Liberal Media Attacks Pro-Military Book
NewsMax ^ | May 23, 2006 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 05/23/2006 4:58:27 PM PDT by redstateone

The Washington Post raised eyebrows when it assigned Ann Scott Tyson to review former Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger’s posthumously published new book, "Home of the Brave: Honoring the Unsung Heroes in the War on Terror."

Weinberger’s last work has already been widely praised by former Secretary of the Navy John F. Lehman, the 28th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, General P.X. Kelley (ret.), the 2.4 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and conservative media superstar Sean Hannity...

The MSM attacking our men and women in uniform and Caspar Weinberger...

Now why does that sound familiar?

"Frankly, having Ann Scott Tyson review a pro-military book is like having a fan of the Boston Red Sox review the New York Yankees.”

Question: Do the MSM loath the military? If so, why?

1) Yes.

2) Remember the Clinton years?

In 1992, the liberal media attacked "The Real Anita Hill," and it made a fortune. In 1996, the liberal media attacked "Unlimited Access," and it made a fortune. In 1998, the liberal media attacked "High Crimes & Misdemeanors," and it made a fortune.

We all should be happy that the liberal media is attacking "Home of the Brave"

If you want to see what liberals really think about the military, go on Huntington Press (I believe that is the name) and read some of the downright vile posts on there. The overwhelming sentiment is that the military is filled with a bunch of low-lifes that had no other options and enjoy killing civilians and love their Republican masters for allowing them to do so. I wanted to register and point out all of their fallacies and hypocritical assertions, but I realized I would only be raising my blood pressure.

Reminds me of what Rush said the other day about illegal immigration critics:

"My friends, we know we're winning when they are attacking us."

So very true. There is no greater compliment, I suppose.

Unbelievable.

But where did all this begin? Seriously. How did it ever get this way?

It started back in the 60's. Liberals generally loathe the military, and most will not hesitate to admit this, although since 9/11 it's been rare to see them so blatantly hateful of our armed forces.

'...liberal media is attacking "Home of the Brave"'

Literally and now, figuratively.

The Washington Post has no use whatsoever for the United States of America.
The scumbags at that paper are still rooting for the USSR to win the cold war.

Well that, then, explains why they would hate the final book by Cap Weinberger--he and Ronald Reagan WON the Cold War!

Not Liberals, but Marxists. They've done a number on the U.S. public little by little. The Soviet Union said 4 decades ago ago they'd bury us without firing a shot. They've succeeded in their plan of coopting the nation's opinion making voices. Soviet Union has not fared so well, but their plan to take down the U.S. never stopped.

Though they would never admit it, probably not even to themselves, MSM reporters know that the average soldier has a strength of character that they themselves could never possess and hate them for it.

Yes, sadly, I know about the pathetic anti-military stuff. Very much aware, in fact: retired USAF and have worked as a DoD contractor since retiring.

The good news is that we fire the malcontents, quickly.

If you are not "pro-military", then you are looking for a new job. Example: one dude announces, after being hired, that he really wants to be a she. See ya.

And we maintain the military for ....what....these Lib a$$holes to bad mouth the members.

Veins popping out now......got to go.....
