As stated before, if the far right only has Cheney speaking that means the far right is almost dead....No one other than a has-been who has no respect outside of his neocon circle is able to speak right now. Is that sad?

No one under the age of 65 is willing to go out on a limb like this has-been. If anyone other than a has-been would speak out they would be done as politicians, that is why Cheney is the one speaking out. He has nothing to lose by being the sounding board for the rest of his dead party.

Real sad, the far right is so lost that they do not know who they are. The far right is searching for who they are and they will cling to the first person who speaks laud enough, this month it is Cheney.

It is but a matter of time before they follow someone else. Maybe the far right can ask the felon Rev Sun Myung Moon for advice on this matter, he is their biggest supporter.

Obama's administration will never, never resort to waterboarding!

No, "interrogation" will also be outsourced -

May 24 2009 NY Times: U.S. Relies More on Aid of Allies in Terror Cases

"The United States is now relying heavily on foreign intelligence services to capture, interrogate and detain all but the highest-level terrorist suspects seized outside the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to current and former American government officials."

Rest assured though - foreign gov'ts never resort to enhanced interrogation as brutal as having a little water splashed on a suspect's face, or depriving captured terrorists of a little sleep.

Nah, it's only in America...

One thing I believe the entire dick cheney and family all over the news proves, is that the myth of the "liberal media" is just that.

If the media is as liberal as some of our conspiracy theorists would have us think, why would they allow dick cheney the forum to express his misguided opinions? Better yet, why would they allow cheney's daughter, someone even further removed from a position of importance, a forum to defend dick?

I would think the liberal media would shut them out, yet it seems like they have a standing invite to spout nonsense.

I look forward to the rationalization for that.

Stay classy, Taka313.

Thanks sarge. Just for you, I will continue to remain classy.

Good point Taka313 on why Cheney has been given a soapbox to stand on by the far right media. If it were not for the far right media then he would be treated as any loon has-been should be with a cold shoulder.

But with the media today owned by the likes of the

Rev. Sun Myung Moon He owns, UPI, Washington Times, Middle East Times and other smaller outlets.

Rupert Murduch Owns the following news outlets in the United States; The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Marketwatch, The Timesledger Newspapers, The Courier-Life Newspapers in Brooklyn, The Brooklyn Paper, Caribbean Life, The Times-Herald Record, The Weekly Standard , FOX News, if I put his full control it would fill too many pages.

Other Right wing media groups...

Clear Channel Communications

Talon News (Cheney has many close friends here)

American radio network (used to be ABC radio before Citadel Media bought it)

These are just a few right wingers that have given Cheney his soup box.

Anyone that believes that the media is owned by the liberals is falling for the lie. If you are told lies long enough you will begin to believe them.

Most far right wingers would not know what to do if they heard non-neo con news.

Sad how silly folks believe the lies........

Right on, Joe Bigs. As an independent I have to agree - You can't trust "right wingers."

So let's go with the Left's well-known refrain when investigating policy or political acts they regard as "unfair" - "Just follow the money!"

Political donations, 2008 presidential elections:

NBC, NBC Universal: $104,184 to Democrats / $3,150 to Republicans

CBS: $45,508 to Dems / $966 to Republicans

ABC: $17,320 to Dems/ $4,717 to Republicans

[...]

Reuters: $10,745 to Democrats/ $3,450 to Republicans

Washington Post, Newsweek: $4,268 to Democrats/ $0 to Republicans

New York Times, NYT Co: $8,143 to Democrats/ $0 to Republicans

Forgot to mention, looked a bit more and lo and behold Cheney is looking for a book deal out of this whole scream fest.

Show me the money yells Dick!

Teleprompter, you should never let anyone tell you what to think or what to believe. I rather find the facts out for myself. If you want facts they are out there, here is one place to do the research....

http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.php

The site will give you names and the amount of their donations...

BTW, you should have read your own source a bit more. It clearly tells you that the companies did not give the money (like you claimed) but employees did.

To imply that all those major corporation are giving money to the Democrats is stretching the facts a bit.....But stretching the facts is a standard Far Right wing tactic. Same thing that Cheney is doing right now, stretching the facts.....LOL

Facts are one hell of a thing........

Was-been?
presto345 at 09:47 PM JST - 25th May

I have some names for him and has-been isnt on the list.

Oh. Aha. What was his first name again?

taka313: "I would think the liberal media would shut them out, yet it seems like they have a standing invite to spout nonsense"

So now we have taka313 complaining that that the liberal media reports Cheney's comments, ha ha ha!

"dick"

Stay classy, taka.

As are questions.

I asked a couple of them about apples and in return, I get two people screaming oranges in my ear.

Amazing.
