For five full years, we watched Democrats and the mighty force of the mainstream media do everything in their power to "call into question" President George W. Bush's leadership as commander-in-chief while tens, and even hundreds of thousands of troops were "in harm's way." Back then, it was a vicious media blood sport and unrelenting.

Dangerous? Sure, but criticizing Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Brezhnev, Castro, Pol Pot and any number of other favorites of the leftist press was also dangerous.

Nice graphic and true through and through.
Every problem we have in this country can be traced back to our dishonest, corrupt, disloyal Mainstream Media.
By far and away the greatest threat to our nation in the last 20 years.
My Army son says 0bama HAS no 'credibility with the troops' in his unit, and says he's not alone.
Hmmm. I don’t remember Matt Lauer being incensed when folks would write nasty things about George W. Bush.
Never thought I'd agree with the murderous hag........
Lots of Americans somehow got killed and continue to get killed during Mr. Get Us Out of Wars watch.
These days the line between reality and Satire is pretty much as wide as the field.
I'm thinking your field is wider............
Thank you! That Shrillary quote needs to be BLASTED from every conservative, everywhere, every time a socialist/commie/Democrat/braindead zombie tries to harp about any & everything “Obuttwipe.”
I would’ve said “from every Republican pol”... but we know most of them fall into those latter categories.
Satire is no funnier than reality these days.
Some gifts just keep on givin'....
“civil servants”<>p>Uncivil fascist/commie Dicktaters.
2008- “Dissent is patriotic!”
2014- “Dissent is Dangerous and Dishonorable”
Some animals (pigs all) are more equal than others...
Ya got me beat...as per fields worth much.
I use Flash Earth ()http://www.flashearth.com/ to look at places as a first glance. It's good because it has Long./Lat. navigation.
Here's the field: 45.758, -107.89 . ( clicking on the lang/lat in the app switches between decimal and Deg/min/sec.)
Yes you are right.
