DEAN MISLEADS ON 9-11 "THEORY"

Candle-powered Howard (candle-powered, both because he's one of those turn-back-the-clock greenies and because he's apparently just not all that bright), when pressed on his wacky 9-11 conspiracy theory in last night's debate, had this to say:

WMUR’S SCOTT SPRADLING: “Governor Dean, you had once stated that you thought it was possible that the president of the United States had been forewarned about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. You later said that you didn't really know. A statement like that, don't you see the possibility of some Democrats being nervous about statements like that leading them to the conclusion that you are not right for being the next commander in chief?”

HOWARD DEAN: “Well, in all due respect, I did not exactly state that. I was asked on Fox, fair and balanced news, that … I was asked why I thought the president was withholding information, I think it was, or 9/11 or something like that. And I said, well, the most interesting theory that I heard, which I did not believe, was that the Saudis had tipped him off.”

Yeah, yeah, gov, blame it all on Fox. Those nasty Murdoch clones must have trapped you into hinting that you thought Bush had preknowledge of 9-11. Except for one inconvienent fact--it's a brazen lie. The Fox connection is that Chris Wallace asked you about your theory after you'd already aired it on NPR's Diane Rehm show on Dec 1, in the following dissertation on why President Bush is supposedly concealing 9-11 records from the investigating commission:

“The most interesting theory that I’ve heard so far – which is nothing more than a theory, I can’t think – it can’t be proved – is that [President Bush] was warned ahead of time [about the 9/11 attacks] by the Saudis.”

On Fox News Sunday (Dec 7), Wallace was merely asking a good follow-up, not putting words in your mouth or somehow tricking you into tinfoil hat land. And even if he did trick you, what does that say about your mental wattage?

Want further evidence that Howie is a shifty sort who may not be ready for prime time? Check out this exchange with Chris Wallace on the same show:

WALLACE: A newspaper columnist this week called you the first Teflon-coated Democrat. You've hit some rough patches recently -- the comments about the Confederate flag, keeping your records as governor secret. But why do you think you're able to defy, so far, the laws of political gravity?

DEAN: Well, I think a lot of people are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us, which is what they do at this time of year if they think you're the front-runner.

Neither of the problems mentioned were "thrown at" Dean by anyone else. He created them himself, and has tried to spin his way out of them. The Confederate flag--only a problem because Dean made it one. His Vermont records--he's the one who sealed them up. No one threw any of those issues at him--he tossed them up and they just came back down to bean him on the head. Kind of like those morons who fire guns into the air to celebrate New Year's, only to have the bullet come straight back down and hit them.

The rest of Dean's appearance is literally filled with lies. Not spin--lies. He says we hit Iraq unilaterally, even though Britian, Australia, Spain, Italy and Poland all took part, and Japan and South Korea and lots of smaller states are set to send troops or already have. He says Bush tried to cut the military's hazard pay--never happened.

Howard lies more than Bill Clinton in a room full of debutantes. Maybe MoveOn's Daily Mislead will tackle this? Heh. Right. Fat chance.

”…I think it was or like 9/11 or something like that”

WTF??!!

I watched that FOX interview and I thought the man was border-line incoherent then. This is direct evidence of mental illness.

I don’t like Dean, but I don’t think it’s so farfetched that the Saudis, longtime buddies of the Bush Family, could have tipped off GWB.

If so, should he have done something about it? Why, when the benefits outweigh the consequences? Could now go into Afghanistan and Iraq with some impunity. Could get that Patriot Act and the Pax up to full steam. Get military spending back up, thus fattening the wallets of old business buddies. Clean out the National Treasury. Seems to me too many goodies from One Giant Bad.

There’s quite a bit of rotten stuff that goes on between the two Royal Familes, I’d imagine.

First off, they are doing what they told everyone else NOT to do; doing business with and protecting terrorists.

I have some doubts about all this, but the bottom line for me is I wouldn’t put it past W and wouldn’t be at all surprised if ever proven true, even in the tiniest part.

Yeah, well I remember that you posted composited pics of GWB smiling in the foreground while the planes hit the Towers in the background. That stuff was on your site in the early days, right? So for you to now jump into Dean’s moonbat land is just a return home, in a way. You’d just love for your early forays into insanity to be proven right.

Seriously, do you really think Bush wanted to go to war? In Afghanistan, of all places? Where was the pre-attack (or post-attack, for that matter) military buildup then? These conspiracy theories come at GWB from both directions, which gives away their true shallowness and stupidity. One the one hand, you folks will say “Bush knew!” while on the other hand, you’ll say he was asleep at the switch or that he ran from the attacks as they occurred on 9-11. Which was it? I’d say that your theory should at least strive for some sort of coherence, but as you’re all just making it up as you go anyway, I won’t hold you to much of a standard there. But it would be nice for you guys to at least invent a set of circumstances that isn’t filled with internal contradictions.

And if the Saudis foreknew, why would they forewarn? What would be the point? Were they trying to stop the attack, or just let W in on the secret so he could get ready to take advantage? You’re making the charge here, so justify it with something other than hot air. And apply a little logic to it, for once.

The problem here isn’t so much that you, Sylvain, buy into this crap. You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, whether it’s based in reality or not. The real problem that the man who will apparently lead the Democrats into the next election gives it a sort of credibility by floating it on national radio. It’s unconscionable to do that unless he has some evidence, which he admits that he doesn’t. He even admits that he doesn’t believe in the theory; therefore, he’s just smearing W with some boobyhatch nonsense that should by all rights sink his own candidacy for good. It’s not good for the country, and it demonstrates a bunch of negative things both about the Democrats (who haven’t sufficiently chastised Dean for it), about the press (especially NPR, which just let it go without a follow-up), and about Dean (that he’s unserious and that he’s willing to engage in the absolute lowest sort of tactics if he thinks it will help him win).

If we allow this kind of thing to go unchallenged, we will lose this war.

“If we allow this kind of thing to go unchallenged, we will lose this war.”

Really, that’s the Left’s sick point. They’d love nothing more than for America to go down in flames. They’d laugh hysterically . . . until the Wahabists were at THIER door. Then it’d be people like me laughing at the shocked look on their faces as they discovered that all their hatred of America and all their love of Terror still leaves them worthy only of death or slavery to the Muslim mind.
