Where to begin? There's so much hackery in one four minute segment. But you do have to hand it to the FOXNews Sunday panel for their expertise in turning the news of the destroyed CIA tapes into a bipartisan scandal--note Brit Hume's insertion--absent any proof or confirmation--that it was Democratic members who wanted to know if the waterboarding was severe enough. But once again, it's William "The Bloody" Kristol who wins the hypocrite award, by just a few minutes earlier questioning the CIA's credibility and/or ability to gather intelligence on Iran's nuclear program saying and then declaring that we should just trust the CIA that destroying the tapes was in the interest of national security. Oy.

Fox News is today's answer to the Squadrismo in Fascist Italy
I really want to know what sort of stomach balm you guys take to be able to sit through one of these segments. I'm headed straight for the crapper with an empty bottle of pepto bismol in my hand every time I click on one of these videos.
You gotta know Larry Craig was on those tapes...

I'm sorry, I just can't watch. Bill Kristol is Satan.
FOX is State Sponsored TV and should be shut down.
WTF! You know that these hypocritical fools would have been screaming bloody murder had this happened under the Clinton administration. You'd have every panelist there accusing Clinton of deleting the tapes himself. But because it happened under their man-crush-Bush-boy administration, obviously it was a brilliant move for the CIA to destroy evidence. I bet you this administration could actively encourage rapping children as a formal White House polic and these fools would somehow find a way to spin it so that it's both the child's fault and it's a brilliant policy move by Bush.
Gotta love Bill Kristol calling Watergate a purely political scandal (not like ANYONE in that whole affair did ANYTHING illegal). How's the view from up your ass Billy-boy?
FUX NEWS.
OY is right!
Paid reporters, planted reporters, fake reporters

Let me help you understanda

Again, anybody who is taking anti-depressants or anti-psychotic medication and gets the urge to go shooting up a public venue like a mall or a school, seek help. Barring that, go visit Fox News Headquarters.
According to noquarterusa.com/blog/ today, the tapes hadn't been destroyed as of Sept 19, 2007. Two US attorney's wrote the chief Judge of the 4th Circuit and a Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia about the tapes still being available and that they had viewed them!
Go read the letter!
Yada yada, Clinton, yada yada, false info insert here, yada yada, raise security level, yada yada, their coming to get us, yada yada Clinton, now repeat everyweek.
Please tell me this show has low ratings, please.
Kristol should be renditioned to another, even more barbaric, country.
Kristol is the condescending king of blood thirsty mongering, but expressed with a smile. Awwwwwwwww, like it's such a sweet and patriotic thing to do.
BUT...just don't use Kristol or any of his kids to do the ass kicking. No, you use American trash making less than $150,000 a year to do that! Shame on you for thinking of him to put his money where his mouth is - how dare you!
Fuck you, Kristol!!!
Didn’t they just say Democrats are strong on torture? Isn’t that a good thing (in their eyes)? Doh.
How is that everyone at the meeting wass sworn to screacy, Hume can say with certainty it was the Democrat(s) at the meeting wanting more torture? Fox, they are too funny.
Who's the new skirt? She's not even pretending to be a journalist like the other babe hackola. If Juan takes the day off they'll most likely replace him with the liberal Armstrong Williams.
Even after they cart krystol(nacht) to the loony-bin we'll have his butt boy jonah goldman and his specious arguments to contend with.
Chicago Joe @ 13:
He's already bending over for ya.
FOX is State Sponsored TV @ 5:
does the offol office know about this!
If there is an actual war being waged by this administration, it's the Bushies War on The CIA... not that I'm defending the CIA.
I watch this trash every week and watch Hume and Kristol pooh pooh every scandal that comes along. Hume trying to lower his voice even more in an attempt to come as an authority, and Kristol with his smug grin that says "I can't believe I'm getting away with saying this crap" Kristol knows that as long as he is sitting in front of a FOX logo, every ridiculous thing he says will be believed by somebody. Twenty years from now he'll get his FOX news lifetime achievement tribute for being a loyal condescending twerp. Then there is poor Juan. He tries to be a good democrat. You can see that he has done the reading, unfortunately he's just not that bright. He introduces the democratic arguments he's read, but Hume and Kristol barely have to lift a finger to throw an argument at him that stumbles him up. Juan just isn't bright enough to think through and truly understand what he parrots to the panel.
This segment was particulary hard to watch, cause my brain kept shouting - if this was Clinton, if this was Clinton, if this was Clinton. I wish we could get back to the days when are televisions featured people that were actually fair and balanced.
Man fox noise needs to install the laugh tracks because their sheeple may actually believe this excrement. The laugh track worked for Ted Baxter it can work for Brit Hume and his sidekick Chris Wallace.
I would love to see a bloody William Kristol.
The neocons may be the prime movers of this sort of behavior - but the dems were more than along for the ride. The dems have failed us - again - so I'm not in the least outraged by Fox rightfully poinitng out the dems complicity in all of this. They're absolutely correct. Look at their track record: no withdrawal from Iraq/no meaningful oversite or hearings into illegal eavesdropping or torture/ trying to give telecoms amnesty as a cover-up, etc. Progressives in this country have no representation.
RE: the current issue, see Glenn Greenwald's column - I think he spell it out pretty well:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/
I would NEVER advocate visiting violence upon fellow a human being. So uncivilized, and incivil, to boot.
But i can find no evidence that Bill Kristol IS a fellow human being.
I would therefore not be violating my ethical bearing by wishing to see Kristol cudgelled to the ground and left, bleeding from the nose and ears, by an Iraq veteran swinging his prosthesis all the way from fuukin' CHICAGO!
Looks like someone is trying to cover their ass...
"Meantime Friday, the former chairman of the 9/11 Commission, Thomas Kean, told WNBC's Jonathan Dienst that the CIA's destruction of the videotapes hampered the panel's investigation into the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington."

Fair and balanced.
Here you have 3 right wingers calmly make their cases then one token lefty to counter that all the while being cut off by a right winger and the right wing monitor.
They report we decide.
So many crooks and liars...so little recourse to do anything about them.
Speaking of trust, I don't trust in 'god', I don't trust this administration, this president, or the NeoConZionists, I don't trust Blackwater, the local DHS-trained cops, the dollar, the MSM, BUT, I do trust that Kristol's demise will greatly raise the level of rational discourse in this country.
I think its funny that you call Bill Kristol “disgusting human being” with a “stupid mouth” and that with “horns and a tail he’d look like the Devil himself!” and that you hate him. AND YOU CALLED HIM THE HATE MONGER!
look in the mirror people
Kristol says these secret tapes were destoyed because of fear they may be leaked. If that is supposed to be a rational explanation for what happened and why, then by Kristol's "reasoning," maybe the CIA should destroy all of its files because they are secret and could be leaked too.
I prefer calling him "Bloody Bill." Bloody Bill Kristol. Has a ring to it, no? That's the sort of nickname that might follow him for the rest of his miserable life.
Willy Kristols Mama should be embarrassed that she brought such a deranged Weasel into this world.
Oh for shame............
Kristol: We don't know what was on those tapes and we don't know why they were destroyed, but we know anything Ted Kennedy says is ludicrous.
Why is this jackass on TV? I mean, really. To paraphrase him, "Fox should be ashamed of itself, but I don't know if that's possible."
It's like they're convinced they're legally entitled to do it. "You heard it here first folks: 2+2=5!"
One must understand the best part of Billy Kristol ran down his mama's leg.
I just want to puke when I listen to
Brit try to defend the burning of the
tapes!
so they hid that great evidence from the 911 commission, and then destroyed it to protect their sources, and now just accept at face value the reason they give for destroying the evidence in the first place. sounds like a real good way run a goverment agency.
in addition to not governing well, their are two other things repubes/neoCONS have a difficult time understanding. irony and hypocrisy and truth. ok there are three other things repubes do not do well irony and hypocrisy and truth and learning from past failures. ok, ok there are four other things...etc etc.
my humble apologies to monty python and their brilliant humor for this poor attempt at humor, there truly is very little funny about repube/neoCONS
Are they all sniffing glue?
Brit and his padded cellmates are impossible to take seriously. If you try, you may end up in there with them.
