Here's one Tea Bagger that got dipped in hot water! Rick Lazio, the pathetic also-ran loser who is becoming the Dino Rossi of New York perpetual losers. Chris Matthews just tore Rick Lazio apart for playing politics over the proposed Cordoba House Islamic center near Ground Zero. Matthews effectively called Lazio a liar, right to his face...
Matthews also accused Lazio of "distorting" and corrupting" the words of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to make it seem like he is a "hater" of America: "You're making it sound like this guy is blaming Americans for the World Trade Center horror."
Lazio contended that he's just saying: "Let's get to the bottom of this."
"The bottom of it is you're running for governor," Matthews fired back.
Jon Stewart also went after the Republican liars and FOX News during his show last night when Stewart showed clips from his show last week, where he mocked Fox News for playing a dangerous game of association based on speculation, and where various shows on FOX News continued to mention a nameless man with ties to Imam Rauf through the much discussed "Kingdom Foundation." Guess what? It now turns out that the man they are referring to but never name (purposefully) is none other than Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, one of the biggest shareholders of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Showing a photo of the prince shaking hands with FOX owner and founder, Rupet Murdoch, Stewart blurted, "That's right, the guy they're painting as a sinister money force OWNS FOX News." Stewart then used FOX News' own logic to explain (in FOX terms) how the "terror mosque" is funded by Prince Alwaleed, who is also a co-owner of FOX News, and so therefore FOX News funds terrorism.
So, using their logic, Stewart said, "If we want to cut off funding to the terror mosque, we must, together as a nation, stop watching FOX."
OK, here's the rhetorical question: Did FOX News really not know the name of the Kingdom Foundation leader or that he is a News Corp investor? Or did they, as Stewart said, "purposefully cover it up because it didn't help their fear-driven narrative?"

Looks like we're on a roll here, folks. If the usual news press/media won't call these people liars, haters and fear mongerer's to their face, at least some of the cable news personalities seem very willing to do so. Thank you Chris Matthews and Jon Stewart for presenting the truth instead of catering to the masses of purposeful and willingly uninformed whose main goal os to spread their hate, regardless of the facts.
For a very well written diary about Rick Lazio and Imam Rauf, read Shpilk's diary from August 20, 2010:
