Somebody still watches 60 minutes?

[al baby]

The bed wetting Press dosent talk much about all of these people that got kilt either

plenty of people do. not here, but we aren't deciding this election, the "independents" are. they watch, and their brains full of mush can be persuaded by stuff like this. look at the polls.

Ed Rollins was on some CNBC show last hour - they should hire this guy. He said exactly what we have been saying, the WH has no communications strategy. Ashcroft and Mueller give a press conference, Ridge is not in the loop with them. Cheney is damaged beyond repair, he is at best a neutral factor for the Bush re-election, a slight negative perhaps.

NY Republican is a real NY Republican, I can vouch for him (I was a NY republican once also!)

What about the 80,000 Americans who die each year from hospital-acquired infections?http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/24879.htm

"According to an Institute of Medicine report last year, 80,000 people die each year in the United States from hospital-acquired infections."


Where's the balance and perspective?

[NYC Republican]

Thanks bud. We're both part of a dying breed in NY, unfortunately.

Just because you are cavalier about the losses to and of others doesn't make all conservatives as callous and biased as you.

What is disgusting is the media's disrespect for the fallen. Most of us don't need pictures to remind us of the cost. Most of us didn't need repeated weeks of prision pictures to know what was happening. The media are whores and traitors and are showing these things not out of a pure desire to inform but out of a rancid need to influence. I take great offense at having the memory of the fallen used by leftist scum.

I guess it's a lot easier than actually "reporting" the news.

What's really vile and reprehensible is the budget "60 Minutes" gets to pis$ all over the graves of American servicemen and women.

Andy Rooney and his puppet masters are scum.

[Ranger]

Enjoy your Memorial Day. It wasn' brought to you by those that died of a hospital infection. Jerk

[FlyVet]

Okay, I just watched it. Andy says we should find a way to "end the idiocy" of all this war death over the years, but Andy offers NO SOLUTION himself. He has NO RESPONSIBILITY. So, BULL$**+ on Andy. I watched the 800 faces scroll across my TV screen, so on this Memorial Day weekend, I say, all you 800, and your families, and all you who fight to keep my sorry @$$ free, THANK YOU. I got a clue for you Andy, War Happens. It always has, and it always will, until the day God Almighty decides to get tired of laughing at us all. Then it will end. And not until. The idiocy is Andy's, IMO, and he's old enough to know better than to spew that nonsense on national TV.

fatidic is a blind dumb a$$; ignore this imbecile's trash.

[STARWISE]

I WAS FLIPPING LIVID!!! I posted this last night after I saw that idiot:

" ... can you believe the inappropriate and inglorious comments he chose to make at a WWII event at the Smithsonian?? Like he's some kind of military expert because he served in WWII??? What is wrong with these people?? What is it about the GLOBAL War on Terror and the very survival of this country they don't get????!!!!!! Damn .. even Al Neuharth had to step on the whole issue and actually question if the President should actually be the Commander in Chief if he doesn't have military experience!!!!

I was SCREAMING AT THE TV!!!!! This orchestrated attack on our devoted President and the administration is so transparent .. and they just don't realize how much they're hurting our success and our troops with their hateful comments ... THEY ARE FUELING OUR ENEMIES! Dear God, what is it going to take?? I'm just sickened at what's happening before our eyes. I said a year ago that, God forbid and God help us, it was going to take another catastrophe to slap these idiots up side the head and wake them up ...and I believe that even more now.

How can they not know, especially those who have served, what it must do to our troops to read and listen to this garbage when they have to go out every day and face savage monsters with confidence and the comfort of the support of their country ?

I was cheering on the two guys who stood up and were yelling at Wallace .. chastising him that this was about WWII, not the present time. Wallace was tolerable to me before in small doses; he is now COMPLETE scum. He and Andy Rooney should just go to the old folks home together and delight each other with their expertise. JERKS!

Sorry for the rant ... this stuff with the media attack machine has gotten really old with me, and it's getting scary. Dear Lord .. please keep our brave troops solidly in your care, and keep us safe."

+++++++++++++++++++++

And I AM ALL FOR arresting people for sedition .. aiding the enemy in a time of war ... as these loose-lips pols and so-called journalists are doing with their obscene negativity, blatant show of disunity and critical comments about our President and his administration. Let's start with the two senile geezers: Mike Wallace and Andy Rooney. Boy .. I hope Rush relates this event .. GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrr.

[Rooivalk]

I am disgusted by your advocacy of the suppression of facts which undermine your cause or candidate, and address the act which you condemn, the showing of the pictures of those killed in Iraq.

After you on the left have posted flag draped coffins coming out of Iraq, read the names of our precious dead on Nightline and 60 Minutes, what do you plan for an encore?

You people who want to rub America's face in our losses seem frustrated that you have been unable to convince America to cut and run

Your cynical tricks don't seem to be working. Could it be that you have underestimated the backbone of this country?

[NYC Republican]

This was not done to honor anyone, but was a blatant anti-war propaganda statement

EXACTLY!

[Mo1]

Did they show the pictures of those who gave their all in Afghanistan ???

Or do they not fit CBS's agenda?

[Mo1]

!" I didn't see it but it made her turn the tv off- she was still mad- did anyone else see it? She was a WAVE- and my Dad was in the Navy as well - she said Al sat there speechless (smart move) and that Mark Wallace admitted he never was near any action.

I watched it .. I wanted to punch my TV .. I knew Wallace was liberal .. but I didn't realize how bitter he is and how much hatred he has for President Bush

[Texasforever]

Drama Queen award of the day.

[Mo1]

President Bush has GOT to speak directly to the people, while implicity letting Americans know that the media is misrepresenting the facts on the ground. He MUST get the message out.

Kind of hard when the media puts up their wall and refuses to air his speeches like what happened on Monday night and yet don't have a problem airing Fat Teddy's rants so the terrorists can quote him

I agree somehow he needs to work around this wall .. but it's not going to be easy

[Mo1]

Here's a little "prophecy": If we don't get rid of these Islamic nutcakes pretty soon, you really ARE going to see "missed pay in U.S. jobs, lost lives, lost limbs, etc. and the loss to families broken up for long periods of time."

Liberals can't think outside of their box
