Look, I think what they did is wrong, but it's ignorant and ludicrous to call them out-and-out "commies," -- even if, say, they did this, on purpose, and their only intent is to bring down the current administration. They may be "commies" for other reasons -- but somehow I doubt, and have a hard time holding the ideas of "commies" and "limosine liberals" in my head.

Don't get me wrong -- I don't agree with their program, but you're being as sensational as they were, by calling them "commies." I agree with you that if, en masse, people think they should be shut down boycott them or their advertisers, cancel their subscriptions -- whatever. It's called personal responsibility, and they have every right to do so.

Their intent is the intent of all liberals to reduce US power, and to empower the "world community".

Why else run a story about the interrogations of enemy prisoners?

To help in the US defeat, so we will never try war again.

It is not ludicruous, that is what they are, the lot of them. It is why China and Russia and Joe Galloway and newsweek editors and TV anchors and half the democratic party are as one that Bin Laden is righter than George Bush, the latter is the greater enemy to civilization, the American soldier is the villain, everything the US does it immoral, its power is the focus of evil in the modern world, and all the rest of it. What planet are you living on? They have been screaming themselves hoarse since months before the invasion of Iraq, in chorus. They run over their own principles and standards and reach over backwards to lie to further this cause, in lockstep.

Why, because they are commies - meaning they are exactly the sort who believe it is horrible that a capitalist country runs half the world, that the US wins wars against terrorists instead of being destroyed by Fanonesque revolt. They've been lionizing the same murderers for the same political reasons since Stalin, through Castro and Mao and Ho Chi Minh, Arafat, and now this crowd of Islamicist nutjobs. That whole time, they never met a pack of murderous enemies of the US they wouldn't worship, a tyrant they wouldn't suck up to and take baksheesh from, or a US soldier they wouldn't smear. They are commies. Learn it, live it. Yes that means toss Newsweek, it has no reason to exist, it contributes nothing to the world, it should shut up and go away. It means far more than that, in addition. It means watch them, they are still up to it and will still be up to it tomorrow. They are out and out commies. That variety of hard core no principles radicalized hater has taken over the modern left in both Europe and America.
