On NewsHour (PBS) 7:31 ET - SAFIRE apologist... He is just crap.

[LittleApple81]

He disagrees with Shields because Shields says that the American people believe that the President did not do the right thing about the intelligence.
Safire is saying no. Americans will say that Bush did everything right, the intelligence community is basically (my words) crap.

[LittleApple81]

1. Safire says that what really "excites" him (he said excites) is the

Yellow Cake because WILSON HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.

WHAT PIECE OF CRAP!!!!!!

[buycitgo]

6. and poor shields, of course, didn't have the wherewithal

to refute him

how sick are you getting of these spineless dems letting the lies go all the time

and he's just letting it go for the SECOND time as I type

this is just too disgusting

[LittleApple81]

2. Reply: Bush* didn't hear the warning given to him by many

people that we would be a Western Nation invading a Muslim country... and ne did not pay attention to any warnings.

3. When i see william Safire

i change the channel, same with David Brooks, i try to do it quick so i can see Mark Shields.

[LittleApple81]

4. I want to know what he says. He is a "RESPECTED" columnist..

Why??? I don't know.

[AlCzervik]

5. "Respected" in his own mind maybe

10 or 15 years ago that might have been true but he's been replaced by other even more wingnutty writers.

[LittleApple81]

7. God!!! He just used the "gay smear" against Kerry and Edwards!

This guy is REAL SCUM!!!!!

[AlCzervik]

14. Yup, he's smearing to get attention

that he used to get.

[dumpster_baby]

8. And did you see the way he worked in the "Kerry & Edwards" are gay meme?!

At the end he worked it in by talking about the way that that they were touching each other. He never said of course that they were gay, but it is pure meme propagation just the same!

[LittleApple81]

9. I agree. This is a talking point... I don't know how these people can

look at themselves on the mirror and not puke.

[LittleApple81]

10. Now we cannot even have PBS as a kind of "harbor" from the talking

points...

[bobbieinok]

13. they have a mind-set...you only care abt civil rights if it affects you

so......since Kerry and Edwards are not violently homophobic and are not concerned about 'the homosexual threat to marriage'......they 'must' be gay

just like there was the constant rumor that FDR and Eleanor were black/Jewish, because they cared about their rights.....

[olddem43]

11. Why would anyone listen to that jackass? He was Agnew's

speech writer, for crissakes!

[LittleApple81]

12. Good question. But he is a syndicated columnist. And appears in

the New York Times... that gives him "legitimacy". The NYT has no respect for itself or its readers any more.
