2 Goals Dems Hope to Reach by Falsely Accusing Cheney

The Democrats and the Obama Administration have ulterior motives for falsely accusing Dick Cheney of 'misleading Congress' and 'failing to inform Congress of a secret operation he implemented in the War on Terror.'

By floating out this entirely preposterous 'red herring' to see how much traction it gains, the Dems hope to reach 2 critical goals.

I blow the lid on the Dems' ulterior motives in today's column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Thanks for reading. Tell a friend?

The Cheney Offensive

No matter what you think of former Vice-President Dick Cheney, consider his latest interview during which he said the following:

*Obama's policies are a danger to the security of the United States.

*The interrogation techniques used after 9/11 saved countless thousands of American lives.

*If he had to choose between Rush Limbaugh and Colin Powell as the face of the Republican Party, he would prefer Limbaugh.

So far, he's batting 1000. Personally, I would have rather had Cheney as President than Bush from 2001-2008.

All American Blogger says that the notion that socialized healthcare is a 'moral imperative' is actually a very IMMORAL concept:

Armed and Safe says he is placed in the unprecedented position of defending Dick Cheney for opposing the Administration's stance on D.C. vs. Heller, and adding his signature to the Congressional brief which supports Heller in the D.C. gun ban. We agree. Mr. Cheney should be given rousing accolades for having the courage to follow his convictions in the face of a President who seems to have forgotten ALL of his!:

Sebastian observes that this is 1972 all over again, and he's right. Those of us old enough to remember George McGovern, the Democratic nominee in 1972, have seen at least part of the Osama-'Bama B.S. before. It is called SOCIALISM, which translates to ANTI-FREEDOM. The only thing different about McGovern is that he was not worshipped as a rock star/Messianic hero as is Obama:

The Volokh Conspiracy has a VERY interesting read on Cuba. It seems liberals are always judging the goodness of a government by 'how many people react to it fondly.' This argument is full of holes. With Communist indoctrination, many in Russia fondly remember Stalin, probably the most notorious mass murderer in the history of the world:

Bill Clinton Avoided Jail, Why Not Scooter Libby?

Washington, DC (TLS). President Bush late Monday did the right thing and commuted the sentence of the former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby.

Libby had been sentenced to a jail term of two and a half years after a jury found him guilty of perjury and obstruction in the investigation of the leak of the identity of former covert CIA agent Valerie Plame.

U.S. Prosecuting Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald never charged anyone with a crime in 'outing' Plame.

The charges against Libby had nothing to do with the original 'crime' but were connected to the after-the-fact activity that ensued during the ongoing investigation of the 'crime' of disclosing Plame's identity--which was already known by everyone in the Beltway to begin with.

This sham of an investigation is one that never should have been launched in the first place. It was entirely political and aimed at Vice President Dick Cheney.

The sentence of Scooter Libby was just one more example of a political witch-hunt and the search of a scapegoat. After all, former President Bill Clinton lied to a GRAND jury. He was impeached by the Congress. Yet he never faced jail time. He never received a fine or faced any consequences of his actions other than being disbarred by the Arkansas State Bar.

If Bill Clinton avoided jail, why not Scooter Libby?

Not surprisingly, Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama stated that, 'This is the kind of politics we want to avoid in Washington.'

You mean, like, a Congress that is full of Democrats who are corrupt, such as William Jefferson, Dianne Feinstein, John Conyers, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, Keith Ellison, Patrick Leahy, oh, and, uhhh, HILLARY CLINTON, just to name a few?

Until your cronies in the Congress clean house, Senator, you have very little moral and ethical authority to stand on in lashing out at the President's actions in commuting the sentence of a man who did nothing more than BILL CLINTON did in court.

And by the way, Hillary Clinton weighed in on Bush's action today, condemning the commuting of the sentence. This is in spite of the convicted felons her own husband pardoned precisely because of their close relationship to the Clintons.

Thus, Hillary's words can be dismissed outright for the hypocrisy on display.

The fact that B. Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton are part of the most corrupt, inept, and unpopular Congress in history should be ample evidence that their opinions about the matter should be dismissed along with the rest of the imbeciles who run the place.

As for Scooter Libby, we all can be grateful that he will not have to endure a politically-motivated sentence that was the result of a witch-hunt.

Coulter Rips Prosecutor Fitzgerald a New One!

Washington, DC (TLS). The Special Prosecutor who prosecuted a bogus case against Scooter Libby is a danger to society, freedom, and honest men and women. For political purposes only, Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald paraded Scooter Libby before the court and the news media as a criminal, in spite of the fact that Libby had committed no crime.

Fitzgerald prosecuted this case for one reason only--to try to embarrass the Bush White House and to attack Vice President Dick Cheney. For that he is a scum-bag that should be investigated for bringing false charges against an innocent man--enough to be disbarred and charged with crimes.

Libby was 'nifonged' by a rogue Prosecutor every bit as corrupt as Mike Nifong.

Ann Coulter, however, says it better than anyone in this riveting piece:

Libby's Prosecution a Travesty of Justice

Washington, DC (TLS). Scooter Libby was found guilty for supposedly 'outing' the identity of a CIA agent whom everyone in Washington knew was a secret operative. The case should have never been prosecuted. And the calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney in the aftermath is the work of demented individuals who would rather see the U.S.A. defeated than to stand up and fight this nation's enemies with courage.

Believe me, we know the truth.

The prosecution of Libby was a sham from the start, perpetrated by individuals inside and outside of government who have a vendetta against the Bush Administration over the War in Iraq. The entire shameful affair was about the War, period.

Activists had to have a scapegoat, a central figure to whom they can affix blame.

They chose Libby, and in turn, they also targeted Cheney.

Libby deserves a Presidential pardon. And while Mr. Bush is at it, he can also pardon those two innocent Border Patrol agents who were falsely accused, again by government bureaucrats who rage out of control.

We need a housecleaning in the bureaucracy of high and mighty government officials who were never elected by the people but act as if they have all the power. They need to be 'clipped off at the gonads.'

The Dick Cheney Factor

Washington, DC (TLS). Despite assurances from the U.S. military that Vice-President Dick Cheney was not the target of an assassination attempt yesterday during a trip to Afghanistan, the Taliban wasted no time claiming that the Vice-President was, indeed, a target. Cheney himself has made it clear that he believes that he was a target and that the attack occurred in close proximity, so close in fact that Cheney says he heard an extremely loud boom. This is all in spite of the military's official statement that Cheney was 'well out of danger when the attack occurred.'

Taliban leaders stated late yesterday that they had full knowledge of the Vice-President's itinerary and his whereabouts.

I will make no attempt to prove or disprove an assassination attempt against Cheney here. I simply take the Taliban at its word. It is no secret that both the Taliban and Al Qaeda would consider the assassination of either Cheney or Bush to be a great triumph of extremist Islam. Thus, we can be thankful that Cheney narrowly escaped the murderous clutches of one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world.

Not everyone in America shares those sentiments, however.

In November of last year, the Huffington website posted a poem in the form of a prayer. The subject of the poem was a man who was praying for the death of Dick Cheney, the result of a massive heart-attack. Numerous conservative columnists and bloggers screamed to high heaven about the despicable display, and Huffington eventually took down the poem from her site.

Yesterday, however, various and sundry extremist Leftist bloggers began their verbal carnage once again, lamenting the fact that Cheney did not die in the assassination attempt in Afghanistan.

One such blogger wrote that he could not ascertain whether it would be better for Cheney to be assassinated, since obviously conservatives would use his martyrdom to sing his praises, or for Cheney to live so that he can eventually be brutally dragged through the mud in the wake of charges of 'crimes against humanity.' The mere fact that a blogger would even be musing about such a dreadful and inhumane subject is a chilling example of just how far into the abyss the Left has fallen.

There was a time in America when treason and sedition were vigorously prosecuted.

Those days are no more. America seems to have as many enemies among its own citizens as it does among terrorists overseas.

Has it occurred to all of you as it has to me that each and every outrageously hateful and extremist position that is taken by terrorists seems to be echoed by the far-Left in this country? With some of our own citizens writing on the Internet that they are sorry that Cheney was not assassinated, apparently we have as much to fear from them as we do the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Therefore, this column is dedicated to the honor of Vice President Dick Cheney, the man that most of us conservatives wish were President. If ever there were a consistently brave, patriotic voice in this government, it is that of Dick Cheney. He has stood his ground in the face of stinging opposition. He has been a bold soldier in the fight for liberty and justice in the face of terrorism. He has not hesitated to point out the irrationality and hypocrisy of Leftists in Congress, pointedly at times.

I for one am proud to call him my Vice President, and The Liberty Sphere is thankful that his life was spared in the wake of an assassination attempt by some of the most despicable human beings on the planet.

And the Leftists in this country who hailed the attempt on Cheney's life fall into a category even lower than the terrorists. They are ours, and yet they say such things. They are scum-bags who are to be loathed.
