Darth Cheney Speaks

The Force is strong in this one


...Our government prevented attacks and saved lives through the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which let us intercept calls and track contacts between al-Qaeda operatives and persons inside the United States. The program was top secret, and for good reason, until the editors of the New York Times got it and put it on the front page. After 9/11, the Times had spent months publishing the pictures and the stories of everyone killed by al-Qaeda on 9/11. Now here was that same newspaper publishing secrets in a way that could only help al-Qaeda. It impressed the Pulitzer committee, but it damn sure didn’t serve the interests of our country, or the safety of our people.

That's some serious smack-downage.

Read the whole thing.

It's important.

Dang, that's a GOOD speech. Straight, to the point, and honest. Obama could learn more than a few things from Mr. Cheney.

Beyond the Bush policies that he's already endorsed, I mean.

What could he learn? How to torture people. Cheney talks about saving 1000's of lives if not hundreds of thousands by keeping the terrorists busy. So the 1000's of US soldiers and 100's of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians displaced and killed are less important than us? Please! Maybe if the next heart attack is fatal we won't have to listen to this crap any longer. He should go shoot himself in the face. He will rot in hell where he belongs for the atrocities he committed against mankind.

Steve, I'm guessing you didn't bother reading or listening to Mr. Cheney's speech. He was certainly a lot more civil to Obama than you were to Cheney. So you could learn a thing or two, as well.

The only thing bad about this speech was (as Kathy Shaidle put it):

“Cheney’s speech was the best speech of the Bush administration. Too bad it was months/years late.”

"Maybe if the next heart attack is fatal we won't have to listen to this crap any longer."

Steve-You stay classy. It is obvious from your comment that you have never listened to him in the first place.

"He should go shoot himself in the face."

You first.

"He will rot in hell where he belongs for the atrocities he committed against mankind."

Your lies and slander are an atrocity against all of civilization. Your kind will rot in your own filth.

Golly! What a delightful fellow steve is and how nice he stopped by. I do so enjoy the peace, love and fellowship of our leftist brethren.

Cheney is a jerk, unamerican, vastly unpopular, bitter, and a total failure as VP. The right wing fanatics who still worship cheney and bush are a tiny, vocal minority who had their turn for 8 years and failed miserably. get over it, right wing fanatics. shave your heads and move to northern idaho. You lose, so get over it. the rest of us are moving on and cleaning up the mess left by bush and cheney.

Hey "bb," are you the same poster as "steve"? Certainly seems like it since you're spouting the same deranged talking points.

Nothing done at Gitmo amounted to torture. Unpleasant, sure, but fight by Marquis of Queensbury rules and thousands or millions die so that you can preserve your egomaniacal self-righteousness. FACT: if we hadn't waterboarded KSM, Al-Qaeda would most likely have pulled off its second wave by taking out the Library Tower in downtown L.A. Would that have been OK to keep yourself morally pure in your own mind?

Dick Cheney is a grownup. Barack Obama is a narcissistic preening child.

Ah, let's all bask in the love and tolerance from the left. We already knew they're sore losers, but now we see they're sore winners, as well.

I can understand their desperation, though - they fear their window to transform the US into a socialist fascist state is closing. And then they must suffer the nagging doubt that the rest of us will march meekly into the Gulags just on their say-so. Oh, what's a cowardly would-be totalitarian goon to do?

But stay classy, guys! Don't choke on your own bile. I'm looking forward to your thoughtful input through the times ahead.

BTW, Bingley, I don't think "That's some serious smack-downage" is proper grammer. I believe you meant "serious smackage-down."

JeffS, I find it interesting that people will jump and say "do not judge", but if you study the bible you will see it is ONE judgment that is researved for God alone to make, that is every persons FINAL judgement.

You have made that JUDGMENT in your comment.

You have the right to say that one may be headed to hell if they do not change their ways, but not that they ARE going to hell as if it is already said and done....


The bible teaches how to, what to, and when we ARE to judge, and why.

If you are SLAPPED in the face, turn also the other cheek, but if your shot or stabbed, thats a different story, unless your stupid.

If your not BORN MUSLIM, and RAISED MUSLIM, your an INFIDEL,if your JEWISH or an INFIDEL your AN ETERNAL ENEMY of the Quran and ISLAM and must have your head cut off as the favored choice of extermination. DON'T BELIEVE IT? READ THE QURAN, HADITH, AND SURRAH......

The QURAN and the US CONSTITUTION can NOT exist side by side! THEY ARE OPPOSITES!!!

READ IT AND LEARN YOUR ENEMY AS JEFFERESON DID!!!

For an easy, fast, and free start, try p r o p h e t o f d o o m D O T n e t (remove spaces and replace the word dot with a period), you'll see right away this is a no lies book amd it is free online for YOUR PROTECTION!

"Serious smackage-down" sounds like some place in the english countryside, though, doesn't it, steve?

Graduate, um, ohhhh-kayyyyyyy...

gradu-spammer, try this link for some additional info about the hidden agenda of Islam.

(five to one it's the same spammer using different sock puppets, Bing.)

Well the ips are reasonably different, guns. But that thought certainly did occur to me.

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 22, 2009 06:53 AM

I'm thinking IP spoofer.

(ths waves "hiya!!!" vigorously at the Skub)

Bingley can sure attract the cranky ones. It's a peculiar talent. If only it were pecuniary as well ~ we could retire. Move to France.

Posted by: tree hugging sister at May 22, 2009 08:06 AM

Yo, "Gradute"! Take your lithium, dude.

Sis, it ain't The Bingster what's drawing the moonbats, it's Darth Cheney. Sorry about that, but why move to France anyway? The cheese and wine?
