Audacity of Truth
Jerry Springer and Randi Rhodes reactions to Zarqawi news
Was just watching the replay of the O’Reilly Factor and Bill played some clips of Scare America hosts Randi Rhodes and Jerry Springer downplaying to the max the good news about the killing of Zarqawi by US forces. I don’t have a transcript to link to (maybe someone will have it tomorrow) but Springer essentially said that “we” (meaning the US) had killed more people in Iraq than Zarqawi ever did. Rhodes acted like we’d built up Zarqawi ourselves into something he wasn’t and more or less said the same thing Springer did.
That’s “supporting the troops” – far left style.
Update: Here’s what’s on Rhodes’ site about today’s news:
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead. Bush’s #1 boogie man in Iraq has been killed in an air strike. So the war’s over, right? No. Well, the majority of the killing and violence must be over, right? No. Does anything really change? No.
The war in Iraq is primarily a civil war coupled with an insurgency pushing back against those who invaded and now occupy their country. Al Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq until Bush blew it up. And now they have a new martyr to boot…one who was built up by Bush himself.
It’s BUSH who is the real enemy here and don’t you forget it! Bush CREATED Zarqawi!!!/moonbat font
Friday AM Update: Expose the Left has the audio as well as the transcript (emphasis added):
JERRY SPRINGER: We never should have gone in from day one. Now, and I understand, tens of thousands of people have been killed because we choose to go into Iraq. That is true. We killed a hell of a lot more people just by decision to go into Iraq than ever died at the hands of Zarqawi.

RANDI RHODES: Even the White House Press Secretary says this today at the press briefing. He says if you look at some of the al-Qaeda memos to Zarqawi, where you had direct leads, will you please stop beheading people, it’s bad PR. I think you have to say to yourself, my God, al-Qaeda is telling Zarqawi to cut the crap with the killing of Iraqis and yet we haven’t cut the crap with the killing of the Iraqis.

Are we losing the war in Iraq? No. Do US soldiers kill Iraqi civilians as a matter of policy? No. Does Randi Rhodes have a clue? No.
Good looking site! Your military is doing great things in Iraq and Afghani. One step ata time and we will continue to win!
“Al Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq until Bush blew it up.”
This has to be the most common misconception among the denizens of the self-called “reality-based community,” but it’s not exacty the truth. If they are willing to accept that Zarqawi was indeed an Al Qaida operative long before the war, which is accurate based upon his running an Al Qaida camp in Afghanistan, then that statement is purely false. Zarqawi was the leader of the Army of Ansar al-Sunnah before splitting off and creating Tawhid wal Jihad which was to be composed of non-Iraqis. Both appointments as leaders happened before the Coalition hit the ground.
With the obvious truths in mind, many on the Left continue to trot out this inane arguments that don’t have any merit at all and still repeat these same old myths and errors.
When you combine this Zarqawi-was-a-made-by-Bush-golem BS with the prior streams of we’re-losing-because-we-haven’t-gotten-bin-Laden BS, what do you get?
Obviously, that the only real threats are the ones the United States cannot neutralize. If we succeed in taking out X, then clearly, X couldn’t have been significant.
A more direct or striking quote from the gospel of leftist defeatism would be hard to compose.
It’s a sad day in America when we have fellow Americans who say what these idiots are saying. God bless our troops. It’s because of them we have to listen to this bull.
I remember when the lefties were screaming “We can’t even find Saddam!!”, then we find Saddam and their reply is “Big deal”. Then they scream “We can’t even find Zarqawi!!”, then we find him and they scream “Big deal!!”.
Does anyone think the reaction will be any different when we find Osama?
NC Cop, when the lefties say, “Big Deal” to capturing or (better yet) killing OBL, then it is time we say, “Oops, we can’t find your program fundng or welfare checks.”
