I don’t trust Eric Holder, he won’t go after the Black Panthers, ACORN, or the crooks in Congress. I trust Toyota more than this whole dam administration. Now we have 7 more terrorist in Washington in the Justice Department.

Look for more attacks on Liz Cheney by the useful leftist tools… She is a conservative that scares the hell out of the Progressives…

are the msnbc lefties all of a sudden not seeing bush people as minions of hitler? when did that change?

Mandy   March 6th, 2010 - 7:44 pm

That’s too funny. Someone on Keith Olberman’s show talking about someone “crossing the line of decency.” Go figure.

I don’t see the point of linking something from MSNBC. They have about as many viewers as your random blog on the interwebs has readers. My mailman has more poignant thoughts than all of that station combined. Any time I see a piece of theirs linked, it’s nothing more than “wahh wahh wahh fox news has more viewers so let’s say something crass and hope it gets us some attention.”

Sunnyr   March 6th, 2010 - 7:48 pm

Eric Holder is has already committed unforgivable acts of subversive BS and should be FIRED! Unamerican PUNK!

Go Liz!!

We have cause for concern because Eric Holder was not open about hiring these lawyers. This administration has concealed so many appointments. Where is the transparency?

If anything, folks should appreciate the tenacity of Liz Cheney in shining the light on AG Eric Holder’s hiring practices.

Snailmailtrucker   March 6th, 2010 - 7:55 pm

I haven’t even been able to get this video to play…. but

I am as Conservative as they get and I love everything that Ms. Cheney has to say… the more the Main Stream Media has a problem with it… the more I like it!

They refuse to do their jobs… someone should fix their asses good!

THE IMPOSTERS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ARE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   March 6th, 2010 - 8:01 pm

America…Liz Cheney shares the value of ‘real’ Americans. She is speaking up and speaking out for ‘real’ Americans, as is her father former VP Cheney.

They are taking the heat…for ‘real’ Americans…and ‘real’ Americans will stand up with Liz Cheney!

That is what we need in America…we need to stick together as a group! As a group of ‘fed up Americans’ fighting back against the government that we feel is taking us to the abyss.

We have dared…to ‘question with boldness’ our government and our represenatives and we have found them ‘wanting’!

We will continue to ‘question with boldness’ this government and our representatives until we feel they get back to representing their constituents who sent them to Washington to represent.

Not attack one another…sticking together to get the job done!

Thank you, Liz, for standing up for our Republic and the Constitution.

JUST NINE (8) MORE MONTHS TO “D” DAY II !

Bill Smith   March 6th, 2010 - 8:15 pm

I haven’t seen the Cheney video.

But, nor did we see direct quotes, or better, video clips OF her saying what they’re so upset about.

Why is that?

This entire piece is based on just two words: “Implied,” and “suggested.” Based on MSNBC’s record, I’m not ABOUT to trust their interpretation of Liz Cheney’s actual words.

This is television, folks! Why not SHOW Cheney saying these things, and let the viewers decide what she was implying or suggesting, Hmmmmm?

What does it “suggest” about MSNBC’s confidence in their position that they don’t SHOW the best evidence — if it’s so damning? Why look like they’re hiding something?

One can only infer.

Why trust those who VOLUNTEERED to defend Al Qaeda?

Little different from being appointed to do so, don’t ya think? Oh, that’s right, you and Keith DON’T think…just jabber.

Dave, Tn   March 6th, 2010 - 8:52 pm

I haven’t seen the video form Liz’s group either but I was reading about it at powerline today. I agree with powerline’s take on it, but that doesn’t mean I’d ever do what these pr!cks in NY want and be part of trying to shove Liz off the stage. I love seeing 2-3 of them try and take her down at one time, they always fail. They (the trash of nbc and msnbc) occupy no moral high ground to demand a freaking thing. I had four friends serving in Iraq and Afghanistan 2,3,4 tours and these ass clowned leftist didn’t worry about crossing any lines to get at Bush so EFF you leftist trash clowns.

LtothepowerofK   March 6th, 2010 - 8:56 pm

Jaynie59   March 6th, 2010 - 9:11 pm

Conservatives have a tendency to eat their own. They can’t help it because they are reasonable people. What’s maddening is that they tend to go way overboard in some demented expectation that liberals will somehow respect them for criticizing another conservative. Or they don’t want to be seen as doing what liberals do by “blindly” supporting a conservative no matter what they say. They actually get embarrassed when a conservative says or does something that a liberal hates. Or that they would hate if they were a liberal.

They empathize with liberals, so attack conservatives to seem fair. That’s why so many conservatives diminish people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. And Andrew Breitbart.

What conservative bashing conservatives don’t take into account is the fact that liberals are hateful, spiteful, despicable people who are always going to consider them Evil with a capital E no matter what they say and do, and the only thing they accomplish by denigrating another conservative is to give Liberals proof of how Evil all conservatives are.

mojo   March 6th, 2010 - 9:16 pm

Well, Liz is right and I share her concerns, as do most Americans.

Why isn’t MSNBC breaking the story of Jihadi lawyers in the DOJ?? Isn’t that news? Why is it news somebody else has to sound the alarm? We don’t let mafia lawyers in the DOJ office.

TalkAmerican   March 6th, 2010 - 9:17 pm

I must be confused about who Liz Cheney is… these posts tell that Liz Cheney is a conservative, like she’s an example of American traditional family values… then who is the Liz Cheney that was talked about a while ago that is lesbian and lives with a female wife/husband and they adopted a child? Sorry, really don’t get the connection with reality if they are one and the same… because the lesbian lifestyle would be opposite American traditional Christian Family values. Please let me know there are 2 Liz Cheneys and if so, what does the lesbian with wife/husband and adopted child do? Is she in government too or the corporate world… anyone know? Thanks.

muggins   March 6th, 2010 - 9:17 pm

McCarthy was actually right 85% of the time when he was outing the commies. They infiltrated our government’s highest levels. Alger Hiss? The Rosenbergs?

They stopped him and that’s why they’re still there!

John   March 6th, 2010 - 9:52 pm

TalkAmerican –

Dick Cheney has another daughter, sister to Liz. The lesbian is a political noncombatant, but the libs dragged the lesbian into the election debates in 2004 to besmirch the dad.

Liz is smart as a whip and I believe held a serious government office position, but I cannot remember what it was. Sorry.

2010SpaceOdyssey   March 6th, 2010 - 9:52 pm

First of all, my sympathies for being cheney’s daughter. Second, you would be zilch, zero, just another nonsensical voice, vying for media attention if you hobnobbed with the minions. Third, when you have no substance, lack all credibility–present tripe. Let’s try the fear factor like your war mongering and profiteering father alluded to. Hey, it worked for him. Added $$ to the family coffers. Now if he can just look in the mirror without vomiting.

father_moray   March 6th, 2010 - 10:24 pm

LIZ very strong and wise…

quivive   March 6th, 2010 - 10:47 pm

Liz is definitely her parent’s daughter. She is an intelligent and articulate while being a great critical thinker. She is also a fearless debater who never accepts the premise of her opponents. Time and again Liz enters the liberal lion’s den and comes out unscathed. Liz Chenney is the type of leader we need to represent us. Her father isn’t too shabby either.

Dave in Oregon   March 6th, 2010 - 10:47 pm

Hey 2010SpaceOdyssey:

“Second, you would be zilch, zero, just another nonsensical voice, vying for media attention if you hobnobbed with the minions.”

Do you mean like 95% of the Hollywood “elite” or your MSNBC, CBS, CNBC and Main Stream Media?

“Let’s try the fear factor like your war mongering and profiteering father alluded to”
Do you mean like calling EVERYONE who has an opposing view….
A RACIST, or a HOMOPHOBE?

The Senior Cheney’s are as patriotic as they come, and I would be proud to stand along side Dick Cheney in any battle, where you would be running the other way!

Not much hope for you be we can pray!

wimperwimper   March 6th, 2010 - 10:56 pm

You go for it girl – not scary to us real Republicans – only the RHINOS. She scares the pants off of them and the libs because she is brilliant, articulate and they have not clue how to really stand up to her because she will stare them down everytime. God Bless you Liz and your family

2010SpaceOdyssey March 6th, 2010 – 9:52 pm
post a link to the money the Cheney Family made off the wars. I remember one tax return for 2005 or 06 where they brought home something like 9 million and gave 6. something to charity.
Of course we know from Obama and Biden’s returns when it comes to charity they’re all hat and no ass.

The biggest crime spree during the Bush years was the money the out of office democrats took out of the Fannies. You think rich people around the world really paid Clinton, Rubin, Summers et al all those millions to here them speak? bahhhhahahha

BTW what really pisses me off and makes me doubt the Bush Cheney bunch is that they didn’t roll those bastards up before they could damage the country so badly.

buford   March 7th, 2010 - 12:41 am

I cannot believe what is happening with this spin job. Being Politically Correct has almost killed us and the so called conservatives are not backing their own when Eric Holder is trying to hide something by not telling who those lawyers were for three months. Why hasn’t MSNBC mentioned that. That should be public record just like all the other records you have hide away. One day the truth will come out but the liberals won this round but will have egg on their face when the Muslims bring for Shariah law soon if the Main Stream Media and Rhinos don’t wake up.

brent   March 7th, 2010 - 12:43 am

So what if Bush had three attorneys working with the terrorist? Does that make them conservatives who dont fall for the Islam propaganda? Since they got involved Muslims have gained more advantages than any other religion in the past ten years. Seems like those lawyers may have had something to do with the invasion.

Kyle   March 7th, 2010 - 3:05 am

Lawrence O’Donnell frothing at the mouth again! He’s the most laughable blowhard on TV – surpassing even the caricature that is Olbermann and that old spiteful fool Matthews. So glad the left has these guys around bringing them repeatedly into disrepute. In this case, he’s still bitter that Liz whipped him in that televised debate a while ego. But i guess he is oblivious that people see that. It’s embarrasing for him.

KeepAmericaSafe is being tremendously effective with these videos. The left doesn’t like to be exposed this way. It’s got way under the skin of the whole bunch of them. HardBall also threw a hissy-fit about it!

Charles   March 7th, 2010 - 3:27 am

I am a conservative and I applaud Liz Cheney. Like Andrew Brietbart has said, we conservatives arent going to be laying back and taking it anymore without confronting them and making them accountable for the crap they say! Go Liz and Andrew, lets go get em!

sir winston   March 7th, 2010 - 3:38 am

Given Ms Cheney’s pedigree and proven ability, I think she is more than capable of holding her own when it comes to handling the leftists in this country and the weak-kneed apologists in the GOP.

I’d just like to see her take her fired-up approach to the next level, in either the nation’s conservative movement or in government service.

Flayer   March 7th, 2010 - 3:59 am

Are conservatives upset with Liz Cheney?
Uh…No.
Liz rocks!

Lindava   March 7th, 2010 - 4:13 am

The issue here is whether terrorism is a criminal act or an act of war…whether terrorists are entitled to all the legal protections of our criminal justice system or not. O and his minions, like the Clintons before him, believe that terrorism is merely criminal, not much more serious than oh, say, robbing a bank. The lawyers that Holder has hired clearly also believe this, since they have volunteered to be defense attorneys in these prosecutions. If we are going to prosecute these scumbags as “criminals,” then, obviously, someone has to defend them, that’s the way it works.

The “Keep America Safe” part of the equation deals with the form that our rights and protections take, which includes “discovery” that may require sensitive information being provided to people who are trying to kill us all, and with providing a forum for them to hurt America with invective and lies as they mount their “defense.”

Trust me, they will never be impressed with our open-mindedness and the perceived “consistency” of our “rule of law.” Winning the “hearts and minds” of heartless, mindless barbarians is impossible by definition. Completely fruitless stupidity will not contribute to our safety.

Roger   March 7th, 2010 - 4:35 am

I dont know about conservatives! But this libertarian can live without the Carpetbagging Cheney Family. (i.e. Changing my voting registration back to wyoming from texas, so I can be the vice president canadite) anyone rember that carpetbaging?? Constitution he so loves that says president and vice president cant come from the same state, he skirted the constitution in my book.

TalkAmerican   March 7th, 2010 - 8:58 am

To John at 3/6 9:52p: Thank you. I really appreciate the clarification about the two Cheney daughters.

However, not knowing anything about either except the one reputation I mentioned, I’m really annoyed with the politicians’ royalty status in our country… whether Kennedys or Reids or any of them who push their family members onto the political stage as their mouthpieces or as House-Senate seat holders… now includes the Cheneys. Stale.

We need to step into our votingboothTANKS and clear the field of all on the ballot who held elected office and don’t let them use relatives as their messengers after they are out.

We must have a fresh start politically. We’ve had too many dynasties and look what it got us. Thoughtless Rebellion. We need to remember that people voted AGAINST the attack on Iraq that was pushed by Bush AND Cheney, and our CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS have been damaged and our jobs were shipped to other countries, illegals were allowed in to push out Americans “who wouldn’t do those jobs” (ha), and our money was squandered. Bush and Cheney both have too much baggage but they don’t care… there will be another Bush going for some elected job, and Cheney is working that side of the street too. McCain is using his daughter as a mouthpiece, Kennedys still try to put their family in power, and they always will. From what I’ve now seen, Liz is preparing for House or Senate office… and trying to overshadow Palin – NOT saying I support Palin, but not anti, either. BE LOYAL TO OUR CONSTITUTION not to those who stake out political ground for family dynasties… even if they are lovely people folks, remember POWER CORRUPTS and we must keep it out of dangerous power seeking AGENDAS. WE matter First.

The American NAZI Party is the Democrats if it’s anything- read history you snapper head! After all the DNC also started the KKK after the Civil War.

And the best (LOL) is to remember Bush’s failures……you know, “Least we forget…” LOLOLOLOL!
After only 12 months of Obama and his great leadership and economic prowess (snicker) you have to ALREADY make sure you try to keep the Bush bashing going…..LOL! You’re MESSIAH is a bigger joke in only 12 months than any other President in their entire term – EVER!

And just so you know he’s the only President ever elected into office not because of his character but because of the color of his skin – that my friend makes the Race Baiter in Chief the complete opposite of everything MLK fought for. He’s a joke and the black community and guilty white people should be ashamed and embarassed of the gigolo.

And Dave in Oregon– speaking of running the other way in battle–Dicky boy, your hero- had five–count them 5–deferments during the Viet Nam war. That speaks volumes for his military valor. While other brave men foughto heroically and sixty six thousand payed the ultimate price, the war profiteer was accumulating his vast military credentials in the war zone of Wyoming. So when you go to battle with this brave compatriot, don’t forget to show him how to correctly button his uniform. And you are And as for your additional name calling, you could not be further off the mark. As far as the TV stations you mentioned–you leftg off that paragon of truth reporting and their stooges.

Liz Cheney is akin to the Emperor with no clothes–no truth, no substance, no charisma and void of any contribution to the issues of the day. She’s a nobody. The daughter of the sidekick of the most bungle headed 43rd this country ever spawned. Go away and let real journalist have the spotlight– like Mike O’Keeffe and his entourage.
