Audacity of Truth
Losers of the week: Mainstream media and the far left
… but I repeat myself.
Yeah, I know – they could qualify as “losers of the week” every week but this week … only a day into it … they’ve already outdone themselves over the Iraqi “journalist” shoe-throwing incident from over the weekend. They can’t contain their glee over it and in the process demonstrate their juvenile behavior, not to mention show that what little perspective they had left over what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s appropriate and what’s not, has completely gone out the window. Here are examples of some of today’s headlines:
- AP: Across Mideast, Arabs hail shoe-hurling journalist
- NYT Baghdad Bureau: Brother Explains Shoe-Tossing Iraqi Journalist’s Anger
- NYT Baghdad Bureau: Iraqis Pick Up Their Shoes: Reaction From Around the Country (Note: can you tell the NYT is excited about this? – ST)
- Reuters: ANALYSIS-Iraqi shoe-thrower captures Mideast rage at Bush
- BBC: Iraq rally for Bush shoe attacker
- Chi-Trubune Swampland blog: Bush doesn’t admit Iraq’s angry soles
- AFP: Shoe attack on Bush mars farewell Iraq visit
“Mars”? Don’t these idiots realize that none of these people would have had the right to protest Bush’s visit if it weren’t for, well, him and the many sacrifices that have been made by our troops and coalition forces … not to mention the many brave Iraqis who want to see their country peaceful and prosperous, and not under the influence of radical Islam? Yeah, it was rude as hell for the Iraqi “journalist” to throw his shoes at Bush, but him and others in Iraq who are doing similary with photos of Bush probably haven’t stopped to think that if they were doing the same thing under a Saddam administration he’d torture them slowly before having them murdered.
Just goes to show once again that irrational, illogical, fanatical Bush hatred doesn’t stop at our borders.
Another thing, wouldn’t it be interesting to see a poll of all the Arabs in the Middle East and Europe who the media has noted are celebrating the shoe throw as to how many of them believe the Islamofascist torture and murder is acceptable when used to rid the world of “infidels”? I’m sure many of those on the left who read this blog will freak out over the question, assuming I’m stereotyping, but after the repeated terror attacks overseas, as well as the protest riots, violence, and deaths over “issues” like the Mohammed cartoons, I think it’s safe to say that we can bury the myth that “few Islamists” feel that such things are justified. I don’t think it’s a majority, but I definitely think it’s more than just a “few.” Polls like this one back up that opinion. The reason I ask is because it would be interesting to see how many of those Arabs would hate Bush anyway – even if he had decided not to go to war with Iraq.

I believe the Left and the media truly believe that on January 20, 2009 the terrorists will all of a sudden love the West, accept the infidels and celebrate Obama as the most powerful man in the world. If what is about to come with an Obama presidency weren’t so scary, I’d be laughing. Truly sad.
I have to wonder how these people are going to feel when this is being done Barack, if he ever goes over to Iraq, which is highly doubtful. Also very doubtful is if he will ever travel to Afghanistan. I can’t wait until Barack is President, and the media gets the chance to prop up his every bad decision, and the horrible consequences that are going to ensue. – Lorica
Cavuto just got done trying to defend O’s position and how Governor Blablabla has absolutely nothing to do with him – The O. What I had hoped the gal he was interviewing to say was that if O can’t negotiate with one of his own, how the hell is he going to handle some AH, who’s paygrade is above just being a thuggish, criminal, lying thief.
Where’s the damn popcorn?
I am putting this post under Losers of the week as I think it is very fitting.
I have some thoughts about what Colin Powell said on Sunday. I find it odd that he still considers himself a Republican. I figured that when he endorsed Barack, that he pretty much switched parties. So for him or anyone who endorsed Barack, to tell the Republican party what to do seems abit condesending to me. I do not consider Powell or Leach a Republican anymore, I never considered Chaffee a Rep. I am not against opposing advice, but with both of these individuals promoting a candidate other than that of the party they are suppose to be a part of I could really careless to hear what either of them have to say now.
Secondly, I believe that Colin Powell was destined to be America’s 1st black President. That he threw that all away due to fear, and fear makes a man do stupid things, i.e. see my 1st point. It is sad to see just how far this man has fallen. With the comments made on this latest interview, I don’t think the falling has stopped. It is truly sad.
Lastly, it is high time for the conservative wing of the Rep party to take back control from this party. For to long now we have been losing elections to the point where there is almost a super majority in the senate. I can only think that the moderate Republican leadership truly enjoys being the minority party. If things keep going this way, pretty soon this once great party, the party of ideas and convictions, the party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, men of leadership, even thru hardest of times, will be extinct. This “democracy by polling” is an abdication of true leadership, and it needs to end, sadly it won’t anytime soon. – Lorica
Interesting that this one man is representative of all Iraqis, and in fact of everyone in the Middle East. On the other hand, the roomful of journalists that did not throw shoes, that attempted to restrain this attacker, and that apologized afterwards are… nothing? What, exactly?
