Nahh.. I read enough.

[Moose4]

To these people, there is no difference between America and a murdering bastard like Zarqawi. It sickens me.

Perhaps they'd prefer we booed and hissed.

Somebody important make..THE CALL. Let the roundup begin.

[BaBaStooey]

When a mass murderer is captured by police, I find the TV coverage to be a little too pro-innocent people.

[ClearCase_guy]

I admit that I was pleased when the Nazis failed to push our guys off the beach on D-Day.

Should I apologize for that?

[The Blitherer]

You see, the Scrappleface article just a few posts back wasn't even that much of a parody- its just a mirror of trash like this.

[Zenith]

The US Senators and Congressman will take part in the

Eulogy, and all the Funeral arrangements.

They are losing a Good Friend .

[Question Liberal Authority]

This guy would have REALLY hated VJ day.

[dighton]

Good Lord, where do they find these weenies?

[Thom Pain]

Couple of the peaceniks that send us Sarbanes and Mikulski year after year.

Obviously, the liberals in the press are very depressed over the loss of Zarqawi, their "heroic and courageous freedom fighter." I find it odd that these two pixies are complaining about this while, at the same time, they are working for the same MSM that ALWAYS reports deaths and unfortunate events in Iraq "with marked enthusiasm, verging on inappropriate glee." Hypocrites!!!!

[RebelBanker]

What do you expect from the Baltimore Pravda, the official spokes-rag for the VERY liberal Maryland Democrat Party?

[Argus]

Like I've been saying, it won't be long before these hate America loons will be wearing the bastard's picture on their t-shirts as the new Che.

[headstamp]

"As happened with the capture of Saddam Hussein and the "shock and awe" bombing of Baghdad, some American news organizations yesterday covered the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi with marked enthusiasm, verging on inappropriate glee. "

What planet is this writer from? The MSM is busy downplaying or being dragged kicking and screaming or outright spinning the story as one of "tragedy" this poor man was killed as it will do nothing for the current state of affairs in Iraq.

[Billthedrill]

The question of whether to use footage provided exclusively by the government "is a familiar problem for us," Leonard said.

That isn't a problem with footage provided exclusively by, say, anyone with a grudge against the U.S. military. In fact, if it isn't there, they'll make it up, as in the London Times posting a picture of people murdered by insurgents in a Haditha story. That stuff gets out there unchecked and uncriticized.

[RexBeach]

The gentlemen who wrote this "piece" think, apparently, that when an arch enemy of America and the Iraqi people is killed it should be reported in a "measured way." Nonsense. The death of this scumbag was a superb achievement and we should take no mean degree of satisfaction in it.

It seems that these fellows from the "Baltimore Sun" have little perspective on history. America was born by war and maintained by waging wars - many of those wars weren't pretty conflicts but they needed to be fought nonetheless.

There are evil people in this world, and if they are allowed to prosper we are in deep peril.

"Journalists" should know that. Shame on them.

[N. Theknow]

What does Zarqawi's death REALLY mean?

One less FAX phone picks up on the DNC talking points memo broadcast.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran just coincidentally picked today to adopt a new "Maybe I should just STFU" policy.

A day without Zarqawi is like a month without Couric.
