You're showing all the reasons why you got the boot from the war room.

You trying for the lounge next?

Are you delusional ?

AFAIK I have not been banned from anywhere. I just posted in the war room today.

I know you would prefer to see a person such as myself banned, in true fascist style, but sorry, it hasn't happened.

You got a problem with the truth or something ?

Hadn't been following this thread since I read the first few posts when it was new.
I knew that a thread about documentaries would spiral into crap. In true style, you guys haven't let me down and this thread has gone nowhere. Congrats!

The guy had two choices

a) Run out of there in an absolute rush, shouting orders to be relayed to military and intelligence big wigs, and basically make a rather calm classroom a very hectic place. Of course, had he done this, and immediately started to hop to action, the dem's would cite him for being too "trigger happy".
OMG are you serious? Run out in an absolute rush? You mean he couldn't get up, excuse himself, and leave in an orderly fashion? Of course he shouldn't rush out without a word to them. But he could have told the teacher he had to leave, and wrapped up the thing with the kids. They wouldn't have known any different anyhow. Just say "bye bye kids." They'd yell "Bye!" and that's that. Instead, he stared off into space.

I agree he should play it cool, and in that respect he did fine. But he could play it cool and leave at the same time. It's not, play it cool, sit there, and do nothing, or run out hysterically and screaming "It's go time!" There's a "c" that you missed.

I don't know, I think the 'Fad's handiwork has made things more bearable. Somehow Zimphire's bullsh�t seems less virulent when there's a nicely done graphic to soften the impact a bit.

You don't understand. It was part of his job to read with those children. It was on his schedule. You really can't blame Bush for doing his job. First the lefties say that Bush was on vacation 42% of the time before 9/11, then they attack him for doing his job. You can't have it both ways. Anyway, he did the right thing by keeping his cool, staying in the classroom to keep everyone else calm, and preventing panic or a riot from breaking out.

You lefties will attack Bush for anything. Calling him a liar for instance. Zimph is right; if you can't see into his head to prove that he knew what he was saying was false, then you have no case. Period.

Bullshit. Based on your list of documentaries, you're only interested in reinforcing your own opinions.

Yeah but it somehow makes the Left's BS less tolerable.

Hey, lying is bad. But if you don't like that person, it's OK to lie about them lying. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's the seriousness of the accusations!

That seems to be the left's mantra of late.

Zimphire - king of accusing people of posting left-wing knee-jerk reactions to issues that hurt his poor little heart. Then promptly posts right-wing, knee-jerk apologetic reactions that.

Welcome to the world of hypocrisy.

When did I post knee-jerk apologetic reactions? Why do people rely so much on dishonesty?

Is that the Way of the Left�?

Here's another liberal-oriented documentary, this time about Fox news and Rupert Murdoch, called "Outfoxed."
