1. I'm right there with you! If this crap doesn't get SOMEBODY to pay
attention-I don't know what will! It's like this country exists on two different levels...it's bizarre! It's more than that, really. It's terrifying! DOES ANYONE HAVE A PULSE OUT THERE? :spank:

2. Most of the American people just don't think.
If they thought about it, they'd have to care. Caring takes time away from the TV. Plus, they feel safer when they don't give a shit.

7. I am well pissed off and outraged
And I've made no secret of it here at DU and elsewhere

the M$M, on the other hand, use "outrage" as a label for some invented condemnation of liberals, like they use xyz"gate" for scandals.

5. No outrage might mean this was not news
I am beginning to think that part of the reason that there is so little outrage over the release of this memo is that most people deep down already knew the main point.

In a bizarre way, the too often repeated mantra "Everything changed after 911" is almost the political equivalent to being born again. Thinking this way, Bush was politically born again as a terror fighting warrior after going through 911. Just as the first 40+ or so years of his life don't count, what he did before 911 does.

To his supporters, 911 was too awful to assign blame for.

9. LIHOP?
Much as I hate all the Bush administration has done, I'm not convinced that they intentionally let it happen. My reason for not believing - there are too many basically decent Republican Senators -( Snow, Collins, Chaffee, Lugar, Hagel, McCain) come to mind, who would not stay quiet - Although I might disagree with virtually every vote they make, I think most of them are good people.

I do think they were "criminally" negligent then blatantly used 911 sympathy to push a radical agenda.

10. It is my opinion that those who would type such 'denial'
haven't taken the time to actually look at the MOUNTAIN of evidence to the affirmative.

It is far more comforting to go on believing there isn't mass murdering treasonous criminals in our government.

11. I have taken notice of the lack of outrage myself.
I think every Senator who had the huevos to vote against condiSleezy should make this a talking point when they are interviewed. We could shut up the freakin fascist from yelling *obstructionist* any time a Dem does their job with integrity.

Conversely, their is a very long list of Senators that need this slammed against their heads (figure of speech) as a wake up call of the consequences of their actions or lack of actions.

13. Agreed
We are facing the death of our nation, and most definitely the death of democracy. I wonder & worry when I hear Dems say not to speak up, that we need to cooperate more & play good politics if we ever expect to get any where. According to them, we will all sound like kooks if we speak truth to power.

Silence is the voice of complicity. I, for one, will not be complicit in the subversion of our Constitution & crimes against humanity.

15. teevee sez it's OK - go back to sleep
Robert Parry
When the Right’s Mighty Wurlitzer powers up, it can drown out almost any competing message and convince large portions of the U.S. population that fantasies are facts, explaining why so many Americans believe that weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq and that Saddam Hussein collaborated with al-Qaeda in the Sept. 11 attacks.

19. Whatever you think of the memos, you miss the point.
Edited on Wed Feb-16-05 12:44 PM by Al-CIAda
Rice LIED UNDER OATH -repeatedly.

To the 9/11 cOmission
To the Congress
To the American people.
To the world.


Bush LIED -repeatedly.
Cheney LIED -repeatedly.
The ENTIRE Administration actively, willfully committed treasonous acts.
