CNN perpetrated a major ruse on the voting public last night with their fraudulent Neocon debate. We shouldn’t have expected anything more after they hosted a Tea Party celebration that was advertised as a debate just a few weeks ago.
This last night thing was even more troubling.
Yes, I know it was a joint venture with AEI but CNN still conned us all night with this group of Neocons who were responsible for the fiasco in Iraq, 10 pointless years in Afghanistan and all of this war talk with Iran. These were the loons responsible for Cheney’s torture policy and the illegal Gitmo prison.
But time and time again, Wolf said: “let me take a question from someone in the audience.”
"Someone" in the audience?
Those were NOT just “someone in the audience” these are the Neocons who nearly destroyed America.
I found the transcripts and listed the Cons who asked questions to remind us who they really are and how they hurt America:
1. Fred Kagan, resident scholar and director of the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute. One of the authors of Bush’s Iraq plan.
2. Mike Gonzalez (phd) of the Heritage Foundation. A member of Bush’s fiscal team.
3. Alison Acosta Fraser, Heritage: one of the cons who wants to blow-up Medicare and Medicaid.
4. Professor Wolfowitz, AEI: Cheney’s brain.
5. Alex Brill: AEI’s hit-man to destroy the stimulus—which we just learned created 3.3 million jobs according to the CBO.
6. David Addington. VP Heritage Foundation. 21 years of federal service, for the Reagan White House, the Department of Defense, four congressional committees, and the Cheney Office of the Vice President.
7. Katherine Zimmerman, AEI: al Qaeda experts who obviously was a failure.
8. Mark Teese (phd): Visiting fellow with the American Enterprise Institute.
9. Danielle Pletka, AEI: now this sister is a piece of work. She was Bush’s chief propagandist to sell the war, torture prisoners and peddle Neocon propaganda on cable TV.
10. Marc Thiessen, AEI: another propagandist who was the speech-writer for Bush. His job was to con all of us in speeches –it worked.
So I’m troubled by last night’s whole dog-n-pony show. Here you have (who pretends to be) the most reputable cable news outlet teaming up with a bunch of Neocons who destroyed America to give them two-hours to peddle right-wing propaganda.
Not once did Wolf or anyone else ever mention Obama has ended the war in Iraq. Not once did they mention it was a Dem who has captured or killed nearly all of America’s greatest terror threats. What we did see was organized propaganda on CNN that was bought and paid for by Neocons.
This whole thing was a total farce!!
