McCain Falsely Claims the Iraqi Prime Minister Has ‘Condemned Hezbollah’

...Duncan

Call McCain's offices and ask them if his ignorance or deception about this issue means he's unqualified to lead. Ask if he intends to apologize to those he smeared.

"The Iraqis want the troops to leave. Bring them home now..."

Is that Joe Lieberman jumping up to applaud at around the .58 second mark?

(h/t TP for the identity of Medea)

Howard Stern goes after Lieberman hard and his team do know many of the issues that surround this election.

Gary, his producer, is voting for Lamont. He brought up Holy Joe's support for censorship.

Stern: All the Democrats in CT are like...you know what? Lieberman's looking a little too Republican for us with his religious ranting and all of his morality crap.

Robin: In fact, at one point, the President-- walking up the aisle at one of his SOTU addresses or something--kissed Lieberman..

Stern: Yea, they made out. So I think Democrats in CT have had enough of him...

Robin: And guess what, Lieberman is fighting a little dirty...

Robin: It was him who was with William Bennett (plays Lieberman audio)

"If you had a European prime minister who experienced what we've experienced, it would be expected that he would retire or resign." Buckley

Limbaugh is really having a problem with Buckley coming out against Bush again. He's instilling in his listeners that Bush really isn't a conservative and as his caller highlights: "Mr. Buckley is philosophically senile." You can hear the desperation in his arguments. It' still Clinton and the media's fault for the failure in Iraq.

RUSH: Okay. Now, what explains this? You know, we dealt with this once before. This is not the first time that Mr. Buckley has been highlighted by the Drive-By Media in his disagreements with President Bush -- and, look, I don't want to speak for him. As to sound bite number three, let's tackle that one first because that's the easiest. I have said this, Buckley just said it in a different way when he says, "I think Mr. Bush faces a singular problem best defined, I think, as the absence of effective conservative ideology." Well, I'll climb on board. I'll agree with that. But all he's saying is that Mr. Bush is a Republican, but he is not the leader of a movement.
(snip)

We have a Republican president who is conservative on some things and others he's not. He's going about his job in his own way. That certainly is no crime, but to the Drive-By Media, why, why, that would be an indictment. He's lost his wheels as a conservative because they are interested in conservatism losing its wheels, they are interested in conservatism falling apart because they know conservatism is the foundation and the dynamic of the Republican Party. So when you have somebody as powerful as Mr. Buckley saying it, they get all excited and they start panting. (Panting.) "The Republican Party is about to fall apart! Bill Buckley says so, we've got it on tape, Saturday night CBS Evening News!"

From KEITH OLBERMANN: Subject -- Response to Ailes. "Over the line?" Where was Roger Ailes when Bill O'Reilly defended the Nazi SS stormtroopers from Malmedy in World War II? The SS shot 84 American POW's there in 1944, and three different times in the last year, Bill called has called those dead American heroes war criminals. I guess there is no line at Fox News.
