The way the Liberals in the media are acting is Proof of how much they hate our Country

I noticed something else about the media today. I posted the following on another thread:

I've noticed a trend among the media today. I was listening to CBS news on the radio a little while ago and the reporterette said something like, "When the WMD are found..." No more "if they are found."

Reuter's made reference to the fact that "little evidence" regarding WMD has been found so far as opposed to their past statements that "no evidence" has been found.

AP said, "Aides even declined to describe Bush's reaction at the news, despite the long-sought development that could bring significant vindication for the war the president started nine months ago," which is opposite their past position that there was no justification, period.

Add this one to your list:

"Given the location and circumstances of his capture, it makes it clear that Saddam was not managing the insurgency, and that he had very little control or influence," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

From the FOX News website. (Democrats actually manage the insurgency).

ALso .. don't forget Eleanor Ratcliff's comments before the War started and how she hoped that we would lose the war because it would be great news for the Dem Election

On CNN, Wolf Blitzer turned to a CNN expert correspondent, "veteran Secretary of Defense" William Cohen (from the Clinton Administration), urging calm and self-retrospection in the face of this good news, since after all, "this may seem like a day of celebration", but "we should remember that a week ago, there was coverage of Iraqis dragging U.S. soldiers through the streets."

CNN quickly returned to its non-biased coverage of Saddam Hussein's capture, featuring commentary on assertions that the Bush Administration needs to make sure its response to this event is toned-down enough so as not to come across as "arrogant". The CNN segment continued to remind viewers that "we are acting on behalf of Iraqis", and that if the Bush Administration takes too much pleasure in the capture of Saddam, it might leave the impression that the administration "has its own interests in mind".

Little wonder at the liberal response. They and Al Queda are cousins under the skin. They could give a flip less about this nation except to destroy it and everyone that stands in the way of their socialist pipe dream.

They are the enemies in the gate, we cannot continue to live with their presence here. They can move to France with like minded individuals, neither they nor anyone else has the Consitutional right, civil right, nor the freedom to turn the USofA into a socialist nightmare.

We should not tolerate them anymore. They should be told to leave, and in no uncertain terms.

Toward the end of Brian Wilson's spot on FNC, he was talking to Chris Wallace and John Warner. Wallace said "I expect that Bush won't repeat the 'Mission Accomplished' mistake from the carrier," and Warner observed "But this mission WAS accomplished -- they captured Saddam Hussein!"

Listening to NPR in the car this morning, an NPR commentator (not a guest) in a soft, quiet, and clearly depressed voice talked of how "some Iraqis" are happy about his capture but the capture of Saddam will not fix the electricity supply. Will not fix the miles long gas lines. Will not this, will not that...

Was nothing but complaints and focus on negatives. Nary a single word of congratulations to our troops, or words of support for the Iraqi people.

And for those who haven't, head over to DU. It is nothing but thread after thread after thread of complete, utter, and total depression. Few, very few posters have posted words of support for the capture of Saddam. A vast majority are upset about his capture. Think he should not have been captured. And are almosted enraged at his capture. It is truly a site to see.

Normally I can lurk at DU and read things and get a good laugh. But the stuff going on there today is even beyond my strong stomachs ability.

[GRANGER]

Not one of the talking heads I have heard has mentioned the real impact of Saddam's capture: The puplic trial next year will bring forth so much appalling evidence that demo claims of an unjustified war will be completely deflated. This is doom for the dems.

Thanks for putting up this thread. it illumimates the bias and badness that exists.

The American mainstream has degenerated sometime ago into a fullblown propoganda effort. The object is to sahpe events to further leftwing agenda.

It will get worse next year. It may become unbearable in the coming months.

Can it be confronted? Can it be successfully FReeped? If you see after today that such an effort might be worthwhile send me a FReep mail.

I'm not at my normal computer today and don't have my CCRM oost at hand. Free Republic has a media chapter and your help is needed.

BBC TV also made a bizarre comment: that Saddam's capture might be bad for America because he knows all the secrets from the 1980's, when we were "arming him."

BBC TV did not mention that Saddam also knows all the secrets from the 1990's until now, when he was receiving supplies and support from France, Germany, and Russia.

BBC TV also didn't understand that Saddam is in U.S. custody, and that we know what he knows, and that Saddam will not be speaking on the public circuit or giving interviews to BBC TV or writing magazine articles.

[shhrubbery!]

Did anyone else torture himself and listen to NPR today?

I did, and WHEW! Their reporter Anne Garrels is BESIDE HERSELF WITH HATRED for the U.S. and for George Bush.

Garrels positively shrieked that we've done NOTHING right in Iraq -- all is chaos -- we've done NOTHING for security -- blah blah blithering blah!

For a little while NPR had Garrels up against someone named Major Jack Keene (sp?). Whoever he was, he tried to be gentlemanly while Garrels kept interrupting and shrieking, but you could tell he was sorely tried.

The LEFT are in agony over the capture of Saddam.

[metesky]

NPR has expressed "concerns" that Saddam has not been treated with dignity.

Saddam lost his last chance at any sort of dignity when he didn't shoot himself. No cajones. Even Adolf had the grace to shoot himself in the mouth.

[Pharmboy]

Y'know, this just adds insult to injury, the economy being the injury. The stock market will again surge tomorrow, starting the democraplibs's week off poorly. Pity.

[Bulldogger]

I was watching NBC and CBS this morning and both networks were falling all over themselves to get away from Saddam's capture and, instead, discuss all the things that HAVEN'T been accomplished - particularly finding WMD and finding Osama. When America suffers setbacks, they will take all the time in the world to focus on the setback in vivid detail but when America makes progress, they can't get off the topic fast enough. Liberal media bias? What liberal media bias??

And now there is nothing to scare the shiites from kicking the ass of the occupiers out of Iraq!
Bring'em on!

Saddam dead or alive or captured makes little difference soldiers choose their destiny and I have no pity for them..I have pity for the innocents they slaughter. This blind obedience to 'our boys' is dangerous from DUers and anybody else. They are trained to kill and the majority are just ruthless unthinking bastards who allow themselves to fall prey to man's darkest instincts. To continually preach about the plight of US soldiers just perpetuates the myth of US supremacy and is just saying that Iraqis are lesser human beings. Israeli fighter pilots have refused to engage any more in killing innocent Palestinians, Gi's have the same option. They don't have to be there but Iraqis have no choice . Put your sympathy with those that really deserve it. Any soldier has a moral right to lay down his arms and refuse to fight in an illegal war.But those that have willingly gone are just the will hand maidens of evil Bush and Co.

I thought the following exchange was interesting, to say the least:

7. straw dog alert
so are you advancing the argument that any criticism of the war shows disloyalty to our troops? I hope not because it certainly does not.

Don't know if this article's been posted or not, but, according to the A.P., the U.S. military has been transformed into "Washington's beleaguered occupying force":

Grubby Saddam captured hiding in hole

By Joseph Logan

AD-DAWR, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. troops have captured Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole near his home town of Tikrit in a major coup for Washington's beleaguered occupying force in Iraq....
