Mary Matalin: Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh Exemplify Conservatism

[Wildkkat1]

Do Obama folks know that troop strength in Afghanistan and Iraq are on the rise! Remember Obama telling us the first thing he will do if elected will be to order our troops out! He can do so with a stroke of the pen and we know that, so is he a liar yet? News flash US starts major offensive in Afghanistan!

[biffsmith1950]

MM speaks with forked tong unlike her husband.

[ogjimkenobi]

Hahahahaha, yeah, the administration that Cheney was a part of really exemplified Conservatism.

That is so fucking ridiculous it's simply laughable.

[il128]

repubs are such sore losers! Cry for me! Such sweet tears!

[mattschlo]

John King is such a cheese dick.

[not8upwthit]

Who just sent thousands of additional troops to Afgainistan? No one has ever conquered that country.

Do you suppose that could be why we are in IRAQ?

Does anyone think a total withdrawal from the entire region is an option?

[Lane4411]

Tough talking "War Mongering, Civilian Masters", will do/say anything to further the Israel cause. With total disregard for the well being of America's military personnel.

People like Gingrich, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney, Bush, etc. with no combat/military experience are the reason America is in Iraq and have been compromised in Afghanistan.

Israel Lobby controls Congress, anything for Israel!!!

Youtube: Zinni - No WMD's

[biffsmith1950]

The military is their because it is their job. As sad as it is they are a tool to project the will of the America people around the world as defined by the ones we elect. If you don't lie that then go to Iran, Russia, China, North Korea. They would love you there.

[Lane4411]

American was lied into Iraq by Chickenhawks, with no military service - see above. The effort should have been concentrated in Afghanistan.

PLEASE Y/TUBE: ZINNI - NO WMD'S

Zinni is a retired general who spoke out against the war in 2002 - before the invasion!!

IRAQ=NEOCON CHICKENHAWK WAR

[biffsmith1950]

I agree, it was a big lie perpetrated by incompetent boobs.Clinton tried to wipe them in Afghanistan and Bush did not follow up even after being warned by Clinton on his way out. So now we have this mess. At least we now have a president that can clean this mess up.

[437thx1138]

So torture is called EIT's now Mary? How convenient.

What Sikes said was rather mild in the Rush world of hate. I've heard worse from him. The difference was the audience. Poor tender things not used to Rush's venom either.

And all those 2nd wave attacks we thwarted, Miss Mary I used to like and respect you. Never agreed but listened to you. How do you sleep @ night.

[exenrontexas]

New book out "Tear Down this Myth" by Will BUnch that totally deflates the REAGAN BUBBLE. Most of what conservatives applaud about Ronnie Raygun is ILLUSORY.

Example: Reagan as CA governor signed into law support for...ABORTION.

Reaganomics gave the rich HUGE tax cuts and the working man only tiny one and then mortgaged their kids future with debt like no one before.

Reagan spent a trillion dollars on a weapons system that never worked.

Reagan had little to do with the fall of Communism.

[carlrs15]

1:52 ...."Goldwater the godfather of conservatism."

You have derailed, ma'am.

[dspell13]

The same Goldwater who abhorred the "Religious" "Right?" That Goldwater?

These GOP nutcases can try all they want to revise history. We have The Google at our disposal.

By the way...is Mary Matalin evolved from rats?

[lmn8bush]

mary matalin has the disease too. If you play with rats you get fleas !

[sst1]

Republicans are a party of ideas? What ideas? Lets see... oh yeah, homosexuals are horrible people and should be denied rights and treated like social misfits. Oh, and fetuses are people and therefore we should tell women what do with their bodies. Don't forget anyone who isn't white and christian is inferior and should be treated as such. These people want society to go back to the dark ages.

[rhabdoviridae]

Don't forget those incredible tax cuts, which have served us so well till now.

[sst1]

Yeah, who cares about those worthless middle class scum, as long as the elite can keep that extra few thousand they so rightly deserve. Who need schools and jobs, anyways?

[rhabdoviridae]

Compassionate Conservatism in action.

[eelzen]

Mary Matalin dodges the question with the lie that torture can make us safe.

Better to live dangerously in America than securely in AmeriKa.

[terrence0258]

She just said that Democrats launch personal attacks on Republicans because they don't have ideas. Is she living in a parallel universe?

[dspell13]

It's called "projection." It's a psychological phenomenon whereby you project your own frailties onto others. The GOP uses it in lieu of actual ideas.

[dralavant]

Mary Matalin makes me sick.

[SCRAPPYLOUIS]

All Cheney wants is release of the memos saying enhanced interrogation worked. That's the argument. Democrats need to address.

[reachright09]

Yeah the cherry picking idiots....

[billyshake]

It's COMPLETELY ridiculous to say Sykes went over the line -- at this same dinner, George W. showed a video of himself looking for Iraq's WMD under his desk in the Oval Office.

[dluviam]

Journalism is dead. John King is shit, but he's not alone.

If the Republicans represent only 21% of the electorate, then WHY do they dominate the TV airwaves?

The Sundays shows were dominated by Repubs.

Only 21% of people are buying their shit.

But, these TV "news" channels keep giving them the bulk of the airtime to push an ideology that was thoroughly rejected in the last 2 election cycles.

BS

Let them climb out of the shitter on their own.

At the least it's a bad marketing strategy.

[Z200a]

Sounds like Mary wants to be on the Gingrich payroll heading into 2012.

[tigerlilly311]

How many times have Maddow and Olbermann made arguments that Cheney's position is wrong? How many times have senators and congressmen come out and said "No. Torture doesn't work, and even if it did, it's still immoral and hence off limits"? Matalin's statements are just false. And she seems to be projecting. Sykes' doesn't have the capacity to make an argument? That's not a personal attack?

[GstateBALLER925]

well put. mrs matalin is simply a shill and advocate for the republican party, namely cheney, so she has to spout her talking points. what a joke.

[almamatters2471]

CNN is pitiful.

[GstateBALLER925]

i think this may be the result of why their ratings have been dropping. i like john king, but his loaded questions towards cheney a few months ago and bringing on idiotic conservatives while going easy on them is really biting them in the ass. i guess cnn is trying to go towards conservative point of views to seem fair, whereas msnbc has gone pretty much to the left with ed schultz recently. they seem to know their target audience, and cnn is just lost in translation.

[whitymale]

John king is a republican at CNN he never give Hillary chance to respond

[godw1thin]

It's painful to watch someone as intelligent as Ms. Matalin try and defend the rogues gallery of recent conservatism.

Making Cheney, et al. look decent human beings is like kicking water uphill, you ain't gonna win.

[gamoonbat]

Get back to the torture thing, babe. It gets me hot and bothered!

[burntonion05]

That was a great line by Wanda Sykes and it is so true. To bad the Repub party can't figure out how stupid it is to have a talk show drug induced moron as the head of their party. The joke is on them. lol

[reachright09]

I smell something ... oh BULL SHAAT... 2:35... if that were even true it would be because we haven't had a attack successful against us.... thanks to Bush.. this women is rambling and can not answer the question... Wake up America... Our country is being broken down before our very eyes

[GstateBALLER925]

no, youre just extremely paranoid and use sorry excuses to rationalize the typical conservative talking points. bush didnt do jack shit other than LET the country be attacked, invade 2 countries for almost nothing, put us into major debt with funding the war, and leaving obama with the financial mess. it is shameful for you to be thanking bush for anything other than ruining the country. the only one rambling is mrs matlin, and john king is letting her while hilary rosen is making sense.

[rhabdoviridae]

We have to give "reacharound09" a break. He/she was probably in a stationary clinic for the mentally ill the last 8 years and didn't catch all the shit Bush did. I mean if this person weren't in a clinic and is so concerned about the state of the nation, then he/she would have long since been up in arms.

Right?

[sst1]

I'd subscribe to the theory that he/she has been frozen since January of 2001, and has just thawed out.

[Scoppertop]

Mary Matalin was in the White House Iraq Group, who manufactured the WMD 'evidence' used to lie to Congress and the American citizens. She should be indicted along with the Bush Administration and the authors of the torture memos.

[GstateBALLER925]

"Mary Matalin was in the White House Iraq Group, who manufactured the WMD 'evidence' used to lie to Congress and the American citizens."

exactly... she is brought on cnn to conveniently defend the torture techniques using no facts and spewing anything far right republican related to back up her war criminal buddies.

[billyshake]

What's worse is, I don't think Mary believes anything she says; it's simply her job as a P.R. person to defend the far right. In my eyes, that makes her even worse; selling her dignity like this.

[thankulord13]

Rush is a drug addict. Loved how Mary tried to play down the toture but the reality is if it was not torture then how come the Bush officals won't sit before Congress and state their case?

[MrMan428]

"Conservatism" is newspeak for "war-monger."

Neocons are hardly true conservatives. Too bad they hijacked the Republican party to such a degree. It's great to see them on the defensive.

[upabittoolate]

mary is an idiot.

[crazytvfan815]

Did she say Second Wave attacks? like from 24? The fake terrorist organization from 24?

[integral]

Same old tripe from poor old Mary. Jeez.
