"I love when conservative bloggers make asses of themselves"

[Pirate Smile]

from AMERICAblog - a listing of all the many republicans who wrongly called the Republican Talking Points Memo a Democratic dirty trip. Haa Haaa

"Below is what the top conservatives (I've expanded it beyond bloggers since so many of those on the right made total asses of themselves) had to say about the now-proven-real Schiavo memo:

Tucker Carlson on Chris Matthews' show:

"Last week a memo surfaced, reportedly written by the Republican members of Congress explaining how to make hay with the Terri Schiavo case, the Talking Points Memo, Ah, I think within a week or two it will become clear that that memo was a forgery, possibly written by Democrats on the hill in an effort to discredit Republicans. Bloggers are saying that now and it sounds like they may be right."

The Washington Times: Story dated yesterday entitled "Was the Schiavo memo a fake?"
Sen. Robert F. Bennett, Utah Republican, said the issue "stinks" of a news fabrication similar to the one that engulfed CBS anchorman Dan Rather during the 2004 presidential campaign, after he reported that President Bush did not fulfill his duties while in the National Guard, citing documents that CBS later admitted could not be authenticated.

"I've never seen it, and nobody ever gave it to me," Mr. Bennett said of the purported Schiavo memo, adding: "As far as I'm concerned, it is an invention of the press."....'

continues with statements by Rush, Malkin, Fred Barnes, American Spectator, Hannity, The Weekly Standard, Accuracy in Media (AIM), Powerline blog, etc.

1. But shoult the big lie, whisper the correction (if any) still works

In 2 months when someone refers to this memo, a whole swath of Right Wingers will still believe the "it was faked" meme.

4. Faked, just like the AWOL documents.......

So if the Republicans did publish this plan of cynical political hypocrisy, why would those AWOL docs be out of the realm of possibilities for these people to manufacture?

I also recall these same Republicans stealing files from the Democratic Judiciary sub-committee. Whatta bunch of classless, clueless criminals.
