Yet had this been retired generals and admirals critical of Clinton, Gore or Kerry in time of war, the vast majority on this forum would be applauding the actions of the "brave military men and sailors coming forward with the abuses of the military". Frankly, go back to Bosnia and you would probably see that type of support.

We can't have it both ways folks.

What you are saying may very well have merit, but the thread is basically about a fair interview by a member of the MSM. The distinction being that the MSM claims to be "unbiased", but clearly shows a strong liberal bias. Whereas FR is clearly a conservative site and does not claim otherwise.

You are falling into the trap. . the "we are having it both ways" gambit that is an illogical twisted tactic of the left. It is never more effective than when conservatives themselves begin to mouth the same line. . .rubbish!

Deal with the facts. . .here's just one to chew on: Bill Clinton: "I loathe the military."

Her most notable contributions to the discussion were to invite her guest to take a shot at Pres. Bush as long as he was at it, and to ask why he didn't come out sooner with his criticism so he could have 'shaped public opinion far earlier.'

We're only supposed to see it "their way". Going after Clinton, Gore or Kerry is not in the best interests of the MSM.

We'll never know because Clinton was risk averse. He didn't have the backbone, nor did any of his SecDEFs, to do what Bush has done. By the way, there were active duty officers who criticized Clinton and paid for it with their careers. They didn't wait until they had retired.

Had Zinni publicly criticized Clinton while on active duty instead of waiting until after he retired he might be receiving more respect today. Although considering his anti-semitism along with his other ulterior motives that is unlikely. Same goes for the cabal attacking Rumsfeld. These officers followed the path of convenience not the path of conscience.

Sure we can. This is a partisan site. By its very nature the media is supposed to be objective and unbiased while functioning as reporters. Free Republic doesn't, nor does it need to, make that claim.
