THIS JUST IN: The body count remains Ted Kennedy 1, Veep 0.

I understand it is something major when the VP injures another, especially in a hunting accident, but the consiracy theories are coming from idiots out there and that includes the MSM, that are not wanting to actually report the news but create something more out of the time it took them to get the news released to them.

What sells more?

* Vice President Cheney accidentally shoots hunting companion….

or slanted / sensationalism like this…

* Vice President Cheney shoots a man in the woods….

* Vice President aims gun at and shoots friend….

* Vice President shoots man and delays information to press…

Beware of sensationalism with journalist. They are out to sell thier papers and so will make the most inflamatory titles when writing.

Even more so if they feel slighted cause the VP sought medical treatment and stayed by the side of the friend who was shot and not telling them first……

Where are all the people saying that this was no big deal. I mean he was “PEPPERED” not shot. This happens all of the time. The MSM, the MSM. The fact is that a 78 year old man was shot in the face by accident by the Vice-President of the United States of the America. And that is a serious matter whether you like it or not. I just hope this guy pulls through, for Dick’s sake.

- All in all it makes all the latenight joksters like Letterman look pretty petty and cynical. They might have at least waited till the mans condition was known before troting out all the WMD/Cheney jokes. I think of all the things I find the most distasteful of all about the Liberal mindset is this sort of uncaring cynacism. Nothing is due any respect. Nothing is sacred. Everything is fair game….

- Bang

Can you give us a link for that incorrect fact?

Tommy laughingly wrote, “And judical appointees looking to take society back to the 18th century

I actually did chuckle at that one. Too much pot smokin’. What was Roberts’ or Alito’s words that gave you this conclusion?

Sanity with sanity wrote, “I can completely understand this. If I had accidentally shot someone, I would be trying to get medical attention and probably be by there side till I knew they were going to ok. And the first thought would not be to contact the media for a press release.

For sure!

Tommy raised an ever present problem, “Leaving an open border practically for foreigners who wish to do us harm

There has been some changes that the White House has been able to work with Congress on. But on this issue I give both Congress and the White House an “F” because they do not act with the due diligence they need to act with. Over 80% of the country seems to agree that “illegal” immigration needs to be stopped for a whole host of reasons including national security. It is interesting Tommy when watching C-SPAN you’ll see who is more interested in using the race card when these issues are brought up. Tom Tancredo will get done speaking and he’ll be torn to shreds by Democrats… yes Democrats as being racist etc. Those aren’t the exact words but I as a conservative believe that we’ll get more action on the border with Republicans soon than Democrats. Though the little amount of increases of border patrol are not enough and I give an “F”.

Tommy very incorrectly wrote, “The same can’t be said for Iraq.

Can you give us a poll that backs up this incorrect claim? We’ll wait…

“We didn’t hear about it first”….”Why was a private citizen putting out the information?”…”Why did some local Texas newspaper get the scoop?”… Imagine those word in a whiney, cry-baby voice and you’ve got the gist of yesterday’s press br…

You are right the reporters in the MSM are throwing a tantrum just like a spoiled kids that can’t have their way. There should be more important news going on in the world instead of when the MSM were given the story plan and simple. But to them it’s a gotcha look it’s a cover up.

Lived in Scottsdale AZ. For a few years what a great place.

If John Kerry had been on this hunt, he’d have shot himself in the butt with birdshot, and then put himself in for yet another Purple Heart, all the while claiming that it was the dirty VC down in Texas that had shot him.

Not only did Clinton involve us in Haiti and Kosovo, he bled the armed forces dry. Why were their no interceptors to take out hijacked airliners on 9/11? CLINTON CUT THE SQUADRONS OUT OF THE AIR
FORCE.

Again, what did Clinton do after the Cole? After the Khobar Towers? A BIG FAT NOTHING!!!!

Well, you have to look at it from their perspective. The MSM are used to getting advanced notice of terrorist attacks and such, so they can have their cameras there ready to snap photos when it happens. The Islamist Terrorists in Iraq show them this courtesy, and it’s a sad day when the US government can’t extend the same courtesy to the members of the press.
