Karl Rove and other Republican officials invited a Nazi to talk about strategy? What the hell.

    god bless you and your yellow journalism Ollie! People, I can’t even begin to Fisk the entire thing, except to say that the author himself questions the credibility of his own story!

    More to the point, I thought you leftists were against “guilt by association”.

  2. cellulose says:

    It’s not “guilt by association.” It’s just straight-up “association” if true.

    It is what it is.

  3. drpedro says:

    hehehe….just like I always say…you write things so you can straddle either side of the story when someone raises the Bullsh*t flag….

    You are going to be a fine propagandist some day young man, a force to be reckoned with…..!

  4. Hey pedro, you see those question mark things? Do you know what they mean? Do you understand what I’m saying? Huh?

  5. SaveFarris says:

    Is Oliver a hack? Does he take things out of context and twist them to fit his bitter worldview? Is he the most rank of hypocrites? Can anything you allege be excused away by a question mark?

    I’m just asking.

  6. Frank_D says:

    Is this one of those “A Republican was riding on a crosstown bus headed towards the airport, where a Nazi was looking up at a plane taking off at the same time, proving they were in cahoots” stories?

    Which McCarthy are you imitating, Oliver? “Tail Gunner Joe”, or Charlie?

  7. Marty says:

    Going to be, Pedro?

    The Pravda of old would have a hard time competing with Oliver Willis.

  8. drpedro says:

    Excellent post farris and frank…..I thought about the McCarthy reference, but refrained…

    Heh. Here’s a perfect case where it becomes obvious that O-Dub’s job is watching the frothing right-wing media all day long. He’s picked up some of their tactics. And then when he uses them on you, you guys howl like coyotes.

    It’s called a leading question, innuendo. Remember, hah hah, it’s just “entertainment”!

    And I find it very entertaining indeed. What really is Rove doing meeting with this guy? I’m sure FOX news will be all over the story.

  10. Wilbur says:

    The Rove-Nazi story may not be true, but you’ve got to admit that it’s a lot more plausible than a Howard Dean -Nazi story would be.

    The important point is the one made by the Montana blogger:

     Personally I m not surprised about which party a Nazi feels comfortable in.

    Not all republicans are Nazis, but these days all Nazis are republican.

    (cue some wingnut ancient historian to remind us about southern democrats forty years ago).

  11. goatchowder: My favorite one is Fox’s Carl Cameron’s “questions swirl”. “Questions swirl around allegations that Frank spends every waking hour at OW.com”.

  12. Frank_D says:

    Does Oliver spend every waking hour thinking about flogging Bush?

  13. SaveFarris says:

    Oliver, Cameron learned it from the NYT: “Critics allege…”

  14. duros62 says:

    “Does the President kill kittens with hammers? Does Angelina Jolie practice satanic rituals with her adopted children?”

    Doesn’t matter if it’s true. The question itself implies it. Fox is great at that.

  15. drpedro says:

    duros read ollies response to me at the top of the thread, he admits he is doing the same thing…

    You guys can’t even keep track of your hypocrisy…

  16. drpedro says:

    so is Ollie!

  17. duros62 says:

    Did I say he didn’t, Frank?
    No, i didn’t think so.
    Maybe he learned it from Sean Hannity.

  18. duros62 says:

    Did I say he didn t, Frank?
    No, i didn t think so.

    Oh, jeez, my bad! I’m sorry, Frank. I thought that was you! I meant, DR. Pedro.
