[...] Now reports are the administration has been monitoring calls made to reporters. I do not overstate the case when I say we now have a government that embodies Orwell’s nightmare. While once in the 80’s American ideology was fully rooted against communism, the notion that the government would monitor your private life, Bush and Co. now seem to be adopting the policies of the Kremlin. I would not be surprised to find that they now control news organizations as well. . .Oh wait . . .I forgot FOX News. [...]

Speaking of Christiane Amanpour, anybody seen her lately? Or her husband, Jamie Rubin?

IRI,
Oh, yeah, it’s the fault of journalists and editors that “our fighting men” (you have obviously forgotten that there are also “fighting women” out there, too) are getting shot–not lack of body armor/armored vehciles, and not enough soldiers in the first place because Rummy, etc, wanted to fight the war on the cheap.

IRI,
You seem to have forgotten (or maybe never knew) that Peter Jennings died last year, so I donâ€™t think he is getting together with Mike Wallace, who is, by the way, over 80. So much for facts.

Comment by Lora

The facts are as I stated them, both of those traitors would allow your fighting men to fall into a trap in order to uphold their “journalistic integrity”. They aren’t the only ones that would do or have done that. Many of today’s left wing reporters and editors are America hating traitors and deserve to be shot when they get anywhere near our fighting men. Obviously from the number of “journalists” that have been killed in Iraq, many of them do get shot. That’s a good thing Lora. USA! USA! USA!

Mighty hypocrite is too busy kissing mein Feurer’s rear end to document any of her unsubstantiated allegations. From her poor grammar and compositional skills I assume she must be about 12 (I wonder if her parents know that she posts on an adult blog). I also assume she’s one of the Nazi youth that gathers info on TP for the NSA.

This has got to be a lie! It was not even covered on ABC news? What’s up with that?

I would settle for Amanpour being deported – Iâ€™d even let her take hubby James Rubin with her. She reminds me of Tokyo Rose. – with a more refined, boarding school accent.

Comment by mighty aphrodite

Mighty Hypocrite,
What do you have against boarding school accents? I thought you frequently posted in favor of the private school option.
And when are you going to tell us your “reliable” sources for Mary Jo Kopechne’s supposed autopsy and your insistence that all newspaper recounts supposedly had Bush winning over Gore in Florida in 2000? I listed my sources for contrary information, but you keep on insisting you’re right, without providing any sources.

Letâ€™s face facts here folks, when Mike Wallace and Peter Jennings get together and state that given the opportunity to get a story or save the lives of soldiers they KNOW will be ambushed theyâ€™d take the story.

I’m in for ignoring MA !! I’m sick of her babble and i refuse to let her frame the argument. besides i slammed her on another thread so i feel better. :) but no really I’m ignoring as we speak!

Notice that the response was artfully worded to say that Amanpoour has never been targeted. Well, since they are keeping records on everyone, that menas they could have been keeping watch over Amanpour’s records even though she wasn’t targeted – just caught up in a wide dragnet.

Francis bacon once said “For it breeds great perfection if the practice is made harder than than the task itself” Why not repudiate poor logic, emotional rhetoric and unsubstantiated claims? This is the best of intellectual sport that exists. THIS IS THE FORUM.

Paul has a point, it would be far more damaging to Ms. MA’s ego if we ignored her posts, instead of responding. We allow her to shape the argument, not the other way around.

Frankly I believe that she craves the attention. Ignoring or marginalizing her, would be far more annoying to her, then to challenge her.

You people? Paul in Mexico who are you talking to? 6-7 commentators make up a self proclaimed quorum of decisive Liberal/Progressive commentary by respondeing to a few pathogens? Who died and left you in charge? I’m sorry and your contribution to accentuate the positive is?

Once again, you people who claim to be liberal and progressive allow a trailer trash troll to control the entire comment and respond, respond, respond. You all just cant stay on subject, can you?

#53 – Dear Wouldnâ€™tKNOW the TRuth, Progs tell me the number of terror incidents are increasing worldwide – but merciful God, they HAVE NOT increased in the US. I guess we DO live in the safest country – but you are welcome to live where you wishâ€¦.

So correlation now implies causation?

Maybe I can buy some elephant repellant and get really suprised when no elephants show up anytime in the near future!

#47, Mighty,

That’s it, just keep telling yourself that America is the safest country in the world, and to live anywhere else is dangerous.
