Are conservatives turning on Liz Cheney?
March 8, 2010
The backlash is growing against Liz Cheney after she demonized Department of Justice attorneys as terrorist sympathizers for their past legal work defending Gitmo detainees — and now it’s coming from within deeply conservative legal circles.
On Friday, the conservative blog Power Line put up a post titled, "An Attack That Goes Too Far." Author Paul Mirengoff, called Cheney’s effort to brand DoJ officials the "Al Qaeda 7," "vicious" and "unfounded" even if it was right to criticize defense lawyers for voluntarily doing work on behalf of Gitmo detainees.
Reached on the phone, Mirengoff offered an even sharper rebuke, contrasting what Cheney is doing to the anti-communist crusades launched by Sen. Joseph McCarthy and, in some respects, finding it worse.
"It could be worse than some of the assertions made by McCarthy, depending on some of the validity of those assertions," Mirengoff said, explaining that at least McCarthy was correct in pinpointing individuals as communist sympathizers. "It is just baseless to suggest that [these DoJ officials] share al Qaeda values… they didn’t actually say it but I think it was a fair implication of what they were saying."
I saw briefly what Cheney said on the Rachel Maddow show. I hope they see her attacks as baseless. The problem is that her irresponsible beliefs/comments are taken seriously by many.** PS Mary Cheney is a lesbian, not that it should be mentioned, but some have said in answering that Liz is a lesbian.
I’m sorry, but who is Liz Cheney? The lesbian daughter of a former Vice President? WHO CARES! If I’m not concerned about her, why are you?

Liz is doing just fine. There is no problem. The media may want to stir up a problem but, there is no problem.

No not turning on her, we never liked her in the first place.

No. They aren’t turning against her at all, but it sure got their (Obama administration) attention, didn’t it?
