BECK: OK. No offense, and I know Muslims. I like Muslims. I`ve been to mosques. I really don`t believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I -- you know, I think it`s being hijacked, quite frankly.

With that being said, you are a Democrat. You are saying, "Let`s cut and run." And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies."

What the fuck??? I expect asshats like Rush to say things like this. This is CNN? This? Fire the son of a bitch and let him go try to dislodge someone at Faux.

Another benefit of voting for Democrats that was overlooked this campaign season: you vote Democratic and you get someone who can actually sing (and know the words to) the National Anthem.

Worth a listen. They're much better than a lot of the hacks who do this at the ballpark.

Crooks and Liars � Colbert Welcomes Newly Elected Representative John Hall

Video of Fox talking with Katie Couric. Wow. Absolutely incredible.

Crooks and Liars - Michael J Fox makes a fool out of Limbaugh

It's just a misplaced letter, but what a misplaced letter: Swapping a "D" for an "R" last night, Fox News and "The O'Reilly Factor" labeled disgraced pedophile Congressman Mark Foley, longtime Republican, as a Democrat.

Thanks Faux News. Why don't you just mislead people more.

Olbermann’s Special Comment: Are YOURS the actions of a true American?

I get the strong feeling KO despises W. And he's so damn good at articulating why!

Crooks and Liars » Olbermann’s Special Comment: Are YOURS the actions of a true American?

That led to Keitel rewriting most of his own lines - which in turn meant almost daily revisions for cast members who had scenes with him.

A particular point of contention was a scene in which O'Neill, observing reams of Arabic documents, asks his assistant, "Do we have Arab translators?" only to be told, "I don't know of any. I'll call around."

"Keitel couldn't understand why the FBI didn't have Arabic translators, so the dialogue was changed on the spot," said a script supervisor.

On one occasion, Keitel holed up in his hotel for an entire day with director David Cunningham revising the script.

Other times, Cunningham would "fumble through the 9/11 Commission book trying to figure out how to correct details Keitel called into question," said the script supervisor.

Wow. Thanks Harvey. Too bad it didn't get the project scuttled, but it could have obviously been much worse.

BILL SICS LEGAL EAGLES ON ABC By PHILIP RECCHIA and JENNIFER FERMINO - New York Post Online Edition: News

Dissent and disagreement with government is the life’s blood of human freedom; And not merely because it is the first roadblock against the kind of tyranny the men Mr. Rumsfeld likes to think of as "his" troops still fight, this very evening, in Iraq.

It is also essential. Because just every once in awhile… it is right — and the power to which it speaks, is wrong.

Olbermann blasting Rummy and the administration, with the video available. He may not be Murrow, but he's closer than anyone else on the air right now.

Crooks and Liars » Keith Olbermann Delivers One Hell Of a Commentary on Rumsfeld

An editor at The Hill has verified that it was indeed Jonathan Kaplan on the second segment of the call, who said, “Screw that and Screw him.”

“Thank you for sending the files. There’s no doubt it was Kaplan.”

The interchange was a clear example of the real bias of some in the media, who allow themselves to be played by the GOP. Mike Conallen, the GOP CoS who hacked into the call had revealed that day that “a reporter” gave him the dial in information.

There's a nice line in audio that basically confirms this as a deliberate move, Kaplan saying "Mike? You gonna help me out here?" This guy's next job will probably be at Fox because there's no question about what he did here.

King urged the Justice Department to "begin an investigation and prosecution of The New York Times," and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, asked the administration to make an assessment of damage caused by the stories.

I'm confused. How is the re-disclosure of this (it was orginally cited in a UN report in 2002) threaten anything? The only NEW thing that has come out is that it looks like Congress wasn't notified that they were doing so, and Congress may not even need to be notified? Furthermore, why are they not calling for the heads of the LA Times and the Wall Street Journal?

The bottom line is, this is bullshit. If they were honest about this, they'd be going after everyone, instead they're screaming "New York Times! New York Times!" like Chicken Little. The information has been out there and publically recommended by the UN for three and a half years. The only "threat" this news report was to national security was to George and Dick's continued tenure. The actual threat is less than zero.

Now here's a better question and it's why are they REALLY so pissed off? Since the information is of little/zero use in going after terrorists, what were they actually doing with the information? Would it have anything to do with the phone records? How about all the data they have from ChoicePoint? How about the NSA rooms that appear to be designed to monitor the whole internet?

George Orwell, meet George Bush.

GOP Resolution Blasts Times For Leaks, Measure To Condemn Newspaper For Disclosing Intelligence Program - CBS News

OLBERMANN: Wrong answer. When you are that wrong, when you are defending Nazi war criminals and pinning their crimes on Americans and you get caught doing so twice, you‘re supposed to say I‘m sorry, I was wrong, and then you‘re supposed to shut up for a long time. Instead, FOX washed its transcript of O‘Reilly‘s remarks Tuesday. Its Web site claims O‘Reilly said in Normandy, when, as you heard, in fact, he said in Malmedy.

The rewriting of past reporting worthy of George Orwell has now carried over into such online transcription services as Burell‘s and Factiva. Whatever did or did not happen later in supposed or actual retribution, the victims at Malmedy were Americans, gunned down while surrendering by Nazis in 1944 and again Tuesday night and Wednesday night by a false patriot who would rather be loud than right.

The full segment is viewable here. Thank you Crooks and Liars for posting it.
