Guest BlackJesus Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 [color="blue"][b]Who Got the Memo? When the GOP wants to get a message out, it sends around a talking points memo: Here is an example of a memo that went out to GOP members that said to say that "New Orleans Papers said that they Dodged a Bullet" --- The only problem is no such paper every existed... However these dumbasses didn't bother to look it up they just read the same shit Fox News Does....[/b][/color] Some Examples of Dumbasses who Got the Memo and thus spread the Lie --- [b]Richard Myers:[/b] [i]"The headline, of course, in most of the papers on Tuesday  “New Orleans Dodged a Bullet,†or words to that effect. At that time, when those words were in our minds, we started working issues before we were asked."[/i] [b]Rep. David Dreier on BBC Newsnight:[/b] [i]"And I remember a week ago today reading the newspaper, which said that New Orleans had successfully dodged the bullet of Hurricane Katrina, and then we saw the levee break."[/i] [b]Michael Chertoff, the original memo: [/b] [i]"I remember on Tuesday morning picking up newspapers and I saw headlines, “New Orleans Dodged The Bullet"." [/i] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img] [color="red"][b]However this is what the Paper Headlines Actually Said on Tuesday:[/color][/b] [img]http://www.wonkette.com/images/katrinaheds.jpg[/img] [b]Now in almost Comical fashion only 1 Newspaper in the entire world had the headline mentioning a bullet being dodged ..... and it wasn't even in America - It was from the small island of Grenada THE GRENADA DAILY STAR (yes the one Reagen invaded) [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img] The Neo Con Site World Net Daily then also put the headline on their site to make it seem like others had the same headline. [url="http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46025"]World Net Daily[/url] So it shows 1 of two things : 1. Republicans have given up reading American National Newspapers and surpisingly all subscribe to the paper from the tiny island of Grenada [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img] Or 2. They only read the Neo Nazi (World Net Daily - By Rush and Co) and confuse that as a real Newspaper and thus site it as such. Truly Hysterical in a disturbing "I can't believe how dumb these guys are" kind of way.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steggyD Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Yeah, everyone knows Democrats are much more intelligent. [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/37.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer_Rice Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think there's a case for criminal neglect that cuts across parties. But the Dems are not the party in power now, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just being a smartass, without reading. I just hate it when people talk about Republicans as if the Democrats have all the answers. In my opinion, I don't care much for either party. Hell with them all. We need to erase everything we know as a human civilization, and start from scratch at building a civilization that will work for the amount of humans on this planet right now. Impossible task, but it's the only cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer_Rice Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm inclined to think Shakespeare had it right: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale, Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
