What did Vice President d**k Cheney do to become evil in your eyes?

Question

This question is for all the liberals who label Vice President Cheney in all sorts of evil ways. I am interested in all your conspiracy ideas. Please enlighten the rest of us.

Answer 3

oh and his PENAC prospectus highlighting the need for race-specific bioweapons is just precious.

You mean, you don't watch Olberman?

Answer 4

Yeah he was born.  Shot a man while hunting, and been deceptive.  That's all.  

Answer 5

he shot a man and had him apologize

Answer 6

Apparently, defending the country is enough to make the left want to demonize him.  It's very telling, isn't it?

Answer 7

After reading a few of these comments, I get the impression that most think Cheney is a lot better than most of the democrats in the house and senate.

Imagine that.

One person said he blames Cheney for the war.  How ignorant is that?  Everyone knows congress voted to go to war and every leader of the free world knew Saddam had WMD's and now that we've found some, I guess they were right.

Answer 8

Maybe it`s the way he is drooling at the thoughts of all the no bid contracts he gave his friends and the kick backs he will get after leaving office.

Answer 9

I like Cheney but I think liberals feel any one involved with the oil business is evil.

Answer 10

For me I would say the Iraq war.  Maaaaybe they honestly believed that Saddam had WMD.  But it turned out that he didn't, and all indications are that we either knew he didn't, or at least saw conflicting intel reports, but invaded a sovereign nation anyway.  I'm not defending Saddam - he was a bad, bad guy.  I would have supported a covert assassination plot.  But this war is a clusterf*ck with no purpose.  Even if he did have WMD, his longest-range missles had a range of about 2100 miles - nowhere near enough range to hit the US.  So they were never any threat to us.  Well, I suppose they could have carried it into the US somehow, but that would have been difficult to pull off even if they had a warhead.

I just think it's sad that 3,000+ of our troops have died, "defending us" from something that was never any significant threat.

Invading Afghanistan, on the other hand...I guess I can get behind that.  Al Queda was (and probably is) a significant threat to us, and they didn't hand them over.

And yes I realize of course that Al Queda is in Iraq *now*.  But at the time we invaded they had no presence there.  So as it is, I'm not sure if I think we should surge, stay the course, or pull out.  But I adamantly don't think we should have gone in in the first place.  As far as Saddam's human rights violations, I guess that was the UN's job to deal with, not ours...although I'll admit the UN certainly wasn't doing squat in that respect.

> Jon--I can understand your views-but does that make him evil?

Thank you, and that's an interesting question.  I suppose we all have some good and some evil in us.  I guess my whole rant above boils down to "my gut tells me he did an evil thing".  But that doesn't necessarily make the man evil.  I'm sure if he were my mailman or neighbor, I might like him just fine.

Answer 11

The liberals hate him because they hate all of those who disagree with them.
