Can Touré Neblett not see the incandescent irony of his statement? His show-ending rant on The Cycle today condemned the censorship of the shocking images of war. Railed Touré: "we're blocked from seeing so much of the cost of war, of the evil of war as if we are too sensitive or squeamish or unable to handle the graphic truth."
Touré focused on one particular photo, taken by photojournalist Kenneth Jarecke during the first Gulf War, deploring the fact that AP refused to publish it. Incredibly, Touré then proceeded to . . . censor the photo himself, declaring that "it's so graphic I can't show it to you now." Hello?

What is a “Toure”? Are we supposed to know who he is? What is his claim to fame that got him hired by MSNBC? What’s with this business of going by only one name?

Lean forward. Now pick up the soap.

Don’t ask me, only seen pics of the dork here and on Weasel Zippers. Apparently a super-rabid semi-negro race baiter.

Somebody is full of ****. I’ve seen all three of those photos before (shortly after the cease fire) so somebody published it.

How many photos of American dead bodies have been shown in the media from the 9-11-2001 attacks? Not people falling to their deaths but the aftermath?
We couldn’t even see pictures of Bin Laden’s corpse because it would “outrage” the “non-muslim” Islamic terrorists and their allies who wear OBL celebrity t-shirts.
There is censorship, but some in the media want to whip up hatred of America as the lone war criminal in the world.

I’ve seen the color version of that photo.
Maybe the photo could show me a similar photo of a burned American at the WTC.

DAMMIT!
That's just what I was going to say.
A, "Toure," sounds like an affliction that someone catches when with questionable sexual partners.
