WashPost Writer's Deception: 'Bush Mischaracterized His Iraq Critics'

August 26, 2005 | L.N. Smithee

The danger for critics is that pressure on Bush to change direction may diminish if the public considers their alternatives less attractive.

What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that this guy thinks there's a danger that the citizens of this country might actually decide they PREFER Bush's plan as opposed to some half-a$$ed trumped up proposal -- and that the DANGEROUS part is that the country might actually decide NOT to agree with them?

[Howlin]

BTW, great job, as usual.

" Rather, they are asking for a specific plan to bring the troops home, and maybe an acknowledgement of error."

Let's just call it what it is: AIDING AND ABETTING

Excellent and well-deserved Fisking of Froomkin.

How about "Froomkinized"?

[Dems_R_Losers]

The Code Pinkos also carry signs that say "Bring Them Home NOW." I'm sure there is a photo of one in the many threads of the DC Chapter FReeps at Walter Reed. Right up the street from Froomkin's cube too.

I was just checking out some of the photos from the code pink protest at Walter Reed. There is one photo of Gael Murphy standing next to two protesters with signs saying, "Stop Predatory Recruitment" and "Stop War"

Vigil my @ss.

Thanks for the tip. I just sent it off.

[L.N. Smithee]

Thanks, Howlin. I really appreciate that.

Well, you could always call it "froomkinazation"..........

Just a couple of points.

First. A REAL leader does the right thing, NOT the popular thing.

Second. If these polls wanted an honest representation of popular opinion, they would ask a third question, but the MSM doesn't like the answer, so they don't ask the question. The 3rd part of the question should be "Would you support MORE military action than being currently used against the terrorists".

My point is that many, MANY people feel that the President is a great guy, and that he is doing the right thing in the war on terror. BUT, they would like even MORE military action, even, perhaps, using some low yield nuclear weapons, if necessary...........

Say the war was a mistake and hand over the country to Al Qaeda. Hey if Iraqis get slaughtered, its none of our business.

"Ms. Dowd, who somehow won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999..."
Of course someone had to inform MoDo that it was NOT a sex toy .

[RGSpincich]

"I want him to honor my son by bringing the troops home immediately," Sheehan told reporters Saturday. "I don't want him to use my son's name or my name to justify any more killing."

Oh that Bush is a sly one. Responding directly the question and not twisting Sheehan's words. The left considers that foul play.

[FreedomPoster]

Nicely done, sir. Bravo!, and bump.
