Dick Morris vouches for Novak: "He's never proven wrong. He's always right"
SUMMARY: In a Hannity & Colmes discussion of Robert Novak's column claiming that "[a]gents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information" about Sen. Barack Obama, Dick Morris said of Novak: "I know that Robert Novak is almost never wrong," adding: "He's never proven wrong. He's always right." Media Matters for America has identified numerous instances in which Novak has been "proven wrong" -- by others, and by himself.
In his November 17 column, nationally syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak wrote that "[a]gents of Sen. Hillary [Rodham] Clinton [D-NY] are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party's presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama [D-IL], but has decided not to use it." As Media Matters for America noted, Novak acknowledged on the November 19 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends that he had no personal knowledge of any "scandalous information," and that his source was not on the Clinton campaign, but rather a "well-known Democrat" who "was told by an agent of the Clinton campaign ... about the alleged scandal." Despite the complete absence of specifics in Novak's allegations or his sourcing, Fox News contributor and nationally syndicated columnist Dick Morris defended Novak's column during the November 19 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes and said of Novak: "I know that Robert Novak is almost never wrong," adding: "He's never proven wrong. He's always right."
Morris' praise of Novak notwithstanding, Media Matters for America has identified numerous instances in which Novak has been "proven wrong" -- by others, and by himself, including:
- Media Matters has documented Novak's continually evolving -- and frequently contradictory -- accounts of his July 8, 2003, conversation with then-deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, during which Armitage disclosed to Novak former CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA employee. Novak -- who later outed Plame in his July 14, 2003, column, sparking a Justice Department inquiry into the leak of Plame's identity -- has claimed that Plame's identity "was given to me as an offhand manner" and that his original source (subsequently revealed to be Armitage) "told me through a third party that the disclosure was inadvertent on his part." But he also said, challenging Armitage's account, in a September 14, 2006, column: "Armitage did not slip me this information as idle chitchat. He made clear he considered it especially suited for my column."
In his memoir, The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington (Crown Forum, July 2007), Novak wrote that in the exchange over Plame's identity, Armitage described the information as "real Evans and Novak." Novak added: "I believe he meant that was the kind of inside information that my late partner, Rowland Evans, and I had featured in our column for so long. I interpreted that as meaning Armitage expected to see the item published in my column."
Novak was quoted in a July 22, 2003, Newsday article saying of his interview: "I didn't dig it out, it was given to me," adding that his then-unnamed source "thought it was significant, they gave me the name and I used it." When later asked to reconcile that quote with his claims that the revelation was "offhand," Novak claimed both that his comments were not "very artfully put," and that Newsday misquoted him.
- In a June 4 column, Novak claimed that deputy White House political director Scott Jennings "targeted no candidate for support" during a January 26 political briefing for General Services Administration (GSA) administrator Lurita Doan and more than 30 of the agency's political appointees. In fact, according to a May 18 report by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, Jennings' briefing specifically targeted dozens of Republican candidates for support and Democratic candidates for opposition.
- In his March 12 column, Novak accused Sen. Clinton of "re-inventing her past" because Clinton's March 4 speech in Selma, Alabama, included a "claim of her attachment to Martin Luther King Jr. as a high school student in 1963," suggesting that this conflicted with her description of herself as a "Goldwater girl" in her memoir, Living History (Simon & Schuster, June 2003). As Media Matters noted, however, Clinton wrote in Living History both that she heard King speak when she was a teenager and that she was a Goldwater girl.
- In his August 28, 2006, column, Novak suggested that U.S. District Court Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's decision striking down the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program was so off-the-wall that it "has been stayed and probably will be reversed" by a federal appellate court. In fact, Taylor stayed her own order when the parties to the lawsuit -- the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the federal government -- agreed to ask her to do so.
- On the April 21, 2005, edition of CNN's now-defunct Crossfire, Novak claimed that President Bush and other Republicans "never said" Social Security should be privatized. As Media Matters noted at the time, Bush, members of his administration, and other prominent Republicans have advocated on several occasions that Social Security be "privatized." As a presidential candidate in 2000, Bush said: "What privatization does, it allows the individual worker his or her choice to set money aside in a managed account."
- On the February 21, 2005, edition of Crossfire, Novak defended the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, saying that their attacks on Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) during the 2004 presidential campaign were "honest" and "exactly correct." As Media Matters has noted several times, most of the Swift Boat Veterans' allegations about Kerry's Vietnam war service have been thoroughly discredited, often by official military records, but also by the Swift Boat accusers themselves, who struggled to keep their stories straight.
From the November 19 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
COLMES: We now continue with Dick Morris. I want to get to this Novak issue on this alleged bombshell. It's a he-said, he-said, somebody told me and I have no sources. Do we automatically believe a story with no name, no attribution, no sourcing? Novak said he heard it from somebody who was told, quote, "by an agent of the Clinton campaign about alleged dirt." This is so far removed from any kind of sourcing --
MORRIS: Well, the last time this particular columnist did something without a lot of sourcing, as I recall, you felt for it, hook, line, and sinker.
COLMES: I did?
MORRIS: Yep, when he said that Valerie Plame was outed by somebody in the Clinton [sic] administration and he wouldn't identify who. They named a special prosecutor --
COLMES: I didn't fall for that hook, line and sinker.
MORRIS: They spent hun -- well, he turned out to have been right. They spent -- they spent millions --
COLMES: Valerie Plame was outed by the Bush administration. That's not what I fell for. That wasn't my position.
MORRIS: -- no, no, Novak said she was outed by the Bush administration. And there was no sourcing on it. It was his word, and based on his word, all of Washington got turned upside down, named a special prosecutor, some poor son of a gun almost went to jail for it, even though he didn't do it, so --
COLMES: Well, fine. We found out there was Richard Armitage, we found out that there was Scooter Libby. Let's find out who the names are behind this.
MORRIS: -- so I -- so, you know and I know that Robert Novak is almost never wrong.
COLMES: I'm not questioning his talent as a reporter.
MORRIS: And therefore -- and therefore --
COLMES: I'm questioning that in this particular case, before you say, "Well, you know, I'm alleging that I have stuff on Obama, or at least I heard it from somebody who heard it from somebody," shouldn't there be some degree of sourcing?
MORRIS: No more than there was on the Valerie Plame story. One of the good things about Novak is, like Jack Anderson before him, he breaks stuff that always turns out to be right. He's never proven wrong. He's always right. But he doesn't get his sourcing.
BIGGEST NOVAK LIE OF ALL
During the summer of 2003, the Bush cabal and the right wing kept saying that WMD would be found. Excuses, like Iraqis fearing to come forward, or the size of Iraq were given to buy time.
Democrats were itching to call Bush on taking us to war when there were no WMD. Democrats hesitated though, because if one stuck his neck out and said there were no WMD, and WMD were found later, the Democrat would look foolish. So nobody said much about it for months.
By late summer though, the pressure built, and the first accusations were bubbling up.
Novak published a column that said WMD were found but the findings were secret and would not be announced until fall. Novak claimed to get the knowledge right from the chief arms inspector. Of course Novak was lying, but he was able to delay the truth from coming out for months to come.
Justice and Truth in the USA - Fact Check:
Actually, I want to commend MMFA for selecting a decent topic. The fact is that, once in a while, Novak makes mistakes.
Mistakes are not lies, however.
A lie is when a person knowingly tells a falsehood, like when Bill Clinton told all those whoppers like "I never had sex with that woman" etc. etc.
Right!
Republicans and their shills make mistakes.
Democrats tell lies.
We get it.
Dick Morris vouches for Novak?...
YES BUT...
Who's gonna vouch for Dickie Morris!!
Here's the biggest fact of them all:
JusticeTroll wouldn't recognize a fact if it came up and slapped him upside the head.
Do have any decency at all, man? It's called journalistic ethics. It's called you INVESTIGATE to make sure that your reported "facts" are actually facts and not just made up BS to support your radical agenda. When a journalist reports a "fact" that is "mistaken," it's becomes a LIE, unless he publishes a retraction upon discovering the mistake. (Or the mistake being pointed out to him.) And with the number of "mistakes" Novak has made - well either he's breathtakingly deceitful or mindnumbingly incompetant. Take your pick, just get him off air and out of the papers unitl neither of the above tags still apply.
(And he belongs in JAIL, anyway, for his invovement in leaking classified info. Let's just get W. out of office before we prosecute. That way - no pardon, and maybe some good testimony in exchange for leniency.)
No he has no decency. He is a pathetic troll. So pitiful he thinks its a good time to come to this site to annoy us. He has no interest in discussion, truth, or really anything except annoying the liberals here. He is pathetic. He is a troll
"Novak makes mistakes...Mistakes are not lies, however."
Apologize for him however you see fit.
Here's another fun fact for you...
MMFA did not call Novak a liar, not did it accuse him of lying.
As is the normal routine for MMFA, they quote the falsehoods and give you their research to back their claim. MMFA makes no determination of whether or not it was intentional deceit (lying) or a mistake.
MMFA makes no determination of whether or not it was intentional deceit (lying) or a mistake.
Interesting how JusticeTroll wants us to determine the INTENT of the deception and what Robert No-Facts was THINKING. Yet this is the one thing that so many dunderheads on his end of the political spectrum complain about where it comes to hate crime legislation - that you can't punish thought.....
As I wrote in reply to pete - I never said the MMFA accused Novak of "lying" -
My response was to creeksneakers2 who called Novak a "liar".
Totally unfair charge, of course.
The only thing that's unfair is you coming in here and mucking up the threads with your useless "Fact Checks". The only fact is you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Aw, crap. You're right.
I saw the usual ridiculous heading, but didn't notice your post was a reply.
Considering JustUs's comments had nothing to do with the post he was supposedly "replying" to, it was a reasonable enough mistake.
How many factual "mistakes" should the Chicago Sun-Times allow Novak to make before finally arriving at the conclusion that he is prone to factual "mistakes" and unfit to write for their publication?
As MMFA has pointed out, these "mistakes" are not a "once in a while" event.
If these are all truly "mistakes", then he is conveniently incompetent.
Actually, with Novak you have many years of solid reporting and stallar journalism.
Bob Novak is no liar like Dan Rather - "memo-gate"!
Truthy, Once again you have proven beyond reasonable doubt that you are above and beyond the intellectual capacity of the posters here at MM. I suggest that before you are lowered to their level that you stay away from here. People like you, and there are a few of you, deserve better. If you stay here, you will soon be prone to logic and sensibilty. And you would lose your inbred ability to be the TRUTHY. Sorry, I meant inborn...which may not be a word. See what I mean..your time is wasted here.
Once again you have proven beyond reasonable doubt that you are above and beyond the intellectual capacity of the posters here at MM. I suggest that before you are lowered to their level that you stay away from here.
princeofwheels
I've really been busy at work and tired of posting lately. I was even thinking of quitting and just giving it all up. But when I read your post - well I was really touched. Now I've changed my mind and I will keep contributing. As long as I'm reaching even ONE person, well, it's really all worth it.
Thanks for giving me the reason to go on! In fact, I'm dedicating my continuing participation at MMFA to you and people like you who keep on encouraging me.
Thanks -
Truthy, You better be careful...many people have fallen victim to common sense and facts. I still suggest that you leave before these terrible flaws are inflicted upon you. Remember, the founder of this website believed in your world and look what happened to him. For your sake, please help the Republans strive to take back their cherished Congress. Save yourself.
The lifeline will be cut and you may wake up as a TruthandJustice poster in a real world. Please save yourself.
I can give a ***t about Novak's resume at this point.
Dan Rather also has a sterling 50-year resume, and I also don't give a ***t.
Dan Rather still insists today that he believes the Bush memos were authentic.
So here's another question for you to dodge:
What proof do you have that Novak is merely "making mistakes" while Rather is lying?
Pete:
You actually provided me with all the evidence necessary to conclude that Rather is a liar. I mean, for Danny to continue to insist that the "memo-gate" might be true after all the evidence to the contrary puts him in the same league as Bill Clinton in terms of telling big whoppers!
As far as Novak is concerned, well his reputation for truth telling is so well known that I don't even have to make a case. Just go back and read all his great stuff.
(By the way, since most libs I know never bother reading conservative sources, I might point out that Novak was completely against the Iraq war from the start.)
Justice and Truth in the USA - Fact Check:
Considering there is no proof the Dan Rather story is untrue and Robert Novak prints the names of CIA operatives and unconfirmed rumors (and admitted hearsay at that) in his columns, I am going to have to side with Dan Rather on this one.
It wasn't even a close call.
I did notice that your decision was not final.
Good catch. I suppose that is the unfortunate consequence of having an open mind.
; )
i wonder if scott mcclellan's basically saying that bush had him lie to the press about the outing of valerie plame is going to get much attention. now some on the right are attacking mcclellan when what he did was report the denials of those involved. rove and libby did exactly what they were accused of. they were revealing the identity of an undercover agent to various reporters who were otherwise unaware, and bush did nothing about it. i take that back, he praised both as loyal americans.
Baloney AGAIN. You NEVER know what you are talking about. The memos have never been proven to be phony. They are copies. The CONTENTS of the memos HAVE been corroborated and authenticated though. So as usual you spew nonsense.
No, that is bunk. Novak has NO history of solid reporting. That history does not exist. He has earned the name NoFacts from the beggining of his career. He just spews the nonsense you guys like to hear.
It wasnt a reply it was a pathetic troll post. It was Novak blah blah CLINTON, its the CLENIS it robs me of sleep I am obsessed with the Clenis. THAT was what your stupid post was
The biggest lies of them all are when Justicetroll posts his usual bulls**t on this board and calls it "facts".
I have'nt done the research, but he has to be close to %100 . Almost all of his posts reference the Clintons in some way, no matter what the subject is, there is some sort of 7 degrees of separation way of adding a dig at the Clintons. Quite an achievement.
A lie is when a person knowingly tells a falsehood, like when Bill Clinton told all those whoppers like "I never had sex with that woman" etc. etc
I imagine Americans would prefer that 'lie' as opposed to say 2800 killed on 9/11, over 3800 killed invading the wrong country, WMD's are in Iraq, America is in danger from Iraq, We are winning, I'll fire anyone in my administration who leaks a covert CIA agent's identity, torture, wiretapping of American citizens or that really really good one, I'm a uniter not a divider. Ha yeah a little bj seems like a really big issue when you compare.
Once in a while? He's had the nickname NoFacts since the 70's
Or like when George Bush touted an IAEA report claiming in 98 that Iraq was six months from a nuclear weapon. When in fact there was no such report and he pulled it out of his ass.
Why has noone yet made the assertion that this supposed information Clinton has ploy is straight out of the Karl Rove playbook. I guess I just made that assertion.
yeah, Dick Morris has the credentials.
Dick Morris - toe-sucking liar.
I honestly read the headline as "Dick Morris douches for Robert Novak".
EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
:-)
We must be on the same medications because that's also how I read it at first.
Every time I see Morris's name the first thing that comes to mind is douchebag.
Dick Morris...... vouching for Robert Novak??
That's like taking Pat Robertson's word that his billions came as a heavenly gift from God and not from the fleecing of his flock..... not at all credible and quite hysterical to consider!
Only on FOX Noise could Morris be allowed to continously flap his gums!
Dick Morris...... vouching for Robert Novak??
Like Mike Tyson vouching for O.J. Simpson...
Like Mike Tyson vouching for O.J. Simpson...
Or Pete Rose putting in a good word for Michael Vick.....
Or that idiot Mark Levin nominating Rush Limbaugh for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Hey, Levin - if you're reading MMFA, you're a lying scumbag low-life!!!!
Mark Levin, aka 'The Great One', aka 'Mark LeTrashBin' in my book...
He is currently promoting his stupid doggie book to the point of absolute absurdity. He's been on Sean and Rush blathering about it for the past week or so. What an egotistical blowhard!
I hope he's reading this site too and I REALLY hope MMFA would put this paranoid psycho under the microscope. Up yours, you jerk!
It cracks me up that the "Great One" has to resort to using stupid nicknames for the people he hates. Like Hillary Clinton - he refers to her as either "Hillary Rotten Clinton or "Her Thighness". That second nickname would only make sence if she had heavy thighs, and she does not.....
I feel sorry for Mark Levin's kids. They're getting a distorted view of the word having an imbecile like that as a father.
That's the only reason why I listen to his moronic show... kinda like the Springer show - it just draws you in with its utter lunacy. It would actually be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. Levin's entire shtick is that namecalling trash. Without it he would be a zero.
Of course... I make sure to clean out my brain once the show is over by reading quality material from highly esteemed writers such as Bob Woodward. :)
I sometimes catch Levin's radio pukefest on my way home from teh office. I then clean out my brain by watching reruns of "The King of Queens" on one of our local channels.
Someone here posted a couple of months ago that calling Mark Levin "The Great One" must be code of some kind. I ran "The Great One" through an anagram generator to see if there was some hidden message. The best one, in my humble opinion, was "Orange Teeth". Try it, it's fun!
I think they call Mark Levin "The Great One" because he grates on everyone's nerves.....
Dick Morris vouching for the disgusting Robert Novak? Wonderful that is like Charles Manson vouching for Jeffery Dahmer. Morris and Novak are serial liars and make me sick.
SAVE DEMOCRACY, VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!!
Dick Morris vouching for Bob Novak is like George Bush vouching for Dick Cheney, or say Mark McClellan vouching for George Bush & Dick Cheney vouching for Scooter Libby & Karl Rove.
By the way, Dick thinks that a jury of people far better than himself (our peers) finding the Chief of Staff of the Vice President's office to be a perjurer and obstructer of justice therefore makes him innocent.
The idea that if you are a trusted staffer in the White House and the third guy to out a CIA agent, that makes it alright, no crime, is to say the Republican Leadership standard is the same as a criminal conspirator keeping silent and going to jail. Nice to be the President with those goodies like commutation, pardons, and the like.
The Mafia Code of Silence or better known as the #1 plank of the Republican Party.
Making the President obviously guilty of obstruction of justice in plain sight for all Americans to witness.
Face it, we are governed by a criminal organization. The Republican governing model in action, can't wait to see the Italian-American version of a Berlosconi Democracy if Rudy gets elected, or better yet maybe he'll show us how Mussolini could have got it right.
Happy Thoughts
Dan Grady
Dan well said, Happy Thanksgiving!!
"Charles Manson vouching for Jeffery Dahmer"
you're too funny Doris :)
Sometimes I do not know where I come up with these comparisons ;-)
Yeah, it's Obama and Clinton keeping this story alive.
This is clearly right wing misinformation of the worst sort.
They're now trying to insinuate themselves into the Democratic primary campaign.
Can't...get...past...headline....
fingers...numb...
bullshiiit detector... red-lining...
insanity...threshold............breached....
...world...going...black
Oh no! Nurse, bring me 3cc's of medical marijuana and a handgun ban STAT!!! Hurry!!! We're losing him!!!!
Lefty, you say things are going black... Do you see just black and white? Are the grays fading? Come on, man, stay with us here.
NURSE!!! Where's that handgun ban dammit?!? And call O'Really? and tell him to have his producer rush over a power point slide of the latest stats of soldiers killed in Iraq!!!
Okay people, we have to act fast! Somebody get the fetuses from 2 partial-birth abortions, and find a gay evolutionist for the transfusion. Barney, get to work on your worst pun ever. Tommy, just keep repeating to him about how lower taxes increase revenue and why Valerie Plame was not covert. Jeter, how 'bout them Yankees? I want him constantly monitored for any excretions of "welfare queen" from his mouth. And for God's sake, somebody burn that flag!!!
I only hope we're not too late.
Haven't seen anything like since...64.
Do you think a "Peace Now!" tee shirt will be needed? Someone to recite Ginsburg's Howl Some Acid Rock maybe?
I feel much better. thanks.That headline is a pretty concentrated dose of stoopid.Keep an eye on my chart, especially the red arrows.
HBL, There were reports on XOF NEWS that your demise was imminent. People that owe you money were jumping for glee. It will be a bad Turkey Day for them. Did you happen to see a BRIGHT LIGHT...and if you saw my uncle, the DUKE OF DOORS, did he mention where he left his money?
Well, you're not completely out of the woods yet, but you're well on your way to recovery. When the world went black and white, I thought we'd lost you. I'm just thankful that we live on a blog with a system of socialized medicine. I fear that had we been forced to wait for our comments to be reviewed and authorized, treatment would have been delayed and we would have lost you. At the very least, you would have had to spend your remaining days suffering with an irreparably damaged humerus, and by law, we couldn't even have euthanized you.
Well, I'm just glad that the treatment was successful.
Our Satanic preyer group was up all night preying on every type of small animal.
I sacrificed a small rodent for you.
Don't misunderestimate the power of people who prey.
'They're now trying to insinuate themselves into the Democratic primary campaign.'
what?
the last time i tried to insinuate myself 'into' anything...it really hurt.
I know...I know...believe me, I know.
My head hurts. Morris, vouching for Novak. Saying he hasn't been proven wrong ever, when he has been proven wrong, time, and time again. Jeesh... I'm still amazed that Morris has a job, as he's more of a one trick pony that Rudy is. Morris has Clinton, and Rudy has 9/11. Just keep repeating...
Rudy might be Mister 9/11 but Little Dick will always be known as... Mister 8 9 10 TOES.
Morris vouching for anyone is like poop calling poop poop. I hope that is not a bad word because then my hero, Poopeye The Sailorman, will be stricken from my files.
Morris vouching for Novak.
Okay, now I believe Fox is joking. It has to be a joke. Doesn't it??
Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.
They can think we are this dumb yet.
Sorry I meant.
They can't think we are that dumb yet. But of course the do.
How would you like to be the Republan Party Candidate who is being backed by Little Dick and Truthys' Dad and mentor in journalism, Bob Novak?
Dick Morris is one of the biggest jokes in American politics, and novak is one of America's biggest criminal traitors. The idea that Bob Novak would know anything about what goes on in the Clinton campaign is laughable. The fact that Morris would claim Novak is never wrong...well that once again proves why Morris is the laughing stock of US politics.
Who the f*** is Dick Morris?
A former and future Shoe salesman.
Dick Morris is a bitter hateful little man who thinks he is bigger than he is. He is part of the FOX trifecta of liars.
He isn't 'little' - except maybe in THAT way, but I digress - he needs to hit the treadmill. A brain enema wouldn't hurt him either.
Midget Morris and Novak are part of the GOP team to stop Hillary. Don't believe any of these aging hacks have to say.
MORRIS: -- so I -- so, you know and I know that Robert Novak is almost never wrong.
MORRIS: .... He's never proven wrong. He's always right.
Classic example of how Media Matters "cherry picks" a conversation.
WC, feel free to provide the context where that is not absolutely ridiculous.
I'm sure MMFA cut the part immediatly preceding where Dick said I would have to be a complete moron to say. Either that or WD40 has lost all touch with reality.
So, what you are saying is that MMFA cut out the part right before your quote where Morris said, "Only a brain-dead moron would utter the following words..."
OOPs Ja ya beat me to it. I HAVE to start reading more of the messages before I post
For WC4ME's benefit, here is the exact passage from MMFA's story above, with the portion of the "Hannity and Colmes" transcript"
MORRIS: -- so I -- so, you know and I know that Robert Novak is almost never wrong.
COLMES: I'm not questioning his talent as a reporter.
MORRIS: And therefore -- and therefore --
COLMES: I'm questioning that in this particular case, before you say, "Well, you know, I'm alleging that I have stuff on Obama, or at least I heard it from somebody who heard it from somebody," shouldn't there be some degree of sourcing?
MORRIS: No more than there was on the Valerie Plame story. One of the good things about Novak is, like Jack Anderson before him, he breaks stuff that always turns out to be right. He's never proven wrong. He's always right. But he doesn't get his sourcing.
Notice how there are no ellipses ( ... ) in that exchange? That means nothing was left out -thay is the EXACT conversation, EXACTLY as it transpired.
No "cherry picking" - simply a case of Dick Morris talking out of both sides of his mouth, and pulling his "facts" out of his butt - like usual.
Thanks, WZ. Apparently WC wasn't up to it, or thought just throwing out the term "cherry-picking" was enough.
Suggestion to MMFA: a test at registration before posting- define the following;
Cherry-picking
Ad Hominem
Fact
Out-of-context
activist judge
(for starters- hell, make it multiple choice)
If the right-wingers are currently complaining about the liberal media, imagine if the liberal equivelant of this masturbatory indulgence were occurring on the TV. It would be WWIII (or VI, according to some counts).
"Never proven wrong?" What kind of psychedelic toe fungus did Dick Morris ingest to come to that conclusion? Really, now.
Seriously, there is a reason why Novak has been historically referred to as "No-Facts." GOP talking points have had no basis in fact for decades now and all he does is spout those and whatever other sewage is pumped his way.
Stopped clocks are right more often than Bob "******-bag of liberty" Novak...if that bag-eyed traitor told me the sky was blue, i'd have to go outside and look up to see for myself
Morris is licking his chops & probably somebody's toes over this.
Having Morris vouch for anyone's honesty ain't much of a reliable endorsement.
Morris is of course hoping something leads back directly to the Clintons.
This guy has such a huge chip on his shoulder about Bill & Hill, it amazes me that he can get out of his chair.
Dick Morris stated on the O'Reilly Factor that he would leave this country if Hillary were elected President.
So if for no other reason, the people should vote for Hillary just to get some of the filthy garbage out of this country, even though I think Hillary is the best and I will be voting for her.
Call her a bitch if you must, but I think that is what we need in the White House today. She isn't running a popularity contest.
She means business.
So good bye you little pimp "Morris" and take O'Reilly with you.Maybe he could move to Qatar and share a place with Michael Jackson.......
MMFA did not call Novak a liar, not (sic) did it accuse him of lying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, pete, I never said that MMFA called Novak a liar (another strawman argument!). My reply was to creeksneakers2 who wrote:
"BIGGEST NOVAK LIE OF ALL"
In fact, I said that MMFA did a good job on this topic in my post, didn't I!
Please, Pete, if you're going to accuse me of anything, try to get your facts straight.
Justice AND Truth in the USA!
Hey, JusticeTroll - isn't it time for you to go back to Free RepubliKKK?
Justice AND Truth in the USA! Congratulations! You really nailed it today with your "fact Check"! You proved that Novak simply made a mistake and did not tell a lie! Good job! Wait a minute.............. you simply don't know what Novak was thinking. Clearly you're drinking more than JUST.ICE.T,RUTH.
Morris is probably shrimping Novak right now.
barf
Don't, Don't make me larf! Its murder on the back of the throat y'know.
Just saw a rerun of "the ROCK" doing the "Walking Tall" story.
In particular, there's the scene where the outgoing (corrupt) sheriff says to the new sheriff Rock, "We operate on professional courtesy here. I personally can vouch for all these deputies ... they're all fine law enforcement workers."
The Rock: "You're all fired."
So much for "vouching" ...
Yeah, Novak is never wrong unless he is challenged and he walks off the set. He knew what he was doing and he probably thought that he would profit from it. Since he played ball with this administration he was able to remain in the game.
Just like other so called journalists, like Armstrong Williams. He was paid by the Bush administration to praise NCLB. Novak must have been paid for his dirty doings.
novak is simply an embalmed corpse that THE CORPORATE MEDIA / REPIGLICANS provide electro shocks too to make it walk and talk as needed to accomplish their evil agenda. so of course the repiglican corporate robots like the ever deranged, rabid, GE MONKEY with it’s little hat on that is attached at the end of a rope to the GE ORGAN that then dances to it’s tunes, the brown spot in the back of Jack Walshes panties, Miss Chris Matthews is all to happy to act out this evil agenda.
I do not understand Hillary & the medias comments about Obama's "Scandulous past" "connections to a Madrasa" Good Lord, Can Americans get anymore ignorant, and these people are supposed to be the educated amongst us. the arabic word for school is madrassa, any school or place of learning is called a Madrassa, We have many Madrassa's here in the US. Second of all, So what if he is or was a muslim. Are you people crazy? there are millions of muslims in the US why do you perpetuate the legend that all muslims are terrorists. Secondly, Hillary should watch her own family, when I went to Morrocco the people were very proud that Hillary's sister was married to a morrocan and the clintons visit their country quite often. I do not know if this is true or not. But maybe her sister is a terrorists too. I am so disgusted in this country's blatent racism. I guess muslims are the new "Niggas" now you have another group to hate, I guess poor Obama doesn't have a shot in this country since He's black and has so called "muslim ties". Please go read something other than media trash learn about other countries, and people. Travel outside of the US, As a matter-of-fact talk to the Muslims in your own country. You will have one in your family soon as Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US, not bad for a bunch of terrorists!
