if you say something we don't like to hear we don't have to listen or watch you.




My only quibble w/this is the statement:..."we don't like to hear...". This wasn't about preferences, it was about truth. It was also about the final straw of anti-Americanism from CNN, the elite indifference to the safety of our troops and the eventual normalization of the Middle East, especially Iraq.

I am encouraged, not only because of the quick response of the blogosphere, but because the response was, perhaps for the first time, joined by some of the most far left Senators and Representatives.

I am an adult. If the people and policies that I support are wrong, I want to hear every side. But when someone tosses off gratuitous lies, I want to have good solid facts to back up my not wanting to listen. I also appreciate when those with a voice and some credibility expose the lies and the agenda.

This is the thought I was trying to get across. Thank you for clearly stating what I was not clear about.

Having a major "Wish I'd said that" moment. Well done.
