NEWS: Liz Cheney: Glorious Leader Daughter

POLITICS: Liz Cheney: Glorious Leader Daughter

Our media is pretty much a sad, dried up piece of dung. They sat idly by as the Bush Administration lied about intelligence and took us to war. Actually, they kind of gave Bush a wrap-around the while it was going on. They decided not to tell us about the Bush torture program for one whole year after it was uncovered. Their coverage of the current economic crisis has been woeful, to say the least. Those are just the big examples. The media is a shell of its former self and has basically become a national embarrassment. Nothing exemplifies how lame our media has become more than Liz Cheney.

Liz Cheney is the daughter of Dick Cheney. You may have possibly seen her spewing nonsense from her hate hole over the past couple of weeks because she has been invited on news program after news program to espouse torture and criticize President Obama. She is qualified, after all, because she was raised by a monster. And worst of all, she’s usually allowed to be the only guest, so her lying goes unchallenged, because our journalists are cowards and lack knowledge. Being the lone guest is considered a privilege and is reserved only for high officials and newsmakers, which she is not. She is someone’s daughter. The daughter of a man no one will defend. So, naturally, our media allows her to step up and defend dear old dad.

The media does not hold her feet over the fire and go after her father for his obvious war crimes. Instead, they allow her to go on the offensive against Obama and all things Democratic. The Cheney family plan is to attack as a defense. Our media’s complicity in this act is no different that their horrifying coverage leading up to the war. A wrong was committed, justice needs to be served and they are allowing the war criminal’s daughter to attack the president on our airwaves. A new low? It’s pretty pathetic.

The exciting thing about a democracy is that if our government won’t take the appropriate action, our media is supposed to step up and do their job. That then informs the masses and pressure is put upon the government and problems, like war criminals running about, are resolved. In this case, the war criminal’s daughter is the one running the narrative. How awesome is that?



Stick around, Pol Pot’s daughter chimes in after the break!

There’s nothing quite like the daughter of a war criminal accusing the current president of “hand-holding” terrorists and then watching as the “journalist” does not tear her a new asshole. Kudos. I’d like to note here that during Obama’s speech he backed up the use of troops in Afghanistan because terrorists are “determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can,” and re-committed to destroying terror networks. He just didn’t throw down support for anally raping boys. Dear "Journalist" here's a possible follow up question:

Liz, you claim Obama is “hand-holding” terrorists, but while your father was in office, women and children were raped by interrogators. Are you saying Obama should continue with the rape?

Imagine. The. Answer.

And it’s not like this is an isolate incident. The woman has been all over the media. Just check out what she’s been up to since May 12th.

Embarrassing. There is no excuse for having the daughter of Dick Cheney on television. None. She’s worthless and a liar.

Oh, wait. Turns out there is an awesome reason.

She’s a great guest. It’s awesome when a guest can come on and lie about her daddy's involvement in the most important issues facing our country.

well, if you look at the shows on which she has been featured, at least it is apparent that the only people that would have heard her spew forth her bilious phlegm would be morons who will only vote for Jesus and Guns.

Jesus/Gun in 2012!

Seriously, this woman is a joke. I can't wait to see the Daily Show & Colbert Report lead the charge and shoot her out of the water. The sad thing is that I have to wait for these 2 COMEDY shows to do what the media should be capable of doing itself.

Agreed with Weatherpunk. Independent bloggers and fake news shows are doing a much better job than our big news titans. "Legitimate" journalists always get their panties in a huge bunch when they find out that people are actually paying attention to these mediums instead of them. They always say that such people aren't qualified.

Well, maybe their "qualifications" are the problem. Maybe bloggers and the Daily Show haven't learned to be corrupt and self-serving, and don't have to kowtow to a huge corporate master.

Up next? Dick Cheney's house keeper. The Republitards just keep getting worse and worse.

To me this all seems very "quid pro quo". Not too long ago Daddy Dick Uber warmongering conservative archetype was saying he wasn't against gay marriage, now you have his daughter Lynn, out spoken Lesbian, who had a rather cold relationship with her father during his campaign, nustling up to dear old dad after he threw a little conservative support behind her agenda. The media will put anyone on television now-a-days, if they have a whole that spits any type of sound, and I would say that runs the gambit of liberal and conservative. Torture, is torture is torture, and had our foreign policy, and diplomacy been better in most cases, some incidents could have been prevented, and information extracted regardless. For once I feel good about my president taking the right steps to improving the relationships we have with the rest of the world rather than cavaliering our military might in front of any one who has a slight variance of opinion. The hope now is that he follows these words with actions, that is the hard part....

Over half those appearances are on Fox, which has never qualified as either journalism or news.

Its funny how all you moronic liberals praised her when she disagreed with dad but now condemn her character and person with ad hominem childish attacks when she agrees with him! So much for tolerance! We will tolerate only those who agree with us, and even if those who have agreed with us don't we will call them names and act liek spoiled children because they disagree with us! Waaa WAA Waaa Liberals are such babies.

I never praised her, champ. And since I wrote the article, your entire comment is based on a false assumption. Ergo, you are talking nonsense.

Now be a man and apologize.

For once Fear I actually agree with your viewpoint (one of the 7 signs maybe?). Lynn is an idiot and has no place on national, or even crappy local news for that matter.

I also agree the the "news" is just a steaming pile of junk, but sadly it's been that way for a long long long long long long long time. It stopped being "journalism" years ago and became one long string of editorials pawned off as journalism.

Sadly we've also let them become this way, which is why it takes a comedy show like Colbert or Daily to report real news. Now in general I am not agreeing with your politics Fear, but sometimes you do hit the nail on the head, and today was one of those days.

Why do I see this wretched woman running on a presidential platform in the future?

haha, you're using sweeping (and inaccurate) generalizations, and promoting binary acceptance or rejection of public figures based on narrow criteria--and you're calling other people morons. a winner is you, sir. i, for one, plan on continuing to be the sort of 'moron' who judges people according to the entire set of their actions and statements--and i might even dare to praise them when they are praiseworthy, even if i find them repulsive in other arenas! i'm crazy like that.

Dear everyone in this thread,

Liz Cheney (the current neocon mouthpiece and longtime Republican activist) is not the same as Lynne Cheney (Dick's wife) and is definitely not the same as Mary Cheney (the gay one that everyone seems to be mistaking Liz for.)

Carry on.

Thank you.

Of all the many things Dick Cheney is, "married to his own gay torture-nut daughter" isn't one of them.

i totally knew that.

This reminds me of how Darth Cheney was all out willing to use gays as his fatted calf and sacrifice them at the alter of wedge issue politics. Lynn was all cool with it when she was working with her dad--at least cooler with it than she was with not having gays as a political wedge issue.

Also, remember when Cheney and all of the other children of Leo Strauss were all "it's treasonous and traitorous to criticize a sitting
president--especially in a time of war"?! What ever happened to that? Oh how times have changed.

Also, who knew Jon Voight was such a racist asshole? I didn't!

Damn...you're right. Oh well, guess I'll read a little more carefully next time.

And Jon Voight sucks.....

To be fair, though: if he had recently married his own gay torture-nut daughter, I would absolutely get audience tickets to their episode of Springer. Like, in a heartbeat, no question.

It's too bad Jenny Jones isn't still on....or better yet, What Would Oprah Do...I think Springer would probably be the best venue though, maybe just maybe Maury, he gets pretty trashy too....

it'd be like an episode of that Nickelodeon show, except that all the slime splashing around would be lowest-depths-of-humanity-colored, instead of green.

What color, exactly, is lowest-depths-of-humanity-colored? Its Dick Cheney's skin tone, isn't it?
