Delahunt runs out the clock, equivocates

by @ 11:29 am on June 28, 2008. Filed under Mark Levin Audio, Tim Sumner

At the start of his show last night, Mark Levin announced that Congressman William Delahunt had agreed to come on and talk about his “I’m glad they [al Qaeda] finally have the chance to see you, Mr. Addington,” remark. Yet Delahunt proved his “apology” was really an equivocation. First, he avoided a grilling by running out the clock, waiting until the end of the show to become available to talk. Then, the despicable (my words) Congressman Delahunt feigned a lack of control of his own words while questioning the Vice President’s chief of staff:

The audio clearly indicates Congressman Delahunt choose his words carefully while questioning David Addington and, during an unguarded moment, revealed his thinly veiled contempt.

Sadly, Delahunt is but one of many in America who cannot identify our real enemies.

Here is a hint for them: the ones trying to kill us all are the enemy. Those on the other side of the political aisle who merely engage in the debate as we, as a nation, figure out how to keep the enemy from succeeding are called ‘the loyal opposition.’

Perhaps it would help if we all took a few moments each day to remember what the first word of our founding words means and what it would mean if “We…” lose this war.

    It was obvious that Delahunt was lying through his teeth! What a sleaze! I do NOT take him at his word!

  2. I have a feeling that Delahunt intentionally called the show late, therefore dodging some of the tough questions that he undoubtedly knew were heading his way. By calling the show at 6:55 or whatever it was, he achieved his objective of showing up, providing a half-way excuse, and making Mark apologize for the lack of time (Hey guys! I phoned the program right? —yeah, but you didn’t say a damn thing). This guy Delahunt knew exactly what he was doing when he phoned Mark with 3 min. left…typical politicians, I would expect nothing less.

    The crux of the Democrats’ questioning of Mr. Addington was: who was responsible for the adoption of harsh interrogation methods following the Sept. 11, 2001, on the detainees?
    Is adopting harsh interrogation methods against known terrorists who killed 3,000 Americans a BAD thing? How did we get to this point in American History where members of our own government are actively supporting and aiding our enemy?
    If a second attack on American soil were to have taken place recently, these same idiots would be grilling the Administration on why EVEN HARSHER INTERROGATION methods had NOT been adopted! Democrats are clearly destroying our economy, our way of life, and siding with our enemy by attacking the President’s ability to defend us! This clown, Delahunt, epitomizes the Democrat party, willing to sell out our own defense in order to destroy the President. Democrats have made it a crime to be a Republican serving the public in government. We’re already getting a glimpse of the tyranny the Democrats will inflict on Conservatives when the messiah assumes his throne.

    This was politics by the usual democrat playbook. There were no errors of omission only admission of errors. Have it both ways, hedge your bets, and commit to nothing while saying everything you intend to get across. Meanwhile on the Republican side you will be accused of what you never said while what you said will go unmentioned. It is democrat gobbly goop and could only exist where a media gives support and cover.

    It always amazes me how astute and quick the media is to notice, and then to report, a contextual bifurcated meaning, stated by a republican, that is completely clear in the context of the discussion, so as to extract an alternative meaning that is off the wall and unrelated. That is why these boys can’t wait to get the Fairness Doctrine up and running.

    This guy is not a product of 911 but 911 was, and may again be, a product of politicians like him. That would be deemed political acrimony by the MSM, yet that is what republicans need to say because when this much is at stake, and it is the truth, you have to say it.
