Rachel Maddow Show: Glenn Greenwald on Cheney's Fear Mongering

[im4wur2]

"Undaunted by the truth..." that would be Dick Cheney. - The fact is Cheney's policies, including the Iraq war, was the "best thing that ever happened to al Qaeda in terms of recruitment and fundrasing". ( watch?v=ap401z3S54Q )

[reginaDexant]

I hate Rachel Mad cow from MS. NBC. Is this person even a woman, or a man who has had himself mutilated to look like a woman? It looks like it has an Adam's apple.

[mlc2005]

@reginaDexant : Way to argue a point with substance! Please tell me you don't vote.

[psnapplebee]

@reginaDexant who gives a fuck? shut the fuck up

[reginaDexant]

@psnapplebee You thought Mad Cow was really a bull didn't you? I know you did, just admit it.Oh and don't cuss me SNAP!

[sssssjjjj1]

Cheney needs to go hunting with ME. I'll be right behind you Dick, with my hair trigger 10gauge. Dick Cheney is the sorriest sob in the world. Let's beat his ass. If you like dick Cheney you are graveworthy.

[KerriK73]

this is one of the most insightful interviews i've ever seen on mainstream media.

don't ever let fear prevent access to truth.

[veee4vendetta]

Looks like Cheney is a chicken-shit coward.

"It also gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people around us are of what is really happening to them. " - Adolf Hitler"

"Through clever and constant application of propaganda people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."

--Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1923

"Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. - Joseph Goebbels

If the day should ever come when we [the Nazis] must go, if some day we are compelled to leave the scene of history, we will slam the door so hard that the universe will shake and mankind will stand back in stupefaction.. - Goebbels

[im4wur]

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. - Joseph Goebbels

[im4wur]

If Cheney thinks al Qaeda is such a threat. The why didn't he see to it that they were shut down while he was in office?

[johnPhilos]

Why is Cheney not in prison?

[MaelMan82]

because he lives in the US with a corrupt government

[MrJud]

why do we still care about cheney. he's old and busted. libs need a new hotness. don't pull teh same crap republicans have been by blaming problems of now on clinton

[jmguitard]

cause he's a war criminal, that's why.

[Epic878787]

If America stopped supporting all Mid-East countries, including Israel, and pulled all it's armed forced out of the area why would America still risk terrorist attack?

[ssarran]

No, Cheney is not full of crap. But this biased, theater disguised as a report and your susceptability to its pandering to ignorant predjudice IS Scary! Over 23 known attempts at attack on U.S. squashed since 911. Fear Mongering? Similar phrases used prior to Poland 1939, Pearl Harbor, etc..

[ssarran]

Yes, the administration IS guilty of protecting us. Consider what any of their motives might have been for anything else - they were already rich and powerful! Mistakes are made by all-butCondi,Colin Cheney and Bush were all truly loyal to their country, acting in what they thought to be its best interests

[Epic878787]

I don't think the government, including those you mentioned, is on the side of the people.

[MaelMan82]

23 known attempts eh?

rofl

any hard evidence of this?

[Epic878787]

Glen looks embarrassed. I don't blame him.

[coffeecat73]

Do you think then that Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell are as guilty as Cheney and Bush? Why is it always Bush and Cheney? Colin Powell sold the war too, Condi Rice was behind them 100% of the time.

[johnedwards1968]

I think you're right. The whole administration is guilty.

[rkcoon]

I find it hilarious that Cheney, Bushel et al used, and still use the exact same instrument - fear mongering - that the churches have used since day one. but, in the same way humanity is shaking off the shackles of religious subjugation, humanity is also shaking off slowly the shackles of evil oppressive government.

[drunkenbob2]

dick cheney threatening to orchestrate another 9/11 attacks, better watch out for it...

[coffeecat73]

just because you hate him doesn't mean there is NEVER any reason to think there is a danger of ANYTHING.

[Neoconhater]

Well duhhhh!!

The point is he is drooling the same crap about the policies, some of them illegal, that he championed should be left in place other wise we're gonna be attacked again. He is a war criminal and a putz.

All Cheney has is the fear card. Everyone knows there is a very good possibility of an attack in the future, but Cheney needs to go home to Wyoming and just STFU because he is full of crap.

[leesagrrl]

coffeecat73:

I can't seem to get my mind around your obtuse statement.

I am afraid... but I won't allow people like Cheney and the other Bush Crime Family Terrorists to use Fear to turn America into a Police State.

We should all be afraid. The world is a scary place and many Cultures in it are afraid of us because of the horrible things we've done. But we should never let that fear rule our lives and let the Plutocratic powers steal away our Freedom and Democracy.

[frepi]

I am sure Cheney, Wolfo and Rumsfeld are hard at work with their pals at the Pentagone to setup a fake terrorist attack to break the back of Obama

[Plutonwolf]

I wish we were on a space craft with him. I'd like to be the one to hit the switch to cycle his ass into vacuum.

[Squatchmichael]

Cheney is the worst thing that happened to American Democracy as we know it. In the words of a great American President, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself". In Cheney's words "There is nothing to fear, but not enough fear".

[Repeat3Times]

Thanks again Heather - great work!

[wiskawind]

Cheney should be locked up for WAR CRIMES!

[nela04]

@wiskawind or maybe have his balls cut off

[areki38]

lol :)
