He was stating that the American public opposes the war.

The big lie that both the DBM and dems are trying to push.

They're shameless. I hope the polls turn around. I think they are. Now, we know the DBM lies about the polls, or at least seriously fudges the numbers of partisan questionees, concocts leading questions, and misreports the results. So how will they hide any change in the actual numbers if support for the War goes up?

They're already at the bald-faced lie stage. I guess more of the same, huh?

Example: This morning I read in my local Gannett-owned rag the AP story on yesterday's protests in Wash DC. (This is the story that goes out across the nation to those cities, town, and hamlets that can't afford their own national level reporters.) They stated "Anti-war organizations estimated over 100,000 people protested yesterday, although the permit cited only 10,000 would protest." Now, does that sound like 100,000 or 10,000 showed up? Shouldn't reporting clarify, instead of obsficate? Fact was, others (CNN, Fox, CSPAN) were reporting less than 10,000 protesters were there against the war, with 1,000 at least for the war (GOE II, FReepers). I guess AP can't find a reporter who can count or actually enquire about the numbers, so they're left actually quoting the propaganda of the commie organizers. That's what happens when your agenda and the facts collide. And that's what the AP has become--liars. Yet they are THE NEWS for most of the newspapers in this land.

This means their propaganda is not working. So Fat Timmy Russert, already known as a liar (Libby case), has to lie to get people to come along to his view. as I said--shameless.

the original article is behind the NYT pay per view firewall

I would love to know how many people are actually dumb enough to pay to read that swill.

The Turning Point

War In Iraq: Years from now, people will look back on last week as truly historic. It began with Gen. David Petraeus’ fact-filled account of our success on the ground, and it ended with President Bush making the case, stronger than ever, for finishing the job.

I love the knots the Dems have tied themselves in with their own talking points. They want us to only fight Al Qaeda...but Al Qaeda is in Iraq. Then they argue that what’s going on in Iraq is a civil war but now it seems the only ones the Iraqis are fighting is Al Qaeda.

It’s interesting how some Dems in congress condemned the ad but none of their Presidential candidates have.

Funny you mention that. The Silky Pony is hiding behin his wife's skirt again.

The MSM really doesn’t think attacking a general’s integrity is a big deal. Another indication how out of touch they’ve become.

been there, not able to do that real well, either.

Make sure to go get checked out. You don’t want to let something sit there without treatment if it’s needed.

hope you feel better

It’s interesting how the foreign papers seem to have a better grasp on these subjects than our domestic ones do. Of course the primary objective of our media is to give the Dems cover so I guess it shouldn’t surprise me.

Speaking of Senator Swimmer, see this thread for some Sunday morning laughter at FReeper replies.

And he also said he knows the Moveon people when he was asked to comment on their ad that the NYT ran about Petraeus.

It’s like preparing all week to play a football game and expecting to face the backup QB. Then as the game starts to their horror they see the star QB break the huddle.

Is this the same article? This one appeared in one of our local Gannet-owned fishwraps.

Thousands March in D.C. War Protest

And it's no wonder their circulation's in the dumper.

Matt Bai, of the NYTimes Magazine just said on cspan that GWB campaigned in 2000 on changing the tone in Washington - and he did - not for the better!!! The polarization that now has drifted all the way down to the local level is Bush’s fault!!!!!

UNNbelievable!

This journalist is trying to comport himself as non-partisan, but that statement just gave away his bias.

The dinosaur media is all over the new Greenspan book because it criticizes the Bush administration.  What I heard once, and only once, is that one of Greenspan's main complaints is that Bush's strategy of non-confrontation in order to "geta along," IOW to change the tone, was a huge mistake.

I agree.  That's why I hope he nominates Ted Olsen for AG.

You can be sure, my friend, that you were very much on my mind.

When I awoke it was clear that nature had done its job. I think I am back to normal...whatever that would be for me :)
