Video- Former Bush Speech Writer Says Obama is Inviting Another Terrorist Attack, Larry O’Donnell fights him on it

Friday, February 12, 2010 at 7:20 AM by Paddy View Comments

I want a dollar for every time they said Lawrence, double it if they sounded condescending. Wussies.

UPDATE- Here’s the complete vid with the relatively staid bit after the commercial. Does it bother anyone else that Scarborough seems to mock O’Donnell and the idea that he’s “off his meds” a bit too much?

Note- Title changed ’cause FDL came up with a better one.

The Bush administration was given in his DBR about the US was going to be attack 9 months in advance, yet they did nothing, In June of 2001 Bush and Blair was taking about invading Iraq, 2 months before the US got hit, and so far as Scarbrough I know he is a neocon hick, he was protecting that Idiot for Lawrence breaking him down.

Go Larry!

Feels good when somebody call their lies, to their face.

Is Theissen an anti-terrorist expert?

If the Bush administration would like to take credit no terrorism attack after 99, they should equally take responsibility over the fact 3000 Americans died on their watch.

I agree w/everything that everyone has said...

MSNBC's Morning Joe needs replacements...
Scarborough, a former Congressional member, needs to STFU, and he should head on over to Fox "News!" Mika has "no backbone, spine, or whatever"... Doesn't stand up against Scarborough...Her father, who was a Pres. Carter-nominated national security official, cannot be proud of her! Doesn't she do any homework/research for the show and her radio show?

This guy, Thiessen, IS a former Bush speechwriter not a national security expert...Instead of working together for the good of the country, CIA & FBI have always be "at each other's throat!" Prior to 9/11, FBI has always had its' own interrogative program...one wasn't needed at the CIA, too...Waste of money & manpower...Now, CIA needs to improve its' 'human intelligence' gathering!

Go O'Donnell Go!!

From the very start, Joe was coddling Thiessen. "Watch, they won't let you finish a sentence" - WTF ?
Thiessen got to finish lots of sentences. Not so with Lawrence. Joe is such a pompous twit, Mika is completely useless, Thiessen a liar pushing his crappy book. Lawrence is awesome...love his passion for getting to the truth. Has SNL ever done a Joe/Mika skit? That would be fun.

Theissen's like all RW Repubs want the American citizens to forget the first 9 months of the Bush Administration, like it didn't exist.

Bush Administration is the reason our country is in the fix we are in today, from fighting 2 wars,one that could have ended quickly if our military were given the resources to capture bin Laden, to our economic difficulties.

The Republican are now trying to blame Obama for our economic conditions while they are complete obstructionists.

Theissen is part of the brain washing of America that Bush/Cheney loyalists are trying to do

I loved Theissen's face while O'Donnell nailed his hypocrisy and lack of patriotism ... "oops, somebody's actually calling out my idiotic BS with a valid argument. Help me Right-Wing Joe, help me!"

I love the O'Donnell!

How disrespectful of the whole lot of them! Joe, Mika and Mr. "It isn't Torture" were beyond condescending to Lawrence, who was righteously indignant.

We need more like Lawrence who refuse to keep silent in the name of "we don't holler here". Thank you Mr. O'Donnell for speaking up for me.

And in this corner...

John Kiriakou, the ex-CIA operative who rocked the torture debate back in 2007 by claiming that waterboarding swiftly drew information from Abu Zubaydah, now admits that he made it all up.

Joe Scarborough is a douche bag,Mika is a terrible "journalist" and Lawrence was completely right in his argument despite Joe trying his hardest to stop him from telling the truth

Mock? A Rushpuber was "Mocking"?

It's one of the standards! Talk about one of the items in the "purity" test...can you mock anyone that disagrees?

After I finally lined up this kind of stuff in my mind (it was St. Sarah the Mocker that made me think about it), it seemed so clear. Mocking, negative, sarcastic, condescending, immature, juvenille...and it goes on.

I love O'Donnell's passionate anger. It is what I feel when I see these repunk elitists trying to rewrite history leaving out the facts that prove them wrong. They are entitled to their opinions but their ongoing hypocrisy leaves a continuous nasty smell in the room. I can smell it from here. And then they decide to rewrite the definition of torture so they can wash their hands of guilt. Theissen is not only a major asshat but a coward also.

And, never will.

Don't think that Mark guy ever answered Lawrence either.
