#1 Heh! That is just too funny. The liberal media gets its clock cleaned, for a change...

#2 Zell Miller is one Democrat I love to hear speak. What a smart eloquent statesman, with common sense and social grace to boot. I hope GWB offers Zell a high profile cabinet post after the next election - State Dept?? or perhaps, Homeland Security or Transportation?? GWB needs to usher Ridge and Mineta back to civilian ranks, and with Colin Powell retiring...Zell would be perfect for State. So many choices!

P.S. Dough Boy Matthews gives me the creeps. Brokejaw should stick to writing more WWII books and less yapping and showing his left wing mitigated ignorance.

#3 Zell is the man!
I can't wait until he speaks at the GOP Con!
The gentleman really needs to change parties;
Ralph Hall of Texas just went GOP and he's 80!

#4 Zell Miller I know will be big time. Unfortunately, I'm going to be on pins and needles until the president's acceptance speech is a rip-roaring success, but Ralph Hall admitted that he defected to better serve the interests of his district, declaring that he didn't see the GOP majority going away any time soon ...

#5 Yup, I watched this last night and Zell got on 'em pretty good. Zell straightened Brokaw out real fast when the latter tried to assert that Max Cleland's election loss was done in by dirty tricks. Zell pointed out that any man who voted with Ted Kennedy 90% of the time wasn't going to be elected Senator from Georgia. Heh.

#6 HA, HA! Zell got his ass kicked by Matthews tonight. I hope you guys were watching.

#7 Zell challenged Matthews to a duel when Matthews asked him to back up his statements!

The man isn't home. He ranted worse than Dean at his wildest. The GOP needs to bring ol' Zell out more often! Fun guy.

#8 What Zell had to say, and said so well, only seems unhinged to the unhinged. You don't like what he said? Find a mirror, quick, and you'll see your ass nailed to the wall. Where it belongs - right next to the extinct Nazi and Commie and Maoist. Save a spot for the Islamists, K?

Hear that? That's Derek & Cloon sucking air. They have nothing else to retort with because they have no substance, no purpose, no point in existing if everyone fails to toe their PC line and buy into their fantasy. Lol! Jack-off somehwere else if that's the best you can do, children.

As for Mathews, he suffers from that pussified America delusion that you can say and do anything you want - without repercussions. Wrong. And if we still had dueling, dead wrong. There are still a few people left from Zell's generation who have not tucked their tails between their legs and learned to be a pliant pet just to gain the approval of the most mind-fucked simpleton social engineers ever to hit our shores. Fuck 'em, Zell. Say it again, bro. Take 10 steps, turn...

#9 LOL. I love how you neocons canât take criticism when your party does the exact thing you criticized others for.

.com, you get your shorts in a wad; turn red and start throwing curses, anonymously of course.

.com, youâre a poster child applauding a turncoat who only spoke up as he was walking out the door. I'd bet you vilified Jeffords too. Oneil was crucified for it. $10 says Zell has a book out in 60 days.

I've no problem that ol' Zell was a turncoat. The fact he turned into a ranting, threatoning maniac the second he went GOP cant be lost though. Too funny and atypical.

Some things he said were true. For instance (paraphrasing here) he hated people who called our troops occupiers and he was one marine who wont take it.

One problem. Bush called our troops occupation forces once or twice. So Zell's a bit confused in that he is supporting the person that marine cant stand. And LORD help that Matthews ask him to back up his claims.

Poor Zell, poor, angry Zell. http://www.drudgereport.com/zell.jpg hahahaha

#10 LOL, indeed, Cloon! Finally received your DUmmy Talking Points, eh? Hmmm, much later than the others. You must be pretty far down the DhimmiFoodChain. Take care, sonny, when the meltdown becomes apparent to McAuliffe & Co they'll leave the blind little tools like you still holding your cute little signs and drooling down your bibs.

BTW - I'm no neo, as if you have a clue what a neocon really is. I'm a very happy former DhimmiCrat, little one, like Zell. I got out - you should give it a try - it's amazing what you can do with your brain when you stop gumming it up with fuckwit socialist twaddle.

Looking at his comments with that paid shreiker Crissie Madthews, I was actually even more proud of him - it's about time people started putting your little Howdy Doody propaganda outlets in their place: on the floor, cowering, and saying "Yes, Sir." to their betters. I would've preferred Zell take a taxi over there and turn Crissie over his knee, but he had other fuckwit Howdy Doodies on his schedule.

I only wish you were capable of enjoying it as much as the thinking world. You can, just toss off the Dhimmicrat yoke - and begin to think for yourself - for a change. Sad little tool.

Toddle off, Cloon, and Toodles!

#11 Oh, .com? Here's the Matthews/Miller transcript.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5892840/

If you're man enough, scroll down and read the Zell portion. It's quite funny. He wont answer yes or no, says he wishes he was in Matthews face (vs live feed) but wont agree to come over. Your hero Zell had his 15 minutes of fame and flamed out like a cheap firework. LOL.

Brief clip:

MATTHEWS: Iâm just asking you, Senator, do you mean to sayâI know thereâs rhetoric in campaigns. I just want to know, do you mean to say that you really believe that John Kerry and Ted Kennedy do not believe in defending the country?

MILLER: Well, look at their votes.

MATTHEWS: Iâm just asking you to bottom-line it for me.

MILLER: Wait a minute. I said I didnât question their patriotism.

MATTHEWS: No. Do you believe that they donât believe in defending the country?

MILLER: I question their judgment.

What?

MATTHEWS: Do you believe they want to defend the country?

MILLER: Look, I applaud what John Kerry did as far as volunteering to go to Vietnam. I applaud what he did when he volunteered for combat. I admire that, and I respect that. And I acknowledge that. I have said that many, many times.

Read on it gets better. Bring on Zell!! MORE ZELL!!!

#12 No, .com, you're a neocon. You just wont admit it. Real repubs dont wave their arms and start cursing when questioned. They're smart people with a different political view who discuss things.

You're a right winger who likes screaming, calling playground names and spouting unresearched party lines and that's apparent. I've been debating folks like you for years. You're a stereotypical knuckle dragger and no sport.

Good night

#13 Lol! Ah, such a presumptuous, proper, poofta and ponce, lol!

I heard every word of the speech and the interview - downloaded them, in fact. Your silly posts make no salient points - just the usual result of pure inductive reasoning: vacuous self-gratification. Sticky and, as I said, pointless.

The speech and the interview resonated for millions of people - you did notice those people in Herald Square applauding Miller when he bitch-slapped your Howdy Doody? Did you filter that out? Lol! Apparently your ears are as gummed up with Dhimmidonk excreta as are the neural pathways of your BioCPU, lol!

Just remember the "Yes, Sir." and you'll be able to maintain some semblance of perspective. Meltdown this way comes, Dhimmi. Better buy some paper towels! Lol!

I have this little offering...

But it's too late, your're 'round the bend already.

This is an old thread, and your repostes are threadbare. I agree we're finished, poofie. Hie thee back to the DUmmy Cave. Buh Bye!

#14 Zell Miller was the one doing the ass-whooping, not Matthews. Get that much right.

#15 Amen, Jeff. In your honor, and in honor of Zell taking that cheesedick to the woodshed, I offer one of my favorite images, lol! Use wisely, but use often, my friend!

#16 Even a thesaurus doesnt help you .com.

I find it interesting that the further that people like you get into a corner the bigger the words get and then *BOOM* pics start appearing because you cant articulate.

All smoke no fire. Like I said typical. zzzzz

Going to work. Have a good day.

ps, Jeff. When did threatening someone, then refusing to come over and do it, and not answering a simple yes/no question become an ass-whoopin? You have your RW goggles on.

Hell, even the real neocons that I debate elsewhere (as opposed to ol' .com wanabee here) admit Zell could've done better.

Anyone can get on a podeum and make charges and accusations. The real speaker will back it up when asked too. Zell wouldnt do that.

Matthews, O'Reilly, etc are rapid fire interviewers. Miller knew what he was getting into and theye were fair questions.

#17 Cloon, Zell hasn't left the Dimocrat Party, much as you would like him to.

And President Bush probably shouldn't have used the word "occupation" about Iraq, but that's over now that Iraq has sovereignity.
Just because the President used that word a few times doesn't make the Left's overuse of the word, particularly in regard to the Israeli- "Palestinian" situation, acceptable.
Sen. Miller made a very valid point--calling the presence of our troops in a foreign place an "occupation" is a code word that gives our enemies a carte blanche to mount a "resistance."
It's a code word and Zell was acknowledging this when we talk about ourselves and our troops.
The bad guys can call us "occupiers" but we need to recognize ourselves as "liberators" as we've done in every war we were in before Vietnam.

Lastly, the Sen. busted Crass Matthews for being the overbearing boor that he is.
Like Kerry and the Dimocrats, he'd been asking for this comeuppance for a long, long, long time.
Zell was clearly on a roll and not in the mood to be messed with!

#20 GJ,
Except for the silly name calling, not bad.

You're holding a double standard. The president can say it but no one else can. I'm sorry but it's not flying with stuff Kerry said 30 years ago and it's not flying now.

Watch your words. The definition of sovereignity is "Supremacy of authority or rule as exercised by a sovereign or sovereign state"

If Iraq is sovereign, we may as well just pull out. Not going to happen. We have the cash and security. We wont do anything we dont want to over there and they sure as hell arent going to tell us to. We will help them there but they arent by a long shot. There would be civil war the second we pulled out.

I see alot of the troops in Iraq but only occasionally are they called Occupation Forces. It's rare that I hear it.

If we are ther against the will of the majority we are occupiers though. We'll never know. There are much bigger issues. Occupiers vs liberators depends on which end of the AC130 you're on.

How can Miller threatening Matthews and refusing to answer yes/no questions on what he said be defined as giving a comeuppance? Did he think Matthews would not ask a tough question on a program called "Hardball"? I've seen Matthews twist Dems into a pretzel also.

He should have gone on O'Reilly like Bono and just had a good ol' backslappin'. I think that's what you're looking for.

LOL, Frank G.
