What Cheney meant: "Vote for us or we'll kill you!"

[Jim Sagle]

Even though he retracted it, he got his point across.

1. That's when I Flick a Cigarrette in his eye!

Although, I quit smoking 9 months ago.

[Stephanie]

2. That's right.

They'd happily kill us all.

3. Vote for us or we'll shoot this dog.

My question, how does he know they'll attack?

And if he knows they'll attack with Kerry at the helm, did he know about the attack when Bush was misguiding the nation?

How does he know? And what kind of dog will he shoot?

I hope it's not a weiner dog:

4. Is Cheney in violation of USA-PATRIOT Act?

(a) DOMESTIC TERRORISM DEFINED.—Section 2331 of title 18, USC, is amended....

(5) the term ‘domestic terrorism" means activities that
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion;

Threatening to act, or conspiring to act, is covered, as well as acting.

And harboring is covered, too, so that includes Junta Boy.

You go get the handcuffs, while I type up the articles of impeachment.

9. YOW! He sure the hell is.

Guilty of domestic terrorism. Guilty. GUILTY! GUILTY!!!

On edit: I think that must be why he retracted it so quickly. Regardless, if I rob a bank, I'm still guilty even if I return the money 15 minutes later.

Mr. Wilson, your Marching Frog is ready!

[Jim Sagle]

13. It's a deal! I'll meet you at Gitmo (because that's where we'd end up if

we actually tried it). ;-)

[dmr]

17. He believes he is above the law

I only wish we had an ethical Congress in which to start impeachment proceedings.

5. exactly the way I took his death threat

[CarolynEC]

6. "Death threat" -- that's a good verbal shorthand we can use...

... when referring to Cheney's outrageous statement.

Very effective -- thanks!

:)

[Renew Deal]

8. lol

I think you're right.

[rullery]

10. Cheney was involved in outing Valerie Plame as a CIA agent,

which is a felony! I believe a grand jury is looking at this now!

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Oh come now...

There are not nearly enough small planes to go around. :) :) :)

Would that an ad would be put out with that statement.

14. fear fear fear

when Micheal Moore talk to the students at columbine he said "fear fear fear" and that is all this admin.can run on.

[Jim Sagle]

15. I note that Randi Rhodes is agreeing with this interpretation

of what Cheney said.

[Stephanie]

21. Mo Dowd agrees too - see my post below

She quotes you!

[Beetwasher]

18. Cheney The Hit Man Issued a Not-So-Veiled Threat Against The Entire US

Yup, he absolutely did...I call that blackmail and terrorism and downright vile...

[Stephanie]

19. Hey Jim Sagle - Maureen Dowd reads YOU

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/09/opinion/09dowd.html?hp

WASHINGTON — George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have always used the president's father as a reverse lodestar. In 1992, the senior Mr. Bush wooed the voters with "Message: I care.'' So this week, Mr. Cheney wooed the voters with, Message: You die.

The terrible beauty of its simplicity grows on you. It is a sign of the dark, macho, paranoid vice president's restraint that he didn't really take it to its emotionally satisfying conclusion: Message: Vote for us or we'll kill you.

[Cocoa]

20. no doubt about it, that's what Cheney was saying

what frightening times we live in.
