Coordinated repuke spin this morning: "Nobody knows who Scooter Libby is"

[Lex]

Several repukes on the teevee and radio this a.m. repeating that one talking point.

Saying the American people won't care because no one knows who Libby is anyway.

Buy hey I got news for them, people WILL KNOW who he is after today, dumbasses.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Oh my heavens!

They all have amnesia! Or maybe Alzheimer's? Or they're just plain hypocritical and evil?

[unblock]

2. nobody knew who g. gordon liddy was, either

liddy, libby.
libby, liddy.

hmmm....

[Christa]

5. We all know now ;-) nt.

[HereSince1628]

7. or Timothy McVeigh

They are really stretching to find ways to minimize it.

[Lex]

13. Good point.

I know the repukes count on American stupidity to stay in office, but maybe they are over-expecting on this one.

[Cerridwen]

3. Hopefully, the more they repeat it, more will hear it and more

will know who Scooter Libby is.

Good on 'em.

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

4. Cheney's shadow and alter ego; that's enough to

gain any thinking person's attention, thinking being the operative word.

[Inland]

6. The repugs were referrring to themselves.

"Libby? Never heard of him. Never met him. Never talked to him. Not my friend. "

[Epiphany4z]

8. ya ya ya

maybe not a month ago...but now?....they are a little late on this spin.

[Child_Of_Isis]

9. and if only Libby is indicted

it is "good" for the White House. :crazy:

[tabasco]

10. Vice President's # 1 assistant.

Now they know !

[Coexist]

THEY DO NOW!!! And there are just as many people challenging that

today. It is a fine, fine day.

[annabanana]

11. "no one knew who Colson was either.. pre-watergate.."

Already heard it countered thus (MSNBC)

[julialnyc]

12. if you don't want to be remembered you should come up with a less

catchy name than Scooter!

[Brotherjohn]

14. Ann Coulter pulled this one on NBC yesterday AM. "Until 5 minutes ago...

... I never even knew who Scooter Libby was!"

Which made me think: Why the HELL is she being paid by NBC to do political commentary?

[Supersedeas]

24. Coulter was on CNN too with Mile O'Blockhead on set with Miles

Far Rightwingers sure do have EASY access...but it's a liberal media.

[Dhalgren]

15. I don't understand how this is an effective spin.

That Coulter fellow was saying the same thing yesterday. How does the fact that Libby has had a relatively low-profile over the years make his indictment as Cheney's chief of staff better? There are a lot of high ranking officials in the government who are not household names; does that mean that they are above the law or cannot commit treason? I don't see the efficacy of this particular spin...

[okieinpain]

22. oh they would do it the other way around, if it was just rove they

would all be saying that it's really the vp and his chief of staff running things. It doesn't matter to them they will spin no matter what. what I get pissed about is the so called "liberial media" will not call them on this shit.

[Junkdrawer]

16. I hope Fitz surprises them all...

15 minutes to go...

[insane_cratic_gal]

17. If they don't ... They will now!

[robbedvoter]

18. Nobody knew Benedict Arnold, Osama Bin Ladin either - until events

put them in the forefront of the news. A self defeating strategy.

[hiaasenrocks]

19. Let 'em talk. It won't be long before

people know who Libby is, because Rove is going to flip on Libby's boss and everyone knows who Cheney is!

The right-wing spin machine is terrified. Don't let their giddy front fool you. They know their party is imploding.

[hiaasenrocks]

23. Oh, and by the way.....

Who knew the names of the Watergate burglars before their crime exposed Nixon's entire corrupt White House?

Jesus, these right-wing spinners are fuckin' stupid.

[woodsprite]

20. When I heard Ann Coulter say that this morning, I turned the TV off n/t

[Supersedeas]

27. Amazing the Immediate Access these slime have when needed

[trof]

21. Shades of "Ken who?".

[moobu2]

25. This is so typical

Repukes depend on the uninformed ignorance of the general public, the types that thought (and a lot still do) that Saddam was in league with Al Qaeda and Iraq had WMD’s and on and on.

They have to lie, they have to have an uninformed public and break the law to win.

[snippy]

26. Are they saying that Cheney should have hired a better known criminal

to be his Chief of Staff?

[wordpix]

28. Carl Bernstein on MSNBC/Rita Cosby last night:

Fitzie's indictments aren't the end of the story. CIA leak, forged papers, BushCo defrauding Congress and American people, all are now on Congress' radar screen---this investigation won't be the end of it.

That bastard criminal Gordon Liddy was on with Carl---his spin was that Watergate break-in was really for purpose of spying on the Dem National Committee's call girl ring. ha, ha, LOL. Carl tore Liddy to shreds. Liddy should go back to prison. Why is MSNBC giving him a forum? He's a criminal traitor.

[mtnester]

29. Fun when they slime their own n/t

[yella_dawg]

30. Note to Coulter: Scooter Libby is a ham sandwich. n/t
