Will Bush & Co. finally be held accountable for their alleged misdeeds?
It seems George Bush just can't catch a break right about now — and, for him, it appears the situation may be about to get worse.…

That statement can be disputed. But yes, sometimes it is better to just say no. Staying away from those individuals I find most horrid and unpleasant has improved my experience greatly, though. It goes get difficult if the list becomes too long, though, I would imagine, so it seems prudent to use that tactic sparingly.
By the way, I should make it clear that I would not consider placing Ms. Nancy on such a list. She and I disagree from time to time, but she strikes me as a well-meaning person. And she's passionate about her views, which I can appreciate. Every now and then all of us can go a bit over the top and say regrettable things. She has apologized, which the truly terrible would never do.

Thank you, Ms. Davis, for the benefit of the doubt.

'Mo, just let it go. there will always be less intelligent, less tolerable people in the world. its just another feminazi.'
I guess that's who Bush is down to, people who call any woman with an opinion different from their own a 'feminazi'
The only thing more disturbing than the fact that people like this exist in large enough numbers to highjack a major political party, is the fact that the American middle keeps falling for the idea of a tax break that will never have to be repaid, which let's the 'feminazi' crowd run D.C.

Seriously. But look at it this way: A person's use of that F word gives us clear signals about him or her.

Hey, schmuks, leave Nancy alone and don't nitpick her statements either. If you don't like free speech then YOU don't belong here.

>>And guilty people are sometimes acquitted.<<
Even more than this, the hard to accept truth is that sometimes there are people who are guilty who SHOULD be acquitted. Not saying that's the case here, but sometimes guilt is outweighed by other considerations.
As for the Plame business, the real concern here should be that the indictments which come down will end up not having anything to do with the actual outing of Plame, but with peoples actions after the fact. That seems like a very real possibility, and it doesn't address the problem if there is one.

Well, it does, tho, in that while it was bad enough someone conspired to "out" Plame (possibly for retaliatory purposes), that anyone being questioned would then lie about it would be even worse. This sort of thing would indeed subvert the entire investigation/grand jury/legal system. So if that's what they end up being indicted for, that's good enough. You don't lie to a grand jury. That some of them obviously did just illustrates the arrogance & contempt for the law rife among neocons.

Natalie,
Nancy has never apologized or retracted her claim. Here once again is the conversation I had with her:
Maurice: .. you are a racist and hate religious people?
Nancy: Goddam right!
You will notice that even in this thread she never denies saying this.
The apology she offered was for saying "mighty white of you". I have a hard time believing she had no idea what that comment implied. She only back pedaled once she realized there were 2 black people on the thread.
I make it a point to not play the race card but I don't think it is necessary to be silent when a racist or bigoted comment is made.
34 - Nancy
Maurice, regardless of race, you have amply demonstrated you are a fool & a jerk. IF I were a racist, as Ms. Natalie pointed out, I wouldn't have felt I had to apologize or explain regardless of HOW many blacks were on this thread. And I would have been delighted to have offended & upset you. Take or leave it, your choice, your problem. You don't like what I say, that's just too damned bad. Life is tough, ain't it? I'm not kissing your ass any further, you puerile, whining jackass of whatever color you are.

Nancy is one of my favorites and she says it like it is..keep up the good work Nancy..someone has to stand up to these right wing fanatics..

People are fools, jerks, and idiots if they don't agree with Nancy. So what form of fascism do you espose..damn I am glad you are not in charge
37 - Nancy
Well, I guess that puts me in good company with lots of others on this blogsite who can't/won't handle anyone who disagrees with them, now doesn't it?

Right on, Dave. That is the truth. And those who aren't acquitted should be given a Presidential pardon. I would fully support a conditional Presidential pardon for Libby, Rove and any other White House official provided they come clean and tell us the whole undeniable truth. The spirit of meaness and territorialism has to stop and that may be a good place to start.
