O'Donnell on Cheney Speech-Full of Lies, Sleazy-- Buchanan Thinks it Was Great

[divisioneight]

Is justice unimportant?

Ask the families of the victims of 9-11.

I know of four wonderful kids who still miss their father. One is studying to be a law enforcement officer - how fitting.

[LQQJ]

I don't blame China, Cambodia, N. Korea and any other country if it torture people since the country that calls for the end of human rights, is a torture nation itself.

It is a big lie, human rights that is.

[thedecider1984]

o'donnel a fucking asshole and osama bff obama going to get us all killed.

[richie19190]

And Obama realized the wasteful amount of money that was being wasted in Iraq, the last president should have spent that billions in Iraq trying to improve our country with more new jobs, better economic growth by not sending our jobs to Japan and China. G.W. Bush reminded me of Herbert Hoover. At least Herbert Hoover did not destroy our human and constitutional rights like G.W. Bush and Cheney.

[richie19190]

Thanks to Halleburton,,,,how many mllions did G.W. Bush abd Tricky Dick Cheney take in the back pocket to fight this unjust war in Iraq? Answer me where are the WMD's? The answer is there is no WND's there was never was any WMD's. I don't remember what year it was, but read The Downing Street memo article about how G.W. Bush forged doctored and lied about the evidence of WMD's in Iraq. About Obama running for the hills. He is pulling out because Afghanistan is the real war on terror.

[Eagle0watch]

Hey America, you say you don;t want the Guantanbo Bay prisioners in our jails but personaly I feel even more scared knowing that Dick Cheny is living amongst us!

[Lisa282828]

MSNBC is the absolute worst news ever! Chris Matthews is so gross.

[cvjucla3]

O' Donnell kicks ass again! The U.S. shall not ever torture. Period.

[doccsquaredg]

You in the Press are disgusting. You just can't face reality and the truth. You are so obsessed with that your own bias continue.

This was one of the very best speeches of all time.

Why don't you take a break, catch your breath, and really think about how stupid you guys look and sound.

Even Congress today realizes the foolishness of your position and that of your president.

Terrorist plots continue, but you and the current administration prefer to cover your eyes and shut off your brains.

[HSOUIXZ]

[kandy1958]

O Donnell should understand that, as soon as Obama releases ALL of the memos, we will THEN KNOW what intel the waterboarding produced. I wonder if he is interested in us knowing the WHOLE truth or just political positioning and helping terrorists train against our intel gathering methods

[gamoonbat]

Pat Buchanan wrote the speeches delivered by Spiro Agnew which Laurence O'Donnell here describes as "sleezy"! ! !

[wtfoof]

BAIL!!!!??? Buchcanan is as fucking LOON!!!!

[leesagrrl]

Good Lord! Pat is the pinnacle of complete and absolute arrogant apologist bullshit.

Kick more Lying GOP Ass, Lawrence!

[garthggarth]

Jack Rice's comments were DEAD on target.

-'Beat the CIA like a Pinata'

'Wraps himself in the Flag with the Constitution at his feet..'

'Doestn't care what he's doing, as long as he looks good doing it'

[dragon82a]

Pat Bucannan denies the Holocast ever happened. He was involved with Nixon and Watergate...He's a loser who has managed to reinvent himself as having some sort of fake legitamcy.

[il128]

Would you drive drunk to save American lives?

Well then, drunk driving can't be illegal!

[davidson1932]

Look forward to Cheney's next speech - Explaining why he ran home to mommy and cried when he heard he had to go to Vietnam. Foghorn Leghorn looking mother******

[OhioDemocrat]

Pat Buchanan is braindead.

[joespeed87]

Pat Buchanan doesnt know when to quit. He is starting to sound like the Republican puppet that he is become. He should retire from politics because he makes no sense.

[daveistheboss]

Pat Buchanan rocks!

[Lisa282828]

Obama just did coke. MSNBC is the absolute worst news ever!  Chris Matthews is so gross.

[joespeed87]

Bill O'Reilly pretended to be Ron Jeremy over the phone while talking to his female producer,Glenn Beck is a loser and Sean Hannity is a coward. I think that Fox News is the worst news ever because they arent news,they are RNC TV.

[OhioDemocrat]

Joespeed87

You nailed it!

Five Star Comment!

[jarmtx]

stopping "terrorism" is almost the same as stopping the "war" on crime or the "war" on drugs its impossible.

I at least feel better now knowing that obama's administration will do something; anything if he were to get briefed (like bush did on Aug 6th, 2001) stating that a major "terrorist" organization is about to attack us.

how can cheney say with a strait face that he has better ideas to keep us safe when he and bush just totally disregarded that intelligence?

[WKaliberr]

what a croak of shit from a war criminal

[achillesheart101]

Wow...Matthews...dude...mix it up, mix it up. You've got Buchanan responding in the first minute, then you deluge the next 8 minutes with consecutive liberal commentator after liberal commentator.

[underweightHater]

what is the GOP plan for prisoners at guantanamo? hold them until they die, with no trial? i dont understand it. they oppose obamas plan, but i dont hear a realistic alternative.

[rizz917]

The whole point is Obama wants to close GITMO without a plan. He doesn't have a plan and his nuts just got cut off by the House. You want to bring them here to the States? You want victims of their actions to not only grieve the losses but also fund their time in prison?

Leave them in Gitmo where they belong. It's perfect for holding terrorists. They are terrorists and deserve no trial. They aren't citizens and do not enjoy the same rights we do. These are not innocent victims.

[underweightHater]

i disagree 100%.

1) taxpayers are already paying for their time in prison. you think gitmo runs on fairy dust?

2) yes bring them here. is the US supposed to run shady outlaw international prisons where we make up the rules as we go? what are we, china?

3) "they are terrorists and deserve no trial" how do you know without a trial? dont you care? dont you want the guilty ones to be sentenced (preferably to death) and the ones who may be there by mistake to be let go? is justice unimportant?

[rizz917]

You call a detention center housing terrorists captured onb the battlefield a shady outlaw international prison? This is what I mean when I say liberals are more concerned about the rights of the criminal than the victims. There is nothing outlaw or criminal about Gitmo, nothing. They do not deserve to enjoy the United States criminal system in out courts. They do not fight under a flag of specificity or a particular Government, they are terrorists. And there are none being held there wrongfully

[rizz917]

Please excuse the type-o's...

One more thing, the people in Gitmo who were released went right back into the battlefield to kill more Americans. Please let this sink into your thoughts carefully, Americans who are now dead would not have died if terrorists in Gitmo were not released. These guys are not victims in the least, not one damned bit. They are all either Taliban, Al Qaeda, foreign Jihadists, or something else.

[rizz917]

Seems to me that Cheney opened up a can of good ole smackdown on these socialists who currently infest the White House. He spoke the truth, it was to the point, he pointed out the efforts of this Administration to conceal what was stopped from EIT, and you lefties can't stand it. GOOD! Cheney is a good man, an honorable man, he served his country well for so many years. I'm proud of the job they did. Especially when you consider what we have now as VP, that's terrifying. Cryy liberals, cry.

[TheRationalthinker]

Excellent point(s)! For all they crying that the liberal left media did about Sarah Palin potentially being a VP, and how she might be an embarassment. Now, you take a look at Biden so far, and... I rest my case. What a joke this administration has been so far!

[jarmtx]

you beeetcha! sarah palin is far more qualified to hold the office of vice president dont cha know (wink)

stop being irrational

[hopeandjoywithlove]

Bring on the Truth Commission and lets forget this trial by media and political stabbing each other in the backs !( which i'm sure they wouldn't be doing if there wasn't at least something to hide ). Put the facts on the table and let the congress decide on behalf on the people who's name this fiasco is in.

[burntonion05]

I am absolutely sickened by Dick Cheney and his sleazy daughter trying to defend torture. It is time to turn the page and put these two criminals in prison and the past. They have ideas that are dangerous to this nation and will destroy it if they get their way.

[TexasLady04]

Were you aware that when Bill Clinton was in office ,prisoners were handed over to the Egyptians to "extract info" because he didn't have the stomach for it?

We were safe for 7/12 years while Bush was in office. Talking torure ,try being a family member of one of the 9/11 victims.You can't hold terrorists' hands ,give them milk and cookies and expect cooperation.Of course now that the methods to obtain critical information has been released,the terrorists are no longer fearful for their buddies.

[burntonion05]

7 1/2 years? I guess that says it all.

[waltermh111]

First, we were safe for all of clintons term with only 1 failed attack and the USS cole which wasnt civilians killed.

Under Bush we didnt just lose the twin towers, we had more americans killed aside from that then under all of clintons term.

Why do american soldiers stop being americans to conservatives?

Americans were not kept safe under bush, they were wrongly put in a war against a country that was no danger to us.

Also, Bush supposedly had failed US soil attacks under his watch too

[TheRationalthinker]

behedings, public execution of women in soccer stadiums, casterations, finger crunching,ripping all skin off while still alive,burning alive, raping young girls while making parents watch, electricutions. These are just SOME of the torture techniques used by our "enemies".You softies are as affeminent as Obama. We pour water over a guy's (911 errorists) face for 40 seconds at a time and you want to call THAT torture!We would have never won WWII with panty wearers like you!GROW a PAIR!

[burntonion05]

Hey buddy, I didn't volunteer to serve in the Army when I was 18 because we were a nation that stoops to the level of our enemies. Being an American should meen more than being bullies. Maybe if you served you would be a little more proud of what our country stands for and maybe even understand it.

Grow a pair? Don't make me laugh.

[dluviam]

rickamabob13:

"September 11, 2001,

would be 7 mths, 3 wks, and 2 days after Bush/Cheney were sworn into office on January 20, 2001."

Obama's days in office: 4 months, 1 day

So in your estimation Obama gets 3 mths, 3wks, and 2days more in which you won't blame him for anything that happens.

That's a very fair way to look at it.

I applaud your open-minded fairness.

"Or the same amount of time after Clinton became FORMER Presindent Clinton."

I have know idea what this is suppose to mean.

[rickamabob13]

dluviam,

"Or the same amount of time after Clinton became FORMER Presindent Clinton."

When talking with someone defending Bush/Cheney what is the first thing they usually say?... But 9/11 was Clinton's fault. The after Clinton comment was to point out how long Bill hadn't been president on Sept 11, 2001. Then how is it his fault and not the current adminstration?

Oh, no offense taken.

[ironfistrule]

No mercy for our enemies. Bomb and bomb and bomd util every terrorist is dead. We need a hardliner in the white house not a puppet.

[pleasurerider2009]

That's fo sho. Obama is such an affimenant elitist that spends most of his time apologizing for the US, and trying to take over private businesses, that we REALLY need a president who is a hardliner who will NOT stand down.

[TheRationalthinker]

O'Donnell is out to lunch! He and Mathews are SO angry at the affectiveness of Cheney's speeches! Obama will never be in Cheney's league, when it comes to protecting this country!

Is it any wonder that MSNBC's ratings are down over 40%. Every single one of them is blindly biased against truth because it is not coming from their guy Obama.

[dluviam]

TheRationalthinker:

"Obama will never be in Cheney's league, when it comes to protecting this country!"

Excuse me?

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001.

2,974 victims and the 19 hijackers died in the attacks.

[TheRationalthinker]

That ws the beginning of the Bush term. Clinton had Osama in his cross hairs, according to national security reports, and he did NOTHING. As he also did NOTHING after the bombing of the USS Cole. Clinton spent 8 years moving funding away from military and national defense. Bush had to build it back up. Now, Obama is going to weaken our defense again, as is par for the course for Democrats. They blame America and do NOT see our uniqueness in the world. God help us all!

would be 7 mths, 3 wks, and 2 days after Bush/Cheney were sworn into office on January 20, 2001.

Or the same amount of time after Clinton became FORMER Presindent Clinton.

[dluviam]

Hey rickamabob13, I apologizes for my snide remark. You were actually on my side of the argument.

There are a lot of trolls on here and at a certain point you assume everyone is.

But, that is the wrong thing to do. You know what they say about people who ASS U ME

sorry

[TheRationalthinker]

Yet another example how much HATE, and intolerrance spews from the liberal left. There is no open minded discussions of issues, just name calling and personal attacks. Mainly because they know they fall short when it comes to intellectual debate.

So far, people who reply on here (from the left) are full of hate, foul language, and name calling. ZERO substance though. Just like Obama. Yea, a cool cat. People voted STYLE over SUBSTANCE, and now we are ALL paying the price for it! NOBAMA!

[dancharter]

"Obama will never be in Cheney's league, when it comes to protecting this country?"

What does Cheney know about protecting America when he had a chance to do that before 9/11?

What does Cheney know about serving America when he had a chance to do that in Vietnam? Oh that's right, he dodge the Vietnam draft through 5 deferments.

Cheney is a real class chickenhawk who talks tough about National Security and yet he refused to fight for his country in Vietnam.

[angelus4282]

LOL. "Cheney's speech worked." That's priceless, Pat. What a character.

God, I was starting to wonder whether Cheney would ever shut the hell up when I saw this earlier today. He NEVER used to bullshit us this much when he WAS the Vice President! And people say that Biden is a blowhard...

[swardo]

O'Donnell FTW

[Reichsleiter45]

Oh dude, you already know it. He did a TREMENDOUS speech today and i am very proud to be a supporter of Dick Cheney. His speech will definetly go down in history as one of the greatest speeches.

[bbbbmer]

"cheney's speech worked"???? um, mr. buchanan, only lymbic brained stockholm syndromed republicans are touting cheney's line -- and only to whip up enough vitriol to mask their lack of any ideas and complicity in war crimes and economic malaise -- what a delusional bunch these submorons are!

[pleasurerider2009]

It's like night and day when comparing the two speeches today. It was like Cheney gave an authoratative State of the Union Address, and Obama gave a sheepish (long winded) defensive rebuttle that used the word "I" too many times to count. Of course, that is what the teleprompter told him to say.

It's interesting that Cheney has gained nearly 10 points in approval ratings since he has been speaking up, and he's no motivation for this other than for LOVE OF COUNTRY.a strange concept for Obama.

[bbbbmer]

You've had a little too much of the GOP's koolaid... it seems you prefer the 'dark side' and the war crimes, war for oil, economic abysmal, lies put forward by Darth Cheney and his tribe, to the more forthright HONESTY of Obama.... I pity your ignorance and your delusional interpretation of patriotism... Now wrap yourself in your red state flag, and and ride your SUV into the sunset, or as much sunset as is available in your podunk trailer park, and begone -- THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!

[TheRationalthinker]

Oh, so you consider a patriot as someone who's personal "spritual advisor" preached hate against USA for 20 years, and "G-Damn America", etc... Or, who launched his political career in the living room of a convicted terrorist who admitted he wished he had done more bombings in the USA. Who's wife has "never been proud of (USA)..", or who has said the US is to blame for most worlds problems, who is currently having the gvmnt. take over banks, auto makers, etc... yep, that's your patriot alright.

[bbbbmer]

No, I believe it is patriotic to question the war crimes, war for oil and the lies that got us there, neglect of financial markets, and other governmental malfeasance of the Bush/Cheney era. Your assertions are irrelevant and falsely premised, and reflective of just how impoverished your info sources and thinking are. You'd make a great ape though -- as would Rush/Hannity/Beck... although apes lie considerably less... Now go take your meds and have a good night..

[imaginepeace63]

you make good points but you can't spell guilty, probably and hoax

[aggies436]

msnbc suck ass! freeloading koolaid drinking msnbc faggots! Go FOX NEWS!

[TheRationalthinker]

No worries, their ratings are down 46%, averaging 400,000 per hour market share. Fox, is blowing EVERYONE away averaging over 1,000,000 per hour market share.

PMS-NBC thinks the American people are gullable, but they will learn the hard way as they continue to loose ratings.

[yawakoben]

FOX corners the market on conservative propaganda. Everyone else float among other channels or watch no TV at all and WORK. FOX will always been number 1 as long as there is no other strictly conservative proganda network.

[rizz917]

LOL! What's even funnier is we might be the only ones who actually seen this Chrissy Mathews segment, lol. Us and the poster of this video. FOX keeps squashing the competition. Yeah, baby! Ane even funnier yet, the more people Obama gets layed off, the more people will see the truth on FOX and vote against Obama, and the rest of the retarded left. HA HA HA!

[joespeed87]

By the way,Fox News is also 2 million dollars a day and Fox Business Channel is losing 4 million dollars. How much longer do you think that one or both will be on tv? NCIS is kicking Fox News ass,lol. look it up on nielsen,which i did.

[dance2noise002]

Cheney is a punk ass bitch who doesn't know shit!

[TheRationalthinker]

Former head of CIA, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President who has SEEN factual evidence on paper (that Obama is terrified for the public to see) that enhanced interrogation saved over 100,000 lives.

Um... what are you, 8 years old? I bet you like Obama because it's the cool thing to do, but have NO CLUE about the issues at hand and how he is dismanteling our country.

Remember, Obama is the guy who said our Constitution is "fundamentally flawed". Yeah, I can see he's your guy alright.

[dluviam]

FACT: Obama Explains The Constitution's "Fundamental Flaw" Was Slavery. The out of context video the RNC links to contains audio from a September 6, 2001 program called "Slavery and the Constitution" on WBEZ Chicago. On the show, Obama explained that the "fundamental flaw" was "Africans at the time were not considered as part of the polity that was of concern to the framers." In addition, the framers did not "see...it as a moral problem involving persons of moral worth." [WBEZ Radio,]

[dluviam]

TheRationalthinker:

"Remember, Obama is the guy who said our Constitution is "fundamentally flawed"

You're a puppet.

On May 21, 2009, the RNC tweeted an out of context quote from Barack Obama regarding a flaw in the constitution. The "fundamental flaw" Barack Obama was referring to was slavery

[clarkslick]

buchanan is a weak little man who only takes the contrarian position to get a cheap little boost to his ego and a little lift in his limp dick.

cheney will live the rest of his feeble life and go to his grave with one of the greatest shames of any leader in the US, and deep down he knows it and it scares him to death - that's why he's trying to scrape up any residue of his reputation.

[growliberty]

GE owns NBC and GE's CEO is conveniently on Obamas board of economic advisors. GE is in collusion with Obama and now NBC is the propaganda wind of the Obaman administration. NBC is not news its abuse of power.

[pleasurerider2009]

The sad thing is, you speak the TRUTH!
