Hundreds of False Statements Preceded War
UPDATED WITH IMPORTANT LINK BELOW SNIPPET.
First, RIP Heath Ledger. He wasn't my favorite actor, he wasn't an actor I particularly swooned over, he wasn't one I followed diligently, but there was something about him that caused a lot of people to be very shocked when news spread that he died. Tragic.
Onto other news...

Thank you, Bush supporters, for putting on the blinders and following him like sheep. Thank you, for making the planet a worse place to live. Thank you, for parking your brains somewhere near your asses while you let this man FUCK UP OUR COUNTRY. This is supposed to be the land of the free. Now it's just the land of the manipulated and brainless.

Study: False statements preceded war
A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

Certainly enough to qualify for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Wow! they payed some dumb shit to do a study on this... where has this mother fucker been living for the last 8 years? On some remote Island holiday where Mai Tais fall from the trees. The Govt. lied??? No shit Sherlock its documented all up and down the internets, in your papers, on your radios, and on TV... not to MENTIOn IN REAL LIFE TOO!!!! The real question is whether your republican dumbasses are gonna lie still & take it up those elephant bums of theirs? Smart animals my ass!!
Anon 2: What I heave learned over the past 5+ years of blogging about politics is that many people, when faced with having made a poor choice in the backing of a political figure, will go to any length to excuse infractions. I suspect it is due to possibly looking like a fool, or looking as though they are unintelligent.
Unfortunately, they do not realize that people who HAVE been seeing the forest for the trees would be ever so happy to welcome them into the fold. As long as they can take an occassional smack to the back of the head for taking as long as they did to come on over.
Fact is, the majority of citizens, whether Republican or Democrat, want to make this country great. Some issues will differentiate, but the core is that we all want to live in a great country and be happy. We've just been suckers of politicians and media.
mg, you are likely right. Even in this Deep South location I was talking with a guy who is an avid follower of Bull O Really and Flush Limburger. He said "nobody would hold this Administration up as a example of virtue".
But then again, even a fool can sometimes say something accurate.
And yet nowhere in the story was it shown that nutcase uberman George Soros funded and undergirded these organizations and therefore these "studies"--or that in any other context the MSM always make a note to make sure we know money is flowing like government cheese to support "x" finding.
The Democrats had there own hand in this in both word and deed.
Including the aspiring Madame President. The fact that she said it with the intonation of a hyena is beside the point, of course.
I know that this will come as a huge surprise to most everyone out there, but the Westboro Baptist Church is planning on picketing Heath Ledger's US-based memorial service.
Guess they can't afford the air fare for all the assclowns to go to Australia to the funeral.
You know Moxiegrrrl, I for one am ready to admit the country has gone to shit. I always thought that the Republican party embodied good hard working values, and I'm not saying that it doesn't. But I just can't see how their gonna make good on that for folks who aren't wealthy.
Now when I say wealthy I'km not talking lawyer wealthy. I'm talking cheating CEO wealthy. Because even Doctors and Lawyers are taking an econimic hit and I ain't even one of those. I'm basically a ditch digger, just like my Daddy before me. For all our good hard working ditch digging values I still feel like all I've earned from these clowns is a pile of dirt and muddy boots.
I think after all this time I'm starting to pick up that if your out thier in the trenches getting your ass shot off for a pack of lies, at home shoveling shit or in a hospital saving lives your basically a mule for the really wealthy anyway. So from now on I'm gonna vote like a jack ass to save my broke ass.
