what makes it worse is dan senor is Jewish.

it makes it worse, but not more surprising.

the "anti-war" left is the home of anti-Semitism.

I thank Mr. Hacket for service to our country.

That said, his behavior in the above interview was shameful. I hope I never have the displeasure of seeing him on television again.

I had more colorful comments in mind, but decided to stay in grownupland.

I saw that exchange. My bet is we won't be seeing Hacket on tv again, unless its sitting next to Jimmuh Cartah at the convention. It was a real hit piece, and you could see it took everyone by surprise. He wasn't in studio, but I bet he got his ass booted out of the Fox affiliate. Oh well, just another slimy dem..unexplainable, inexcuseable, and an absolute embarrassment to humankind. If the nation wishes to stay in grownupland, they will need to take note of the havoc the lefties are causing to civility.

Dan Senor recently married the liberal NBC journalist, sometimes anchor, Cambell Brown. Maybe this will wake her up to how batty her side has become.

Leave it to Wikipedia:

In September 2004, the White House employed Senor to coach and ghostwrite the speeches of Iraq's interim prime minister Iyad Allawi during his visit to the US, in an effort to enhance the Bush reelection campaign. At the same time, Senor appeared on cable news programs asserting that Allawi's positive remarks (vetted by him) supported the Bush Administration's rosy view of the Iraqi occupation.

Is "unterfuhrer" german for "puppeteer?

No wonder you conservofascist sockpuppets are falling all over yourself and making wet spots on your jeans over this -- Dan Senor is the sockpuppet King.

Paul Hackett proved in this interview that he is a mouthy and insensitive ass. He was rude and crude, and his Nazi Germanic reference was over the top and beyond common decency in reasoned, proper discourse. He does not deserve to be member of the United States Congress - even though he does satisfy basic requirements:He lives and breathes and he can interrupt ongoing conversations with insignificant idiocy.

Forget that Hackett served his country. If someone is the Pope today and murders someone tomorrow, he a murderer, not a pope.
Isn't Hackett the same idiot the lefties built up to run for office and then dumped a bucket of sh** on? He a slime ball and even the lefties figured it out, one time at least. Guess their memory, like their patroitism, is shot.
And Lee can jump me for slamming Hackett as soon as he serves more than 21 Yrs., 6 Mos. and 11 days in the U.S. Military, until then shut up about something you know nothing about. Hackett is a has been hack just like the rest of the politicians on the left. Anyone remember Traitor Hanoi John and Traitor John Murtha. Both should be tried and shot. See I had them tried before I had them shot, unlike Big Mouth Senile Murtha.

Like I said you can tell who wrote the post without looking at the name-allah old "pucker puss" (lee lee)

Oh! Wikipedia is the source of all wisdom and truth, at least for one moron here.

There was certainly no lopsided point of view in that user supplied bit of information.

You should create an online sig with the following line,

"I reject your reality and substitute my own!"

Of course it has been used before in a joking manner, but for you it seems to hold true.

What a dolt!

Wikipedia - lol.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, Wikipedia relies on reader contributions and editing for its material. If you are willing to register with a valid email address, you can edit. It wasn't always so "restrictive."

In many cases, drooling moonbat morons have edited entries with their extreme left anti-American take on things. This has lead to some further "rules" at Wikipedia, but they can only be applied when complaints arrive. In the meantime, many idiots can quote them as "authoritative."

Don't be dumb enough to be their prey.

Hackett showed that he is completely out of control. I guess the democrats actually ran from him when he ran for office.
I was shocked that he was allowed to keep talkin. Kasich tried to control him, but he was not controllable.

Having to resort to name calling and ad hominem attacks really defeats any coherent message that Hackett may have had. I never need to see him on TV again. Perhaps his plan was to make Dan Senor look like a brilliant diplomat, if it wasn't his plan Hackett failed miserably.

How do we get left wing lunatics like Lee to hate the terrorists just 10% as much as they hate Republicans?

"How do we get left wing lunatics like Lee to hate the terrorists just 10% as much as they hate Republicans?"

Simple, Infidel. Just give them the White House, Congress and SCOTUS. That's all this has ever been about. Oh, sure, Lee will deny it, squawk something about "crushing of dissent" or "Faux News" or "conservofascist sockpuppets," but it's true. The left has decided - like a spoiled child - that until it gets back power, it will do everything it can to delay, obstruct, defeat and block this adminstration as much as possible. If it means a few Americans have to die in a terror attack. . .well, you can't make omelets without breaking a few eggs, can you?

Go ahead, Infidel - ask Lee where all this outrage was when the Syphilitic Hillbilly lied. About mass graves. About the troops being home for Christmas. About the WMD hidden in a Sudanese aspirin factory. Where was his outrage when that miserable piece of sewage invaded Haiti unilaterally? Or attacked Bosnia (which, of course, posed no imminent threat to us)?

Hell, he was probably chortling over those stoopid religious freaks at Waco who deserved to get firebombed. Or cheered as Janet Reno's thugs tore a little boy out of his relatives' home at gunpoint. That was simply democracy in action. But the War on Terror? All a fake. A Halliburton plot. There are no terrorists. Just happy Muslims we haven't met yet. And anyway, it's all the fault of (shhhhhh!!) the Joooooooooos, dont'cha know.

And of course, Lee, I notice the whole point of this post blew right by you - should anyone, left or right, running for public office, have recourse to Nazi smears? Is that now an accepted part of public discourse? Or do you condemn it in any way at all?

Waiting for desperate flailing to change the subject in 3. . .2. . .1. . .

Senor was trotting out BushCo talking point #12b, namely that anyone who addresses any type of exit strategy out of the Iraq debacle is an "appeaser", just like those prior to WWII. When called on it by both Kasich and Hackett he wimped out. Hackett proceeded to dress him down for being the chickenhawk talking head he is. Nice work.

Name calling? Oh, the horror! Not in today's media?

cmd:

My only question is: you condemn Nazi smears but call an ex-president a "Syphilitic Hillbilly ." One should be condemned, the other not?

I am a lefty and I condemn what Hackett said. it's disgusting.

Good for you, Hugh. Glad at least one lefty has a shred of decency.

OK - point taken on Clinton. Mea culpa.

I still think he's a piece of human sewage, though.

Capitalist Infidel-

How to solve your "Lee" question-

Let's see what could the ad campaign look like-

Terrorists kill squirrels and hate elk-also if Iran gets that nuclear bomb-Just THINK of the

GLOBAL WARMING

Save the ENVIRONMENT!-and of course the helpless squirrels.

{Dear Lee-this has been a "pretend" ad just because I put it in blockquote doesn't mean it's real-and just because you read it at wikipedia-oh crap-I give up.}

I saw the program and it was a debacle. Kasich did his best and ultimately cut Hackett off. Like many Democrats, he seems to feel that if he just keeps spewing torrents of meaningless and hateful words, he will make his point. Well, he made a point all right - he made it clear that he is a loon and a loser and a traitorous p.o.s. Just because he served in the military that does NOT buy him a pass on his subsequent moonbattery!

No rebuttals on Senor's role as speechmaker and puppeteer in Iraq - just the usual ad hominem "shoot the messenger" crap from conservofascist defenders of the Red Team.

Looks like Hackett nailed it.

OK Lee-

In your world, Senor wrote a speech for a minister in Iraq- this makes him equivalent to a Junior Hitler.

If you don't think that's an ad hominem attack-Hackett comparing Senor to Hitler-if you can't make that baby step of logic than-

no one can help you.

Let that hackett crum talk and talk. He'll bury the democrapic party with his own words. Like the Bush impersonator on Leno eluded to last night: The one thing that will help the Republicans in November are the democrats.

If you support democracy in Iraq and oppose al-Qaeda then you are a Nazi? That's what I like about the Left. They're not just a little crazy they go all out. Tinfoil hats and all.

Dan Senor mother is a Holocaust survivor

http://www.alligator.org/pt2/050310senor.php

"(Dan) Senor, 33, spent a year at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and keeps kosher. His mother is a Holocaust survivor, and he related the current psychological conditions of the Iraqis recovering from the horrors they have witnessed to Holocaust survivors like his mother."

I saw it too and it was pathetic. He sounded like a raving lunatic. This is one angry, angry guy!! He will never succeed in politics. He will turn off the majority of voters. The Democrats must have gotten some of this when they decided to dump him.

As for military service, it may or may not mean something. There are examples both good and bad. For the Democrats on this thread, Duke Cunningham was a war hero yet you love to use him for the culture of corruption theme against Republicans. 90% of Americans never served in the military. The constitution gives civilians control of the military. Everone should stop using military service as a reason to refrain from criticizing someone.

"In your world, Senor wrote a speech for a minister in Iraq- this makes him equivalent to a Junior Hitler."

Is that what I said? - it's back to puppeteering school for you, Rory.

Here's what I quoted:

In September 2004, the White House employed Senor to coach and ghostwrite the speeches of Iraq's interim prime minister Iyad Allawi during his visit to the US, in an effort to enhance the Bush reelection campaign. At the same time, Senor appeared on cable news programs asserting that Allawi's positive remarks (vetted by him) supported the Bush Administration's rosy view of the Iraqi occupation.

Ghostwriters are used all the time, and I don't have a problem with that - it is the conservofascist puppeteer approach to swaying public opinion that I object to -- "Senor appeared on cable news programs asserting that Allawi's positive remarks (vetted by him) supported the Bush Administration's rosy view of the Iraqi occupation."

Dollars to donuts it was the "All Conservofascism Channel" Fox News that put this puppeteer on stage -- wanna bet?

And I can't believe how many of you watch O'Reilly. Really, you ought to be ashamed.

Let me get this straight. Hackett actually called the son of a Holocaust survivor a Nazi, and some are actually defending Hackett?? It's amazing how partisanship can warp one's views.

Who was responsible on the D side for pulling the plug on his campaign?? At least that person recognizes nutwing crazy when he/she sees it.

Holy Density Lee!

Not Y-O-U-

Hackett.

Jeez. . .

You have to spell it out for some pinheads, and you know who you are.

Just because you quote some information from Wikipedia, it does not make your quote any more reliable then if I post some non-sensible crap at Wikipedia and then quote it.

It is information from users and not vetted in any way, shape, or form. Beginning to rebut that which has no proven validity is a waste of time. But of course you would find value there because it matches your alternate reality, doesn't it?

Jeez what a loser.

Conservative bloogers quote Wikipedia here on Wizbang all the time -- funny how Wikipedia is only unreliable when it stings...

Do you prefer the Washington Post?

But administration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the prime minister was coached and aided by the U.S. government, its allies and friends of the administration. Among them was Dan Senor, former spokesman for the CPA who has more recently represented the Bush campaign in media appearances. Senor, who has denied writing the speech, sent Allawi recommended phrases. He also helped Allawi rehearse in New York last week, officials said. Senor declined to comment.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and British Foreign Service officials also helped Allawi with the text and delivery of his remarks, said administration officials who were involved. The State Department and officials elsewhere in the government took the lead in booking Allawi's interviews. Administration officials said that the Iraqi Embassy in Washington consists of just a few officials and has only a dial-up Internet connection, so was incapable of preparing for the high-profile tour.

Oh, I forgot -- the Washington Post is run by terrorists, right?

Gee, the conservofascism movement has it all planned out - you can rewrite history by just discounting any historical accounts that don't support the official, state-sponsored "view".

There is quite a difference between an out right denial and sending suggested phrases and what you initially posted from Wikipedia which accuses the man of writing the actual speech.

Are you really that slow/stupid/moronic?

Opps, sorry, challenged?

That was too easy . . .

Oh, and as far as your comment about the bloggers here on Wizbang using Wikipedia as a source, please provide links to said postings. I would be interested in seeing them.

The original postings, and not the comments. You are accussing the bloggers here of using Wikipedia as a single source and for the most part when I see a posting from a blogger here, one that contains some juicy tidbit, they can usually back it up with multiple sources.

Or is this another one of your unsubstantiated claims?

Please continue with your alternate reality.

Lee, your last post, what does that have to do with the Nazi talk? Really, getting off-topic to support your choice of party is getting really blatant lately. I amazed everytime I see you post because I'm surprised you are still allowed to post here. Must be a Haliburton employee pulling our strings and keeping us mad.

Now that I've gone off-topic, I aplogize and people should be more careful of the Hitlerisms they toss around because they always come back to bite you.

Whatever happened to the Left that sat there eating all the shit the Right spoonfed them?

Why don't they still fall for the old "Let's not politicize..." schtick?

One thing you can depend on. Anytime the Left stands up for themselves, the Right will feign horror over it and call them uncivilized.

Since Allawi gave his speech in English I assume he speaks English. It's obviously not his first language and I would expect that he'd want someone who was fluent to write the speech and I would expect that he'd be happy to get "coaching" on the speech that he was going to deliver.

That in no way equates to a charge that he'd give a speech with which he did not agree.

If Kerry had done nothing else, I'd have viewed his characterization of Allawi as a "puppet" as absolute proof that Kerry did not have the capacity for any sort of Statesmanship. The man was trying to get us to vote for him for President and he called a foreign leader and ally of the United States with whom he'd be expected to deal, a puppet. Did he expect to have Allawi replaced if he won? Did he really think that he *could*?

Neither Kerry, nor Lee (shocking as it is), seem to have the barest concept of *promoting* public cofidence or why anyone would want to do that.

Just one more data point proving that Democrats can not be trusted with foreign policy.

Kerry? How did Kerry get into this thread?

"*promoting* public cofidence"

Let's see - they were promoting public confidence in the situation in Iraq back in 2004 - which turned out to be just another set of lies designed to win an election.

How about "solultions" - how about hitting a target for once - border security, social security, Iraq - you name it republican'ts -- just hit a target or two for a change and see what that does for "public confidence" instead of having to fabricate confidence with lies and deception.

You guys are real good at puppet shows - but fail at providing solutions - you just keep moving the targets everytime you miss....

"Why don't you fix Social Security?"

Well, a plan was offered up. Dems decided that rather than, you know, propose solutions to problems they had with it --- they decided to just trash it instead, going with the belief that there is NO Social Security problem outside of us needing to tax people twice as much.

"Why don't you fix the border?"

You seem to forget we deal with a party that calls an English-only law "racist". Yeah, good luck getting anything done on the border.

"Why don't you fix Iraq?"

Well, since the press finds it better to report on all of the good Hezbollah is doing in Lebanon and ignoring that the US MILITARY is doing MORE GOOD in Iraq --- that you are unaware of the improvements is hardly startling.

You guys are real good at puppet shows - but fail at providing solutions - you just keep moving the targets everytime you miss..

The funny part is that you don't realize you're describing the DNC.
