Liz Cheney Suggests Obama Honored Fallen Soldiers For The Publicity

Seems to have missed her history classes. Never heard of honoring fallen heroes in public. Missed the Gettysburg Address.

(..... and we all know that Cheney and company tried to obliterate the deaths of American Soldiers from the news so they could continue to get more killed.)

I hate publicity! Government should keep what it does to itself.

The Cheneys are predictably anatomically incapable of keeping their mouths shut whenever their shameful (or is it shameless) legacy is threatened. They would certainly rather not have the President honor these deaths in public because it undermines their pro-war interests (monetary and ideological) and highlights their record of aloofness toward fallen troops.

She is working hard on keeping those 28%ers happy.

Why do you place this woman on the front page ?

Why is what she says of interest to anyone?

Are we supposed to respect what she says because her father was such a decent man?

Sort of the acorn falling close to the tree stuff?

How about instead of trying to annoy regular readers you place some top progressives front and center??

How about Chomsky or Howard Zinn for starters with a big headline and their point of view on the day??

I really don't expect much from commercial sites but can't you try to be relevant??

Lynn Cheney was surprised because those soldiers were fighting for democracy - something she or her Dad no nothing about. They don't work for you Lynn, they work for us.
AND PS....they don't work for Exxon either or you asshole Saudi friends that funded and supplied the terrorists for 9/11

Of course, if the cameras weren't there, Cheney would have accused him of doing something horrible in secret. She is a sick MF and karma will get pig-face one day.

Remember how classy Cheney looked when he went to the memorial service at Auschwitz. Everyone else was in dark wool coats and he was dressed in a green nylon hunting jacket and lace up boots with an ear flap cap. He was a national embarrassment. I think he was pissed about being forced to go and was making some sort of statement or throwing a temper tantrum but it was really bizarre behavior from a grown man, VP.

Here's an article and photo

Liz Cheney and Orly Taitz have a lot in common.

Both are insane, and we shouldn't give a shit what either of them say.

Liz:

STFU

To give her the benefit of the doubt I assume she is referring to W's meetings with family members not that W went to Dover.

Still outrageous, but not unexpected, comments on her part.

I guess Bush had "other priorities".

I love Josh's question about whether anyone is going to ask her about it.

Of course no one will.

No one on Fox, and no one on the "sister networks". Words from a Cheney are unquestioned because they're the adults.

Her draft-dodging father and the service-avoiding president to whom she refers spent 8 years dishonoring those who wear our country's uniforms.

It's good to see that she's as accomplished a liar as her father.

I haven't been a republican since 2000. There are some republicans I actually admire, Colin Powell (in some respects), Richard Lugar, Chuck Hagel. However, there are individuals who remind me why I left the republican party, and Liz Cheney is one of them. She's working with Karl Rove.

That's the only person I would know who takes ANY SITUATION and turns it into a political one. It doesn't surprise me that she lies this openly but to use a situation in which the commander in chief is saluting troops and what she doesn't say is that while the one time that Obama took the casket was in front of the camera, he did this SEVENTEEN MORE TIMES off camera, attacking this is not only below the bar but just outrageous.

Oh, come on. George W. Bush gave up playing golf to honor the troops. Eventually, anyway. For a little while, at least. Wasn't that enough of a sacrifice?

Now the poor man has to pick up his own dog's poop. Hasn't he suffered enough?

I would call her a bitch, but can't be so hurtful even to the bitches.

I knew after we heard from Dick dad, the other shoe was going to drop, you know, the one with sh*t on it. Again rewriting history, she intimates, without proof, that bGeorge Bush also did "it" whatever that means. I guess that, just like all the neocons, when truth becomes incontrovertible, she can deny ever saying that George Bush (and Dick, her dad) never received the boys, fathers, mothers, daughters, husbands, sons,and wives that the threw into the grinder for oil and Haliburton (enriching themselves and selected friends in the process. They NEVER DID "IT" because THEY NEVER GAVE A SHIT! And for the rest of us OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND!
Now they're embarassed because, NOW IT IS UNDENIABLE. BUSH AND CHENEY DIDN'T CARE.
Now they send out their poodle to ridicule (tho only thing they ever did well).

To re-quote the VP: "Who cares what Cheney thinks?"

First Leib and now Liz, I guess TPM is encouraging all of us to hit the Weekend happy hour a little early.

The Cheney family.... where there's never a need to say you're sorry.

No, they leave us to the sorriness of their lies!

On the subject of her talking about Obama showing up with the press pool and asking if they can take pictures: As I understand it, the family did not know the President would attend when they granted permission to take pictures of the soldier's casket. So the family was not pressured by talk of the President and the press pool.

Shrub gave up the game of golf... for a little while... to honor our troops. Demanding anything beyond that is simply Bush Derangement Syndrome getting the more better of ya, you frenchfry-eating surrenderists!

Bush is a tool! He asked men and women to step into the breach and in 6-years couldn't find enough time to just once show up to their welcome home party?

As a Navy wife of an active duty service men I want Liz to get off her fat buns and go fight in the wars that her daddy started. She is too chicken to put herself in harms way, but she can spew lies about her daddy's wars that have killed nearly five thousand of our service men and women. I wish one of the reporters who interviews her would ask her why she is not serving her country. The same question could be ask of her war mongering daddy.

POTUS did not drag cameras there. If I understand it correctly 7 of the 18 families agreed to have the cameras there long before anyone was aware POTUS was going to attend and it probably would have been more if they knew he was to be there. It's another sick and disturbing attempt by a Cheney to twist and make ugly something that was a very moving event and I'm sure the families involved felt was an enormous honor. POTUS was there REGARDLESS of the cameras or press!

Congressman said: "Obama has something to hide.." : http://www.70news.com/2009/10/04/breaking-news-congressman-obama-has-something-to-hide/

This sad production from the cookie cutter can rationalize any bankrupt behavior of her father's. Cheney/Bush wanted us all to go shopping in the face of the bloody business they stirred up with smoke and mirrors and manure. Ms. Cheney's progenitor wanted us to pretend war was not to be seen or heard.
Obama wants us to recognize that these are our children in those boxes and I salute him for his sensibility here. We need to be constantly mindful of that.
Liz wants us to return to mindless distraction and pay-no- attention-to-the-corpses-behind-the-curtain thinking. What an enlightened individual she is.

This deserves a rebuttal from Sasha Obama.

Lincoln was also classless.

The 'woman' is a beast. She is truly her father's son.

What the hell is with this woman? What Obama did used to be done in this country before Bush banned it. Other countries do it all time.

The name Cheney has been so discredited that it has become a laughingstock. Her latest comment is just shameful.

Not content with the damage her father caused in his dubiously elected role as VP, Liz now wants to undermine a democratically elected President.

I really don't understand people who jump into a controversy in pretty much complete ignorance. Or maybe she knew and lied anyway. She does lie a lot. In her defense, I have heard Ed Schultz say equally untrue things on his MSNBC show. In his case I'm sure of the ignorance, so why couldn't Liz be pretty much as ignorant as Palin and belive everything that she (Liz) says?

The fib doesn't fall far from the lie!

I think its also important to note that the families were asked before it was know that President Obama was going to be there. The fact that he was there had nothing to do with them allowing cameras.

The truth is that those challenging the President's trip for any reason make it "public" fodder. And speaking of fodder who better than the cheney nag? All POTUS did was an honorable act to honor the dead. The entire cheney pack is without honor, without love for the nation and without any direction save 'hard over' crash. My God, they are the worst this nation has ever produced! Led by a man who never served his country yet sent our sons to war gleefully! May the whole bunch of 'em rot eternally in hell.

Liz Cheney = Daddy! That's it!!! They are the same person!! Both are lower than bat crap. Her/their lies and smears are getting real old since they are all FAKE!!
