A quick look at MSNBC’s coverage of Dick Cheney’s speech

Not technically

I believe he’s speaking of this passage:

“Apparently using the term “war” where terrorists are concerned is starting to feel a bit dated. So henceforth we’re advised by the administration to think of the fight against terrorists as, quote, “Overseas contingency operations.” In the event of another terrorist attack on America, the Homeland Security Department assures us it will be ready for this, quote, “man-made disaster” – never mind that the whole Department was created for the purpose of protecting Americans from terrorist attack.”

Yes techinically

He said Cheney says Obama won’t use the word terrorist.

That is a lie.

“In the event of another terrorist attack on America, the Homeland Security Department assures us it will be ready for this, quote, “man-made disaster””

That would mean Obama has directed the Homeland Security department to not use the word terrorist. I agree that it’s a stretch, but so were Cheney’s words.

Nonsense

Cheney did not say Obama won’t use the word.

You are dancing around the facts and implying facts not in evidence.

You'll have to forgive Jon, Erick.

He’s outside of his little bubble of the Internet at the moment, and doesn’t really understand that assertion isn’t proof. No doubt he’ll learn.

Obama's OWN words today will come back to haunt him, oh so tragically

the argument about MSNBC will be much more puny than even their ratings. God help us. Please let elected republicans have the courage to take on Obama’s lies today and call them lies. His actions actually affirm the wisdom of Bush and machiavelli. Call it out!

ever get embarrassed by this kind of effluent that they spew on a daily basis. I know Immelt is paying them well to do it, but one would think they have at least a little pride in their work.

I watched Bob Beckel on FOX news practically foaming at the mouth over Vice President Cheney’s speech. That tells me Cheney was effective and left is afraid.

I can’t stand Bob Beckel, He spins and prevaricates about everything. It does sound like the left is feeling threatened, thank God. And I’m also grateful to Dick Cheney for speaking up; now Americans can get the true picture, and they should be concerned.

Even if you don’t want to make the blanket statement that everything anyone on MSNBC says is a lie, you have to admit the odds are about 99.97% that it’s the case when the person’s last name is O’Donnell regardless of whether the first name is Lawrence, Norah, whatever.

I didn’t know Microsoft’s security software was so good that Obama promoted Bill Gates to SecDef.
