Dean on Rumsfield: “Textbook authoritarianism”

John Dean weighs in on Donald Rumsfields comments related to calling those against the war “appeasers.” Note also the comments on fear. [NOTE: if you see a white space below, YouTube is down]

UPDATE: Check out the video of Keith Olbermann’s commentary on the Rumsfield speech over at Crooks and Liars. Definitely worth a watch.

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  1. I am sure Keith Olberman speaks for the majority of Americans. After all, he has so many viewers. Oh, wait. . . . . .

  2. Attack the message, not the messenger. Isn’t that what you guys are always saying?

  3. I couldn’t help but jab Olberman, since he is so off-base.

    The “message” doesn’t even dignify a responce. Except that us conservatives are glad the Bush administration is finally firing back.

    If something appears on MSNBC, Rush Limbaugh always explains what it is because he is afraid no one has seen it. :) HAHAHAHA

  4. The prefect example of a ditto head.

    Keith Olbermann is absolutely right in his scathing commentary on Rumsfeld. How dare Rummy accuse anyone that even questions the administartion’s failed policies and failed performance as “appeasers.”

  5. HR Conservative, to paraphrase A FEW GOOD MEN, “You Can’t Handle the Truth!!!”

  6. Here’s a good article about the absurd, Orwellian behavior of Rumsfeld. It makes me wonder why Bush and Co. are always so obsessed with how history will judge them. They cannot even honestly reconcile their own behavior over the last 20+ years.

  9. Funny, I wonder can be said of Fox News ratings being down 24% since last summer. Who else’s numbers are down?

  10. That’s 28% DOWN. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

  11. If we have not had an attack on our soil in five years, when was the last time we had one prior to 9-11?

  12. 1941 (except our home-grown terrorist Timothy McVeigh). So I guess you’ll be slapping shrub on the back for that one too? Bad argument. YOU GOT NOTHING.

  13. I remember a number of American’s died, a US senator’s office targeted, and the postal service being in crisis when the country was being attacked by anthrax in the mail. After 9/11. And this has not been solved. Ignorance of history does not mean that it didn’t occur.

    It’s also widely acknowleged that we will be hit again, it’s only a matter of time. What then will be the excuse?

    Posted by zen | Tuesday, September 5, 2006, 3:54 pm
  14. Yeah, where is the Anthrax mailer? Do you think he’s with OBL? Let’s call Musharraf…

    Neo-fascists talk big but what do they really do besides talk?
