Liars in the Press

I am so tired of this crap Andrea Mitchell today on Meet the Press: But I think what’s most unhelpful to John Kerry in this regard is Al Gore. The Al Gore speech sets out what is a growing feeling in the Democratic base. We want out. We want quick withdrawal. There is absolutely nothing [...]

How Cheney would spin the Day After Tomorrow. They are all good, but my favorite was this: “The warnings we received about global warming were based on unsound science and were frustratingly vague. Rest assured, had we received any warnings that mentioned a specific date and time, or specifically mentioned the Statue of Liberty being [...]

Pandagon catches the Boston Herald in several out and out lies — and name calling — in response to Gore’s speech. Another example of a right wing source reosrting to lies and character assasination instead of dealing with the substance of the remarks.

<a title="»«TBogg»«” href=”http://tbogg.blogspot.com/2004/05/time-to-come-out-of-closet.html”>»«TBogg» has a run down of conservative response to Gore’s speech. The bloggers and columnists he cites — including Rush Limbaugh and NRO — do not address anything Gore said in speech.
