This rises from the same sick, twisted, anti-American, communist mentality that gave Michael Moore films awards for his propoganda hit piece on a U.S. President. I would just be nice if these people would just leave this country and go find a communist s***-hole to live in to satisfy their need for anti-Americanism and a socialist environment.

America is for Americans. Not anti-Americans.

Seattle policeman['s] shooting of black drug dealer Erdman Bascomb was determined to have been a justified if tragic use of force.

I'm not familiar with this story, but I fail to see how a police officer's justified shooting of a criminal could be thought of as "tragic."

But they're religious missionaries. They have to spread the word, and bear witness.

Because the cop mistook the TV remote in the dealer's hand for a gun. Hit the link, and read the story.

Mapes got the award , but Dan Rather certainly deserves it also.
Mapes was a POS allright, but certainly Rather is worse.

Mapers will be back the liberals wont let a confirmed fanatic go off in the sunset when they can use her.

" It would have been news if Bush had no strings pulled on his behalf, given his family's position."

Ya, sure. Get your shots in with no worry of contradiction.

'"In spite of everything, full or adequate reports appeared in the [British papers] the Manchester Guardian and the Daily Telegraph; [the French papers] Le Matin and Le Figaro; 'In the United States, wide-circulation newspapers printed very full firsthand accounts by Ukrainian-American and other visitors (though these were discounted as, often, appearing in "right-wing" journals)" You have to love that last line. Sounds like the reasoning of the MSM for squashing the Swift Boat story last year. The more things change, the more they stay the same and the only thing that will fix this is a "Nuremburg" for Communist perps of genocide and there are still plenty of them alive.

I'm waiting to see when and where she comes up for air. The UN could use a good propagandist "PR person" these days.

The "compassion" that I once had for uninformed leftists, America haters, disadvantaged "minorities" and hyphenated Americans -- has been replaced with contempt....

They have worn out any "right" to special considerations...
They have become the "enemy within"...

It's tragic for the police officer only.

Mapes got the award , but Dan Rather certainly deserves it also.

You're right, of coure. Of late, I hear that he has backtracked from his Rathergate apology, and now says he has nothing to apologize for. Have you heard thge same thing, or did I get the story wrong?

Mapes was a POS allright, but certainly Rather is worse.

Don't know about that. How do you say that one socialist media hack is worse than another? I can't answer that one; that's for a higher pay grade to decide.

Mapers will be back the liberals wont let a confirmed fanatic go off in the sunset when they can use her.

I'm sure you're right about that, but they will wait until they think the commotion has died down, perhaps just after Dano's March 9 retirement. The media org that hires her doesn't want a bunch of negative publicity shone on it, as soon as it hires her.
