Ari saying that Saddam struck us on 9/11 on Tweety's show.

[Fuzz]

This was caught by DU'r tangent90, and I tivo'd back and transcribed it. I thought it deserved it's own thread.

"But after September 11th, having been hit once, how could we take a chance that Saddam might not strike again."

Asshole.

I don't think Tweety even caught it.

[spanone]

1. keeping the lie alive.

[SpiralHawk]

Ptoooey.

[montanacowboy]

35. legacy building is hard werk

[polichick]

4. All they can do now is try to rewrite history...

If Bush was smart, he'd move to that ranch in Paraguay and try to forget.

[Fresh_Start]

6. maybe the entire GOP has been infested with MadCow

disease from all those years of fine dining

[City Lights]

7. Ari lies with remarkable ease. Even for a Republikan. nt

[tangent90]

9. Wait! Is that a Freudian slip? Read it again carefully

"...take a chance that Saddam might NOT strike again"

There's more to that nuance than mere plausible deniability. :scared:

[soothsayer]

10. he'll say he meant we were hit once, so were worried we'd be hit again, this time by saddam

[H2O Man]

11. It's true.

They found Saddam's wallet on the scene, complete with his driver's license and credit cards. How else did it get there?

[malaise]

25. LOL

Well Ari's going to be eaten alive for this lie.

[Ikonoklast]

27. I heard it was a birthday cake, with his name on it.

Happy 9/11 Saddam, And Many More!

Saddam Hussein had less to do with 9/11 than Dick Cheney.

[bridgit]

12. Yes, and he was quite belligerent in his defense of an utterly failed presidency for which

he carried stagnant piss-water daily while obfuscating right through his teeth

[CatWoman]

13. yikes!!! look at the Huff Post front page

MATTHEWS VS. FLEISCHER
Matthews: How Can You Defend Bush?... Fleischer: Chris, How Dare You?

[Fuzz]

15. Scary, they got the quote wrong too. missed 'not'. Went back to confirm it.

[freedom_to_think]

16. Ari still trying that tired, old spin

Here is a link to the video of Hardball with Fleischer.

19. Yikes! Ari looks horrible! Reminds me of that Russian guy that was poisoned.

Either that or his inner evil is eating away at his flesh.

[malaise]

17. It was at the end and Tweety was already pissed

That comment will not escape.

[sohndrsmith]

18. wait for KO - hopefully he'll go over it - or Maddow will.... n/t

[sohndrsmith]

22. KO didn't disappoint. I correct myself - both KO and Maddow will bring it up

because that whole interview was just so purely flabbergasting that it is impossible to ignore....

[barbtries]

20. they just fucking lie

and get away with it. sooo infuriating!

[Hepburn]

21. I caught it and I was stunned that anyone at this point would still be telling that lie.

Ari = Asshole...:puke:

[GoCubsGo]

23. Ari fLIEscher...

...First up against the wall when the revolution comes. He is the embodiment of the word "prick".

[Hepburn]

24. Totally! n/t

[lpbk2713]

26. Right from the rethuglican play book.

Tell a lie often enough and loud enough and sooner or later it becomes accepted as the truth.

[kaygore]

28. I caught that and was surprised that none of the media guys have called him on it

[tavalon]

29. It's still alive.

When can we send Ari to the Hague?

[Philosoraptor]

30. Sickening and pathetic re-writing of RECENT history

[Philosoraptor]

31. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Strelnikov_]

32. We are at war with EastAsia

We have always been at war with EastAsia.

[Vinca]

33. I was yelling at Tweety through the TV to refute it. nt

[PA Democrat]

34. I heard that too, I thought maybe I heard incorrectly because Tweety

didn't bat an eye. Ari has confirmed again and again that he is complicit in the evil actions of Bush and Cheney.

Ari Gets Laughed Out of the White House Briefing Room
... A reporter asked about a French report that says Bush is offering a bundle of concessions (and I think she actually said 'buying votes') to Mexico and Colombia, granting worker amnesty and so on. Ari tap-danced. Then she (the reporter) started to press the issue by saying "they (the French) are quoting two US State Dept. Diplomats that Bush intends to give work permits to Colombia and Mexico." ... Ari just drew himself up with imperious indignation and said something like "you're implying that the President is buying the votes of other nations and that's just not a consideration" ... The whole press corps, normally sheep, broke out in laughter ... They kept on laughing as Ari turned on his heels and strode out ...
