If a battle ends with Americans killing a hundred guerrillas and terrorists, while sustaining ten fatalities, that is an American victory. But not in the mainstream media. The headline is more likely to read: "Ten More Americans Killed in Iraq Today." This kind of journalism can turn victory into defeat...

cool nickname.

I've learned a lot reading here. My wife is a communist (literally) daughter of Soviet born parents. So to hear real dialouge from people living in political reality helps my sanity.

On the other hand ? a lot of people has some serious dirt on Kennedy also.
His father was a NAZI sympathizer and had business connections with the NAZIS And the whole world knows he's the AQUA BOY from Massachusetts who drives cars into rivers.

"Has the Main Stream Media been committing Treason?"

Oh you're tricky! This is a rhetorical question, right?

Koppel is a jerk off of the highest order.

The entire Air Anti-america radio station should be silenced until our troops are pulled out. Thay are nothing but cheerleaders for terrorists and Baathist. (redundant)

[jveritas]

If someone is aiding and abating the enemy he or she is a traitor according to the US Constitution. Kennedy, Kerry, Hillary, the liberal Democrats, the American left, and the DLM are all aiding and abating the enemy by putting down our troops, by attacking our President on Iraq and calling it Bush Vietnam, by having the same goals as the terrorist regarding our mission in Iraq, by telling the terrorists in Iraq that they are winning against us, and on and on and on.

Of course these people are traitors and in the old times they will be found guilty as the traitors they are and punished by death, unfortunetely this is not happening anymore, they will cry that it is their freedom of speech to do what they are doing.

Now that's a question I can answer with one word

Agree..That's just my friends theory. I do wonder how no one has told him to shut up yet in a public forum . He is out of control with his comments .

[WorkingClassFilth]

Beautiful collection and a beautiful post! Too bad it all applies to our 5th columnist 4th estate.

" I pose the question , what would be concidered TREASON in modern America right now ?"

It hasn't existed since John Kerry met the Viet Cong in Paris.

[hineybona]

yep..thats totally true..So ..what WOULD one have to do in this society , now , to be concidered by the democratic party to be a traitor ? I really cant imagine what . They seem to have NO LIMITS any friggin thing goes , ANYTHING .

[Prophet in the wilderness]

If Kopple cared so much about those in IRAQ who are still without water or electricity, Then why don't he HIMSELF go there and fix the generators and water infrastructures, while at the same time having to deal with the Terrorist trying to shoot at you ?

[PISANO]

You can rest assured that if/when a Democrat takes the White House the headlines will reflect victorious battles in the way described.

[hineybona]

Yea, I think you're right buddy ..Sad huh ?

[SandRat]

Do you really need the answer to that one? They've not stopped since Tet of '68.

[WorkingClassFilth]

You mean she holds a Marxist world view or do you mean she was raised to be a communist? Enquiring minds want to know.

[TheDon]

Who could it be, that is committing treason?

[captain anode]

The FBI FILES on some Republicans is blackmail by Hilary Clinton. It only takes a few votes to change a close outcome. If we are serious about good government than we can not tolerate any form of treasonous abuse!
