Disproportionate Force - Intellectually Speaking (VIDEO)

July 29th, 2006 at 05:29 by MsUnderestimated

“A foreign policy that’s tough and smart.” Yes, that was the mantra of DNC Spokesperson, Karen Finney, who came on the Factor tonight to talk to Laura about Howard Scream’s, er, ah, I mean DEAN’s recent comments calling Iraqi PM Maliki an anti-Semite, comparing Katherine Harris to Josef Stalin, and the other miscellaneous garbage that spews from this miscreant’s pie-hole.

As usual, just like her boss, she wouldn’t answer any direct questions. All she could do was answer with a non-answer, i.e., “we need a new direction.” Laura finally gave up after asking her the first question at least three times, and then moved on. But I swear, by the end of the clip, I still have no clue what Finney said, if anything.

The beautiful thing though is, Laura didn’t let her get away with anything. Way to go Laura! Hey, Fox News… you guys need to give Laura Ingraham her OWN SHOW!

It’s almost pointless to transcribe the exchange, because it’s mostly the same. Here are the basics of it, even though it’s not exact, it’s a conglomeration of the same non-answer she gave three different ways.

Laura: How does calling the Iraqi PM an anti-Semite advance the ball for the Democratic party?

Karen: Well, I actually have a question for the Bush administration. How is it that…

Laura: That’s not how it works…

Karen: Well the unanswered question is why are we spending billions of dollars to support a Prime Minister that refuses to denounce Hezbollah, which is a terrorist organization.

*sigh*…. I guess they really never get tired of hearing themselves talk. Oh, and yeah, she couldn’t help herself by throwing in the typical Bush is distracted from the Middle East, we didn’t go after Usama bin Laden, we’re outsourcing our security, we need a change in strategy, we shouldn’t just “stay the course,” we need responsible redeployment, the United States isn’t “engaged” and we need a foreign policy that’s “tough and smart.” They want to secure the ports and borders, and the icing on the cake….. We have to enact the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations! What an absolute boondoggle! This twit is absolutely as mindless as is Howard Dean, and that’s really saying something. But as I’ve said before, I’m all for Dean keeping the DNC Chair permanently. He’s the best thing that’s happened for the Republican party.

But, in the end, did Finney describe what that “tough and smart” policy they will implement is? You guessed it….Nope! But then again, what else do you expect from such an utterly looney-tunes, worthless bunch like the DNC?

Laura was the winner by an intellectual knockout. But then again, you can’t expect anything less when a political heavyweight like Laura goes against a featherweight like Finney.

Be Really Rude and Act Like You’re 12 Years Old (VIDEO)

July 29th, 2006 at 04:10 by MsUnderestimated

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, was brave enough to come on with Laura tonight to talk about the recent heckling incidents on Capitol Hill. Laura didn’t hold anything back - and I love her for that! She did it all, however, with finesse. Medea, as usual, was waiting for the Mother Wheel to beam her back up.

As usual, the Code Pinkos don’t have any real plan, and for the life of me, I’ll never understand how they continue to sell their garbage to the gullible left. At one point, Laura tells her her ideas are a “John Lennon song - not a plan.” If you listen to one of them, all you have to do is record it and you can play it back over any video on TV of any activist, and it won’t make a difference. The voice may not match, but the words are all the same. Blah blah, and more blah. Laura starts out by remarking that Medea was charged with Disruption of Congress, and asks her about that.

Here’s a partial transcript:

Laura: You don’t have any leg irons on you or handcuffs or anything? They sprung you, eh?

Medea: That’s right, and I must say you look very pretty in pink, Laura.

Laura: Well, I would like to say that I was wearing it for you, but it was the only thing in my closet.

Okay, here’s my question to you: How does heckling help the cause of human rights. I would assume you would agree that you’re a human rights activist, right?

Medea: I don’t like the word “heckling,” I would say we were speaking…

Laura: Well that’s what you were doing.

Medea: …well, that’s the word you use, but we were saying, we were speaking up for the people who weren’t being heard. We tried through many means to meet with the Prime Minister. We called his office before he came.

Laura: Are you kidding me?

Medea: Oh, no, I’m serious!

Laura: You actually thought that you were going to meet with the Prime Minister of Iraq?

Medea: We came very close; we spoke to the Ambassador three times, and he said he got us a meeting and then they never showed up for it. So we didn’t have a chance. He spoke to George Bush, he spoke to Congress, but…

Laura: Why should he meet with Code Pink?

Medea: Just because we represent now the majority voice of the United States.

Laura: Oh, so Code Pink speaks for the majority of Americans?

Medea: Have you seen the latest poll of the New York Times?

Laura: Do you think that the majority of Americans see what you guys did this week on Capitol Hill, and are going “Yeah, BE RUDE to the Iraqi Prime Minister! Yeah, be really rude and act like you’re about 12 years old when the U.N. Ambassador, who is trying to represent our country’s interests, is up on Capitol Hill testifying!” You think people really think you guys are cool for doing that?

Medea goes on the rant about us not going after Usama bin Laden, who was responsible for 9/11, and that we should have never been in Iraq. Laura tells her she thinks she should try giving those talking points on a military base in Iraq and see how far she gets.

And what a hilarious ending, telling Funky Cold Medea, “well, I’m glad you’re out of jail.” And oh, Medea? Not all pinks match - that polka dot skirt you were wearing… well, never mind. They should have a warning sign at all security points on Capitol Hill and elsewhere where politicians gather to be extra cautious when it comes to unfashionable, homely women wearing nothing but pink. They can put that bulletin right next to the “Warning!” picture of Cynthia McKinney.

10,000 Katyusha Rockets Are Enough! (VIDEO)

July 29th, 2006 at 03:13 by MsUnderestimated

Well, I think Fox must have gotten all of our emails from last Friday (at least I can hope they did) and paid attention to them, because Laura Ingraham again sat in for Bill O’Reilly for what has become his now frequent Friday night absenteeism. Last Friday night was apparently not just a fluke - Laura was AND is brilliant. She shone again tonight.

The Talking Points Memo was fantastic, and Laura reminds us of how crazy it is that many are acting like lemmings, jumping off the “let’s condemn Israel” cliff together. The first segment guests were Dan Senor, former Coalition Provisional Authority spokesman, and Kawal Nawash of the “Free Muslim Coalition.”

Part of the exchange went like this:

Kamal: You said something in the introduction that, you said that when Hezbollah first attacked Israel, the Arab governments criticized Hezbollah.

Laura: They don’t want to destroy them too much, don’t want to destroy them too much.

Kamal: The disagreement came is that when Israel… they wanted Israel to attack Hezbollah, attack Hezbollah…

Laura: Hezbollah hides in neighborhoods; in residential neighborhoods.

Kamal: Okay, that is fine, but Israel also attacked ALL of Lebanon. They attacked non-Hezbollah infrastructure.

Laura: No, no, no, no, no, no… I know what your comments on that are. You know what…

Kamal: ….they attacked the airport…

Laura: Why did they attack the airport?

Kamal: What, they don’t new supplies?

Laura: Why did they attack the bridge, why did they hit that bridge?

Kamal: (unintelligible)

Laura: Ten thousand Katyusha rockets are enough! They don’t want another 10,000.

Kamal: All Israel had to say is that ‘if any plane land, we would shoot it.’ But you see, here’s what happened…even the Christians… even the Christians…

Laura: Christians are criticizing the Hezbollah today, even in the New York Times today.

Kamal went on to say that his organization was very much involved, they read all the regional local publications, and talked about how Arabs at first supported Israel, but now they’re “upset.”

Laura: If I hear ‘disproportionate force’ one more time, I’m going to lose it.

Kamal: No that’s not disproportionate; I agree with what Israel is doing. I’m saying they should have focused their attack on the Hezbollah infrastructure. When they attack Lebanese infrastructure…

Laura: Hezbollah makes it impossible to do that because of the way that they operate. They are chicken, they are chicken! Their own leader is hiding probably in an embassy, if that report is accurate. Dan, I’m going to give you the last word.

Dan: Two things… One, Laura, to your point; Hezbollah has a longstanding practice of locating their weapons and basing their operations out of civilian areas. To say that Israel shouldn’t attack civilian areas, is to say that Israel shouldn’t attack Hezbollah. Hezbollah is to blame for the violence in these civilian areas; not Israel.

Kamal was talking out of both sides of his mouth, saying ‘no, it was not disproportionate, they just should have stuck to Hezbollah infrastructure.’ What the hell does that mean when Hezbollah has seats in the government? I agree with Laura -Hezbollah are chicken, and the head rooster is the lunatic weird-beard running Iran. If they keep screwing around, the eagle is going to have to fly into that coop and start plucking some chickens itself.
