"This thread was started as a sarcastic swipe at CBS, who you may have forgotten has not been the friend of the Troops or of the Administration." Somehow I can't work up any enthusiasm for dancing on these people's graves. Perhaps some of the folks on this thread who are doing so, should begin to wonder whether there's all that much space between them, and the nice people who did the same for the Blackwater Security folks.

I agree with r9etb on this. There is a fine line between dark sarcasm and tasteless humor. In this case I feel that the line is being crossed with some, if not many, posts on this thread. Especially if they are taken as written without the benefit of knowing the context. Tall_Texan's post is one such post (and I am not meaning this as a personal attack):

Did CBS News do this intentionally after seeing all the sympathy and interest given to Bob Woodruff? Did CBS News do this in a desperate attempt for May ratings sweeps?

Then let me explain my comments. Most of my points on this thread have been about media and leftist reaction to Cheney's shooting accident. Some on the left wondered if the shooting was a sign for some other Cheney enemy or for Scooter Libby not to speak, etc. Others claimed Cheney intentionally shot his friend to take the media focus away from the "Plamegate" media storm.

In other words, they accused Cheney and/or the Bush Administration of shooting the guy intentionally for ulterior motives. In my way, I am reflecting the same nuttiness back upon the leftists of CBS News.

BTW, I hate having to explain myself to folks who either can't keep up or who don't get the humor. Perhaps I can stalk your threads in the future so I can call you racist or tasteless. What were you expecting when you opened this thread other than to find something to become offended by?
