The Fall

National Review Online ^ | September 24, 2004 | Victor Davis Hanson

[AFPhys]

The Big Three may deride the newsreaders at Fox as blond bimbos, but millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined — and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.

...It has taken a lot to end the credibility of the liberal dynasty, inasmuch as there were many prior provocations — Peter Arnett airing a blatantly dishonest ...

Also, RCGirl, your comments deserve highlighting:
"I am glad to have known before Rathergate.

"Imagine the shock of finding out your "friends" on TV and in "hometown" papers have been deceiving you - after election 2000, 911, and after over 18 months of daily spinning re. Iraq?

"I felt so guilty about Vietnam - for having betrayed our veterans by believing Walter Cronkite and Hollywood lies.

"We didn't have access to the primary sources then.

"We may need a national period of mourning, forgiveness, to get beyond this latest national shame - the latest betrayal of all we hold dear by our own mighty free press, and those who bought the slickly packaged lies."

I honestly believe that by soundly thrashing sKerry in a way that the leftists can not mistake as just bad luck or some such, we can purge this episode with a cathartic celebration, rather than mourning. You have been doing your part, as have many others. ((Hugs))

Give the VietNam Vets the Parade They Never Got.

DEFEAT KERRY !!!

So good, just terrific..that is going in the rear window of my car!

You Are A Democrat If . . .

You can't think for yourself and need an unfeeling bureaucrat to think for you.

You are pretty sure there isn’t a God, and if there is, He doesn’t really mean it when He tells you not to sin, because there’s no such thing as “sin,” and there are absolutely no absolutes.

Even though evil doesn’t exist, you still think that life is harsh and cruel and unfair to you in particular, and thus it is ok to be lazy, go on welfare and try to "beat the system" to get as much money as possible,

Just to make sure we know, bumper stickers tell us how much you care and what a good person you are.

You have a keen habit of recording names in cemeteries so that you can vote early and often, and your leftist friends at the polling place will ignore all voter fraud....providing you vote properly for the Democrats.

If you are an elected official who commits a crime and there is no mention of party affiliation in the news reports... then you are a Democrat.

"Hey, there is no right or wrong. If you mean well, that's all that matters."

Glad you like it. Tip of the hat to Grampa Dave.

Use it copiously on FR and everywhere else.

I'd LOVE to see that on a bumper sticker on every car in AMERICA!!!!!! I know it is going up on my car! I love this!

VDH Bump!

Magnolia, you might enjoy this.

[Phsstpok]

Oh, this is going into a poster outside my office door:

You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

 

Leo Amery

Speech, repeating Cromwell's words, addressed to Neville Chamberlain's government

House of Commons, 1939

How about an Eagle bump: In honor of the lying CBS eye

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

Sit on it CBS! You have been outed.

[Magnolia]

WOW...you're right...this is a great read. Let's see: smug, huffy, self-righteous hypocrite, blatantly dishonest, shamelessness now-ossified, self-proclaimed moralist, abject non-professional, overweening arrogant. Yep, that pretty much describes dannyboy. My favorite is the last line...

So, Dan, go, and let us have done with you — in the name of God, go now.

Amen!

[dixiechick2000]

Very well stated!
That was my take on it, as well.


"So, Dan, go, and let us have done with you — in the name of God, go now."


Actually, that made me LOL. ;o)

[Travis McGee]

Worth repeating. And a Ping to anyone who missed this VDH gem. The alphabet networks, the AP, and the New York Times are crawling with these cockroaches. The media can't get rid of them fast enough to clean up their act; no matter which "rising star" they turn to, the odds are it's another leftist cockroach like Ms. Mapes. They've been hiring their own kind for so long that there's no other kind left.

[OwenKellogg]

Don't miss this one.

[wardaddy]

Every group with a chip on their shoulders in this nation are disproportionately represented in media in general and their bias is so transparent.

Has been since the mid 70s even though there was a lefty bent even before that. By the time all the 60s J-school grads got employed and all the "diversity is our strength" junk got implemented/hired, it's been pretty locked up ever since by angry folks who have a keen dislike for Leave It To Beaver America...the one I grew up loving in contrast.

[maica]

Nail this one to the door of every network and to the tail of every reporter and editor. He is simply terrific..BRAVO!

$$$$$

Get it to every college student - as part of their "diversity" exposure. After all if colleges can require Koran reading as part of the their orientation, we should demand VDH reading. Since faculty and deans would never agree to such an idea, it is necessary for the message to get through by underground methods - like Chrisitans did in Red China, or the Soviet Union, eg.

Hopefully, someone will make a magnetic sign with that statement. I will put it on my OJ Simpson Bronco with a Vet for GW sign.

You are SO right, wardaddy.
