Liz Cheney Wants To Keep America Safe. And Misinformed.

Rate: 22 Flag

 

 

cheney200Those kooky Cheneys... What will they do next? Perhaps all those chants of "Cheney for President 2012!" were actually referring to Dick's daughter Liz. Liz Cheney, whom Huff Post editor Roy Sakoff called, "a chip off the old block. And I don't meant that as a compliment," is heading a group called Keep America Safe. Cheney heads the group alongside Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol and Debra Burlingame, whose brother was a pilot killed on 9/11. And like so many socially conscious, hard-right activism groups, Keep America Safe and Cheney are letting Americans know that they are in some serious trouble if they don't rethink her father's approach to protecting the nation and seriously question Obama's "radical" foreign policy decisions. 

Here's a little video Liz and her pals threw together in the interest of your political and foreign policy education:

 

Boy, that sure was an education. Who knew Obama spent so much time goofing off and playing games? Maybe I should have voted for that McCain fella after all. Hell, he's too old to play a serious game of golf (tired by the fourth hole). And he'd never waste time trying to talk to children. They always seem to scream and run away whenever he tries. 

Well, despite her criticisms of Obama, it seems Liz is wasting her time talking to children, too. Those of the adult variety. They're the only ones who could use up one solid brain cell actually considering any of this to be based in reality.

Hari Sevugan, the DNC National Press Secretary, responded to Liz Cheney's new message to Americans with:

"Last fall, the American people overwhelmingly rejected a radical foreign policy authored by Dick Cheney that alienated our allies, emboldened our enemies, depleted our resources, distracted our focus and made the nation less secure. The Cheneys lost that debate and their approach was deemed a failure. The Cheneys can continue to focus on securing their sullied legacy if they want to. But, the President will continue to focus on securing the country,"

Hi Hal, good post. I posted on Lizzy Cheney today too. Got some interesting replies.

Good post, Hal. I stand by my earlier post somewhere else, possibly a different universe. No sane country let's Cheney's replicate. Period.
Rated.
Wow! Look at her jaw musculature (double dimples). People that grind their teeth can develop large chewing muscles. Her's might be from clenching her teeth in frustration that our society isn't going her daddy's way. Has dad taught this girl how to shoot, and if so where are the bodies?
I love that quote at the bottom.

The Cheney's can keep lying if they want. We moved on past that point already. Now it's more a question of how long until they finally do investigations.
Never go hunting with this woman.

She looks a bit more wholesome than her father, but there's time for her to develop that contemptuous, curled lip sneer.
The video did a good job of appealing to people who already hate Obama and want to return to the golden days of yesteryear when America flexed its muscles and the world trembled. And your blog did a good job of appealing people who already hate the Cheneys. Two sides of the same bent coin.
Hari Sevugnan's comment is EXACTLY the tone that the White House should use.
Liz Cheney sponsored by Fox News? I don't see any other sources in that video. What a surprise.
This "Liz" person is an impostor. I think it's either Dick himself in one of those Mission Impossible masks and fake bodies or an out and out monster. No sensible young person could possibly be so right wing. As for Bill Kristol, isn't it time the NYT fired him? Gosh he's an embarassment.
apparently the NYT did indeed fire Kristol, good for them. Now if the President just strips him of his citizenship we can all sleep safer.
Dick's mini me is running for political office. You mark my words.
Fuccck off, ------------ tallconnect.com
Ha! I saw this last night on The Ed Show. It's just so ridiculous. The guy can't have a day off to play a round of golf but Bush could spend 1/3 of his Presidency on vacation and away from the White House? Fucking lunatics. Perhaps Liz's time could be better spent on gay rights.
Remember Dana Carvey's church lady? "Scary" -- or maybe I should say "Satan"
Actually the more I read about Darth Cheney the more he scares the living crap out of me. Rated.
The hilarity of a Bush/Cheney supporter criticizing the work ethic of Obama is too delicious to pass up. Didn't Bush spend more time on vacation than any other President or something like that? As for all that drivel up front, it's amazing how such seemingly factual and statistical information can be so transparently agenda-driven to people who are actually informed. To take one example, Obama hasn't actually moved to investigate the CIA on abuses, not nearly enough to satisfy his flank on the left. But of course dupes who don't independently assess the news and get it from disparate sources wouldn't know that.
When I have a fantasy....it is being in the same room with Ann Coulter, Michele Malkin, and Liz Cheney....that give me a Chris Matthews type thrill, only it isn't up my leg.
Great piece - The Cheneys are nut balls. Period.

The quote tops it off. (Rated.)
was this post-nobel-peace prize or prior? post nobel prize, they are looking like they have even more egg on their face....
Im pretty sure if we did a brain scan on cheney, it would reveal that hes a psychopath. seriously-- we have lie detectors all over the place in govt, why not psychopath detectors? as I understand it some brain scanning experiments have found measurable differences.
I love the idea that torturing terrorists is keeping America safe. And having 7 former CIA directors criticize it? Hell, that's kind of like having 7 former oil company CEOs criticize a push for solar energy.
Liz Cheney needs to be stopped now wgen there is still time or else she will grow in stature and be more than anyone can handle. She has the backing now of the trillions of dollars stolen from the people . I am sure it will be put to use in getting the family onto the pulse of matters in the country...............simply put....dangerous!
Why do we even pay attention to her? Her expertise consists of being the offspring of a former vice president. I'm sure she loves her dad and doesn't want his "legacy" sullied, but we voted for a change of direction. If we want to go back to the Bush-Cheney way of doing things, we'll vote for someone that promises it.
Follow the money.

It always knows.

The flavor of fruit.

Wherever it goes.
"Keep America Safe Today" what a title.
