On a sudden hush in the media
By J.R.Dunn
July 4, 2006
Is it my imagination, or is there a sudden hush in the shrieking media barrage today? Was it only yesterday that the NYT and WaPo were roaring and thundering, month after month, at President Bush and the GOP—- to surprisingly little effect? Have we run out of phony scandals yet?
Where is the Bush = Hitler crowd?
To be sure, the Kossacks are still fussing in a corner of the web. And any moment now the heavy artillery of the Left may resume lobbing shell after exploding shell at the White House, the neocons, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, not to mention Big Oil, Big Business and Big Fatty Food. It's all they know.
My intuition hints at something else. Has an email has gone out from Hillary's campaign? Has somebody run a panic poll? Has Murtha been told to shut it for now?
Maybe the Democrats just got it—- that they have now defined themselves to lose the 2006 elections. The Democrat Party stands for open treason in a time of war.
Their house journal—- the New York Times—- has made it official, by publishing secrets that will surely end up killing US agents, soldiers and allies in the field. The next big terrorist attack will point the finger of blame at our domestic Fifth Column—- the media establishment.
Where will the next terrorist hammer fall? Israel – London – New York City? Wherever it does, the guilty party is now beyond reasonable doubt in the eyes of millions of Americans.
Just to top it off, in a fit of hubris the NYT has published the home addresses of Dick Cheney's and Donald Rumsfeld, complete with a photograph pinpointing a hidden security camera in Rumsfeld's driveway. It is a plain invitation to terrorists and crazies: Go and kill these men. Here is where they live. Just drive a truck bomb past this house, or crash a private plane with half a ton of ammonium nitrate. Go ahead. We're pointing the way.
You know the reasons why—- we've riled you up, day after day, for six whole years. Now you know where they live.
We are protected by the First Amendment. We are above the law.
This administration's greatest gift is its enemies. The Attorney General could appoint a Special Prosecutor to ferret out the New York Times' spies in the CIA, State, the Pentagon, Congress. The precedent has been set by Plame-Wilson, first stoked by the NYT Editorial Page.
Spies can be sent to jail. Journalists can be jailed for hiding their sources.
My guess is that the Attorney General will never do it.
He doesn't need to.
All the administration needs is a thirty-second television ad in late September.

Zoom in on the front page of the New York Times, with a voice-over saying:
"Would you vote for these people to protect your country?"
And Cannon actually came in second place at the Utah State Republican Convention. He barely survived into the primary.
"Your willingness to...not respond to...substantive...dispute [to] your claim...with anything but childish insults, well, it speaks for itself about the strength of your contentions."
Tightened it up a bit. Now it's okay. As edited, you can apply it to the FROBL now en masse, my fellow racist xenophobe. 8)
Nice language.
I love how you folks are trying to paint a rosy picture on an utter defeat.
Hope you had a great day. So many of us keep the true spirit of what this day is all about in our hearts. Gotta hit the sack for early work shift.
In all wars there will be unjustifiable killings. Although the New York Slimes put that photo on the front page to slander our soldiers it actually showed us what is right about our military. A very very very small number of our soldiers have committed crimes. When they do they are prosecuted in a military court that will get to the truth. If innocent they will go free. If guilty they will pay for their crime.
Our enemy in Iraq exalts and celebrates and encourages the most horrific of crimes against our troops and other Iraqis. The New York Slimes exalts and is joyous when these actions take place. Al Queda has lost the military battle and can only hope to win the political battle just as North Vietnam did. North Vietnam lost that war but won via the pages of the New York Times and CBS News. This is the same game, with a different enemy overseas and the same enemy at home. The enemy at home is far deadlier than the one that is shooting at us.
Thank you, it was wordy I admit. LOL
Gingrich likes the Pence immigration plan
Newt Gingrich gives kudos to the Mike Pence immigration reform plan in his latest Human Events column: One positive addition to the border-security and immigration debate is Rep. Mike Pence's (R-Ind.) bill, the Border Integrity and Immigration Reform Act. This bill is as close to the right solution as I have seen. It sets up a four-step process starting with what is needed and universally agreed upon -- border security. Second, it does not provide amnesty for people in the United States illegally. It requires them to go home. Next, it sets up a work-visa program using electronic bio-metric security based on conservative market principles. After an American employer can, in good faith, show that no American worker will fill a job offer, a work-visa holder may be hired. The key feature is that, in order for people who are here illegally to get a work visa, they must go home, because work visas will only be issued outside of the United States. Fourth, once the program is set up, companies that continue to ignore the law will be sanctioned severely. I hope the House will take a serious look at Rep. Pence's thoughtful and pragmatic approach to solving this issue.
They won't, and it's gonna hurt them because she has gotten even MORE strident and strange. She represents the ever growing Moonbat Wing of the Democrat Party, and the more press they get, the better for the Repubs. in November.
"... the Times will fall into line - or else."
That's funny .. I have recently been thinking the same thing.
Either the NYT will give up the leaker, or Hillary may find a way to leak the information unless the NYT gets in her corner.
I don't see it that way. They're moving away from these people because THEY HAVE TO IN ORDER TO WIN .. and it has nothing whatever to do with what they believe. They really side with Murtha .. but they see it will not get votes so they will pretend they are distancing themselves .. counting on the dumbed down electorate to forget what they said last week.
The dems are NOT getting it - they simply want to win an election and they cannot if they stand with Murtha and Sheehan.
