34. Boy Do We Need An Edward Murrow!!
Tweety did a surgical job on O'Neill...he was measured on how he went about it (unlike his usual bombastic style) and he didn't do a thorough job.

Surely Tweety's done his homework on this topic and had seen O'Neill's other appearances; each one unmasking him further. He knew about the Colson connection (Lawrence O'Donnell brought that out two nights ago), hinted at his Houston/Repugnican connections, but didn't nail him as the fraud Tweety must surely know he is.

Yes, he can't bend over backwards and sound like Kerry's surrogate, but there was more that he could have asked or probed further and he pulled back. I'm not sure if time got away from him or he's holding all this info back for another reason, but there are still some unanswered question about Mr. O'Neill that beg to be put in the same light O'Neill places Kerry, and by assocation, the U.S. Navy.

We need someone who will finally stand up and do what Murrow did with McCarthy and speak in direct language of what is happening here and how extremely deceptive this "Swiftboat" operation is. This is beyond unethical or a "dirty trick"...this is an attempt to destroy a man's life that will taint him for the rest of his life...win or lose this election...and all based on such biased and pre-determined reasons.

Someone has to bring up the Rehnquist connections (quid pro quo??), the money he's donated to Repugnicans (Kudos to the rapid response here...but we're posting to the choir...why didn't Tweety have that list ready to waive in O'Neill's face???) It only took 30 seconds for someone to pull it up and post it here...it's not that hidden.

Next is to expose this goon Corsi and not let O'Neill weasel out as to his role in the gathering of the "information" and the writing of this slime. Other Texas connections must be exposed as well. The folks at Bartcop found some great stuff about the server the site is hosted on and the many co-incidental relationships...ala Arkansas project, that's going on here.

Yes, for most people, the lie has been spread and Kerry has been damaged. There's not much that can be done now, but to press for the accusers to now stand under the same light at the accused. Tweety failed not only his viewers, he failed himself in not putting the truth ahead of the spin.
