Today we have the press freaking out about a Marine killing a wounded enemy in the heat of battle.
Just weeks ago, the press was promoting the election of John Kerry to the Presidency of the United States, even though he was awarded a medal for bravery earned by chasing down a wounded teenage boy, and shooting him in the back.
How is this consistent?
Have you forgotten the entrenched MSM Double Standard? I'd say they're pretty consistent about that. Conservative = bad; liberal = good. Small-business-owner = bad; union-thug = good. Military = bad; terorists = good. Soldier-shoots-beheading-evil-Muslim-fanatic-scum = bad; Kerry-shoots-unarmed-teenager-in-loincloth = good. That's the way it is.
(Another FReeper suggested this fine Marine claim he was distraught over Kerry's loss. The press would lap that up and make him Time's "Man of the Year.")
"How is this consistent?"
welllll, it isn't, in the least
The press should be made to CHOKE on the comparison bewteen Kerry and this one, and explain how Kerry is beyond reproach, but this incident deserves dozens of hours of air time, when they would not TOUCH Kerry's self-admitted crimes . . .
It's not consistant, it's liberal double standards
