Countdown chatting of Koran story and Downing street memo now

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

1. showing clip of Gen Myers said the riots are NOT about Koran story!!

this was last Thrusday!! --so--Myers lying with a straight face!!

[rodeodance]

3. Keith--something sounds fishy. Craig.C saying Pentagon did not respond

when Newsweek wanted them to comment on the story. and also talked of Scotty coming out and commenting at a newsconfernce today--which KO says her rarely does.

[sarcasmo]

2. Attack the Messenger man does Keith make sense or what.

[rodeodance]

4. go for it Keith!! Disconnect between WH and Chief of staff!!

[rodeodance]

6. Craig C. wonders if WH sets up the media by NOT responding and not

raising the issue when offered by Newsweek prior to printing the story.

[Cha]

11. Like they did Dan Rather?

And what's the chimphouse have against newsweak? issikoff has been kissing a lot of fascist ass the last few years!

[zoeb]

20. NBC and Newsweek are

the media most critical of Bushco's policies.

[Cha]

29. nbc=GE?

That nbc? Could have fooled me..the way matt lauer and katie couric always give passes to neoconjobs and grill Michael Moore like it was the Spanish Inquisition!

And brian williams..the original fascistass kisser?

[zoeb]

45. Sorry CBS n/t

[Cha]

46. Oh Good!

Makes more sense. :toast:

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. I think he's not quite right.

I think the stories are true but the sources are a set up which shifts the focus from the story to the source and the media outlet.

[rodeodance]

21. but the sourse was a "senior government US--official" who is now

the retractor.

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. Or the source was a senior government US official who is now...

out of a job.

[zoeb]

14. it reeks of a setup

Craig made a point that the government sourced the story then went after newsweek after it went to print.

[rodeodance]

24. yes, Craig did good.

[Catchawave]

5. Thanks Rodeo....watching :)

[rodeodance]

7. bizzarre--gov sourcing the story (initiall)--then retracting, then blaming

Newsweek--says Craig C. Good for him!!

[rodeodance]

8. Keith wondering why cause rioting and not with abuse stories

[rodeodance]

12. US fears= attach on Islam--using Koran as a tool!! --and not going

after terrorism per say.

[zoeb]

great point

int the scope of torture, they riot on a Quran flushing story. doesn't make sense to me.

[shraby]

9. He's socking it to them!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. I cannot wait until the Crawford book is released in the fall.

I like the way KO tied in the same tactic with the Rather memo.

[rodeodance]

15. yes, good for Keith. But reporter saying it is possible that this could

have happened. YES, it IS possible and everyone knows it!! That is why this story is SO terrible.

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. Both Crawford and Rice are saying that Clinton did it too.

When?

[rodeodance]

19. sorry, I missed that part --what did they do?

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. They claimed that Pres. Clinton used the tactic of

attacking the messenger and discrediting the media to divert attention. I don't recall him doing it. At least not this visibly.

[rodeodance]

17. Jack Rice--saying it is POLITICAL-- (WH blaming newsweek). He is

a Fmr. cia operative.

[rodeodance]

18. coming up--the Downing Str memo(gate)

[rodeodance]

25. he is going to make up wait--talking of hurricaines first

[Pacifist Patriot]

28. Drat! I need to get the kids to bed but don't want to miss the

UK memo story. Guess the rugrats stay up late tonight. LOL!

[Pacifist Patriot]

[rodeodance]

33. Rep. Slaughter-NY--saying at first cabinet meeting they talked of

going into Irag.

[rodeodance]

allready investigated intell. what the heck!! say a bunch of crapo.

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. "the truth would be refreshing"

[rodeodance]

36. yeah --i caught that one!!

[rodeodance]

37. KO says critics calling it a 'smoking gun"

[Pacifist Patriot]

38. Oh I LIKE this woman!

[rodeodance]
