Media Bias Outrage of the Week - Bill Moyers Takes Back the Flag

I've always found it helpful to realize that Moyers and his ilk believe this is the leader of "their" country...

I remember election night in November 1980, Bill Moyers was working as a commentator for CBS's election coverage. As soon as it became obvious that Carter was going to lose to Reagan by the biggest landslide in U.S. history, he started becoming hysterical. All pretense of decorum was stripped away as he began ranting and giving all of the reasons that Reagan's election would be, in effect, the end of the world. This twit has always been a quasi-Marxist, at least now he has been given the marginal status in the media that he has always deserved.

No offense to you but Bill Moyers isn't worth the time I justedwasted reading his words.

Now if we could just cut NPR and PBS from the government's tit I'd be a happier man.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Was Moyer's really working in the Johnson administration or are you just using him as an example of those liberal pieces of sh!+ Mcnamara and Johnson?

[ContentiousObjector]

And he is absolutly right,

"And the flag bestows no immunity from error. When I see flags sprouting on official lapels, I think of the time in China when I saw Mao's little Red Book on every official's desk, omnipresent and unread."

[Wavyhill]

It certainly is telling that he never even touched the flag until it became useful as an anti-American prop.

[Wavyhill]

As if it would somehow be better off if they did read it. Instead of 30 million deaths, China might have been able to have 300 million!!! Imagine the possibilities.

[Wavyhill]

Yes, he was LBJ's press secretary. (Aside: that administration seems to have attracted worse people than any other, ever. Witness Ramsey Clark). Within a year after Nixon was elected, Moyers had done a 180 and was speaking at anti-American rallies sporting the Viet Cong flag.

No administration's patriotism is ever in doubt, only its policies.

I doubted The 'Toon's administration's patriotism. How could one not do so?

When I see flags sprouting on official lapels, I think of the time in China when I saw Mao's little Red Book on every official's desk, omnipresent and unread.

How can one equate our flag with Mao's Little Red Book? One doesn't have to read the flag to understand it's meaning. All you have to do is feel what it means. I thought liberals were all about feelings over logic. The reason they don't embrace the flag is because they don't feel patriotic--they hate America. They are unAmerican.

[Cold Heat]

This guy is so freaking shameful that I cannot find the words that are strong enough and vicious enough to damn him.

Therefore, I will just let him do it himself. He is doing a fine job without me!

AAA meet CCRM; CCRM meet AAABest.

...now let's roll.

[AAABEST]

I went to the site after you gave me the URL last week.

It's so refreshing to see the right and freedom orientated groups getting off their asses for a change.

People are starting to activate, I'm loving it.

[Peacerose]

Hi, Landru!

Welcome, AAABest!

Speaking of Mao's Little Red Book, I have a copy of it! I also have a German language copy of Adolph Hitler's "Mein Kampf." Both soporific, brainwash-inducing. Mao: "Let a million flowers bloom, let a thousand schools of thought contend." Yet how many millions did Mao kill. And his Cultural Revolution which has been perfected in today's colleges and universities under the names "political correctness," "diversity," "multiculturalism." Even the preschools are being infected and infested with these liberal diseases of the soul and mind. And Adolph Hitler's sweet universal truth: "Our children are our most precious natural resource." It takes a village to raise an IDIOT, a robot of the state. Will these Clintonistas and Goretopians ever wake up? I wonder if Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore still want to DRUG American schoolchildren whom they consider to be "hyperactive, attention deficit, bipolar." Sorry for extending the discussion beyond the important flag issue. The true ideologue is obviously BILL MOYERS. Why do liberals imagine they represent the better instincts of better people everywhere??? Delusional thinking!

[E.G.C.]

Bump for CCRM!!!!!!

[Flyer]

Well, I put it on to take it back.

Got a flag?

Say the Pledge of Allegiance!

[SpinyNorman]

And be sure to say the "under God" part!!

[Peacerose]

I'm convinced that the "Little Red Book" reference is merely rhetoric meant to inflame the sheeple-types who have not bothered to find out who is really behind the anti-war movement: the pro-socialist, anti-Bush, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom cabal.

[FastCoyote]

Mao's little Red Book was self indulgent pap, I don't think anyone would hae been believes sporting a flag is self indulgent, but rather a call to support our troops.
