Aw shucks Newsweek, That's ok. Someday you'll be a real magazine and you will be able to afford some professionals.

Libspeak: "F*ck you, conservatives; we're not really sorry - we're only sorry we got caught. We'll keep on f*cking you and messing you around with sick mind games if we think we can get away with it. Which we do most of the time. We hate Bush and we hate America."

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

Its all fun and games till over 17 people get killed over their liberal agenda.

Security at the airports need to include looking for anyone
with a press pass and not let them fly.

Maybe we should write something into the patriot act to
include these domestic terrorists!

[Logical me]

In reply to your "Isn’t it time that someone with the power of law brought an end to this madness?". Are you kidding? America is becoming the land of the lawless. I'm pissed. You name me one law organization that is really working on the lawless. Law and order? Ha! Sounds cynical, well, you guessed it.

[Plutarch]

...our MSM... wants to bring down the United States of America.

That is what drives leftists. The policies they advocate are illogical and contradictory (e.g. against global warming and nuclear power.) until you realize the underlying organizing principle is to destroy the U.S. and its Government so that it can be reconstituted on their terms. And then everything makes sense.

"Carthago Delenda Est" Carthage must be destroyed.

I have been away all weekend. Has this story really been verified as false?

[Windcatcher]

We need to get conservative lawyers out to every country that saw violence, and every family that lost loved ones, and sue Newsweek out of existence. Their liability for this outrage should be staggering. The only way the libs will stop this nonsense is if they face the prospect of real liability and reciprocity.

[Brimack34]

Keeping the Abu Grab story alive for a year killed a lot of our brave man and women. Also not being united in the war cost a lot of lives. I am sorry we have such anti-american MSM and Democrats in this Country.

[26lemoncharlie]

Time to convene the House Comittee for UnAmerican Activities, and clean out the Socialist Traitors that want to undermine the US Constitution.

[MsJefferson]

I don't know -- I get a little tired of both sides playing "offended" all the time. The Democrats did the same thing when Cheney told Leahey (sp?) to f-off. When did this country get to be some kind of rated-G, politically correct basket of whiners? I think that this "manners" thing has got to stop. I'm not only defending Reid -- I'm defending Cheney, and everyone else who speaks his or her mind about how they feel. It's better than the fake stuff.

Hi Char: "And once again, our MSM has joined hands with their Taliban, Baathist and Hamas brethren. Each, in their own way, wants to bring down the United States of America."

The left (which includes most of MSM) has never gotten over how they played a pivotal role in brining down the Nixon administration as well as "forcing" us out of Vietnam.

They continue to think the can operate with impunity and immunity.

I venture to say that if we had had Rush, Fox News, the Internet (and especially Freepers) the outcome of our involvement in Nam would have been different.

We probably would have pulled out anyway, but we may have been able to save hundreds of thousand of lives in the South as well as millions in Cambodia. Thank you Kerry, Fonda, et al.

I can't believe any Freepers actually buy (much less read) Newsweek, BUT, that rag (and others) HAVE SPONSORS.

What say you, we start doing a little due diligence and see how many we can identify and start putting pressure on them by threatening a boycott of their products if they don't withdraw support and advertising in Newsweek--for starters?

Let me know and I'll do my share.

In fact, this is something I've been toying with for some time.

You know that ol saying: "Money talks and . . . . .walks!"

Remember the boycotts of those states that wouldn't jump on the Martin Luther King National Holiday bandwagon?

Well, I was thinking along those same lines for those states of (at least cities or towns within) who provide sanctuary for illegal aliens; financial institutions which are providing mortgages to illegal aliens; those banks that not only accept the Matricula Consular ID cards, but actually facilitate their being issued, such as North Shore Bank, in Wisconsin:

http://www.journaltimes.com/articles/2004/09/18/local/iq_3112949.txt

I also read (but have not had time to verify) whereby Bank of America was doing the same thing---sponsoring these types of “events.”

As an aside, while Mexico pushes for the consular ID card’s acceptance in the U.S., no major bank in Mexico lists the card among the identification documents they accept to open an account, and only ten of Mexico’s 32 states and districts recognize the card for identification purposes.

The U.S. Constitution does not permit a local or state government to decide, based on the advice or desires of a foreign government, that its own concerns override the will and intent of Congress.

In choosing to recognize the consular ID card, local governments are raising significant legal issues by exercising a form of their own foreign policy, which the Constitution reserves for the federal government under the Constitution, and are in direct conflict with federal law.

Here is a starter anyway as to some Banks that accept the MC card although I imagine that there are many more, not listed herein.

Now here is an interesting little tidbit I just ran across and somehow managed to fly completely under the radar screen.

I don’t know if you were aware of this; I certainly was not. Of course, with all that was going on last year (and my total and complete focus on exposing The Snake—a.k.a. Kerry—and working toward his defeat) it is not surprising that I missed this.

Rep. John Culberson (R-TX), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, was the chief sponsor of an amendment to the Transportation/Treasury Appropriations bill, H.R. 5025, that would essentially have prohibited the use of Mexican matricula consular ID cards for banking services in the U.S.

Now, here’s the kicker:

During full House consideration of H.R. 5025, Rep. Michael Oxley (R-OH) introduced an amendment to H.R. 5025 to strip the Culberson secure-ID amendment. The Oxley Amendment passed by a vote of 222-177, successfully stripping the Culberson Amendment from the Treasury-Transportation Appropriations bill.

Another POS RINO? Wonder how much and from where his campaign contributions came from

Anyway, you can probably see where I’m headed with this.

There probably could/should be at least two lists; one for the supporters/enablers on the war on terror—another for illegal aliens, although some (like Newsweek and others MSM outlets) would probably qualify under both categories, seeing how they are supporters and enablers of terrorists, illegal aliens and are bound and determined to undermine our country.

Wonder if this site would consider giving us a couple of threads (is that what their called?) dedicated to these two items in which all go visit and peruse as to who is being boycotted and for what reasons as well as making suggestions for adding other candidates?

Hell, I’m for boycotting countries as well. Though my Mom and Dad (and all of both their families) are from Montreal and other parts of Quebec; and though I still have relatives there; and though I used to love to visit Canada (only 50 miles from border) I not only No longer do that (and will never step foot in Canada again) but have renounced my heritage and ancestry and no longer publicize this to anyone in a “proud” manner, like I used to.

Likewise, I will NEVER step foot in Mexico again as well as some other places, such as Pain-ellas Park, Florida.

I’m certainly glad that Las Vegas and New Orleans (so far) don’t seem to qualify. LOL

If you like this idea (in part or in total) let me know and we can enlist the help of some others and see what happens?

[Lazamataz]

It's fine by me. They can keep lying, and we'll keep busting them.

They lose credibility and we gain it. What's the problem?

Newsweek must pay a criminal price for the deaths.

Definitly a civil price.

[McGavin999]

I totally agree. I think the "source" of this article should be arrested on put on trial for murder and I think little Mikey should be put on trial as well.

If there is a serious criminal investigation, little Mikey has to reveal his source. People have died as a result of this and it needs to be stopped now.

If our America-hating press continues like this they endanger the entire country.

[Dog]

First Amendment protection does not extend to the deliberate faking of a story that, in turn, has already caused the deaths of at least fifteen Afghani citizens and has further placed the lives of our military men and women in jeopardy…lives that may be lost due to this latest MSM fiasco

Question....does the First Amendment protect Newsweek here?

[Libertarian444]

Olbermann and his butt-boy Craig Crawford on MSNBC now claiming Newsweek was set up by the Bush Administration.
