I said this before, but I really hope this "supposed" 50/50 election is an American blowout, giving the anti-American Democrats a wake up call letting them know that Americans are sick of their tearing down everything in this country. Of course these media elite would be completely dumbfounded and at a loss for an explanation. DKK
The leftists hate the military just slightly less than they hate GW Bush.
Gail Sheeny from Vanity Fair? My guess because of remarks I heard her make on an anti war activist radio show from the Bay area a couple of weeks ago. This sounds like her.
This is despicable beyond belief, and these people are frightening me.
It's beyond stinking, it's a public health hazard.
Also remember, contributor to FOX news Ellen Rattner stated this prior to the war on Iraq. If the war goes well, it will be good for the President. If the war goes bad, which I hope, it will hurt the Pres.
Brit Hume asked her if she wanted the military to have a bad time. She said-well, I think he needs to go.
Unfortunately though, Nixon;s 1972 Electoral blowout did nothing to impede liberalisn. The liberals of today reached their formative years about the time of the 1972 landside.
I guess Iraquis don't have the credentials to live on the Liberal plantation.
I'm a sports reporter for a major daily newspaper. Even most of the people in the prominent sports media, who probably don't know who the vice-president is, despise Bush and wish for almost anything that would end his presidency. Believe me, the major media boasts the most arrogant group of people in our culture. You'd be surprised at how stupid most of them are...The one thing they do realize...This nation is at a crossroads--will their anti-God, amoral, elitist worldview prevail, or the God-fearing worldview which most of us on Free Republic hold?

Disgusting. Reverse the rolls and this would be as if the American right were rooting for our Iranian hostage rescue attempt to fail in order to remove President Carter.
...And it is safe to say that no American Journalist, no...no American at all, on any side of the spectrum said any such thing back then.
Because wishing for an American military *defeat* in order to overthrow an American President is tantamount to treason.
That's not democracy. That's not how a Republic works.
The American left is treading on thin ice here.
People do understand that, in relation to history, we just got there! Do Americans today have the patients to realize this?

I know it makes the left ( especially journalists ) all warm and fuzzy to think the war in Iraq has turned out to be a disaster but they're full of manure. If they ever took a military history course and used their one brain cell to think they would know that it's one of the most successful campaigns ever. Of course things aren't perfect, no war ever is.
What about the media's upcoming disaster when Kerry loses bad in November? Most papers and TV news have been bleeding red ink thanks to their constant liberal slant. Good businessmen wold be taking steps to get their readers and viewers back, but they wont do anything about it until after the election. By then it will be too late as the most accurate section of the news will be the weather. I expect massive firings then of editors and liberal journos who are dragging their profits down.
They pray for the terrorists to win...never doubt it for a moment. It's going to be up to us to make sure that President Bush is not defeated in November.
Hearsay and unnamed sources....don't we usually dismiss these things at FR?
"In an opinion piece for the Spectator magazine of Britain, Harnden said at poolside he "was accosted by an American magazine journalist of serious accomplishment and impeccable liberal credentials"
Liberal and Accomplishment should never be used in the same sentence.
Newsweek?...Time?...This woman is an enemy of our troops, an enemy of the Iraqi people and my enemy and there are just so MANY of them...She wants America to fail because of Bush?..What hatred, what ignorance.
"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
