U.S. 'Dictatorship' Had No 'Search Warrant' for Saddam, Boston Globe Moans
NewsMax.com ^ | 12/17/03 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff

Derrick Z. Jackson, one of the most left-wing columnists for the left-wing Boston Globe, wrote today: "The invasion was still a lie. The capture of Saddam Hussein changes nothing about that. There were too many forked tongues in the road to his lair. The way we removed the dictator, we became a global dictatorship."

According to dizzy D.Z.: "With no weapons, no ties, and no truth, the capture of Saddam was merely the most massive and irresponsible police raid in modern times. We broke in without a search warrant. Civilian deaths constituted justifiable homicide. America was again above the law. We have taught the next generation that many wrongs equal a right. In arrogance, we boasted, 'We got him!' The shame is that we feel none for how we got him. The capture of this dictator, driven by the poison of lies, turned America itself into a dictator."

And the elitists of American journalism just can't understand why Americans despise them.

But we'll give Jackson the benefit of the doubt: Surely his latest rant is a parody of a satire of a spoof of the addled brain of a blame-America-first leftist pseudointellectual.

I wonder if this jerk felt the same way about Waco and the Elian Gonzalez raid?

I find it highly doubtful.

I truly believe we should of killed Saddam when we found him. The moaning and groaning from liberals would have been at a high pitch for a week or two, but it would eventually have died down. Now with Saddam alive and a trial probably a year away we are going to have incessant whining from the liberals about the whole process and whether it is fair or not. Time will tell but we are going to be bombarded with liberal talk on this for months to come.

I read the original article before a Moderator removed it. It was poisonous, all right, but I think it should have been left up, because we really need to know the worst about our enemies, and the Globe is a big-city newspaper, not some fly-by-night outfit.

It's a sad commentary on the state of the media when you see stuff like this.

He's kidding, right? This "reporter" doesn't think for a minute anyone will take him seriously.

The real hoot is, guys like Derrick Z honestly believe that 80 to 90 percent of the public argees with their hysterical rants and nutty conspiracy theories.

Is there a "Who's the Most Ridiculous Liberal" contest going on or what?

No, but I think it would be a good thread to start. The problem: so many nominations...so little time to document.

Saddam is a lice infected, cowardly loser as well as a mass murderer. How can the leftist journalists not love the guy?

I think you're on to something here. Who is the most idiotic, history lesson deprived, clueless liberal contest. And dumbass Derrick Z. Jackson, can get my vote. Search warrant - (Insert Bryant Gumble's quote here.)

Why would the military need a search warrant when the owner of the property is the one who narc'ed Saddam out.

I think Derrick Z. Jackson got hopped up on radical and ethnic rhetoric in the late 1960s/early 1970s and hasn't kicked the habit yet.

Will somebody tell him it's the 21st century and check him into a 21-step program. The Fight the Power! critique is as old as the hills.

Sheesh.

Sounds like a DU regular.

His insight probably came from bending his elbow with Teddy at the local watering hole one too many times.

They appear to be tripping over one-another to be the most ludicrous, and this clown just may have made it to the play-offs with this garbage.

LOL

That's more or less what I was thinking, but you summed it up so neatly.

Loons! It really is kind of entertaining.
