Comment on: "one eighty"

A Report From the War Front in Iraq.

28 Comments

I thought something was up.

Nice editing! You're right. This is how the stories should read. You should do more of these.

In my home town paper...

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran that AP story above the fold with the headline: Bombings Mar "Success". Yes, the scare quotes were included in the headline. Another example of why I only read the sports page on-line.

oops

I hit the 'post' button before agreeing with Cynewulf. You should do more of these.

Cynewulf

I am sick of these people in the media and the Left who will not stop until they bring this country down! If the media were to leave Bahgdad and go to other parts of Iraq, they would find other things to report!

The terrorists know they are getting tons of media coverage, so they play to the cameras...thanks for those comments, Cyne.

Scatbug

How you phrase things makse a huge difference doesn't it? And the media knows it...that's why they slant it to their world view...to influence public opinion...

Oh and Scatbug,

Thanks, I'll consider the suggestion...:)

Sheila

Folks better wake up to the true nature of Islam.

The left likes to mock and make fun of the Christian right, but with Islam we have to remember "it's not all Muslims"

The MSM will not be happy till our mission in Iraq is defeated, then they will tell you see "it's Bush's fault" what hypocrites.

Jevica

So right, Jevica. Seems it's the sign of the times...

Well Done Sheila!

What a refresing look at the news as it should be reported. You are definitely on to something here.

And now for something completely different: Are you as tired as I am dealing with rebates every time you buy a piece of computer equipment or software? Stop by the Heartland and put your two cents in. Let's start a revolt!

Scottie

Thanks for stopping by and comenting! Today on Larry Elder, he interviewed a General from Saddam's army who has written a book about the regime and how he survived to tell the story of the chemical weapons that were flown out of Iraq to Syria before the invasion...wonder if anyone in the MSM will have him on their program...

I'm going over to your place!

BTW, Scottie

I agree with you...I hate those rebates...I just saw an add today in the paper with a rebate on a computer I was looking for...the last time I bought something on a rebate I lost the form and never sent it in...I'm sure they make lots of bucks that way...

Sheila

I'm gonna hunt down that General's book and give it a read. But you can bet your bottom dollar that the MSM will NEVER have him on the air. If I was Fox News, I'd have him on the air over and over and publicize it as well.

Drive another nail in the coffin of the other idiots.

scatbug

Good insight. I'd rather they just write the story and leave it at that but I guess Chronkite's calling Tet a US defeat kinda set the standard for these lowlifes.

Hey GunnyG!

Thanks for stopping by...I think it's time for a revolt against the propaganda media and those who are traitors releasing classified documents to aid the enemy, as well as those who conceal information that confirms the reasons we are at war in Iraq.

This is serious business, and our survival as a nation is at stake! Why don't these leftist/internaitionalist/socialists get it????

Answer: they want to defeat Bush, bring America down and "equalize" the world powers, control free speech, and rule the masses.

And btw,

Yes, the standard was set for American defeat by the press...

Sheila

You had me going for a while there. I was half thinking the poor AP reporter was fired for filing an accurate story.

mgraves

Ha! "Fired for filing an accurate story"...guess we won't have to worry about that...

Today, once again reading the news is truly an amazing thing. Iran could be using the dem political manual on how to defeat the US...saying the United States can't afford another war, the American tax payers won't have it!

Thanks for stopping by mgraves! I'm heading to your place.

Sheila

You got that right. Khronkite, the most trusted man in America, sold America a pig in a poke. His call that Tet was a US loss paved the way for HS dropouts like Jennings to seize the weak minds of the liberals.

GunnyG

Uhg, Jennings... probably the most arrogant of all propagandists, although Oberman has to be a close second with Williams ranking right up there, and of course Blitzer, hm...come to think of it, they're all a bunch of elitist know-nothings who think they know it all, and they all want our defeat in this war...

Guess Fox is absolutely the only balanced reporting...what a mess we're in.

watch tonite

Each year we watch the Oscars with my daughter, I can't wait to see what Al Gore says if he wins the award for his so-called documentary.

There will be more global warming B. S.

Later

Tonight

Yes, we will have Degenerous MC ing the event, and no doubt Al will do his usual "poor me I should be president" routine, along with the "polar bears are dying and the oceans are rising and all you fools out there need to quit driving, flying, eating, drinking...how about just leave the planet so the animals can live in peace" routine...

didnt seem like AP, and wasnt

I first noticed in '04, that AP wasnt reporting honestly (surprise, surprise, maingarbage media not reporting honestly). I emailed an AP writer that her headline was misleading, and didnt at all, match the content of her story. (and as shallow minded as the average american is, the headline would probably hold sway over the content, to the average american.)

My first visit to your blog, because i liked the exposing truth of your statement: "The Left and the ACLU are in the business of protecting perverts, and perpetuating perversion. This pervert should be treated like the criminal lowlife that he is, and never see the light of day again."

(I AGREE ABOUT THE LOWLIFE. And i think youve stated exactly what the left and the aclu are about. It's especially obvious in the case of the aclu. We cant forget the garbage legal system that caters to the aclu perverts, over and over, at more and more expense to the U.S., both monetarily, and in lowering of american standards and values. Then of course, there are the many other leftist scum. All of these scum need to be removed from authority positions, and dumped in the gutter, where they belong!! I'm sure you know the places that harbor them, such as those mentioned, and public education; govt is littered with them, of course.

They all need to be sent packing to pollute some place else, such as he11, where they belong.)


truthwanted

Thanks for stoppping by...I don't know what can be done about the propaganda media...I hope the new media is making a difference, though it seems the propaganda media still has sway ie the last election...

The ACLU, well, there it is...they defend everything that demeans America...and the Left, yes, we need to do everything we can to get them out of power!

And btw, truthwanted,

God will be their judge for the wrongs they have done to individuals and to this country.

Thanks for stoppping by...

(YOUR WELCOME, SHEILA! And thank you for speaking the truth. And thank you for having a blog site. Hopefully, enough good blog sites will combine for a counterbalance of truth against the many liars, especially in influential positions.

Now that liars have been allowed to take over so much of media, govt, public education, law, etc, those of us who hate lies, should do what we can, while we can. The liars are probably on their way to being like other evil, once they get control: try to stifle opposition.

In fact, I've already read of some of their efforts at this stifling. And of course, this effort is a main focus of aclu, e.g. Another such group is (supposed) people for the (supposed) american way. These types of groups of garbage have sprung up considerably, and in the name of "rights", they arent stifled; yet, they seek to stifle everyone who doesnt condone their garbage. Among other such traits, they love to practice hypocrisy.)

I don't know what can be done about the propaganda media...I hope the new media is making a difference, though it seems the propaganda media still has sway ie the last election...

(EXCELLENT POINT, as this is good evidence that maingarbage media still controls the majority of voters. Thus, the majority of voters are either 1) very stupid, or 2) dont care at all when they hear obvious lies. Either way is disgusting to me. The decline of the U.S. has been, and will continue to be, because of these who dont care about living lies, voting lies, and causing others to be harmed by lies.

Part of living lies, is not exposing them. I appreciate you and others, who expose lies, and i also do it as much as possible.

Gunny G, myself, and some others have discussed some changes desperately needed re voting. Since apparantly, dick morris is a supposed expert on politics (newsmax is frequently sending me his opinions), i sent him the following, today. I want this kind of thing disseminated as much as possible to anyone who can effect changes re voting. The current system of voting is a disgrace. Here's one of its disgraces:

I saw your (morris') article re mccain. Not that i care about any gutless political correctivist, like mccain, who worries about such stupid issues as torture of muslim murderers, but i hope you and others, can influence, for the good, the issue of money in politics.: "he raised only $1.7 million....
Even worse, he had less than $500,000 on hand, pocket change in a presidential race and barely adequate for a run for Congress." If more money = more good for the country, then fine with all this having to buy into politics. But considering the FACT that scum like george soros, hollywood perverts, labor unions, mainpervert media, garbage legal system, etc, have much money and little or no interest in the good of the country, MONEY NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AS AN ISSUE IN POLITICS. I dont have to reason this obvious FACT. You know it is obvious. Please help STOP the buying of politics, and help it be based on good for the country, NOT on who spends the most money on it. For starters, advertising should be removed from mainidiot media, and replaced with something more objective and less money wasting (such as dissemination of voting records, or if never having voted as a politician, then objective background evaluation).

SHEILA, i'm firm on this issue. Not everything is clear cut. But this is one way that the voting system should be improved. Whether or not the polluters who control the system, would do it, it should be done. And i'll tell anyone and everyone. I hope you will, too. But of course, i'm not a communist, socialist, muslim, etc, trying to force anyone. I just say it; then the choice is theirs.)

The ACLU, well, there it is...they defend everything that demeans America...

(YES, just what they do, and ive told them so, twice, on their web site. I've also told them how hot their future will be if they continue on their current course. Of course, they ignored me. There are some in this world, who are determined to pollute it for as long as they can, and dont care about the eternal price they'll pay, and much deserve.

(Before the "new millenium" i was VERY reticent to talk about anyone's hot future, because 1) lest i should somehow fall, myself. 2) Only God is the judge of that.

But evil has grown to a level i never expected to see, and so ive come to where i must warn them, and especially for the sake of the innocent, who they do so much damage to, day after day. (I especially hate injustice.))

and the Left, yes, we need to do everything we can to get them out of power!

(YES. It makes me sick that it isnt as easy to get them out, as it should be. It's like having a choice between eating steak or eating vomit. The choice should be simple. Yet, so many in the U.S. are so stupid, they choose the vomit.)

And btw, truthwanted,
God will be their judge for the wrongs they have done to individuals and to this country.

(I DO LOOK FORWARD to a time of JUSTICE, AT LAST.

Thanks for sharing a few thoughts and feelings, Sheila.)

truthwanted

All we can do is our own part to change things for the better in this country.

We need to communicate with the people who hold the reigns of power, as well as those who have influence, and keep the pressure on, where ever we see we can make a difference, and pray for God's protection and mercy on our land.

Keep on keepin' on, and never give up! :)

What it boils down to --


First, thank you, Sheila, for your comment to my "No, Radical Muslim." If you read any of the other comments, you would have seen that I took the suggestion of either GunnyG or JimmyC to drop the "Mr." The title is undeserved by those cretins.

And you are right on point, as usual. It does boil down to an ideology of hate. It's a hate I cannot comprehend; it's a hate few Americans can comprehend; it's a hate that is instilled in young minds that simply grows bigger as the child does; it's a hate that glorifies the murder of babies or anyone else who stands in the way of their alleged trip to their alleged heaven with the alleged 72 virgins waiting for them.

By the way, if I were one of those 72 virgins and knew what was coming, I'd blow myself up first. Or learn the art of permanent self-defense.

Frigglesnitz

Good points...yes it is incomprehensible...but evil is a part of this fallen world, and it is the battle of the ages...but good will triumph in the end, in God's time.

"If I were one of the 72"...that was funny...
