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?

No need to explain your self; I understand perfectly where you are coming from and why you posted your comment. My cynicism over the drive-by-media's coverage of the Iraq war and their treatment of the troops is as intact as yours is. And that's what this entire thread is about.

But, I'm looking at the bigger picture. Comments on this thread, taken out of context from the point of this thread, will be used on numerous blogs and in editorials/opinion pieces in an attempt to show how heartless, uncaring, insensitive, blah, blah, blah, we right-wing people are. I'm as fed up with the media as are the rest of us but at this time I say step back. In my opinion and that of several others on this thread we should express our condolences and, notwithstanding the collective disdainful behavior of the press toward the men and women of the armed forces, we should not let our anger be directed at a news organization whose members are grieving at this time.
