Morford: The Big Lie Of Jessica Lynch (the worst book you'll read this year)

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Friday, September 5, 2003 | Mark Morford (On the side of the Iraqis)

Hey, remember that dramatic CNN footage of that big statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled by U.S. forces in that Baghdad square a few months back, during the "war"? Remember how powerfully symbolic it was supposed to be?

Remember, later, seeing the wide-angle shot on the Internet, the one of all the U.S. tanks surrounding the square and the whole bogus setup of how they staged the event, complete with a big crane and some strong cable and strategically positioned "citizens" cheering their "liberation" as the statue fell, as just off camera, a handful of genuine Iraqis loitered nearby, looking confused and bored?

[opticoax]

Must have been a two-gerbil night for Mark.

[Thommas]

hehe...

[fatrat]

And despite U.S. claims, Lynch had no knife wounds or bullet holes at all, just a few broken bones

none of these claims were made by military people, they were fabricated by the liberal media.

[hellinahandcart]

here I am working every day and struggling to make ends meet

BAD choice of words, Markie. Don't hold out a straight line to straight people like that.

[eyespysomething]

Don't forget that the US gov't had to pay money to the victims because of the error in what Clinton was aiming at. The US had to pay restitution.

[presidio9]

Meg,
Jm respectfully requests that you lose the "i"
Thanks for your understanding.

[Gritty]

To put it simply, Morford is completely deranged.

[ohioman]

I wish Freepers would quit posting this socialist crap from this worthless faggott Moronford. However, I will agree that reading his articles works better than coffee. If I were a boxer or a football player I would have stacks of Moron's articles to read just before gametime.

[NavyCaptain]

He couldn't believe in his country if he tried. Reinstitute the "draft" today. "draft" this guy and send him to war. Than and only then, he might just gain some prospective on what is means to be in "danger." Naw. he's a useless case!

[aculeus]

supporting our unprovoked savagery

As someone said there are "September 10, 2001 people" and there are decent people.

[Constitution Day]

Damn, I despise him more every time he spews his verbal diarrhea.
He needs to have a nice cup of STFU.

[Tijeras_Slim]

What--no crude sexual references in a Morford column?

He usually doesn't make it past the second paragraph. This must be a first.

[Eastbound]

More sour grapes of wrath from California, huh? Can't believe he called Saddam a tyrant. He shows promise.

[CalvaryJohn]

It gives me joy to read Markie. I know that someone who writes this way is miserable, willfully ignorant, and full of hate. That combination will almost certainly lead to an early grave. Oh yeah, he's a homo. They don't generally live long anyway.

[ArrogantBustard]

Reinstitute the "draft" today. "draft" this guy and send him to war.

Hell NO!!! I would NOT want that pusillanimous little freak in my unit!!! I wouldn't even station him in McMurdo to count penguins. Heaven only knows what he'd do to the poor things...

Well, I only ready the first two paragraphs so far, and had to dispute his lie that the Iraqis aren't overjoyed with our presence. In fact, Statue Day that he refers to was April 9, and from the very beginning the Iraqis were thrilled we had finally arrived:

Note to Appeasement Activists: Iraqis Cheer U.S. Troops

Now I'll go read the rest of his hysterical (does Morford have any other style other than hysterical and vulgar?) lies.

[presidio9]

Normally I would say ignore him. I think this time we need to write and tell his editor to actually read this guys work before printing (if not more).

Ms. Morford is a treasure. Every column she writes lets America how confused and irrational liberalism really is.

[cyncooper]

all the nurses and doctors and eyewitnesses on the scene say the Iraqi fedayeen guards had fled the day before the "rescue,"

So, even this insane lunatic concedes in the midst of his rantings and raving that Iraqi fedayeen guards were on the premises of this oh-so-caring hospital.

Though I believe they fled six hours before the rescue, not the day before, and, contrary to his baseless assertion, we would have no way of knowing that.

And did I miss mention of our dead that were buried on the grounds?

[cyncooper]

What--no crude sexual references in a Morford column? Probably because it involves a woman--Morford wouldn't know anything about that.

Well, he does use the word "impotent". Perhaps a Freudian slip?

Jessica Lynch is but a puppet, a toy, a convenient TV-ready canvass onto which we can project our impotent myths of patriotism and war,

And check out his woman hating slam at Jenna Bush, who has been minding her own business:

and Jenna Bush's ostensible prowess with a beer bong,

And he talks about valuing truth. He has no concept of truth.

Wow...Morford is The Pig.
