Bill Press you're an unmitigated a$$wipe for comparing the general to Hannibal Lecter. That general is a true patriot. You're best luck is that Sean gave you time tonight to show the world that you're a butthead. Oh yeah you're book is crap too.
OOPS--has=had
The HAD a show, now it is gone, now both of them are gone from CNN and MSNBC. Boy you have scraped the bottom if you get fired from MSNBC, don't you?
Uh-oh, I think Ollie North was on MSNBC at one time, I wouldn't call HIM a loser---
I have seen Press in the past and couldn't take 3 sec of that POS. Do say anything bad about our great Marines makes my blood boil. My dad was a Marine and was at Iwo in the 4th Marine Division. He always told us the democrats want to destroy this country. God rest his soul, he was right. If I ever run into that Press POS, I will make sure he gets true justice. He is typical of the left.
CNN made the girly-man, metrosexual, famous. I can't believe I used to watch them so much just a few years ago. I knew I was being brainwashed but I didn't let them get to me.
Hunt didn't spend any time with Mattis on Task Force Ripper during Desert Storm and wasn't riding with Mattis in his HUMVEE during the invasion of Iraq, did he?
I am sooooooo glad you were able to avoid being sucked into metorsexualand, CNN---
The other FReepers and I might never have gotten to know you if you had succumbed. he he
I was wondering if anyone was going to respond what I posted regarding Col. Hunt's remarks----
I am so glad that you can dispell his description of a man that had NEVER been in a battle, let alone killed anyone. I found his remarks very disrespectful, but, he contends that he "knows" General Mattis, and I had no reason to believe otherwise.
Thank you for responding---
My liberal upbringing makes me the conservative that I am. I have seen all the damage that lifestyle causes and say prayers thanking God for keeping me alive through it all. I was always a conservative deep down, I went Disco just to get away from the morons in the rock scene.
I was born in Boulder, Colorado and lived there until my senior year in high school. I then moved to Texas---
I hated Texas at first but I truly believe it saved me from becoming a commune living, hippie liberal activist, like say
Ward Churchill!!!
The university is beautiful and so is the town of Boulder, BUT, it is very ugly in its radicalness (prolly not a word, but if Bush can make up words, so can I).
I agree wholeheartedly with you about Bill Press. Thank God the U.S. military isn't run by girliemen like him!
Same here.
You're being much too diplomatic!
But then again, we'd get a 36 hour suspension by the Mod for posting our true assessment of the esteemed Mr. Press.

Admittedly, this brief resume' does not go into a lot of detail, although he appears to have combat experience in 1991 as a battalion CO at the rank of LtCol. Combat Marines were pulled out of Vietnam by 1972 I believe. Personally, I was there in 1967-'68 and released from active duty at the end of 1969. Anyway, from 1972 to 2004 is 32 years, and it's certainly conceivable that a current General Officer would not have served in Vietnam. The current Commandant, Gen. Hagee, did serve briefly there toward the end of the Marine engagement. Anyway, contemporary/peer testimonials to his leadership capabilities are good; therefore, I'll forgive a bit of bravado and give him the benefit of a doubt and stand by my statement that his leadership is needed; and, that any perceived indiscretion should be forgiven. These people get enough harassment by the MSM and other 'Rats.
to Monica Crowley's sister.
Bill Press has been a moron since the days when he had that Saturday radio show that nobody listened to in L.A. ten years ago. How he got any further is a mystery.
It would be hard for me to think of Bill Press writing a book. The guy is really a void. Perhaps he has the money to hire a ghost-writer.
Yikes. That's rather pathetic. Russert's become a waste of time. I don't even bother watching anymore.
Well, if they want to go that route, then they should present some people from A.N.S.W.E.R. and let the American public REALLY KNOW what the left is all about.
I find it hard to believe he's capable of writing anything. Depends though. Mein Kampf was written by Hitler himself and horrible but a lot of people loved it because it was about hatred. Maybe that explains all these Bush bashing books. It's Saturday and I still think he's a moron.
