odd, export-oriented economy, ever get to a low inflation, high growth economy.

We did during Clinton's term. Ah, those were the days.

Wasn't German monitary policy really tight after the war and didn't they still have high growth? What about the German miracle? Were not Germany and Japan the highest perfornimg economies after the war and they both had the tightest monetary policies?

When Singapore performed its miracle, didn't it have a tight monetary policy? Same with Hong Kong?

Did the Asian Tigers during their massive expansions have rampant inflation?

Sleepovers!?!? Frankly, bilmoore, I wouldn't fuck Pelosi with Hillary's dick.

Very good - a bit of the old distort combined with the distract.

Back to the Republican Record. Since you've raised the question of Ways and Means Committee Chairmen, how about a quote from the current Republican occupant: "As members, you deserve better judgment from me, and you'll get it. Because of my poor judgment, those outside the House who want to trivialize, marginalize and debase this institution were given an opportunity to do so. " Remember that episode? Where the Capitol Police were called to silence the Dems trying to speak on a last-minute bill change?

Why are people fed up? The endless partisan shenanigans of the Rs, of the DeLays, the Haserts, and the Thomases wears thin.

Yes, we know. It's the media's fault, it's Clinton's fault, we would have done something if the media and Clinton and all those others hadn't gotten in the way -- and look -- under the Dems we'll all have to bow down to Mecca, Rangel's going to cut off funds and raise taxes, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Yes, forcing the President to go through Rangel to get a budget approved would be a damn good thing -- it will force compromise and force accountability. And putting Rangel instead of Thomas or his R successor between the Republicans and another round of pork for Alabama is also a good thing.

Bilmore, you can start with the one about North Korea, seeing as how the board is fairly familiar with that issue just now.

So you are admitting that Al Jazeera is collaborating with the Dems. I assumed as much. Sad. Why do the dems hate America?
