1. WH replied already condemning his statement.
Edited on Thu Jun-17-10 10:52 AM by Skidmore
Said it was shameful.


Pat Buchanan said it was "political courage." But ole Pat thinks Nixon was sane and honest.

8. That was the statement of a political coward; willing to sacrifice the best interests of his
constituents and millions of other Americans to the Republican Prime Directive of corporate supremacy over the American People and their government, fuck Barton and Buchanan.

Thanks for the thread, Stinky the Clown.

10. See if Fox and Hate Radio pick this up as their talking point.
It was courageous in that Barton was standing with GOP main
constituency (Business) through thick and thin.

I am not saying I agree with him. He does have a spine.
Barton is from OIL COUNTRY,

13. Barton was trying to capture the thrill of his original "you lie" moment.
Turned that one into a goldmine.

17. I agree, you'd have to be pretty brave to make a totally idiotic statement like that!
