"Hunter Scolds MoveOn.org For Criticizing Top U.S. Iraq Commander

Typical MSM dishonest headline - this is what the media does all the time. When a conservative points out absolutely outrageous and deranged behavior by the left, the MSM will portray it as saying "oh, so we're not even allowed to 'critize' anyone"...... they make it sound like a simple free speech issue when the reality is that the the CONTENT of what the leftists said was vicious, deranged, and dishonest. It's not that they're being attacked for mere 'criticism' it's that the specific content of that criticism is so despicable, so over the top, that it's beyond the pale of decent civilize people.

OTOH, if a conservative makes a thoughtful, considered criticism of the left the MSM often goes into frenzied meltdown mode, calling it "bashing" and grossly exaggerating and distorting what was said.

These are just some of the ways that the dishonest MSM continually slants news in favor of the left and against decent, honest Americans.

The did the exact same thing with Romney and Thompson when they made similar statements against the lunatics on the left.

One of the things that I hated to see at the debates the other night was the candidates savaging themselves over the Petraeus report. Yeah, Romney caught the brunt of it, and I’m a Romney fan, but he was the one who set things up right.

Had they orchestrated things well, they could have remained a bit hesitant to give their opinions on the troop surge until General Petraeus actually gave his report and demanded the left did the same.

When the Schumers of the world went running for camera, it would have been a great time to unload on them as being utterly ridiculous to pretend to know more than the commanders of US forces.

EX:

“I’m not sure who Charles Schumer thinks he is, but I for one do not pretend to be more knowlegeable assessing a military conflict than a Four Star General. Common sense and courtesy dictate you wait to see what he says on the matter before you weigh in on it. Some of our esteemed Senators obviously seem lacking in those qualities.”

It was more than criticism too. MoveOn took out a full page ad. I thought about scanning it and uploading it. Instead, I put it on the bottom of the critter cage.

Good enough place to bump this thread.

Hmmmm. Sounds like the groupies on certain other threads around here.
