    Obama Calls on Bush To Admit Iraq Errors

    Obama Calls on Bush To Admit Iraq Errors


    'Limited' Troop Reduction Urged



    By Peter Slevin
    Washington Post Staff Writer
    Wednesday, November 23, 2005; Page A03



    CHICAGO, Nov. 22 -- Sen. Barack Obama said President Bush should admit mistakes in waging the Iraq war and reduce the number of troops stationed there in the next year. But the Illinois Democrat, a longtime opponent of the war, said U.S. forces remain part of a solution in the bitterly divided country and should not be withdrawn immediately.


    Without citing specific numbers, Obama called for a limited drawdown of U.S. troops that would push the fragile Iraqi government to take more responsibility while deploying enough American soldiers to prevent the country from exploding into civil war or ethnic cleansing or a haven for terrorism.

    Obama also faulted the administration for tarring its critics as unpatriotic naysayers and said it launched the war to topple Saddam Hussein in March 2003 without giving either Congress or the American people the full story.


    Straight answers to critical questions. That's what we don't have right now, the high-profile freshman senator told the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. Members of both parties and the American people have now made clear that it is simply not enough for the president to simply say 'We know best' and 'Stay the course.'


    As other Democrats are finding their voice against Iraq policy, Obama took an approach closer to one taken by Senate Foreign Relations Committee colleague Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) than to that of Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.). Murtha, a former Marine, called last week for an immediate pullout of nearly 160,000 U.S. troops.


    Four prospective Democratic presidential candidates -- Biden, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.) and former North Carolina senator John Edwards -- have advocated a more gradual approach, with no sudden steps. Biden called Monday for the withdrawal of 50,000 troops by the end of next year and all but 20,000 to 40,000 out by January 2008.


    Obama told the audience of about 500 people that the war has siphoned assets from homeland security and the global anti-terrorism fight. He said the administration's attempt to equate the defeat of the Iraqi insurgency with the defeat of international terrorism is overly narrow and dangerously short-sighted.


    In a 35-minute speech scheduled just days ago, Obama argued that public opinion has raced ahead of politicians in seeking a clearly etched policy that helps produce stability in Iraq and the Middle East without exposing the United States to a war without end -- a war where our goals and our strategies drift aimlessly, regardless of the cost in lives or dollars spent.


    Those of us in Washington have fallen behind the debate that is taking place across America on Iraq. We are failing to provide leadership on this issue, Obama said.


    He maintained that Bush could take politics out of the Iraq discussion once and for all if he would simply go on television and say to the American people: 'Yes, we made mistakes. Yes, there are things I would have done differently. But now that I'm here, I'm willing to work with both Republicans and Democrats to find the most responsible way out.'


    whoops, typing too fast and made errors .. be 4 the spelling police get me
    s
    I caught that too.. Don't know if he
    intended for it to come across the way I took it, but it felt like a dig to whites. Disappointing.
    I caught that
    I just can't stand to watch Keith talk about anything because he always misses the point.  That was my point, which you missed, just like Keith.
    hey republicans, did it hit a nerve?
    For the post of failure=bush to have gotten such a response, IMHAO makes me think we have hit a nerve, LMFAO.  If it meant nothing because they thought their leader was so righteous, so smart, so dang right in his policies, they would have dismissed the post about failure=bush..When you protest so loudly, you prove we are right and it irks you..sigh..too bad..
    This teacher has her nerve.
    1. Graduate from high school.
    Good, I agree.


    2. Get a job - keep it, no matter how much money.

    So she would have her students stay at McDonalds the rest of their lives, no matter how much money they make. Don't strive for anything more (ya know, some older people have this mindset).


    3. Never have a baby out of wedlock.

    This makes me a bad person.

    4. Get married and stay married.

    I hope she explained to them not to stay in an abusive relationship just for the sake of staying married.

    Aside from #1, these are definitely not things that you want to have drilled into a 7th graders mind.

    Definitely don't stop at the principal, they back up the teachers in most cases. BTDT.

    Must have hit a nerve. Good on you. nm

    The nerve? GT you are so full of it. sm
    Take a good long look at page one of the Conservative board. Tell me you see no postings of an inflammatory nature by liberals.  If you did, you would be lying.
    It seems I touched a nerve ~

    Healthcare reform is a much debated subject.  We, the great people of the United States, should adopt the attitude that we can set higher benchmarks in the area of healthcare.  Wouldn't that be something to be proud of?  The great difference between the liberal and conservative stance on healthcare is that we liberals view it as a human issue whereas the conservatives view it as a business. Who is right and who is wrong?  Depends on your personal point of view.  I am certainly not trying to change anyone's fundamental way of thinking, I only want to people to start talking about, researching it, talking to your friends, your neighbors, your family, your doctor, your representatives, and make up your own mind about to make a reality.  I am not endorsing any particular or single proposal that is currently on the table and I am certainly not attacking anyone in particular.


    sounds like I hit a nerve with you...
    So if Obama is elected, which it certainly is going his way, will you move to another country?  Oh and funny how you didn't state what you were doing about the baby pile-up situation.  Guess your hands are "clean" and someone else will have to do that.
    What's a matter, did I hit a nerve?
    Maybe you should put a disclaimer on your posts to make it clear that you are just playing and dreaming.
    LOL, STRUCK A NERVE!!!
    I KNEW that was you!!! You may have changed your posting style a bit but, yep, you're that 'I'm NOT INDIAN, I'M EUROPEAN!' person. I won't even say MT, cuz I'm still not convinced you are in fact at MT with your horrid grammar.

    Hehehehehehe, flame me all you want, chica...I KNOW this is you now!!!
    She wasn't *caught* in anything.
    Stop lying.  You lose all credibility when you do that.
    Biden Caught In A Lie

    Biden caught in a lie





    This really couldn’t have come at a worse time for Joe Biden. Speaking on Fox and Friends, Sen. Biden, the Democrat VP nominee denied reports from ABC news that if elected, he planned on pursuing criminal charges against the Bush Administration.



    “That’s not true. I don’t know where that report’s coming from,” Biden told Fox & Friends.


    Here you go Joe. See if this jogs your memory just a bit.



    Poor old Joe. I expect the “Dump Biden” movement to pick up steam in the next few days.


    h/t FreeRepublic


    yeah, i caught that too.
    x
    I caught this last night. Wow,
    Obama would be wise to find a place somewhere for Mr. Pickins as an energy advisor -- he's got it all figured out!!
    Hmmm....why are you so caught up in what's on
    --
    ROFL! Strike a nerve, did I??????

    I'm one of the happiest people you'd ever want to meet. 


    I just have zero tolerance and respect for people who exploit God and Jesus to further their own angry, hateful, lying platforms.


    I was brought up to believe that God and Jesus represent love and peace and truth.  There is nothing about you or any of your posts that reflects those concepts.


    I pray that you get help for the obvious anger, rage and hate and your total and absolute lack of ability to be straightforward and honest.  Instead, you seem to get much pleasure from stomping people into the ground and degrading them.  Poor you.


    Maybe you're someone who used to have a life, but now you can't even afford to put gas in your car any more.  Maybe you're someone who used to be middle class but woke up one morning to find that your class is sinking (socioeconomic class, not your other obvious class deficiencies in how you treat people).  Maybe you can no longer afford to see your psychiatrist and/or take your antipsychotic medication due to the terrible state of America's healthcare system today. Maybe you used to get out of the house on weekends, but instead now you're forced to stay home because you can't afford to put gas in your car any more, and you're angry and need to take it out on someone, so you come here and flame liberals, instead of blaming the president that is running this country into the ground. But then you'd have to admit you were wrong for supporting him, and just like him, you can't admit you were wrong, right?


    Either way, please try to get some help before your anger and rage consumes you any further and you wind up hurting yourself or someone else.  Perhaps I'm making it worse by confusing and angering you with the truth.  Perhaps it's best for us all if I don't respond to your attention-seeking any longer.


    I certainly will pray for you, dear.  Please get help, and have a nice evening. 


    You have a lot of nerve assuming these women
    xoxoxo
    You got a lotta nerve being so self-righteous
    nm
    You people really have nerve - see message
    A very nasty post by a liberal who is intent on having the country socialized. You people really have your nerve saying its always the conservatives that post the negative posts and how hateful we are. You know what...I've read every single post on this board. The two worst are this one and the one that says all pubs should be "rounded up and shipped off". You are the most hate-filled people it just oozes out of your revulsing posts.

    You are such a biggot with you're "if you don't vote for Obama your a racist". attitute. That in itself is racist. Do you think Obama is out there saying vote for me cos I'm black. NO, he has been trying to get this off of race but you and other posters continue to try and make it about race when it isn't. Why? Do you think spreading fear is the answer? What's next, are you going to threaten that if a black man doesn't get in you'll what, you'll riot???

    I am plenty happy with the debate last night. Whether you believe Obama or McCain won is simply your belief. If you think sitting and staring at the camera while lying through your teeth to us is a "winner". If you think not answering the questions posed about your immoral affiliations is a "winner". If you think snearing and snickering at everything your oponent has to say is a "winner". If you think talking in circles while not saying anything is a "winner". Then I'd say you've got an odd perception of winning.

    To post a blatently hate-filled post calling people who don't agree with you "dippy" and in the same breath say we are haters and racists with the "my man won" statement just shows us what ignor@nce is.

    I don't believe either "won". The last debate I believe Obama won, but this debate I do not believe anyone won. They went to tell people what their plans and policies are and what they can do for the country. If you choose to vote for someone who is a slick lawyer and will tell you they "feel your pain", while they are turning the knife in your back. Someone who knows nothing about foreign policies. Someone who associates and accepts money from terrorists, someone who believes in lying and cheating at all costs to win. Someone with the associations that Obama does then you don't live in the same country I believe in and you really need to move to Cuba, North Korea or other socialist run countries and I believe you will be perfectly happy there.

    So for all the Obama lovers you will never see reason. You already had in your minds before the debate even began that Obama had won. Last night my husband and I were extremely happy with the debate. McCain came out and showed him what he's got. Yes, he got mad. It's not called "grouchy", it's called being mad that a slimy little lawyer worm will look at the american people and lie to their faces, except of course when he actually has a one-on-one conversation with someone and tells them he's going to take more money from them and give it to those who have nothing and will do nothing. Your okay with redistributing the wealth? Guess your one of the ones who will benefit from that and that's why you like that socialist plan. But then the coward laywer doesn't even have the decency to tell hundreds of people in a group he's going to redistribute all their wealth, because they need make too much money and they need to give it to Jose, Bob, Maria or Mary - the ones who won't go out and get a job and have some phony illness so they can sit on their you know what's watching Jerry Springer and soaps and keep receiving money for doing nothing. I know a lot of people like that who cheat the system to get something for nothing, then laugh and brag about it to their freinds in the pizza joint I go to. I wonder if that system was to go into effect how many people would quit their jobs so they too could get paid for not doing anything too.

    McCain finally brought up Obama's shady affiliations. I believe he could have pounded him more, especially after Obama blantatly lied again about his affiliations. All I say is I believe John McCain did a fine job last night, and I wouldn't count your chickens before they are hatched. The election has not been held yet, and as hard as your party is trying to cheat and steal votes, I hope that the courts will do the right thing and investigate the fraud and abuse going on by the democratic party.

    WASHINGTON —  The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.


    "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.


    Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."


    US used mustard and nerve gas in Fallujah.

    If you like, I can document a history of US use of these agents, starting with Viet Nam and moving forward. We supplied this junk to Iraq in the 1980s when we supported Saddam before we didn't.
    It sounds like the post hit a nerve with you
    Well you evidently didn't read my post. I already said I look forward to hearing the O's plans and him putting into place everything he promised he would. Our country is in "the dog house" for lack of better words and we need solutions to make our country great. That is what we are looking to the O for. So why do you think that is hitting a nerve? Some of us do get over things and look towards the future on how our country can become a great nation again. Not focusing on the past and unimportant issues like whether or not there is a wedding in the family of Sarah and Todd Palin.

    You just don't like that you are called out on the malicious digs that keep spreading about Palin's daughter.

    As for rebutting O's lies. My oh my, never do have any time to talk about what really matters. Just want to trash one side while praising and ignoring what's going on in the other side.

    I see you also did not read my message because I specifically stated in there they still plan to get married next summer. How do you possibly even equate this with being "convenient". Whether she married someone earlier or later has no effect on how people voted. You surely can't believe that! People who were interested in what McCain/Palin's issues/plans and Obama/Biden's issues/plans certainly could care less with whether her daughter was going to get married. If you are so concerned with what she said about her daughter getting married then what about Obama telling everyone during the campaign that his daughters will go to to a public school and now they are not.

    You'll sure bash one side and refuse to discuss issues on the other side.

    As for destroying Palin's life...you surely must have been asleep during the entire campaign. Let's see...there is MSNBC, Olberman, Maddow, Matthews, Katie Curic (sp?), CBS, Gibson, Lorne Michaels, CNN, etc, etc, etc. I would not spew the "unqualified" issue around until you take a good look at the O. Everyone knows it? Maybe in your mind. The last time I looked 59,934,814 people believe she is qualified. Those same people believe the O is not.

    Yeah you have a nice day there too!
    The very nerve!!! The utter gall!!!

    An article on a letter to the Editor of a newspaper making its rounds on the Internet.

    http://www.suntimes.com/business/1467702,w-dear-irs-texas-barnett-taxes030909.article

    Here is Mr. Barnett's letter:

    Taxed to excess
    Dear IRS,
    I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.
    I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting licence tax, fishing licence tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle licence registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t recall but I have run out of space and money.
    When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.
    P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

    JTBB. you have the nerve to say OTHERS label?

    There, I labeled you.  You deserve it.


    I caught the nasty racist

    little dig there.  I got that you were saying that Obama is ahead but his being black will doom him.  I didn't miss your sneaky way of signalling your fellow Rothschilds.


     


    Corrupt Obama caught in the act.

    How's this for abuse of power? 


    While in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama sure seems to have played footloose and fancy free with the taxpayer's money, to the benefit of his own circle of family and friends. 


    A $25,000 grant to his first cousin.


    $100,000 for a garden for one of his campaign workers   


    $100,000 for Father Pflager to badmouth Hillary Clinton from his pulpit.


    $75,000 to FORUM, a group who helped Obama pay off the debt from his failed 2000 Senate race.


    Yeah, THIS is the guy I'm going to trust with 'changing' the way government does business. 


    http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=6BA619B2-88A2-4245-8617-AA0A07F47068


    Obama caught red handed.....

    He finally said the words "SPREAD THE WEALTH" when asked by a plumber about raising his taxes.  THe plumber told him he could not afford to have his taxes raised because that would keep him from being able to expand his business, EMPLOY more folks, etc.  Obama told him yes he would but ONLY to help "spread the wealth" and make it fairer for others.  That man couldn't care less about small businesses.  If that isn't about the most ignorant/self-absorbed/SOCIALIST thing I have ever heard.  Anyone who still thinks he's a good deal needs a reality check. 


    Even the Wall Street Journal says his policies are going to put businesses OUT OF BUSINESS because they cannot afford these ridiculous policy mandates.  This man is looking out for only one people and definitely NOT the country.   Now, he is going back and asking his "advisors" to REDO ANOTHER ECONOMIC POLICY so the one everyone is jumping on as WONDERFUL NEWS...be advised, it is changing again!!!


    He is now wanting MORE money to give to MORE people so we can keep MORE PEOPLE on the welfare roll.  KEEP IT UP BUDDY.....SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM!!


     


    I caught this deceit during the last debate
    When Obama was asked if he would sign the ban against partial-birth abortion he responded he would if there was a clause allowing it in cases where the mother's health was at risk. Those of us who lived through the ྂs will recall this jargon effectively legalized second-into-third-trimester abortions under any circumstances--A physician had only to sign a form stating the woman's mental health was in jeopardy. I remember the actual coercion involved as it happened to someone very close to me, and--hate to admit it--I worked in an abortion clinic for a short time. Planned Parenthood and other "pro-choice" organizations are in reality pro-killing mills that are allocated federal and state funding according to the number of abortions they perform. It's to their obvious benefit that they "counsel" women towards the termination of their pregnancies.

    Obama is slick and tried to slide that one through unnoticed. Beware.
    You just called me a bigot, and you have the nerve to complain


    Chris was so tasteless and had the nerve to say he was trying to have dialouge...nm
    I think the NYT has the right to publish any information that they can verify. If it is classified information that should not have been known to the public, the question is who leaked it?

    I've heard the jist of the story but I need to read the NYT article.
    I didn't really have an intention. That post just caught my eye. nm

    chewing Barney Frank a new butt during an interview.  He basically told him to claim the blame instead of trying to push it on others and called him a coward.  I was just sitting on the couch with my mouth open in shock.  I'm glad someone told the stupid SOB though.  Needless to say, Barney Frank didn't get to say much.  Also, if Barney Frank got all that money from these banks, why can't he afford to get some dentures on the top?  I can't stand to hear him talk.  PUT SOME TEETH IN!  SHEESH.
    Caught parts of it today on MSNBC sm
    Heard that she would not do the script they had planned for her. What snipits I saw were not that complimentary of her at all. Oh well, just curious, don't think she likes to be "caught up" in anything, ignoring interviews, etc. Couric made her look bad and Couric is for Obama, I believe. Just keeping eyes and ears open, not much time left to decide. Not looking good for her as of now.
    Oh brother - it amazes me how many are caught up in a fantasy

    tonight or Thursday night? I think BF is a glutton for punishment. I hope, but doubt, BF will answer some questions instead of blowing smoke again.
    whooo hooooo guess I touched a nerve there...
    listen, friend. If someone posted something like that about one of Obama's children, I would be on here ragging them the same way! Candidates' children should not be fodder for the public. It is wrong and mean spirited to involve them...be it Obama, McCain, Biden, or any of the rest.

    Obviously no one here did make it up, but several have tried to defend it and one did post it.

    I try to avoid the KOS at all costs.

    I have a life. I also have people I love. I feel terrible for Bristol Palin. What did she do to what daily kos printed? Like Bristol, admit the child is yours.

    Again...if someone printed some rude innuendo about one of Obama's children I would be screaming about that just as loud.


    Republicans have a lot of nerve calling Obama an elitist! (nm)
    :O
    Caught him on Larry King one night last week.
    He's a very funny and intelligent man....
    I especially enjoyed the real refreshing lie I caught him in the other day...did you catch it?
    ...no, guess not...no one in the media called him on it either.


    Here, let me give you a hint. Obama said that all of the conservative and liberal economists agreed that his economy recovery plan was good (or would work, or something like that).


    The lie being that "all the conservative economists" part.

    That was one, big, fat, honking lie.....no one even blinked and took his word for it.


    My DH says there's at least a half dozen conservative economists out there that don't agree with Obama...and yet....if Obama says they do....everyone believes him.


    He lies and you don't even know it, he's so smooth about it.....



    But some of us know he does...lie that is......he's getting real good at talking both sides of the issues, so that if something does or doesn't come to pass, he can say I told you so....or whatever needs to be said to save his you know whatsis.

    I think he's learned a lot from the Clintons lately, don't you?
    You caught me, I just "lurk" here waiting to pounce on you. Now who's paranoid?
    I post when the discussion moves me or when I read something completely hilarious, like you who's who in Gay America list.
    You have the nerve to talk label Islam. Look at the so-called Christian

    Robertson suggests God smote Sharon


    Evangelist links Israeli leader's stroke to 'dividing God's land'


    (CNN) -- Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed.


    He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the [European Union], the United Nations or the United States of America,' Robertson told viewers of his long-running television show, The 700 Club.


    God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,' he said.


    Robertson's show airs on the ABC Family cable network and claims about 1 million viewers daily.


    Sharon, 77, clung to life in a Jerusalem hospital Thursday after surgery to treat a severe stroke, his doctors said.


    The prime minister, who withdrew Israeli settlers and troops from Gaza and parts of the West Bank last summer over heated objections from his own Likud Party, was breathing with the aid of a ventilator after doctors operated to stop the bleeding in his brain.


    In Washington, President Bush offered praise for Sharon in a speech on Thursday.


    We pray for his recovery, Bush said. He's a good man, a strong man. A man who cared deeply about the security of the Israeli people, and a man who had a vision for peace. May God bless him.


    Daniel Ayalon, Israel's ambassador to the United States, compared Robertson's remarks to the overheated rhetoric of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. (Full story)


    He called the comments outrageous and said they were not something to expect from any of our friends.


    He is a great friend of Israel and a great friend of Prime Minister Sharon himself, so I am very surprised, Ayalon told CNN.


    Robertson, 75, founded the Christian Coalition and in 1988 failed in a bid for the Republican presidential nomination. He last stirred controversy in August, when he called for the assassination of Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez. (Full story)


    Robertson later apologized, but still compared Chavez to Hitler and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in the process.


    The same month, the Anti-Defamation League criticized Robertson for warning that God would bring judgment against Israel for its withdrawal from Gaza, which it had occupied since the 1967 Mideast war.


    Robertson said Thursday that Sharon was a very likable person, and I am sad to see him in this condition.


    He linked Sharon's health problems to the 1995 assassination of Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin, who signed the Oslo peace accords that granted limited self-rule to Palestinians.


    It was a terrible thing that happened, but nevertheless, now he's dead, Robertson said.


    Rabin was gunned down by a religious student opposed to the Oslo accords. The killer, Yigal Amir, admitted to the crime and was sentenced to life in prison.


    Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, criticized Robertson's comments Thursday, saying the televangelist has a political agenda for the entire world.


    He seems to think God is ready to take out any world leader who stands in the way of that agenda, Lynn said in a written statement.


    A religious leader should not be making callous political points while a man is struggling for his life, he said. I'm appalled.


    Ralph Neas, president of liberal advocacy group People for the American Way, said it is astonishing that Pat Robertson still wields substantial influence in the Republican Party.


    Once again, Pat Robertson leaves us speechless with his insensitivity and arrogance, Neas said in a written statement.


    According to The Associated Press, Robertson spokeswoman Angell Watts said of people who criticized the comments: What they're basically saying is, 'How dare Pat Robertson quote the Bible?'


    This is what the word of God says, Watts told the AP. This is nothing new to the Christian community.


    Fox News Caught Repeatedly Cropping, Manipulating Video

    Hey, kids! Do you ever get tired of Fox News' crops? I don't mean the food
    they might be literally growing, in Glenn Beck's Doom Room, in preparation for
    Imminent Socialist Panic. I'm talking about the way they manipulate video to
    make it look like people are just straight up saying the opposite thing they
    actually said. Well, it's been bothering the media critics at Media Matters For
    America for some time, and they have, for a long time, been cataloging "examples
    of Fox News hosts and correspondents cropping comments by progressives and
    Democratic political figures in a manner that misrepresents them." A new mash-up
    video offers some side-by-side examples of what they're talking about.






    Some constructive criticism? I think the third example -- Obama's "empathy"
    criteria for Supreme Court justice -- isn't the best example of a Fox cropping.
    While it's certainly true that Major Garrett's statement, "That aggravates those
    who feel that justices should follow the Constitution and legislative intent,"
    seems to neatly ignore the fact that Obama's next statement was "I will seek
    someone who is dedicated to the rule of law, who honors our Constitutional
    traditions, who respects the integrity of the judicial process, and the
    appropriate limits of the judicial role," the fact is, just about every news
    organization honed in on the "empathy" part of the statement. It became the
    sound bite from that press exchange.


    In a more lengthy report, however, Media Matters has other candidates that
    are fitting examples of these games with videotape, well worth reviewing. Key
    examples include Sean Hannity's intentional omission of Obama's admonishment of
    Europeans' "casual...insidious" anti-Americanism to make it look like Obama was
    apologizing for the United States, and Wendell Goler's splice-happy report that
    made it look like Obama was in favor of "European-style health care," when he
    was actually specifically opposing it. Also close to my heart is Fox's
    misleading insertion of an out-of-context Joe Biden clip into a report, for
    which the network eventually had to apologize. At the time, I opined:


    It's very sad, and weird, because Fox News would have made their point just
    fine if they hadn't included the misleading part of this clip. All they've
    really done is demonstrate that they do not have enough faith in their own
    editorial premises to avoid bolstering them with falsehoods. But more to the
    point, whoever is responsible for putting this video together needs to accept a
    new prevailing reality, that stupid little lies like this will be debunked and
    exposed very quickly, so they may as well just cut out this nonsense
    entirely.


    Yet they persist!
