My priorities must be fucked up

[walldude]

I seriously thought the nuke documents story would dominate DU today. Instead.. 1000 threads on Haggard :eyes:

[Phredicles]

1. Fundie sex scandals are more fun than nuclear proliferation.

Just saying...

[Renew Deal]

21. America loves a good sex scandle

:dilemma:

[H2O Man]

2. It is curious.

I think the nuke documents issue, and even the Libby pre-trial motions & rulings, would be of great interest as we approach the Tuesday elections.

[BR_Parkway]

12. They are to me, but the public at large will resonate more on the

sex scandal - especially with the total hypocrisy of Rev Super Fundie being the one caught with his pants down.

Hopefully, someone who might have considered voting ReThug on Tuesday will find something in the news enough to make them stay home or vote for a change - be it rentboys, nuke docs or more Libby filings

[karlrschneider]

3. Well, if the documents were payment for sex the story would get some

attention...
:eyes:

[tcfrogs]

4. Kind of like every other thread had Kerry in the title the other day

When there are far more pressing issues than a botched joke.

[walldude]

5. Yeah I complained about that too

I thought the "Baghdad Under Siege" story was a little more important than Kerry. Shows what I know...

[ecstatic]

6. That's because the RW couldn't care less about national security

We have been forced to stoop to their level and focus on what actually motivates RW loonies to (or not to) vote.

[lcordero2]

7. sorry dude

These "documents" have about as much credibility as the Nigerian Yellow Cake papers...NONE whatsoever.

[walldude]

8. Excuse me?

A 12 page document on how to build an atomic bomb posted by the administration on the internet, after warned against it by the head of the NIE, only to be over ridden by Bush himself. Yeah it's all fake :eyes:

on edit: Oh wait, the yellow cake docs... you were being sarcastic weren't you..

[lcordero2]

17. I'm not questioning that it's a howto

I'm questioning the supposed origin of the document.

[walldude]

18. The origin? So it doesn't matter that they posted a how to

it matters where the doc came from? Not sure what you are getting at here.

[lcordero2]

22. It matters that it was posted

It matters where these documents came from because they are being used as "justification".

[LSK]

20. the IAEA questioned the website last week

Doesnt get more credible than that.

[walldude]

23. Exactly the docs are real.. what difference does it make

whether they were Iraqi plans or US plans or A.Q. Kahn's firesale?

[butterfly77]

9. I thought so too...

They are more interested in sex than their lives. If this was a dem it would be talked about for days, they still continue to talk about Kerry which was a non story.

[walldude]

10. If it was a Dem they'd be hangin him/her on the WH lawn

for treason.

[brentspeak]

15. We'd never hear the end of it.

Brit Hume would be interupting the Simpson's every five minutes with that story.

[butterfly77]

31. Somehow these talking heads still manage...

to throw in the Kerry remark no matter what comes up...

[bowens43]

11. Go to go with what the average Joe wants hear.

Nukes? Who cares? Drugs and prostitution, now that's entertainment.

[otherlander]

29. No... The "average Joe" wants to hear

that he can actually afford healthcare.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

13. The Bush administration fucking up...

...is no longer news. It'll be news when they don't fuck something up. Man bites dog, and all that.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Sex scandals always win out over death and destruction....

didn't you know? :shrug:

[SoCalDem]

16. Gotta go with what "works"

WE know the nuke story is more IMPORTANT, but we've got a pivotal election coming in a few days, and the "flock" will be more burned up by the sex stuff than a few nukes rolling around in the trunk..

If they get disgusted and stay home it's okay with me :)

[LSK]

19. yeah I know but both stories do damage

So Im just going with the Haggard stuff I guess.

[walldude]

24. Have to disagree

Haggard is gossip. Whatever he did or however hypocritical he is, it doesn't hold a candle to the compromise of national security.

[LSK]

25. I started some Nuke threads this morning that went nowhere

Sometimes you just cant fight the masses.

[laundry_queen]

26. C'mon, we're talking about people who are more concerned

with gay marriage than the dismantling of the constitution or hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. And you think the whole Haggard thing won't have MORE of an impact than those documents? The whack jobs already think those documents are proof that Iraq was on the verge of nuking the U.S. and they think it's even MORE justification for invading. THAT is a non-story imo, because it's already been spun. THIS however, is non-spinnable (I know, not a word). More damage will result from a sex scandal, unfortunately. It's not right, that's for sure, but it just IS.

[walldude]

27. Well I'm taking my fucked up priorities and my ball

and going home. I'll be back on tonight to see 1000 new Haggard threads..

[Generator]

28. Sex sells baby!

OR as I often find myself thinking, maybe I should investigate France.

[tammywammy]

30. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the Haggard threads

I wish you could do a search by keyword and then hide all threads applying to it, instead of doing them one by one.

:shrug:

[BigBearJohn]

32. I agree 100%!!!! Kicked and Recommended!!!

[Hissyspit]

33. Top story on the Greatest Page is Nuke Documents story - 155 Recommendations!

I haven't clicked on any of the Haggard threads.

[readmoreoften]

34. Agreed. /nt

[Jamastiene]
