The left media are launching an all-out effort to repeat their "dope-fiends and baby-killers" demonization of Vietnam vets, in spite of the hit they have taken during the gradual exposure of this monstrous slander.
Leftist luminary Alan "Strawman" Colmes, for example, has been going all out for the "Kerry didn't mean it but it's true anyway" tactic of slandering American troops. Tonight on his radio show Colmes had a caller who claimed to be a "guidance counselor." Among other things, this "counselor" asserted that "90% of the kids who are failing, I guarantee you, go into the military." As we know, high school dropouts cannot join the military at all. Colmes did not question this statistic, nor did he ask for a source.
Beyond that, the caller had remarkably poor grammar for someone who would have to have a college education, repeatedly making such statements as "Most of them (service members) don't have no college education." Colmes is normally razor sharp about grammatical errors (if nothing else), as befits someone who confuses sarcasm with intellect, but this clod got a pass.
Finally the alleged guidance counselor claimed that ROTC recruiters were always asking for the names of "people who weren't going to graduate." Even a jackass like Colmes should be aware that the Reserve OFFICER Training Corps is about training officers, and officers are required to have graduated from college. The training is therefore wasted on anyone who fails to graduate. Again, Colmes did not challenge this ignorant and transparently false claim.
BTW, the only time I called Colmes, a few weeks ago, I started to challenge some of the many outright lies the Dixie Chicks had told about Lubbock during an interview with a Canadian newspaper. Colmes didn't want to hear it. "Who cares what the Dixie Chicks think?" he interrupted, in an effort to shut me off by trivializing the subject. He tried to argue that the opinions of celebrities just aren't important.
His guest that very night was none other than Alec Baldwin's brother, someone who apparently rated a national radio slot just for being related to a celebrity.
Just a week later, the hypocrite devoted a whole show to the Dixie Chicks and their moronic conspiracy theories. He and the rest of the media need to answer their own question, they are the ones who give saturation coverage to the rambling pronouncements of these nitwits.
I just loathe NPR...
Ah, NPR again. Hard to believe possible, but they've gotten worse since they hooked up with Pacific Radio. Vile, in fact.
The last laugh is on Kerry, who was told to stay the hell off the stump in key Congressional races by members of his own party.
C'mon! Let it all out! Tell us how you really feel!
NPR's target audience is rich liberal elitists anyway. They're just giving their audience what they want to hear. Now, having said that, I wish NPR/PBS were defunded and knocked into the public sector like the rest of the vile disgusting media so my tax dollars don't fund such disgusting slanted horsesh!t such as this.
NPR is as bad as the BBC. Diane Rehm sounded shocked Thursday when one of her guests pointed out that, because of NPR's biases, three out of every four NPR listeners is a Democrat.
Ummm, that's how I really feel... I swear on a stack of Websters that "loathe" is the right word for it ;-)
I guess "Loathe" could describe my sentiments in post 46. LOL
Mandalit del Barco has a long history of leftist reporting. I remember an interview 20 years ago when she interviewed some hispanic gang members, and stayed with them as they spotted their next victim ("he looked vic"), and then stood by without reporting to police when the gang members mugged the guy. National People's Radio (NPR) has a stable full of these reporters.
Yep........sorry, fat fingers.
NPR = National Partisan Radio
Happens to me also. :0)
