thinkprogress.org — (with VIDEO) -- The Office of the Vice President has asserted that Dick Cheney “is not an entity within the Executive Branch.” That’s quite opposite the argument Cheney made in 2001, when he said that a congressional probe into the workings of his energy task force “would unconstitutionally interfere with the functioning of the executive branch.”

I say more Cheney stories. I say more 'any story that spotlights the foul stench from above', and for as long as needed.

If I understand you correctly, you judge the newsworthiness of information based on who or what source presents that information and not on the merits of the information itself. I think that the majority of us here know that if you trust any single news source to present the whole truth about what is happening in the world today you are in essence surrendering your personal liberties and allowing some editor or television executive to decide what you believe. However, to discount all information presented by any single source simply because all information presented by that source is of one particular political slant is in fact a greater surrender of personal liberties because you are allowing a political ideology determine what you believe to be true. I can not think of a more corrosive and abusive ideological institution on which to base your understanding of the world than politics.Now if you are already aware that you are too incompetent to judge for yourself the merits of a particular piece of information, I understand why you prejudge information based on its source. However, if you are capable of independent thought and able to construct an argument you could challenge the validity of the actual content presented by any new source. And I for one wish you would do that because we would all benefit from your unique addition to our knowledge pool. Unfortunately, as it stands, you are simply asking us to prejudge information in the same manner as you do and this amounts to a degradation of the level of debate in this community.If you are unable to construct an independent argument, stop clogging up the interwebtubes with your noise and go back to watching TV where you can easily insulate yourself from unwanted sources of information because your commentary here is making us all dumber.

You've proven my point. You have no evidence that would be admissible in court, therefore he cannot be convicted of a crime. And you won't even listen to Cheney's side of the story, again proving my point. You people are hopeless."After all Cheney and GWB have never been caught as outright liars"You are being sarcastic but technically you are correct insofaras revelant even-remotely-recent things go. The only outright "lies" you can find actually go toward things conservatives are upset about. The ones the Left harps on are proven to NOT be lies. Do you know what a lie even is? Look it up.

Blah blah blah, stolen election cuz I said so, blah. There's zero proof of it, and you know it. Or you don't know it because you're delusional. Either way, you're wrong, and I don't say that "because I say so," I say it after reading report after report from every credible source on the subject, including Leftist groups that still have a modicum of intelligence and a slight sense of honesty.

I think I've figured out why I can't get through to you guys. You think hating other people is okay. No wonder me telling you to stop being hate-mongers gets me dugg down. I don't hate Bush. I don't hate Clinton. I don't hate Gore. I am very strongly opposed to some of the policies of all of the above. I don't allow hatred to blind me, though. Many of you guys do and you're proud of it. Very sad indeed.

No smoking gun is right. Not only do those documents not prove anything sinister was going on, they don't prove much of anything except that we're intelligent enough to figure out where the energy supplies of foreign nations that are hostile to us are located.

In glynth's mind, "preconceived notions" are any facts or truths that do not coincide with his or Fox News's preconceived notions, or more directly, anything that doesn't directly support his political party's story line. He isn't even a patriotic person, he's just a party loyalist. I doubt he understands the difference, in fact I bet he believes his party loyalty makes him the biggest patriot.He probably doesn't understand that nationalism is a bad thing, he will problably never see the direct correlation between nationalism and nazism.he's a guy that never gets to go out, he works all day and then sits in front of Fox News all night. We might want to have pity on him, except that he and all his middle american trailer trash are going to ruin our nation.
