Bill Kristol: Bush Should Pardon Libby, Who Didn't Lie; Armitage To Blame
for Plamegate leak.

This looks like the latest trial balloon the wingnuts are floating and the prescient ones at DU, as usual, were right.

This was on Faux News this morning. Thank you, Juan Williams, for standing up for truth! He was great at rebutting the LIES told on this BushCo-sponsored show.

1. Libby obstructed justice, though, did he not?
and, is Bill Kristol privy to all the workings of the grand jury that he would know Libby did not lie?

2. Libby is indicted on obstruction of justice
not for outing Plame. He lied his ass off to protect Cheney and probably Bush. That's a crime. But Kristol and the rest of the RW just want to confuse the issue to get away with another felony.

4. That's precisely how they justified the Clinton crucification.

6. It's about perjury, obstruction of justice and the rule of law.
Now where do we remember hearing that.

5. It's obvious that he will
I don't think he'll ever go to trial.

7. William Kristol should be indicted for treason against America

...or at least put away where he can't do any more harm:

<snip>
Bill Kristol is a Maniac 7/16/2006

Bill Kristol has never seen a war he didn't like. No, that's too soft. A war he didn't love and lust after. Here's a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be serious, sober minded analyst on television when in reality he is trying to get us sucked into horrific wars that other people will die fighting.

Will he ever put on a uniform and fight any of the wars he so desperately wants to start? Hell no.

Will anyone in his family or friends? Hell no.

They love to start wars, not fight them. That's for the poor schmucks who don't know any better and sign up to run the fool's errands Kristol wants to send them on. On Thursday, we had Ben Barnes, the former Lt. Governor of Texas on our show talking about how he got all the rich kids of Texas out of the Vietnam War, including George W. Bush. There was something about hearing him say it that struck me. It isn't just theoretical; they really do get their kids out of war while they send poor kids to get ground up by the war machine. There is something infinitely sick about that.

And here's Kristol now on Fox News channel today talking about how we need more war, a wider war, a bigger war. He says it's "a great opportunity." You could almost see him drooling. Watch this clip:

8. Kristol is a deranged and dangerous man ...
He would simply be deranged if he did not have a powerful "following" or was unable to convince mental deficients in power to take his path.

9. And so it begins. Kristol has been charged by KKKarl to start
soften up the masses to the idea that Libby will be pardoned. Today a gentle suggestion, tomorrow it will be a push and then it will be a drum beat from every quarter of Repugland to pardon Libby. The neocons do their best with with pardoned felons and they only have two years left to totally trash the country. Libby will be back in the White House by year's end.

17. Actually, such a pardon might prove to be the final nail in the
....coffin of republicans up for election in November. There will be voter backlash, so I say have at it.

10. I agree---he was an original PNAC-er & his "vision" is proving so bad he's
defending himself by lying about EVERYTHING. But that is the BushCo way

12. All of PNAC should be tried for terroristic threats
Threatening that many countries in the Middle East should be terrorist writing and they should be put away for life. They have endangered the US and have destabilized the whole world.

15. Mr. Kristol
and Fox News are pimping for Newt Gingrich's presidential run. Two days ago, one of the morning morons noted Newt is no longer a dark horse, but is running a strong third among republicans.

Kristol has, of course, called for a Libby pardon for some time. The last pardon campaign was in May. He is increasing the call now, because he is aware the pre-trial and trial will damage VP Cheney and Newt.

16. These guys have closets full of double-standards.
Whenever they're trapped by te truth, they drag out another set. Now, the same guy who wanted Clinton removed for misleading the public about a private blowjob, thinks that lying to a Grand Jury about "some" things isn't really lying.

Wy is it only 'not lying' when the liar is a wingnut?
