Moyers can’t stand the fact Rove is ten times smarter. Getting Rove was high on the literati’s to-do list. They couldn’t do it in a million more years. By the way, Moyers is inconsequential, noone watches or listens to him, check his ratings…worse than Olbermans.
Moyers is nothing more than a left wing, America hating, hypocrite who wraps himself in the flag of religiosity.
The Gospel according to Bill Moyers. If you’re a Republican, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. We are all evil, conspiring minions. Just once. Just once. I would love to see Bill Moyers do an expose on the corruption of Dems. And G-d knows they have plenty to be ashamed of, but I’m not holding my breath for Bill to say one bad thing about Murtha or Jefferson as officials who have considered or taken bribes. Or how Mrs. Clinton beat the market way back when. No, Bill will never look into all of the mysterious deaths of people who may have been a threat to them.
Bill, you are so arrogant that you think that Republicans are so easily lead by our leaders, forget how we stopped our leaders from recently giving this country over to illegal aliens. My blood boils because my tax dollars pay your salary. You would be pan handling to get by if it weren’t for PBS.
Moyers hates the fact Rove is ten times smarter. Getting Rove was high on the literati’s(read America-haters) to-do list. They couldn’t do it in a million more years. By the way, Moyers is inconsequential, noone watches or listens to him, check his ratings…worse than Olbermann’s.
Moyers is nothing but a bitter old “has been” with who hates his country!
Moyers is a minister who has never gotten over the guilt he feels about being in the administration of LBJ during the Vietnam War. Rather than criticize himself publicly for whathe considers to be a violation of his religious principles when he was in power, he latches onto the charge that Rove is not a believer and certainly not a minister and attacks Rove. Deep in his heart, he’s scared the U.S. might win the war in Iraq after losing the war in Vietnam.
This is one more evidence of how to the left Moyers is, by wrapping himself in sheep’s clothes, talking a religious language, when he in fact tries to neutralize Christianity by subjugating it to the demands of politically correctness.
I an atheist and I voted for Bush twice but not happily. Moyers is a nitwit. He does not have one logical bone in his body. Moyers is an unremarkable man with an unremarkable mind. The only reason he is on TV because his execs have the same nitwit poltical beliefs he has. Repubs are evil and Dems are good. Blah-Blah-Blah….
What turns my guts is the fact that Moyers’ never ending anti-conservative rants are paid for with our tax dollars. Public funding of PBS has to stop!!!
Moyer’s throwaway reference to “Intellectually inferior” Bush sets the standard for the rest of his silly screed. Incidentally, I believe Rove may be stepping down so he does not carry the burden of Whitehouse congenieality when he tears the arguments of his interrogators appart. Don’t be surprised if the demand for his testimony is withdrawn.
The religious right was used? Really? So, Moyers is suggesting that Mr. Heinz was a serious alternative? Ha!
That Moyers is a sick puppy if I ever saw one.
Of course, all these comments attack Moyers, not what he says, because you know he’s right. Whether the Democrats do it or not (they assuredly do) doesn’t change the fact that republicans do it.
Moyers is right. Ron Paul can change the tone.
Sorry for not being precisely related to this subject, but public media is nothing but a left-wing media outlet, that hates everything about American values.
The other day I heard on public radio someone saying the US helped depose the government of Salvador Allende in Chile, who “represented everything America stood for”, to put in place a government against those same values.
Salvador Allende is repeatedly painted in the America media as a martir, when in fact he worked agressively towards the installation of a comunist dictatorship in Chile, and helped promoted guerrillas throughout South America, under the guidance from Cuba.
Human rights violations, corruption and guerrilla warfare, that’s the type of stuff that the liberal media hides from the public, actively trying to brainwash the public’s opinion in favor of the “socialist revolution”.
That’s the type of garbage that our taxes pay for.
Moyers – so predictable… If Rove was a Dem hack like Cajun Carville, he’d be blowing him right about now.
Typical Dem hack.
Wow! Bitter much, Bill?
Bill Moyers is a left wing rabid ass baboon and he manages to also be an egocentric, self righteous jerk.
Billy Moyer’s is a DRUNK! Caught drunk driving last year so how can this hypocite cast stones about anybody?!?! I HATE this guy!
If I’m paying taxes to watch this left wing loon, shouldn’t PBS at least balance him out with some clear thinking newsperson who leans right — like a Michael Barone or a Byron York? My God, Bill Moyers should be in a styraight jacket, eating pablum.
When is Bill going to ride off in the sunset or be placed in a nursing home. The man is a dunkard and a stooge for the Democratic Party. I will never again contribute to PBS. It is bad enough that my tax money goes to paying for this dork.
Can’t you idiot Republicans stay on the point? This is not about Bill Moyer. It’s about Karl Rove. How do you feel knowing he was an atheist? Karl Rove played you like $3 harmonica. Vote for God, get tax cuts for the rich. Idiots.
People accuse Bush of being dumb. They may be right, but as these comments show, he’s a helluva lot smarter than his supporters!
Excellent diatribe on the precise reason Mr. Moyers is paid with confiscatory dollars provided to a network that constantly begs their audiences for money so they can produce non-political programming. Without salaries such as Moyers’, maybe more penguins, Austin City Limits, arts programs, et. al.–the more relevant stuff in our lives–programming might be able to survive on the bids made on Big Bird coffee mugs and artwork contributed by artists who can’t sell the paintings on the open market.
Sometimes it is better just to keep comments to yourself and that Mr. Moyer is what you should have done. The Democrats can’t say anything as long as they have people like Carville spouting off – he is absolutely disgusting.
Bill Moyers is one of the most refreshing intellectuals in the fight against the right wing subversives bent on destroying our American democracy. While the ignorant will praise the traitor Carl Rove just like they cried over the criminal Liddy, true Americans see through the corruption that runs so deep in America today. Just like the Nazis, they have their followers just like any such regime is able to muster. Their war of convenience in Iraq and demonizing immigrants in our country are taken right out of Hitler’s play book. It will be just as hard to purge them from America as it was purging them from Europe.
Bill Moyers, may not seem like much, but he is one of the true fighters against evil in America even if he only fights with his voice.
The other news readers will miss Rove just like they missed Goebbels and Saeed al-Sahhaf. Not because they were great men, but just because they provided something for them to read on a slow news day. “Loose lips may sink ships, but they provide great news tips…”
Bill Moyer is a sick and very confused individual. He spews the useless chatter that the libs love to hear and they’re the only ones watching any PBS crap anyways. I think if your a registered Republican you should get a tax credit for PBS. NO MORE AL GORE!!!!
It is because of “journalists” such as Bill Moyers that the traditional media outlets have no credibility remaining. Their only outlets are PBS forums where ratings do not matter- only one’s agenda. Karl Rove did not “trick” anyone into voting for Bush. Again, the reality is that Moyers and his supporters have always looked at anyone who tries to be follow certain basic principles (i.e. do not hurt anyone (including the unborn); live within the law; believe in something greater than one’s own ego (like God)) with utter contempt. It is this attitude that is picke up on by the electorate and it si why Moyers’ friends in the Democrtaic Party lose presidential elections- and will lose again in 2008.
Bill Moyers – the original old school fear mongering gangsta’ – the developer of the infamous Goldwater “little girl with flower blown to nuclear bits” commercial – well, I guess he should know what a fear-mongering hack looks like – he sees one every morning in the mirror
Bill Moyers wished he had President Bush’s education! Moyers just blabbers on on horrible everything is because of President Bush, but the fact is, America has never been stronger! Bill Moyers could never get on a legitimate News channel again, he’s a blubbering idiot now.
Moyers is a disgusting human being. If he ain’t talking, he ain’t lying…other wise he is. I can’t believe my tax dollars pay for BS. What a waste of money.
Cut off all funding for PBS Now and let Moyers work for Radio Tokyo
Moyers you are pathetic! You pretend to be this objective, religious reporter, but what you really are is this pathetic little narrow minded Liberal. You have worked hard over the years to hid your political views, but as you got older your started revealing your true colors. I’m sorry but you are the narrow minded bigot. You have lied to the American people for decades. Just like Walter Cronkite we fooled ourselves when we thought there was any objectivity in your at all. We know you don’t like Bush or Rove, but many millions of Americans do and your diatribe won’t change anything. In a few decades George Bush will be seen as a good President. After all the American people elected him twice. But you and your lieing narrow little mind will soon be forgotten. I wish to God PBS would put you where you belong, on the trash heap with the Dan Rathers of the world.
Shark — Your concept of history is interesting. TO AN IDIOT! Which is expected from any lib. It’s easier to change it than make it. NO MORE AL GORE!!!!!
Moyers–well I have better things to do with my time than talk about the subject of arrogance, hypocrisy and stupidity all rolled into one person–Moyers.
Ed…speaking of idiots….an agnostic does not deny the existence of God, only that there can be no proof of existence. If you know what a dictionary is you can look up for yourself what an “atheist” is.
In this bit, Moyers claims Rove was successful in getting Bush elected as Texas governor because Rove knows that Christians are hateful bigots.
Wow.
Quite a broad characterization, there, Bill. Gee, it’s a lot like something a bigot would say.
Love the comments. This guy Moyers lives off the big government teat and is a do nothing nobody. He should give Dan Rather a call and do some retirment home shopping. Karl Rove brought division, corruption and war to Washington,D.C.?? That’s a good one.
Ed – it’s just like an “IDIOT” lib. to think Karl Rove would us a $3 harmonica. He’s a rich Republican. He spent $50 on an American made harmonica to do his part in keeping the world economy humming. NO MORE AL GORE!!!!
No one can ever accuse Bill Moyers of being a first class act.
Mr. ” liberal” One question?? What then isCarvel and begala? Alter Boys??
Bill, the next time you look in the mirror, you should be astounded again that they can pile crap that high.
Wow, reading these comments reminds me how hateful right wingers really are. You guys know that Moyers is right, that’s why you are so mad, having your little hissy fits. You guys get played and then get mad at someone who points it out. I for one will cancel out any negative call to PBS by calling and praising a true American like Bill Moyers. You morons wouldn’t even know Moyers said this if you weren’t reading Drudge. Go back to Flush and Hitler Hannity and leave PBS to thinking America. HAHAHAHA!!!!!
This is the same B. Moyers that was the dirty tricks man for LBJ. Looking for Gays in the Rep Party after a Gay in the LBJ regime was caught with his pants down in a park. How do you remeber that one Bill. Anything for the “PARTY”, Right Bill?
yo shark…it’s time for your tattoo and trip to the showers…get real.
Mr Moyers has been shaking down PBS for years, so he should know what one is. As long as he contiues to be on PBS I will never donate a dime.
I never thought much of Bill Moyers until right now. Now I think he’s great. You go Bill, Rove and that whole gang at the White House are a bunch of criminals and Rove is especially disgusting. By the way, how do you guys complaining about Moyers feel about being in the 25% who are still drinking the Bush Kool Aid? You’re probably feeling very alone.
Shark wrote, “Just like the Nazis, they have their followers just like any such regime is able to muster.

Anyone here who is not a hard leftie recognize the tune Sharkie is baiting? It is a theme we are going to hear more and more through the election of 2008.
If anyone is copying Hitleresque tactics, it is the hard (and silly) left, represented by smooth talkers like Moyers, Carville, and Bill Clinton.
Every decent American ought to be outraged at statements like Sharkie’s. He/she ought to be put on trial for that one! Absolutely irresponsible, if not libelous!
another poor looser crying foul, get over it you blow hard.
Paul, I hear your mother calling you from upstairs. It seems you forgot to make your bed again.
Moyers is a disgrace and a fraud. He did worse as part of the Johnson Administration than any Republican President he has since passed judgement over. Public Broadcasting is a dinosaur that should become extinct. It is now just another leftwing news org. Taxpayers should not fund such a foul beast.
Bill you make Rove sound just like your old boss. LBJ
cronies. It’d that where you came from
Hey Bill, is that the best you can do? You cons cannot come up with anything funny to say ever. What is it with you guys anyway. Genetics?
I wonder which liberal is the more bitter – Bill Moyers or Jimmy Carter?
EUGH! Warmed over 1960’s progressive marxism. Can anyone help but feel sorry for this miserably irrelevant media dinosaur!?
Hey, you Dubya lovers, do you think that you guys are just sad or are you completely pathetic? Most Americans say pathetic, and some say dangerous. I say you are just sad. Maybe you guys just need a good cry. It seems to work for most girls.
If Rove played us as a $3 harmonica Moyer played us like a 25 cent jews harp. Throughout 1964 LBJ plotted post election engagement and military deployments to Viet Nam. The press flack, Bill Moyer fingered Goldwater as the war monger. The “Credibility Gap” was one result. When, where and how did Moyer ever recover credibility?
Paul, I hear your mother calling from upstairs again. It’s time for milk and cookies.
Or Pelosi, or Reid, or Kennedy, or the entire American Media, or the entire European media, or Dan Rather, or Hillary, or Schumer, or Waxman, or Dingell, or Murtha, or Durbin, or Leahy, or . . .
Paul, you’re the pathetic one. You claim “most Americans” but you have no idea what you are talking about. You take your lead from the usual pollsters, and believe that is truth. In future elections you will see the results of a major swing of votes from both Dem and Rep parties into a third party of the people, by the people and for the people of this nation. You are welcome to join the revolution, but leave your silly remarks at the door.
Or Rosie, or Streisand, or Penn
What a happy bunch of coconuts!
Sorry, I can’t neglect what’s-her-name from the Ditzie Chicks either . . .
Why the hell are we still paying tax dollars for a stinking Public Broadcast System? Not only is it nothing but left wing crap, it’s left wing crap presented by people who couldn’t hold a job in the private sector for a week interrupted every 20 minutes by pathetic begging for more money (oh boy, for a $250 pledge, I get a coffee cup!). I’ve just blocked all PBS channels on my cable and they can forget about ever getting another dime from me.
Paul, If you are suggesting that the current White House is wrong because of the polls, let e point to congress. Controlled by the Ds with an approval rating in the single (yes single) digits. We gave the Dems the house, and now it is mst hated office in the govt. Might be suggestion of things to come.
Coarsening Politics and Religion in America? This is so typical, he ignores the vile and hatefull things the Democrat party and the left in america spews about George Bush, Dick Cheny etc on a daily basis. They all need to take a deep breath and realize that G.W. will be out in Jan 2009 and if they get their way we will have a Pres Clinton again and everything will be right with the world. The world will love us and the terrorists will stop attacking us and the Middle East will be peaceful just like in the 90’s.
This is the same B moyers who acted as the Press sec. for the Late Great War Commander a.k.a. L.Bains Johnson. Moyers never said anything about L.B.J’s bag man Billy Sol Estes, who went to prison for some shady fertilizer storage deals,
(sounds like home for Moyers)
L.B.J. later said that if Estes had not taken the fall he would have been the first President to
go to prison. Not a sound from Moyers.
Just substitute AlGore for Rove and Moyers makes a valid point, otherwise he’s just crying and whining like he always has. Severe case of MPH.
Bill, you’re actually hearing your mom calling me to come back upstairs to have “milk and cookies” while you write non-funny comments on message boards. You should get outside and play before GED classes start up again.
Bill, you slimey apostate ex-baptist preacher. You cannot hide your jealousy of anything to your right, which is almost the whole world.
Your expressionless face betrays your dishonesty.
Can’t you let any other Texan have a good time.
I, too, resent tax dollars paying for your jealous rantings. Go awayyyyyyyyyy!
Every one of the comments that I have read so far have been negative towards Bill. Yet…not a single argument addressed any of the points that Mr Moyers was making.
Absent are the arguments relating to the accuracy or validity of his statements.
Now, I present alternative…
Bill Moyers is a true investigative journalist.
Every..single..program.. in which he plays a roll has an “open book” policy in terms of where their information, and funding, comes from.
This alone means that he, and PBS for that matter, are “accountable” for what they do. Their laundry is on the table for all to pick through.
So I suggest this….
Because Bill Moyers is someone who is accountable for what he says and does, suggest to me, that given the choice between Bill and Karl, Bill is more credible than Karl.
this means that…at least to some degree…when Bill Moyers speaks, it reflects how things really happened.
Karl Rove is a bad person. He helped to weaken the vital structures that support our democracy. Karl Rove helped in creating and supporting policy that condones torture and unilateralism. Karl Rove is a war criminal because “millions” of civilians have died(John Hopkins University)in the Iraq as a direct result of our armed occupation.
Here is how it all breaks down….
Bill Moyers
1) Says no to torture
2) Says no to conflict
3) Is accountable
4) Is credible
Karl Rove
1) Says yes to torture
2) says yes to conflict
3) Is not accountable
4) Is not credible
*******
One last thing, the comments on this page all seem like they are written my the same individual, or individuals using different names.
Radical Behaviorist
justuslia, you’re right, I am pathetic just like everyone else who wastes their time posting on message boards. And, I never said I was Democrat, I just don’t like Bush and his cronies. I would love a third party for the people by the people in this country. But the right would crush it for not being corporate enough, and the left would crush it for not being liberal enough. Hey, I could do without political parties all together.
If anyone is a shakedown artist, it’s Mr. Moyers. He’s made a nice living from one of the last communistic strongholds, PBS, with what, a hundred listeners. I really loved they way he said that Rove had told friends that he didn’t believe. Would Rove’s “friends” relay this information to Mr. Moyers? I don’t think so.
This is a piece of vicious gosip that Mr. Moyers, being the thinker that he is,has incorporated into his opinions. Ooooooo! Take that rightwing.
Hey, Radical Behaviorist — I just read your post. Ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha!
Whatta sense of humor!
Dear RadBehav,
I can’t speak for any others – they can do that for themselves just fine, but I write only under my own online handle. If you cannot tell the difference among the various writers here, then how can anyone trust you can distinguish between Mr. Rove and Mr. Moyers?
Moyers is such a liberal hypocrite. He was employed in the Johnson administration in some type of media role. It may have been press secretary. I’m not sure. Anyway, LBJ lied us into war in Vietnam (remember the Gulf of Tonkin incident). He also started the social programs that could result in bankrupting the country, such as medicare, medicaid, the war on poverty, etc. Also, LBJ was involved in more that his fair share of scandals. His stolen Senate election, the 1960 presidential election where the dead and buried in Texas voted for Kennedy/Johnson, Billie Sol Estes, etc., etc. What a pompous ass.
Radical, I agree with you that no one on here is arguing with what Moyers said. But that is the right wing tactic of Dubya. Go after the messenger, not the message. However, Moyers isn’t exactly a saint.
OK then Paul, make some suggestions that would help people to focus on building a new party, since it appears that we agree that neither the Democrat or Republican politicians are getting the job done, and seem to be beholden to the special interests (not to mention MoveOn.org).
How about starting with a clean sweep out of everyone in Congress – start over with citizen legislators, and hold a public burning of the “Senate Rules”. Sen. Byrd won’t like it a bit, and his dog will doubtlessly get mentioned by him as he labors in vain to find the words (and the breath) to denounce the new Congress.
We can start with 2008. Target the worst legislators from both parties for defeat. It can be done, but it takes a lot of work. Are you ready for that?
Paul, pretty soon, you’ll be tall enough to go on the big-boy roller coaster.
Moyers is a hoot! Moyers commented that he is a Texas boy as is Rove. There is a big difference though – the cowshit on Moyers cowboy boots are on the inside.
Watching Moyers piece makes me smile broadly. How angry and full of contempt Rove, Bush and the majority of Americans have made this man. It sheer delight to watch. He is just a name a face and a mouthpiece for all the other leftists who are seething with anger that their ideas have been rejected and their ideology thrown on the trashheap of history. Smile, its a good day.
Moyers is a bleeding heart socialist/commie, whaddya expect him to say? I noticed he’s also starting to sound more and more like the other talking head lunatic from Texas whose career went down in flames, Dan Rather. Stop with the “state with more evangelists than jackrabbits and oil derricks” comments there Moyers my boy. It didnt work for Danny Disgrace Rather and it sure as heck doesnt work for you.
so…according to Mr. Moyers all god fearing and church going people are stupid homophobes who were easily duped by Karl Rove..I am so sick and tired of these sanctimonious blowhards on the right and the left telling me how foul the other side is…doesnt anybody but me see that both parties democrats and republicans are corrupt….and pretending, like Mr. Moyers does, that only the other side is to blame only polarizes and complicates the already horrid and getting worse situation…
I love how vulnerable the cons are these days! :o)) Even little ol’ Bill Moyers can kick their teeth down their sore throats from PBS!
It’s fun beating the cons up at their own little games just to listen to them “squeal like pigs” :D
justusla – I am a she, but I carry an A2 like everyone else here. You and your little clan of outraged decent American gangstas can just come here and get me you self deluded moron.
CLINTON-GORE IT WORKED BEFORE!!!
Sharkie, you couldn’t pull off the dupe, could you? You gnashed your teeth when given the chance to write something positive …
Which makes a major point, everyone – notice how the hard lefties cannot offer anything positive? They can only thrive on tearing down others they perceive to be “the enemy”. What the hard left doesn’t understand is this: their shrieking for the past seven years has awakened a lot of those of us who are satisfied and happy just to live in a country in which we can vote and who otherwise do not involve ourselves in the slime that politics in this country has become. You hard lefties are not alone in this – you have your counterparts on the hard right, too.
I offered you the chance to join me somewhere in the middle, but you couldn’t stand it! Smoked you out, and I seriously doubt you know what an A2 is to begin with – and if you do, why aren’t you a member of the NRA, sweety-pie?
[...] Partisan hack Bill Moyers is once again going on the attack against Karl Rove. This time he attacks the consultant as an “agnostic shakedown artist.”: [...]
Wow. Poor guy. I hope he feels better getting all of that venom out of his system.
Seriously, he didn’t just try to gloat over Rove’s rumored religious beliefs, did he? Replace the words “Christian Right” and “agnostic” with any two other religious beliefs in that rant, and you will see just how far from tolerant the supposedly enlightened Mr. Moyers really is. One can only conclude that it is evangelicals that irritate Moyers for being so “stupid” as to not see the world the way he sees it. In another context, with another religion, that is called antisemitism, and it is punishable as a hate crime.
No one will call for his punishment, nor should they. But just once it would be nice for him — and major media personalities like him — to admit bias and apologize for their breathtakingly blind prejudice.
What’s the frequency Kenneth?
Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo!
Shark is a tranny. NO MORE AL GORE!!!
Julie, I truly believe it is a religious divide that is most serious in this country, in Europe and most other place on earth.
It is a divide between those people of faith (who believe in a God) and those who do not. Those who do, engage in acts of charity through their church, temple or mosque; those who do not substitute government as the charity giver.
Those who believe in a God also believe in a moral code (most such codes are very similar in content) as guiding principles of living life; those who do not believe in a God are without such an anchor, and indulge themselves in situational ethics, itself an indulgence without guidelines or rules of living. Basically speaking, situational ethics means you are guilty only if you get caught. By comparison a believer in a God will stop at a red signal at 2 AM, while a nonbeliever will be more likely to run the light if no one is watching.
We define ourselves by our acts. Those who believe are not all rigid about others, but it is true that some are judgmental and are not shy about telling others what they think. Judgmentalism is also to be found among the nonbelievers, but the bitterest of bile is found among those who are atheists who find religion and its moral code(s) to be antithetical to their own version of socialism, which is the most judgmental of all “isms”.
All – I’m sorry. I dropped to their level(in the sewer). NO MORE AL GORE!!!!
You know Justusla, Bill Moyers would probably be one of the first to join your third party. But the problem is that there are parties at all. Political gangs are political gangs no mater what the “dream” for them is. When people don’t vote their conscience, but vote along party lines, is when things go bad. That is almost a quote from “you”, and I agree…
But I am an arch liberal and always will be. I support gun control. I am “required” to carry a weapon here… Fortunately, I stare at screens rather then shoot humans all day…
America’s liberal vs. conservative or Democrat vs. republican mess is a big problem. But you go with the Army you got… My Army of choice are the Democrats. When the republicans are all gone, we will be able to worry about details. But Iraq, and all the other giant messes this administration has started are far too destructive to America to play with the kid gloves the Democrats used to be so famous for. The republicans have just “used” terrorism, Iraq, immigration… For purely political and criminal gain. And Carl Rove is the dog right there in the middle of it. The Russians are flying planes again… Heckofa job Condi… I assume the republicans see this as an opportunity to by war plane stock and will instruct their conservative “followers” to pressure congress into buying aircraft now… Just like republicans persecute immigrants and say they are taking jobs while spending $1,000,000,000,000 dollars in tax money in Iraq to help them politically.
Nuclear war will take care of the republicans along with everyone else, but it seems a terrible price to pay so a few political criminals can live it up till then. It is sad that about 25% of Americans are so incredibly ignorant that they think Bill Moyers is the enemy…
Bill Moyers just tell’s it like it is and republicans hate him. That is something he can be very proud of. And I am proud of him for being one who can say it so very well!
So Justusla, as you stand in the middle, just duck down a lot. You really just get in the way and make it harder to aim and the republicans. There was a middle ground in Germany so many years ago too. It didn’t work… The problem is you are assuming intelligence where this is none to be found… It seems to be about 25% and we need to stop them from doing even more harm.
Da da da I don’t love you you don’t love me
Da da da I don’t love you you don’t love me
Da da da I don’t love you you don’t love me
Da da da I don’t love you you don’t love me

Gotcha!! :D

CLINTON-GORE IT WORKED BEFORE!!!
Bill Moyers a Mental midget typical leftwing windbag. Just a shill for the left wing. Still cant get over the fact that his beloved Democrats lost for so many years. Get over it Billy the mental midget the Dems are on the rebound.
Sad eyes, turn the other way
I don’t wanna see you cry
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day
When we would have to say goodbye
Shark, I really doubt that Bill Moyers would join a party of consensus, because he is about name calling and dividing. He would not be welcome in such a party. You have self-identified as an “arch liberal” and that, and it’s just a guess, would take you to the left extreme, unless you are a “classical liberal” of the Adalai Stevenson model, whose “progressivism” was tempered not by ideology but by an eye to what was affordable and possible.
I would not want to put labels on anyone joining such a consensus party, because doing so only divides – yet again – and that is antithetical to the purposes of such a party. There can be a middle way, founded (as I would see it) on conservative fiscal policy (and I have yet to see any administration so based) and yet providing help to those who truly need it, while supporting Social Security and offering the younger generation (I think you might qualify) a choice of routes to retirement that would give you the choice of financial plans, instead of the “one size fits all” model we now have.
Over to you …
Shark – Send me one of those stickers. I’ll slap it on the back of my Hummer right next to my “NO MORE AL GORE” & “I Love My Carbon Footprint” stickers.
@Justusla,
“Shark, I really doubt that Bill Moyers would join a party of consensus, because he is about name calling and dividing.”
Just calling a dog a dog because it’s a dog. If we don’t cal it a dog, somebody might think it is an angle and trust it and a war might get started by accident…
“He would not be welcome in such a party.”
Would the newsreaders that praised Rove be allowed? :| Nobody has to listen to Moyers. Just like nobody listens to Rush, O’Reilly, Coulter, etc. But those three just “say” what makes them the most money without any regard for how their intellectually dishonest words may harm our country or mislead our people. I think Bill Moyers, right or wrong, really actually truly believes what he is saying and is saying it from his heart in hope that it will do some good.
You could simply call your party the “good government party”. Everyone “wants” good government and what you describe is what everyone wants. However, self seeking political criminals, intellectually dishonest conservative fools, and ignorant people that are fooled into believing propaganda are preventing that from happening right now.
We could have hired assassins for a little less than $1,000,000,000,000 to kill Saddam and Iraq would have been better off… I think we could prevent Bin Laudin from dying of “old age”… I think FEMA could have “worked” in LA… I don’t think we have to round up illegal immigrants like Jews in Germany to save America from them…
Probably the greatest real danger we face is the country that 15 of the 19 suicide bombers along with Bin Laudin or from might get sold $20,000,000,000 in advanced weapons… Nuclear is a real danger but not from Iran but from Russia since Bush/Condi hosed all the treaties…
“I”, however, am a little torn about domestic wire tapping and keeping a close eye on Americans by the government since there are about 25% of them that need to be monitored… When Hillery becomes president, she will need those tools to correct what is wrong with America. Those “black helicopter” days are way out of date now :)))
Health care, SS, schools,… That will not be back for awhile yet…
The key word is simply “corruption”. It runs very deep and is very powerful. It will have to be destroyed before good can come again. But there are countries like China that my take the thunder away from us and we may not be “number one” again for an extremely long time. It took 200 years to build America the first time and it might take that long to rebuild it…

@Justusla,
“Just like nobody listens to Rush, O’Reilly, Coulter, etc. But those three just “say†what makes them the most money without any regard for how their intellectually dishonest words may harm our country or mislead our people.”
I listen to a variety of talking heads while driving to and from work (total of 180 minutes a day – way too much, but it pays the mortgage. In the morning, I listen to NPR for an hour and Rush Limbaugh for 30 minutes (how’s that for balance?). O’Reilly and Coulter – they’re not for me, but I would never be for taking anyone off the air just because they say things I don’t want to listen to.
“I think Bill Moyers, right or wrong, really actually truly believes what he is saying and is saying it from his heart in hope that it will do some good.”
Oh yes, he believes it and is taking something of a risk sticking his neck out, but again, because of freedom of speech, I would not be for taking him off the air.
Perhaps the most fire-brand on-air talker out there is Michael Savage, and I sometimes listen to him, but frankly, not lately. I opt for my classical music on FM during his time slot, or I listen to Dennis Miller, who is a cool guy.
“You could simply call your party the “good government partyâ€. Everyone “wants†good government and what you describe is what everyone wants.”
Good government that gets things done! Not one half of the Dem-Rep party slugging it out with the other half – that’s the way I see it anyhow.
“However, self seeking political criminals, intellectually dishonest fools, and ignorant people that are fooled into believing propaganda are preventing that from happening right now.”
Hmmmm, you have just described both extreme ends of the Dem-Rep party (except I had to take “conservative” out, because if you knew what I meant by that word, I don’t think you would have used it in that sentence, which is otherwise fine).
“We could have hired assassins for a little less than $1,000,000,000,000 to kill Saddam and Iraq would have been better off…”
And when we find that crystal ball …
“I think we could prevent Bin Laudin from dying of “old ageâ€â€¦”
Not sure what you mean there …
“I think FEMA could have “worked†in LA.”
Oh, you mean Louisiana – sorry, I live in LA = Los Angeles, so that was my first impression, and I do have a FEMA story to tell you since I lived right on top of the Northridge earthquake ground zero, but it’s too long to tell it all. Suffice it to say that the “official” version of how strong that earthquake was (6.7) was chosen by our federal government back then because the fact was, that sucker was a 7.4. Now why would the government push the lower number on us? Because they would have to have paid compensation to owners and renters twice the amount they did give out! (By the way, that was in 1992 and you know who was president then, right?) The USGS was commanded to accept the 6.7 level so we who lost our houses wouldn’t know any difference, but the funny thing is, the people will eventually find out the truth!
“I don’t think we have to round up illegal immigrants like Jews in Germany to save America from them.”
That’s the real hot potato issue right now, isn’t it? How about rounding them up like sheep instead?
“Probably the greatest real danger we face is the country that 15 of the 19 suicide bombers along with Bin Laudin or from might get sold $20,000,000,000 in advanced weapons…”
Would you criticize the Clinton administration if it comes to light that nuclear technology was sold to “someone” in the Middle East during his presidency? Remember, that’s what he did with North Korea that backfired.
“Nuclear is a real danger but not from Iran but from Russia since Bush/Condi hosed all the treaties.”
Atoms for Peace, remember?
“Iâ€, however, am a little torn about domestic wire tapping and keeping a close eye on Americans by the government since there are about 25% of them that need to be monitored…”
Them? Those people? My take is this: IF we have an honest government that foreswears use of snooping for anything other than catching crooks with their hands in the cookie jar, then I am OK with cameras being almost everywhere (but inside my house, thank you). Because honest people will not have a problem with that.
“When Hillery becomes president, she will need those tools to correct what is wrong with America. Those “black helicopter†days are way out of date now :)))”
Well, at least she will know where the loo in the White House is. I agree that the Cold War mentality has to give way.
“Health care, SS, schools,… That will not be back for awhile yet…”
Or Israel-Palestine …
“The key word is simply “corruptionâ€. It runs very deep and is very powerful. It will have to be destroyed before good can come again.”
YESSS! Exactly how to do that will be the question.
“But there are countries like China that may take the thunder away from us and we may not be “number one†again for an extremely long time.”
You know what? I don’t care about being No. 1. I think being Super Power sucks and has led us down the wrong path time and again. Once the Communists gave it up, we should have joined with other nations to cement friendships instead of going it alone. Huge mistake.
“It took 200 years to build America the first time and it might take that long to rebuild it…”
I hope not!
Nice chatting with you … have a great weekend, and do think about dropping the “D” party – they are no different than the “R” party, really and truly. We need to get out of that merry-go-round and elect honest people who will get the job done!
Touche’ – OK – I’ll give Moyers his point about the “Christian Right” being “suckered” by Bush & Rove – at least we all know where the “Religious Left” stands – they are outright heretics advocating their “anything goes” brand of “Christianity” including abortion on demand and “gay” rights.
Mr. Moyers is a pathetic vestige of post-modern liberalism. He has an audience far wider than he deserves to have, thanks to your, and my, tax dollars. History will not treat him kindly. I pity his kin.
Mr. Moyers, you really should get that syphilis treated before it drives you completely insane.
Stupid, stupid Republicans. When I read your crap, I always get the feeling that every one of you are paid by your party, otherwise, you’d be off listening to Rush.
None of you stay on point, you digress and name call, and make no point, ever.
Get over it – your guy is out, and you’re not getting back in anytime soon. Thank GOD.
“Moyers claims Rove was successful in getting Bush elected as Texas governor because Rove knows that Christians are hateful bigot,” says one poster.
But you just have to read the comments here to see how wrong Moyers is in what that poster considers Moyer’s accusation. And another commenter said: “notice how the hard lefties cannot offer anything positive?” He or she is right, too. Here’s a sampling of comments about Moyers posted here by people who are clearly not hateful bigots and who know how to make positive, intelligent, well-reasoned substantive comments:
o left wing, America hating, hypocrite
o nothing but a bitter old “has been†with who hates his country
o sick puppy
o If Rove was a Dem hack like Cajun Carville, he’d be blowing him right about now.
o left wing rabid ass baboon . . . also be an egocentric, self righteous jerk.
o should be in a styraight jacket, eating pablum.
o bleeding heart socialist/commie
o crying and whining
o really should get that syphilis treated before it drives you completely insane
o Mental midget typical leftwing windbag.
o Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo!
o slimey apostate ex-baptist preacher
o a disgusting human being
Bill Moyers has officially jumped the shark.
I want my money back!!!
@Chris A.
“Shark – Send me one of those stickers. I’ll slap it on the back of my Hummer right next to my “NO MORE AL GORE†& “I Love My Carbon Footprint†stickers.”
I drove a hummer today to haul a big gun. The guys like it when the scrawny computer geek officer girl drives the big machines. :D But they have to be lookouts to be sure I don’t run anyone over… Harder to run them now with the added armor. We really don’t need it here in the USA as much as my fellows do in Iraq :|
The guys just prey here for a Fort Dix thing to entertain them…
I should cut you in on the sticker profits since your posts made me think of it… But I’ll give them away for free :P
Just for “you” my mis-guided climate destroying republican idiot…
CLINTON-GORE IT WORKED BEFORE!!!
Shark – “Clinton/Gore worked before” Ugh. Try to transcend your cliched liberal bumpersticker bromides. If Clinton/Gore had nabbed Bin Laden when he was handed to them on a silver platter in 1996, 3000 of our fellow Americans would still be alive today. We would have had no reason to go into Afghanistan and probably wouldn’t have gone into Iraq either. Yeah, it worked alright…
@ kinahura
“If Clinton/Gore had nabbed Bin Laden when he was handed to them on a silver platter in 1996″
I seem to remember that was too close to the time Ronni was sending antiaircraft munitions over to our good buddy Osama to fight the Russians… I suppose that exact same thing will magically not happen again as we pump $20,000,000,000 of advanced arms over to Cheney’s oil pumper pals in Saudi Arabia…
Really now… Most of you blind retarded idiots need to look up in the rain and just drown yourselves now…
America will not miss you…
Shark, if you and those like you are the future of the Democrat party, Republicans don’t have much to worry about. You need some lessons in history too. Hillary is up to her eyeballs in corruption. Why won’t she release those pages in Slick Willy’s library? What did Sandy Burglar take from the National Archives? You don’t debate, you just call people names and spout slogans.
Once the Democrats get veto proof control of congress in 2008 and the presidency, hopefully, conservative hate speech will be outlawed and the “fairness doctrine” will help make America a far less divisive place. One word from Hannity, Rush, O’Reilly, Malkin ect. against blacks or hispanics or gays and its off to jail for the whole bunch of them. America is tired of their hate.
Moyers is not biased because his view is objective and represents the truth. Catholics are weak minds looking for validation and Bushco is marketed as the messiah for those people by monsters like KKK Rove. How do you think a universally acknowledged idiot like bush got to be president? Millions of Christian idiots and their zombie programmed talk radio filth marching storm trooper like to the polls.
Moyers has long displayed brain rot, probably from alcohol abuse. He has come to believe that his drooling thoughts are self-evidently pure, while others’ are base. He is better than the rest of us, particularly those millions of us who voted for Bush.
His delusions of grandeur can get him into extra trouble. When arrested in Vermont a few years ago for driving under the influence, his irate wail was along the lines of “Don’t you know who I am?!!!!” He later copped a plea, contritely, no doubt based on his lawyer’s advice. But on his own, drunk or sober, he is an arrogant buffoon.
Bill Moyers is contemptible. He is a typical liberal/socialist – hypocritical, lying, self-righteous and preachy. Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. His Bush Derangement Syndrome is more evident than ever. He is a petty, mean little man who loves being up on his soapbox. Thank God he is not the little dictator he would love to be so he could have us all march to his tune!
Aahhh, that was fun to watch! Moyers is the perfect example of a sore, bitter, infantile loser. He contemptibly cheated and lied for Johnson in 1964, and he’s been cheating and lying at PBS for 40 years, all for nothing, and he knows he’s going down!
The country grows steadily more conservative every year, and all his efforts have been wasted. His whole lifetime has been spent whizzing into the wind, and he’s drenched in the foul stench of his own sour, acrid water.
Imagine the hopeless impotent rage he feels every day of his life. No wonder he’s become an alcohol abuser.
It’s time to retire to that villa in southern France, Bill. You still have a few years left before the muzzies burn the place down again. Bon voyage!
Thank God for Rove.
Bill Moyers is also from Texas. But Karl is from the state of Texas. While Bill is from Texas, Mars.
At least Rove never ordered the FBI to dig up dirt on his opponents – the way Moyers (perhaps routinely) did for LBJ. (Reference: http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/01/novak.hoover/index.html ) As a loyal member of what has sadly become the anti-God Democrat Party, Moyers has no business passing such nasty judgments on Rove and Bush. He would do better to start with his own confession.
Bill Moyers is a sanctimonious toad, taking Public Money to spew his point of view.
Post a Comment

Moyers, I do believe that you have been talking about yourself throughout this. NOT about Rove.
You are pathetic.
You try to come off like a thoughtful intellectual, and it just doesn’t work.
