This is quite misleading since it isn't really the military asking for his resignation at all, but that doesn't stop Fox and others from running with the story today. But...what real affect will this have on voters? Since that is their obvious goal.
Pass it on--this editorial view is very misleading and does not represent the conservative, majority military point of view.
It will confuse and demoralize some.
Gannet and CNN make the National Enquirer look good.
These "Military Times" mags are also screaming socialists from what I recall of seeing some of their past articles posted. They are far from even the usual biased standards of the MSM..... yes, the attempt is to make it seem like all the major "military" publications are calling for Rumsfeld's head, when in fact these are really, as you note, ONE civilian publication, owned by Gannet.... and (as I note) dominated by raving leftists. In reality, this is about as significant as Charlie Rangel making the same statement, but the MSM is trying to milk it.....
As for the mal-cons. To hell with them.
So..this is their last-minute "surprise"?
It's really USA Today, circulated under military titles with no association to any branch of the military at all.
Yeah sure. So the socialist, seditious weasles drop one final bomb over the weekend so that no radio talk shows are around to debunk it (Limbaugh, Hannity, Boortz).
So with all the networks / newspapers playing this up, it'll be entrenched in people's minds before Monday.
Greg Kelley was talking this morning about the fact that these 'newspapers' are owned by Gannett, and not the military. It may have pained Greg to say that, but he did.
...had better be ready for mass subscription cancellations. Can't believe they're idiot enough to want to join the Bush-bashing MSM in securing their own extinction.
Probably. But of course, we conservatives are just silly for thinking the media has a left slant. /sarcasm>
Ug, horrible formatting on that blog. Each line is about one word long, making it tedious to read. Nevertheless, I suspect I share their sentiments. The various Times papers are no longer the papers they once were--we haven't subscribed for decades now. This editorial was despicable, and despite their claims that they didn't want to influence the elections--they sure did put the editorial out just one day before the election. Scum. Pure scum.
Silly us, I mean it was Steven Colbert of all people who arrogantly reminded us extra chromosomed conservatives that "reality has a liberal bias".
/arrogant liberalism
bump
gracias.
Great work.
The Army Times is a weak joke compared to The Officer.
So this may actually impact the election? I really don't understand why it would.
