Comments on: Some unintentional truth at the New York Times

When Bob Dole was in the midst of his lackluster presidential campaign, there was a media dustup over the sitcom character Murphy Brown becoming a “single mom.”

Bob Dole joined many other voices deploring the aid offered up by Hollywood in undercutting our cultural values. What Dole had said, went no further than that.

Frank Rich weighed in, offering up in his column the opinion that speaking out against Hollywood as Dole had done was “anti-Semitism.”

Ever since Rich damned this American war hero who had suffered grievously fighting the Nazis with this utterly baseless slander, I have had no interest in Frank Rich except for eager anticipation of the day in which the Times will publish the scumbag’s obit.

Did you think of reading and discussing the main content of the Rich column? No. You would rather bash an errant sentence.

The link your provided on the Pauline Kael quote asserts that it’s apocryphal.

The link from Wade says it all,Tet was a disaster for the North and VC.They were killed wholesale just like Mookies boys.We lost the battle in the MSM.All we had were the big 3 networks and we all know how they can’t stand a winner.I think Mookie has one of those red dots between the eyes looking for him and he knows it.I would bet his pucker factor is on high alert.

[...] Michelle Malkin Links to this post (as always Michelle…thanks!) but isn’t buying my theory on this hyperbole: Interesting. But I’m not buying…the Democrats would never make out a war hero like General Petraeus to be some kind of liar. [...]

I don’t think that a logical human being who is familiar with the political bias behind that NIE -opinion-would agree that Iran is no longer a threat.

The problem here the use of “logical”. Leftist positions come primarily from emotion, not logic.

Now, I’ll admit that it is possible that I have not met, in person, someone who has served in either Afghanistan or Iraq. I generally don’t ask vets (or active duty) where they have served.

I do, however, say “Thank you” whenever I see one in uniform, and am teaching my children to do the same. And, since I live about 4 miles away from an ANG base, I can almost guarantee that I have thanked at least a few who have been over there.

The bad guys have a long way to go when it comes to starting another Tet Offensive. A couple of days of fighting and the Iraqi forces handed the militias their butts. It appears we are really winning over they since they are trying to spin like they did in the 60s. The only difference this time is we have other sources of news other than the MSM.

I am privilidged to work around young people that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan everyday. We still have seven souls from my squadron over there right now. From what I hear from those that have served and those there now we continue to win hearts and minds while killing bad guys every day marching towards victory no matter how badly the MSM and their liberal allies want us to lose.

Michelle, that had to have been an attempt at humor. Surely you haven’t forgotten Shrillary’s “willing suspension of disbelief” statement, right?

1. It is See-Dubya’s post.
2. The quote above was sarcastic.
