I rarely write letters to the editor in response to a discusting article I've read, but this time I had to. Folks pretty much said it all here already how truely vile rooney has become, but I feel tons better for writing to cbs requesting them to either demand rooney submit an appology article or retire him, or else cbs is coming off my remote. To hell with him.

I believe the Buffalo News is your local paper.
I hope you will call this moron Goldberg up at the paper and blister his hide to the wall as I did today.

We need to bombard him with emails. He is UNAMERICAN!
Yes, Hollywood that is what I said. Put the pc where it belongs in the gutter. You who can not support our President and troops are UNAMERICAN!

FoxFans: This thread is not Fox News-related, but I really had to make an exception for this one... Andy Looney went WAY over the line this time, IMHO.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

As a Viet Nam vet, I honestly feel that Rooney just spit on me and called me a "Baby Killer", as was done some 34 years ago in the San Francisco Airport.I have posted before my lament about an in-your-face liberal in-law who makes a "statement" at every family gathering.
For a year I have bitten my tongue in the interest of family harmony, but last night during Easter dinner when he launched into "we" have killed 10,000 Iraqis, I'd had quite enough. I did not conciously link my disgust of recent weeks reviewing Kerry's anti-war statements in the 70's, but in thinking it over this morning (and not regretting speaking up) I think that is what finally pushed me--that here was smearing of our fine troops as "baby killers" just as was done back then. I was not about to sit there on Easter listening to how horrible the U.S. is. No.
He left the table when I firmly said that we have done no such thing, that the Iraqi people want us there and are happy we're there and we are doing a good thing.

Thank you for writing.
I called this Goldberg up at the Buffalo News and read him the riot act!
These liberals have very short memories and to think that this paper is in the state of NY no less...

I think there's a plan here. Another FReeper came up with it in another thread (I forget which one).
The leftist plan is this: Put out all kinds of attack garbage (9/11 Circus Commission, Kennedy Media Rages, Rooney-Tune Charges of Evil War... etc, etc, etc) and keep the conservatives (that's us) focused on these side issues, these sniping guerrilla actions while Public Enemy Number One (John Kerry) gets to stay low, stay out of the news, get rested, keep his head down.
That's the plan. It's cover fire for a weak RAT candidate who can't campaign on his own.
And we're all falling for it.
To: cyncooper
Good for you, cyncooper! That's not always easy to do, especially in family gatherings and on holidays.
My sister and her husband are pretty conservative (I can't get them to sign on as FReepers, though - they claim they're "too busy"), and voted for Bush, but even they were questioning me on Easter whether going into Iraq was a good idea, due to all the recent trouble in Fallujah, etc. Their favorable opinion of President Bush is slipping... *sigh*

I've read two threads on this and did not comment until just awhile ago.I was too stunned at first and too angry later.

To: Peter J. Huss
One indication that not all soldiers in Iraq are happy warriors is the report recently released by the Army showing that 23 of them committed suicide there last year. This is a dismaying figure. If 22 young men and one woman killed themselves because they couldn't take it, think how many more are desperately unhappy but unwilling to die.
Tragedy of College Student Suicide
NEW YORK In a five-week period this fall, three New York University students leaped to their deaths in a deadly spree that shocked the urban campus.
"One indication that not all students in college are happy academics is the article by FoxNews showing that 3 of them committed suicide in just one university last month. This is a dismaying figure. If 3 young men in just five weeks killed themselves because they couldn't take the oppression of liberal indoctrination, think how many more are desperately unhappy but unwilling to die."
Two can play this game, Mr Rooney. Your serve.
