Already my very favorite, even-tempered, calm and collected pundit, Fox's Neil Gabler, mentioned that.
Oh sure, he was cool when he said it. Very unlike his foam-filled rant of a few weeks ago which set off my temper.
"It must be remembered that the only information on this terror plot we get from the GOVERNMENT," I paraphrase Mr. Gabler.
"Which is not to say the information isn't true," sweet Neil continued with an air of moderation. "It's just that the fact that this information came from the government should be reported along with that same information that the public understands this."
Okay, so yeah.
How about this Neil? How about when the AP and REuters et al, publish so-called action pics they mention that they were staged? How about when CNNMSNBCABCCBS reports the info Hezbollah hands out that THEY mention where they got the information?
Funny I never hear the handsome pundits say "This information comes from the Hezbollah PR team it must be cautioned".
Don't get me started on those liars. It's always so one-sided with them.
But I'm not done yet.
Where else on earth would information on a terrorism bust come from? It would be government investigators that know the details sooooooo it would be the government investigators providing the details.
If the Lamebrains gave it some thought they'd get a grip on reality. Because first thing they say..."this terrorism plot is all overplayed to give the admin some oomph."
If THAT were the case, why isn't the government uncovering some "terror plot" every damn week? Bush's poll numbers would be in the stratosphere.
How about during campaign 2004....how about right when Dan Rather was concocting his "fake but accurate" documents the admin comes up with some cool terror plot to scare the voters?
More....we've got people buying cell phones by the thousands, caught by the awful Wal-Mart people. Did the government set this up? Or hey, how about England, Pakistan, somehow Bush managed to orchestrate THEIR part in his grand terror plot fakes?
Common sense. The Gablers and left of the world don't have a lick of it.
Bush does many things, other than attending republican fundraisers. This is one of those.
Neal was tag teaming with Jane Hall on doubting everything the western governments say (Neal: "after all, we've learned they don't tell us the truth") while apparently swallowing whole everything that issues from the mouths of terrorists, with nary a question.
Last week Jane gave us this gem:
... the images from this village in Qana, despite some people trying to stay it was staged — which was denied by all the news agencies — I mean, it — Israel has targeted — it appears to have been targeting children ...
She basically repeated that thought this week, lamenting (as best I can remember) that "some people are starting to doubt that this massacre happened, and that's wrong." Notice that she used the word "massacre."
I'm waiting for the transcript to be posted and then I'm writing them a hot one. Those two are simply evil.
