We have scanned the YouTubes for the snarliest of snarly Dick Cheney quotes this morning, because THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO COVER TODAY, ugh, and decided this part was better than the ones in which he insults the New York Times and the United States Senate and the “left-wing of the president’s party” and whatever else. Cheney argues that these LEGAL DEBATES are making America look like fags to the Terrorists, so we need to stop it with the “distractions,” which do not include mean old Dick Cheney going on the teevee every day, bitching about how Obama won’t release certain documents he needs to spice up his memoirs.

good point. really. bin laden really thinks juridical debate is a sign of weakness.
Remember the good old days when people were warned about the things they say (by Ari), or wrote in newspapers (by the GOP & its pundits), or filmed (again, the GOP & its pundits).
We really are more secure in a dictatorship.
So dissent is unpatriotic, is what he’s saying? I guess that worked when he was in the White House (or wherever his lair was during the Dubya administration) — but how does that work now? Mr. Fourth-Branch-of-Government must have an eternal appointment somehow, and thus it’s always unpatriotic to disagree with him. Too bad we don’t have access to the Secret Constitution that only he knows about — but that’s why he’s the boss.
Sympathy for the Cheney
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and waste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole two elections and their faith
And I was round when Al Gore
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Scalia
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around Washington
When I saw it was a time for a change
Let Enron brown out California
Tom Daschele screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Wore a pretend generals rank
When Iraqi Freedom raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
ha hahaha haaa…ooohhh…FUCK YOU!
His mechanical heart’s hate module has been cranked up to 11 today. Probably will make his farts extra sulfury.
Yeah so let me try to follow this:
1) Terrorists hate our freedom
2) Terrorists love it when we debate what freedom is
3) If we abandon freedom and stop talking about it, the terrorists lose
The mind of Darth is truly a frightening place.
Go anally fuck yourself to death, Dick.
ManchuCandidate: One of your best. +3.
The evil scowl on that man’s face is just screaming for a load of buckshot.
Dear Dick,
Elections have consequences.
Shut the fuck up, also.
Sincerely,
Everyone (except Rush & a few freepers)
No snark here. I absolutely detest Cheney.
This Guy! A pus-filled boil on the perineum of US Merka. Somebody lance him, plz?
SayItWithWookies: No–dissent and even sedition is patriotic now, because there is a democrat in the white house, and democrats have “control” , ok majorities, in the house and senate. Now is a perfectly fine time to dissent and bomb government buildings and suck on nutsacks. I think even flag burning is legal right now, but I’d have to check on that.
God I have terrorist fatigue. We’re sick of terrorists. Dick Cheese can’t believe we’re sick of terrorists, because to him it’s the best topic ever. He’s like some old lady who’s fascinated with death and disease and thinks everyone wants to hear about it all day.
Are we really back on the “terrorists hate our freedom” and “every time we use that freedom in a way Dick Cheney doesn’t like, the baby Allah give bin Laden a new target to bomb” track?
Cheney’s speech reminds me of those Howie Long truck commercials. “That a nice Constitutional discussion about rights and laws you’re having….for a liberal fag who hates America. This is ouuuuuuuuur couuuuuntryyyy.” Thanks Dick, go away now.

SRS COMMENT TIME, SORRY.
The whole “‘No moral value’ asks ‘the sacrificing of innocent lives’” bullet point is complete fucking horseshit. Plenty of moral values ask for sacrifice on the part of the moral (and hence, innocent) peoples making the decision. And the question is not one for the government (i.e. am I willing to sacrifice some citizens for a clean conscience on torture) but one for the citizens, who the government represents. The citizens must ask themselves, am I willing to risk danger, death, and terrorisms for the sake of living in a morally upright nation that does not sacrifice its principles and morality for the sake of safety?
Ugh, you’d think that Republitards would side with Kant on the necessity for categorically imperative moral behavior, regardless of utility. But here comes Dick Cheney saying that he is a utilitarian (selectively, when he is feeling scared of brown people). And there isn’t even a utilitarian argument for torture, is the sad thing (because it doesn’t fucking work).
All right, srs philosophy talk is over, we can have funnies again.
Crank Tango:
The weird part is that this dissent seems to actually work, causing the democrats to piss themselves in panic over the thought of evil muslins taking over our neighborhoods. We only wish we were that effective as a minority.
Sometimes medical technology is not such a good thing and yes, I am thinking of whomever invented Darth Cheney’s pacemaker. It would be nice if that good man had thought to put a time bomb in it so it would expire like trial-run software.
Mad Brahms: I think it’s probably more like
1) Terrorisms hate our freedomosity
2) Terrorists are mean and attack people they don’t like, like we do (but they attack white people!)
3) If we just get rid of all the freedoms, we will be safe forever.
Zadig: SRS REPLY TIME
It would be interesting to hear him define “innocent” here. I have a feeling he means “not directly implicated in conflict”, i.e. collateral damage, but in a democracy (hey Dick, we have one of those, remember), this is actually a bit difficult to define. Does he mean civilians, as opposed to soldiers? What about policymakers? His argument is not a house of cards. It is a palatial estate of cards.
The sad thing is that Dick believes that by replaying the whole terrorism canard over and over and over again, the American people might somehow revert to buying into the whole “Fear and must torture and kill the bearded brown people with funny namez” mentality that made him supposedly relevant pre-BHO. In sum, it won’t, and we’re sick to death of hearing the same shit being endlessly spewed by this irrelevant mendacious fuck.
Bush leaves office and finally gets something right — “I’m gonna be quiet and let history judge.”
So, here’s hoping History judges Dick to be the early 21st Century equivalent of Benedict Arnold.
Well, OK, I don’t want to watch this at work, I have eyeballs you know. Somebody tell me, were there TelEproMptErZ for Cheney’s speec?
Sucks being in a Democracy, Dick.
queeraselvis v 2.0: Mad Brahms: I worry that the idiots led around by Reid are afraid not of the terrorists but of the possibility of being called pussies by the likes of Cheney. I’m also afraid that there are still enough idiots in this country who buy into Cheney’s world view, and that’s without a major attack in the country for 8 years. Just think how hysterical everyone would get
ifwhen there is another attack.I am confused - he says that seeing the leaders arguing about policies and having debates makes us weak. So, according to his own logic, if Darth Vader wants us to be strong, he should shut the fuck up and get in line behind the President, like he always wanted us to do for the last eight years. The real question is, why does Cheney supports the terrorists?
HES REEDING THAT HOLE SPEECH OFFA PEECE OF PAPER!!1!!!!1
NotAnEvilLobbyist: exactly! For 8 long years we had to put up w/this crapulous horror show doing his stuff in secret. Now it appears we have to put up w/8 more years of him finally coming out from behind the curtain to endlessly spew his tainted cant at us. STFU already!
Why is this site giving this dick any spotlight? You must really want to be the part of the MSM.
I think Cheney is a closet terrorist.
Zadig: How about:
1. Terrorists use terror to win
2. Our problem is we’re not sufficiently terrified
3. Therefore we must use terror to win
McDuff: I think its less about his sagacity and more him thinking - “I am dumb as fuck and without anyone telling me what to say, it’s easier to just be quiet.”
Advocatus_Diaboli: I hate that America has turned into a country where its OK to be a ‘fraidy-cat pussies, all while singing about “putting boots in the asses” of our imaginary enemies.
I’ve worked with refugees and inner city kids surrounded by gang warriors and war vets. When you look at their real PTSD, despair and desperation it is soooo boring listening to politicians whine about Americans’ “shared tragedy.”
Oh and Keef Oboringman is going to rip the dICKSTER A NEW ONE TONIGHT WITH HIS “SPECIAL COMMENT”ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I’ve always felt sorry for guys who got named “Dick”. Until this one…he deserves the moniker.
You tell ‘em, Dick! After all, being united & talking tough worked like a charm to keep Amurrika safe in 2001, amirite?
Palin/Cheney 2012: COME OVER TO THE DARK SIDE.
Won’t this puss sack ever go away? On second thought, as long as he’s still around spouting his bile, nails are being driven into the Repug coffin, so I guess I can stand it a bit longer.
