- madpainter, on 12/29/2008, -19/+730Mr. Cheney, let me help your understand this.
You were the primary architect of a war against a sovereign country based on deliberately fabricated intelligence.
You then lied to the electorate who entrusted you with the second highest office about the threat this country posed to the United States.
You failed to complete the military actions started in Afghanastan.
Your administration has created massive debt based on these two wars for which future Americans will be paying for many years.
Your personal assistant was involved in a political revenge act that resulted in the disclosure of a United States secret intelligence agent.
Your administration failed to act decisively or correctly when a major American city was destroyed.
Your administration has destroyed the American reputation as a government and country where justice and fairness reigns.
You have admitted to authorizing torture, a principal that is completely opposite all American values throughout our history.
Your administration has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and destroyed an entire country and its civilization.
Your administration has created a legislative environment where the climate of the world is at jeopardy.
Your administration ( a republican one at that) authorized the effective nationalization of the banking system, effectively dealing a death blow to capitalism.
Your administration failed to act decisively, when warned, in stemming the damage in the sub prime mortgage market which has subsequently led to the largest economic failure in the last 75 years, and even more likely the largest economic disaster in human history.
I am not going to pass comment on whether some of these actions were illegal. History or subsequent investigations should provide that answer.
History will not judge the Bush/Cheney years in any favorable light. It's true there has not been another terrorist attack on the US mainland since 9/11, but the price we have paid in personal liberty and sacrifices to the Constitution will be balanced against that victory, and again I think history will not be a favorable judge.
I honestly do not understand how you or anyone in the Bush administration can seriously think history will judge you in any other light than as a complete and total failure of stupendous magnitude.
If by chance Mr. Cheney you happen to read this, or someone brings it to your attention, however likely that event, I would be happy to meet with you and discuss this in greater depth. - crushfan, on 12/29/2008, -19/+580You're a dick, that's why.
- Walcherina, on 12/29/2008, -19/+324Because you shoot people in the head.
- inactive, on 12/29/2008, -2/+236and thats just the stuff we know about!
- Jazzzzz, on 12/29/2008, -12/+192Maybe it has something to do with his attitude about the people he serves.
- Shaggy3, on 12/28/2008, -21/+197Oh really? Heres a newspaper, Cheney. Go read a couple pages and you'll learn a LOT.
- RogerStrong, on 12/29/2008, -1/+165Aw, c'mon. The guy apologized for being shot in the face by Cheney.
(Seriously. He did.) - joemofo214, on 12/29/2008, -10/+150I mean, all I really did was tortured alot of innocent people, and help start a war that I could profit from.
- inactive, on 12/29/2008, -4/+126Bravo...!
you wrote a comment bigger than that article ! - Jauladeoro, on 12/29/2008, -4/+104Did anyone else read this in Keith Olbermann's voice?
- gottadiggit, on 12/29/2008, -7/+103Put him on trial! I think he would give him a clue.
- timedalkat, on 12/29/2008, -4/+94What he wanted to say was "I don't care."
- neognostic, on 12/29/2008, -3/+84Well played sir!
- kpaphysicist, on 12/29/2008, -9/+89Just ask Google
http://www.google.com/search?q=why+people+hate+dic ... - BullHunter, on 12/29/2008, -11/+90But he cares what the banks think?
- normlsparky, on 12/29/2008, -2/+76That's a good start anyways.
- STBAT25, on 12/29/2008, -9/+72I know why he doesn't understand, because he has no conscience and is a narcissistic *****.
- Kalahan6, on 12/29/2008, -4/+67People are going to hate me for saying this but i believe the aftermath of 9/11 couldn't be seen any other way than a total victory for Al-Qaeda.
The real losses weren't the 3.000 death or the destruction of 4 symbolic buildings. The real loss was the fear that America made to panic. Panic that lead to the sacrificing of American liberties. America forgot who they where and they gave it all up just so they could feel safe again. And above all: wars where fought that only lead to more hate towards the US an no security whatsoever.
Maybe this is my fault but I don't care about your individual feelings about the Patriot Act or the war in Iraq. I'm not American. The only thing I care for is how the US acts as a nation. And frankly, I can't help but feel disappointed in the conclusion of it all.
But f*ck me, nobody cares what I think! - normlsparky, on 12/29/2008, -3/+62FTA:
He said recently, “I’m personally persuaded that this president and this administration will look very good 20 or 30 years down the road in light of what we’ve been able to accomplish.”
Umm, I think it's going to take longer than 20 or 30 years for people to forget all of the bad things you've done. What accomplishments are he hoping people will remember? I can't think of many right now. - reuscel, on 12/29/2008, -7/+55Go ***** yourself, Mr. Cheney.
- bongfarmer, on 12/29/2008, -4/+50"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
Everyone thinks they have good intentions. No one wakes up and thinks "today I'm going to try my very hardest to achieve my goals, of spreading misery and make the planet worse to live on than if I just stayed in bed"
General and absolute lack of respect for the common people = able to rationalize any disenfranchisement - zardoz73, on 12/29/2008, -4/+46That statement proves him either a liar or a moron. And he's not a moron.
- kyoobeh, on 12/29/2008, -5/+46that makes no sense.
- sophiaperennis, on 12/29/2008, -12/+53He just has to keep repeating his first name.
- ModernDayDarwin, on 12/29/2008, -3/+36not, but after reading it again in his voice...epic.
- MrHateMan, on 12/29/2008, -3/+36"Digging me down won't make me wrong"
No it wont... The content of your comment has already taken care of that. - KennMac, on 12/29/2008, -1/+33How is that most likely inaccurate? Are you suggesting that we most likely had a good reason to be in Iraq? Are you suggesting that Colin Powell's address to the UN was based on sound intelligence?
You're most likely a little out of touch. - inactive, on 12/29/2008, -3/+35I don't care if people don't like him. I'd like to personally thank him for dismantling the Republican party and the previous, ever present Neocon agenda. Without Cheney and Bush that hyper-religious ***** might have gone on forever. Well done guys. I think you ***** it up enough that the Republican party as we've known it may disappear forever....I hope.
- CrazedLeper, on 12/29/2008, -0/+31And if that's how you treat your *friends*...
- netneutrality, on 12/29/2008, -0/+30Jimmy Spaza rarely does. He doesn't care though.
- RogerStrong, on 12/29/2008, -2/+32Yes, but usually there's a penalty for shooting other hunters - as opposed to having the person you shot apologize on national TV for his face getting in the way of your shotgun blast.
- shaka999, on 12/29/2008, -4/+34Get real, he knows why people don't like him. He is an ass, he isn't stupid.
Giving an answer like that throws off the questioner and most likely diverts the conversation. Its a classic tactic and is often used. Playing dumb doesn't mean your dumb. - betheturtle, on 12/29/2008, -0/+29You don't know Dick.
- res181hh33, on 12/29/2008, -1/+29Cheney: [pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
- algaeturd, on 12/29/2008, -5/+32Well said. Thanks for putting it together. It really freaks me out that it took 9 replies to get an intelligent one that made a real case. Bravo.
ps: The fact that ANYONE is digging this comment down is PROOF POSITIVE that America is destined for ultimate potential failure. As a country, we're too ***** dumb to learn our lessons. We elected this man not once but TWICE and now, some people are still defending his evil ass.
There is very, very little hope for some Americans at all. Such a disgrace. Such a goddamn disgrace. - drmangrum, on 12/29/2008, -1/+27You're an idiot.
Would you tolerate the police violating your rights in the name of justice or would expect them to respect your rights? The same thing applies to us as the "world police." We can fight the perceived wrongs of the world all we want, but when our leadership compromises our morals and ethics to do so, then we've lost our high ground.
Keep in mind, we burdened the title of "world police" all on our own. Nobody told us to do it. Nobody expected us to it. We did it to ourselves after WW2. - sheasie, on 12/29/2008, -5/+31hahaha what a *****. he totally knows why people hate him.
- NightEmber79, on 12/29/2008, -4/+29*****... thought this was Onion when I saw the header....
- captnkurt, on 12/29/2008, -0/+25I dunno. I'll check on it tomorrow.
- sbernhardt, on 12/29/2008, -4/+28I really think Cheney has no idea how unpopular he is. Remember when he had a news conference a few days before the election and endorsed McCain? The look on Obama's face was priceless, it was like "WTF, these guys are helping me win."
- inactive, on 12/29/2008, -8/+30OK, so he's a totally CLUELESS war criminal.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 12/29/2008, -2/+24Here's the important question though Jimmy... did you vote for him and Bush in 2004? If so, have you had a little heart-to-heart conversation with yourself acknowledging your collosal failure at the polls? If not then... WTF?
- bg2500, on 12/29/2008, -3/+24He knows. He just doesn't care.
- crushfan, on 12/29/2008, -1/+22Are you Dick or a dick? Hm? I think there's a thin difference.
- morcheeba, on 12/29/2008, -0/+20Selectively picking intelligence is fabrication. All stories are told by picking elements of the our world and rearranging them in new and creative ways; this is no different.
- glinsvad, on 12/29/2008, -0/+20where does the road paved with procrastination lead?
- EricSchC1, on 12/29/2008, -0/+19And after 8 years of a government with no substance, you're worried about some comments on Digg that sound "less than intellectual." Our apologies that the humor we use to deal with this nonsense didn't read more like a political science paper.
- untreadatom, on 12/29/2008, -2/+21Don't agree to discuss it further over a hunting trip mmkay?
- kokoshka, on 12/29/2008, -2/+21double digg
- WiretapStudios, on 12/29/2008, -2/+20make sure it's not a US paper, since they largely ignored most of his transgressions.
