Obey Said WHAT!!!!
We'd be speechless about Obey's quote in this article . . .
Wisconsin Democratic Rep. David Obey said on the House floor that "both the Chinese Communist government and our own administration appear to be interested in doing almost anything in order to prevent legitimate news organizations from reporting activities on people who govern each country."
. . . but we have to say something because Dave Obey compared our government to the communists in China.
Dave Obey is essentially saying that the United States government asking the New York Times not to publish a story about a LEGAL activity to watch terrorists because we feared the terrorists would be alerted to what we are doing is like the Chinese government jailing and killing reporters. Now that's just plain ridiculous.
The New York Times is the paper of record in the city attacked by TERRORISTS. Not just on September 11th, but there was another world trade center bombing 8 years earlier.
Now comes Dave Obey to defend the New York Times, who we're sorry is endangering its very readers. Dave Obey the same guy who just a few months after the first world trade center bombing voted to CUT $500 MILLION FROM OUR INTELLIGENCE BUDGET.
We really could go on and on about the outrageousness of Obey's statement, but we'll end by saying if you didn't think Obey was in the "liberal of the liberals" camp before, this proves it.
FYI - the House of Representatives is voting today on a resolution condemning the New York Times. We're betting Obey votes no.

Boy did Obey get up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday or what.
It'll be interesting to see how Jeremy Oswald will tie Enron into his take on this post....

Why aren't the national Republicans pouring money in here attacking Obey for all these stupid statements and votes. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
this is just getting out of hand. We all need to work together to write letters to the editor, and get the word out about these things Obey is doing. We also need to get behind the best candidate against Obey, and support him all the way victory, and we need to start now!
In responce to the last two posts. The reason the National party is going after Obey is because we have two candidates running in a primary and they don't get involved in primaries. Especially ones that occur so late in the summer/early fall.
Since Tyberg clearly has no chance, what needs to happen is for someone reasonable to get him to drop out. If that happens, the national party will have to look really hard and comming in for Reid because his is a very serious campaign.
Obey voted no on condeming the Times and the leakers. I just saw this afternoon that the Reid campaign had nailed him on this issue on a press release.
