Maxine Waters on Fox News Sunday (VIDEO)

I guess Chris just had to go there for his “fair and balanced” time for Fox News Sunday. Alas, I had to as well. But my reasons are different. I want to display liberal lunacy wherever it lies, and there are few greater at this than California Democrat representative, Maxine Waters.

Here’s a portion of the transcript, which can be read in full here:

WALLACE: But by voting against the spending bill, you would be voting against giving the troops body armor, against more funding for veterans and military hospitals.

WATERS: That’s not true. That’s absolutely not true. What you have in this bill is a requirement that the soldiers would be properly trained, they would have the proper equipment, and it basically backs the president up against the wall, and it dares him to use his waiver authority they give him.

Even though the bill says that’s what we need, that’s what we should have, then they say but, Mr. President, you can waive all of that if you want to. And of course, if he waives that, he has to go before the American people. It will make him look bad. That’s one of the bells or the whistles in the bill.

(Oh, so now we really know it’s about the troops, eh, Maxine?)

I think we need a straight bill, vote up or down on the supplemental, and the only thing that I would say is use money in that supplemental to safely exit the soldiers out of Iraq.

WALLACE: Congresswoman — and I want to make it clear that you want to get all troops out of Iraq by the end of the year, but you also make it clear you want to fund it, as you say, to make it safe, to make it thoughtful.

But let’s talk about your policy and what would happen if all U.S. troops are out of Iraq by the end of 2007. Don’t you worry about a possible — it’s been called genocidal blood bath between the Sunnis and the Shia once we’re out of there?

WATERS: Well, let me just say this. And I don’t think there’s any problem with leaving some of our soldiers what we call over the horizon, in Kuwait someplace, to help respond to a major catastrophe of some kind.

But don’t forget, the Sunnis and the Shiites were getting along before we went in with our occupation, and I don’t think that we can use the argument that if we’re not there, it’s going to be a bloodbath, or they can’t manage to do what they were doing prior to our being there.

Much of what is happening …

WALLACE: Well, but, Congresswoman, prior to our being there, Saddam Hussein was in charge. So that was what was keeping the Sunnis and Shia away from each other.

I mean, once we’re out, we’re not going to come back if the Sunni and the Shia start fighting with each other.

WATERS: Well, I don’t think we can say the only way that Iraq can be stabilized is if Saddam Hussein was there. I think that they’re developing new leadership. We have given support to new leadership.

And they have to find a way to get along. I don’t think that we can say that in order for us to leave, we’ve got to somehow make sure that history — years of history of not getting along all of a sudden is changed and that we’re going to have to stay there until it happens.

They are going to have to figure that out. We can support them, but we cannot stay there forever in the middle of this civil war.

C’mon, Maxine… you’re kidding, right? She can’t be serious. Oh, yeah… she can; she’s a Democrat. I personally think that Chris was more stunned and amused than he was thinking about engaging in serious debate with this, er, ah…um…”less mentally-fortunate” person.

While I’m on the subject, Maxine, I want you to read what a recent commenter on my blog had to say about people like you:

…I am in the Army, and have deployed to Iraq. Did I want to leave my family and friends behind…no, but this is my duty, and believe me I am proud to have served. The reason that I am writing this message is because I am sick and tired of folks around the country trying to stick up for me. I am tired of Americans telling other Americans that I want to come home, and that I should not have gone to war in the first place. I am my own person, I voluntered to join the Army. I do not need, nor do I want anyone defending me. Especially, when they do not know me. So, go ahead and protest, I give you that right, but do not use me or my other brothers and sisters in arms to advance your cause. LEAVE US OUT OF IT…. and by the way, most of the soldiers that I have served with believe in this cause, as do I. I believe that I have the authority to speak on these matters as I have served the people of the United States for 14 years…

Folks, people like Maxine Waters just reinforce why we need to ensure a Republican stays in the White House in 2009, and furthers my desires for that Republican to be Fred Thompson.
