Liz Cheney: Obama 'most radical' ever in Oval Office

[47of74]

Like father, like daughter;

In her op-ed Friday, Cheney cautioned against the party moving too far to the middle.

"You can be sure that President Obama would welcome an America in which the Republican Party is preoccupied with remaking itself into a watered-down version of the Democrat," she wrote.

After ticking off a number of the president's policies that she considers destructive–"Obama is the most radical man ever to occupy the Oval Office"–Cheney urged her fellow Republicans to fight back strong.

"Now is the time to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and man the barricades for freedom," she said.

Yeah, you go with that Liz.

How does this happen?

16. Poster child for nepotism and back-up singer for "Dickie and the Deferments".

She still manages to ooze under a studio door now and again, just long enough to feign relevance.

2. More radical than the Founders?

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Really? More "radical" than FDR?

News to me.

[elehhhhna]

8. more radical than her daddy and GWB? HARDLY.

If she showed her t!ts," 'MERICA!!1!" would take her opinion more seriously.

18. If only this President was a radical leftist socailist

I wish to Christ the President would realize that people like Rush Limpdick, Dildo O'Reily, and ol' Slanthead Hannity are going to call him a leftist and socialist no matter what he does, so he might as well go ahead and do the right thing.

4. Sounds like a frank luntz approved word for repugs to use against Dems:

'Radical.'

[JimDandy]

5. She couldn't have ever said that with a straight face

in person, which is why it's in an op-ed.

[Skidmore]

6. I'd say a Cheney on the 2016 ticket is just what we need.

[gulliver]

24. Yup. Run Liz, run!

[spanone]

7. begone satan...

[JaneyVee]

9. Radical because he's fighting for her right to marry?

[RevStPatrick]

11. That would be her sister...

Mary.

[RevStPatrick]

10. You know Liz, that's the beautiful thing about freedom of speech...

Anyone is allowed to say any dumbass thing they want, no matter how far removed from reality, and nobody can stop you.

Of course, those of us who have been paying attention, understand how big a dumbass you are...

12. +1

13. Enough to make one wonder what Liz smokes

14. DO they realize they sound like total idiots to average people

when they say,"...man the barricades for freedom." I wonder?

[otohara]

15. Says The Spawn of The Most Evil

man to serve as both POTUS/VPOTUS

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. Did he completely lie the country into war and expose CIA agents to cover his ass?

No? No, you say?

Then fuck YOU, Cheney brood.

[magellan]

19. The Repubs can't remake themselves as watered-down Dems

The Dems have already filled that position.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. heh!

[pinboy3niner]

20. "Yada, yada, yada, Benghazi, yada, yada, yada"

Just a recycling of the tired, old talking points.

[heather blossom]

21. Aside from the Wall street Journal

Does anyone take her seriously?

[GoCubsGo]

22. Well, well. Look who crawled out from under her rock again.

Go away, Lizzy. Nobody gives a shit what you think.

[Swede Atlanta]

23. I sincerely hope....

that Reince Preibus embraces Liz Cheney and thrusts her into the public limelight as the shining future of the party.

As a gay man I have no problem with her sexual orientation or her choice to marry her partner and raise children together. The only good thing I can say about Darth Cheney is he supports his daughter's right to live her life equitably with other Americans. That is as far as I will go and chastise him for riding and promoting the 2004 hate campaign against the LGBT community in the states to secure a second term.

But let's just let Liz become a spokesperson for the GOP. Her father single-handedly wrote an energy policy with his buddies in the industry that stifled investment in renewables and doubled-down on gas, oil and coal. Her daddy pressured the CIA in the run-up to the Iraq War. Her father lied us into a war that cost over 4K American lives, probably hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives and cost the U.S. a trillion dollars all of which was not funded because he and W wanted to give their rich buddies even more of the loot.

Her daddy shot his friend in the face. Her daddy was certainly involved in the outing of Valerie Plame. We could go on and on.

I really hope the GOP prances her out in 2014 and 2016. This only bodes well for the Democrats.

[LeftishBrit]

30. Actually it's her sister Mary who is raising a child in a same-sex relationship...

though no doubt both are excessively right-wing and blindly loyal to their criminal father.

Liz Cheney is, I think, the one who accused President Obama of abandoning support for key allies like Israel, Poland, and, wait for it ... Czechoslovakia. Bit difficult to support a country that hasn't existed for 20 years! And this is someone who was employed by the State Department under Bush. It just shows that too often, as the saying goes, 'it's not what you know; it's who you know'.

[Cha]

26. That's right lizzy.. keep lying and pushing the gopricks off the cliff. That's

how we win against all the hate filled airwaves.

[Kath1]

35. Right on, Cha!

"GOPricks" - Love it!

[surrealAmerican]

27. Ha, ha, ha.

Even when the grammar is so convoluted as to strain comprehension, she cannot call us the Democratic Party.


Also Obama is no Andrew Jackson; heck, he's not even as radical as Ronald Reagan.

[mother earth]

28. Substitute black for radical. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it? nt

[mercymechap]

29. I'm sorry -

President Obama and all the sensible people in America do not welcome

an America in which the Republican Party is preoccupied with remaking itself into a watered-down version of the Democrat,"

We would like to see the Republican Party totally diminished, nothing but a bad memory never to be seen again.

[Raine]

32. IF ONLY ... I wish Obama was a fraction of the radical they claim he is. nt

[47of74]

43. Me too.

[fadedrose]

33. Sure Liz. Thanks for explaining this to us.

[Walk away]

34. Those Cheneys are dangerous nuts. nt

[Kath1]

36. Liz Cheney?

That makes me support Obama all the more!

[datasuspect]

37. she's a fucking stupid motherfucker

[arely staircase]

38. I think W was the most radical

not even Reagan was as blatant about aggressive militarism, cronyism and dismantling the social safety net.

[cliffordu]

39. And who would actually listen to that crankpot?

Except the True Believers.

Mebbe her and the Frothy Mix can do a double act.

And go fuck themselves.

[blogslut]

40. Oh, Liz

That line is so tired I fall asleep just reading it.

[Kurovski]

41. Good Liz, go even further right, you corrupt moron.

That last 30 million voters who still like like all of your garbage are very important to your piece of shit party.

Just keep massaging their pucker-knots, they really dig that. And everyone else can see what a degenerate no-go mess Pubbies really are.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

42. Fuck You and Your Dick Father, Liz!

[OldDem2012]

44. Yeah...that's totally believable, just like WMDs in Iraq. The Cheney Family Truth Squad. nt.

[Initech]

45. I don't think they know what the word "radical" means.

[DearHeart]

46. Why cant the spawn of Satan go back to hell??

Love how she thinks that her opinion is even relevant...don't recall the rest of the republican party following her. Ugh, had a horrible thought~what if she runs for President!

Anyone think she would??

[DisgustipatedinCA]

47. This is a good thing. Here's why:

The high profile daughter of the Vice President (who functioned more like the President, or better yet, a despot) is being laughed at. She's not being taken as a serious person. And people feel the same way about her old man. So not only is she helping to cleave the GOP (from the side that will inevitably lose, by the way), she's also seen as a laughingstock. Keep talking, Liz. Man those barricades.
