Feb 27, 2005 Bush's Willing Sycophants

http://www.counterpunch.com/roberts02172005.html

"The conservative media will never recover from its role as Chief Sycophant for the Bush administration. Journalists who demanded that Clinton be held accountable for a minor sex scandal (Monica Lewinsky) and a minor financial scandal (Whitewater) now serve as apologists and propagandists for the Bush administration's major war scandals."

The situation, in other words, is out of control. One hundred fifty thousand American troops are tied down by a few thousand lightly armed insurgents. The recent Iraq election was won by Shi'ites allied with Iran. U.S. casualties continue to mount, and our troops can seldom tell friend from foe.

"President Bush's invasion has turned Iraq into a recruiting and training ground for anti-U.S. terrorists..

Why isn't Bush looking for a way out of the greatest strategic blunder in American history? Why, instead, are Bush and his government doing all they can to spread the conflict into Syria and Iran?"

October 15, 2004 The Brownshirting of America

http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts10152004.html

"Bush's conservative supporters want no debate. They want no facts, no analysis. They want to denounce and to demonize the enemies that the Hannitys, Limbaughs, and Savages of talk radio assure them are everywhere at work destroying their great and noble country."

"These are the traits of brownshirts. Brownshirts know they are right. They know their opponents are wrong and regard them as enemies who must be silenced if not exterminated."

"Today there is no one to correct a lie once it is told. The media, thanks to Republicans, has been concentrated in few hands, and they are not the hands of newsmen. Corporate values rule. If lies sell, sell them. If listeners, viewers, and readers want confirmation of their resentments and beliefs, give it to them. Objectivity turns listeners off and is a money loser."

**** READ some of his articles and there is no doubt PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS is anti-Iraq war and a Bush Basher all the way. And this latest article is nothing more than another (transparent) attempt at trashing the Bush Administration's Iraq war policies.

But, is it possible that a person can virulently hate President Bush and still be right about his economic numbers?

Bush's Willing Sycophants

Does the shoe fit?

"Bush's conservative supporters want no debate. They want no facts, no analysis. They want to denounce and to demonize the enemies that the Hannitys, Limbaughs, and Savages of talk radio assure them are everywhere at work destroying their great and noble country."

Darn, I wish I could fit this into a tag. :o(
