For the few uninitiated, here's an example of the difference between straight news and opinion. Even from Salon, a pretentious refuge for snooty white liberal semi-urban hipsters - and who pretend this is straight news even if it was intended for their own demographic - inserting the word "baseless," without quotes or attribution, would even get it flagged on Wikipedia.
First, the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in not "baseless," it is well documented.
Claims of guilt by association are no less valid than if there were hundreds of government employees scattered in sensitive positions throughout the federal establishment who were (or used to be) Nazis.
There is no essential difference, and only fools believe differently.
Second, even a reader from Mars would wonder - did Rubio say it was baseless or was just the reporter's opinion?
More words from beyond the grave of Journalism.
It wasn't any kind of condemnation.
That's just Salon trying to stir up disagreement and rancor among conservatives.
Looks like it worked.
Look it up, Salon isn’t the only source of this. There is no doubt he disagreed with Bachmann. He has in the past condemned Radical Islamists, so why didn’t he just keep quiet about it??? Perhaps because Bachmann is one of the FEW who will speak up against AMNESTY???
Many people here are doing EXACTLY what Rubio, McCain and Norquist want, picking the messenger to pieces and ignoring the MESSAGE.
BY the way....I searched the title, but now I’m finding this had been posted on FR. Interesting comments!
