Cliff May's Defense of Cheney: Maybe Sy Hersh's Reporting is Wrong
By Heather Tuesday Mar 31, 2009 5:45pmChris Matthews brings on Cliff May and Joe Conason to discuss Sy Hersh's recent allegations that Dick Cheney told the Israelis that President Obama was "pro-Palestinian" and described him as someone who would "never make it in the major leagues" while the incoming administration was trying to broker a cease fire.
The best May can muster to defend Cheney? Well maybe Sy Hersh's reporting is wrong. Cliff May has been an apologist for everything done by any of his fellow neo-cons at every turn. Let's see how long it takes him to do a one eighty on this one if he's proven wrong and take to defending Cheney's actions instead.

all that money, all that treasure.
but such a tiny, tiny man in such a tiny, shrinking box.
is tiny and shrinking? Ew. Images.
In Los Angeles the cosmetic surgeons call 'shrinking box', "vaginal rejuvenation".
you two are cracking me up.

He also speaks on Obama and The Middle East.
Only three people were waterboarded? Yeah, sure.
Cheney's statement, "... those programs were essential to the success we enjoyed" ... well, ain't that the truth.
and maybe, more likely it's correct. What then, Cliff May?
I would really, really like to see the puppet master head to prison.
When you bombard people with opinion, particularly that which is littered with falsehoods, you obscure the truth and erode the legitimacy of REAL REPORTING.
Fox "News" has been the main culprit, but calling yourself "news" when you're spouting unfounded opinions can only lead to this: The blurring of what is real and what is not.
Certainly, investigative journalists can get it wrong sometimes. But when they get it right, it should be revealing, illuminating. Instead, these days investigative journalism appears to be just another opinion.
Sad days.

At 9:29, Cliff "Dick's Shill" May says: '...and we've beaten Al Qaeda in Iraq and that's a good thing.'
Al Qaeda were never in Iraq until the US invaded on false pretenses and overthrew Saddam Hussein.
This guy May is a media whore for BushCo.
weird that he isnt called out on it eh? Such obvious lies, and nothing.....
Cliff May saiod only 3 fuckers were waterboarded. I wonder if he can give a list. I wonder if Abu Zubaydah was one of the fuckers on his list.
...for all his faults, W has had the good grace to keep his yap shut about the Obama administration.
his partner in crime.
or he is listening to his lawyers and observing his right to remain silent.
Cheney needs to be the first of Bush's administration to go to jail, plain and simple.
At least we don't have to hear dubya speak anymore. After eight years of having to listen to his neverending nonsensical gibberish, I feel soothed and refreshed.
he's freakin' hiding.
This is the way they work isn’t it? The prez keeps his hands clean while his VP goes on the attack?
Well, his VP and Every. Single. One. of their operatives that is …
Good grace?? Pfft … whatever could jeedubya add to this conversation? What could he possibly say that would help the cause of the RepubliCons?
This silence isn’t grace … its calculation. Liberals and progressives should in no way feel that he is honorable for his silence.
There’s an old saying that goes “Better to be thought of as a fool and to say nothing then to open ones mouth and … uhh … uh … y’aint gon’ get fooled again … heh heh
He's probably on a bender and hasn't sobered up.
the wingnuts yapping about Obama and trying thier best to demonize the UN.At least the talk sounds good http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/...
Bush and madman Cheney are out , the Republicans were completely rejected and is a scattered bunch of nut jobs and crooks that can't agree on anything , why are these neocon lunatics still invited on these shows as if they are relevant , sane or rational human beings ? What's really maddening is the gutless show hosts let em go and do not call them on their nonsense and bullshit . The MSM in this country is just a joke anymore , Fox isn't alone . The importance of things like honor , integrity , being responsible , being a professional and honoring their profession ... is a thing of past generations now , these cowards and whores in the MSM today are a disgrace .
Cliff May is Dead Wrong...and has been wrong for the last eight years and more. He is a Bush/Cheney apologist. How can someone defend a liar, War Criminal and Profiteer? Cheney lied this country into an illegal war in Iraq, which Cliff May helped cheerlead. Cheney for the past twenty-five years has put himself and his extremist right-wing agenda ahead of this country. He is a traitor and has cause severe damage to America’s creditability around the world. Not to mention the outing of Valerie Plame.
"It seems like former Vice President Dick Cheney makes news every few weeks -- actually, we like it -- usually, by criticizing the Obama administration."
That pretty much sums up cable television news.

Don't ya'll just lurv it when the Israeli government tells us what to do OR ELSE?
I know I don't.
Let Israel attack Iran on their own. Bout time the Neo Zionist Cons were bitchslapped into place anyways.
Sometimes i think Cheney is just an embittered old asshole. Other times i just think hes an asshole.
What gave you the first clue???!!! Anyway...totally ticked me off that Tweety wouldn't let Conason speak more than a few words, and, as usual, gave the majority of the time to stupid.
Just like Kristol, I hate watching those smirking idiots - am so sick of them...and people like Tweety who give them a platform.
Cliff May, you're a huge muff. Not saying the Clinton Admin had no flaws but there's a world of difference between what Bush inherited from Clinton and what Obama inherited from Bush. I would argue there was no imminent crisis inherited with Bush so that's why the Republicants had to make shit up...like stem cell research and gay marriages.
Dead-Eye, Dick-Head, can whine, cry and wet his pants but, it won't change the fact that he's gone from office forever and nobody cares what the hell lies he has to say. He just pulls the Reslug party even deeper into the sewer.
In the first place, Americans are damn sick and tired of EVERYTHING Cheney had to say while he was in office. Were it not for the right wingers in the press inviting him to be interviewed, we could be spared his bullshit neocon fascist attitude now, and my suggestion is for the news media to stop giving these washed out bastards a forum to poison our brains further. This includes Cheney, Tom Delay, and Newt Gingrich .... we don't want to hear another damned word out of any of them, and serious, thinking, patriotic Americans view them as the worst that politics has to offer. From now on, any commentator who brings any of these people on their program will be permanently boycotted by ME.
And just for the record, al queada was not in IRAQ until we attacked them without provocation, so Cheney and Bush get no accolades or credit for defeating them there now. The minute the US is out of there, the country of IRAQ will explode like a tinderbox, that is my prediction, I hope I am wrong!
All I have to say to Cheney is eat shit and die, glad you are gone, now stay gone asshole, and shut your damn pie hole ... go count your money.
Cheney should be in prison. As you will notice the guy uses the BUZZWORD "conspiracy theorist" that is the word the MSM uses to turn people off to reality. Like trained dogs people don't believe people the MSM says who are conspiracy theorists. Its a hypnotic power.
