2006-10-11 O'Reilly: Mark Foley a Democrat

n a week when the member of the "Axis of Evil" who actually has WMDs (North Korea) has tested a nuclear weapon [1] and the total number of "excess" human fatalities in Iraq since the US invasion is estimated to have topped 650,000 [2], it really doesn't appear there is anything left to say about this disgraceful Black Comedy of greed thinly veiled with fear, hate and war (a.k.a, the Republican Party) and their few remaining rabid sycophants.  Nonetheless, I couldn't resist posting this video clip from their "Fair and Balanced" News Channel (a.k.a. the "F-word" Network).  When under fire, just change the truth completely!  Mark Foley, the disgraced congressman, is, in fact, a Republican.

Above: Former Vice President Al Gore at the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Hall in Washington, D.C.  Hosted by the American Constitution Society and the Liberty Coalition, Gore speaks about the limits of executive power, the issue of monitoring domestic communications and the authorization of the use of torture in the war against terrorism.  View the entire speech --> here.
