Partisan hack on CNN: Zarqawi's death equivalent to killing Adolf Hitler
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 12:54 PM by Halliburton
they're giving airtime to some guy from the Reagan administration who believes that this is the case!

UPDATE: this guy is also saying to watch Ramadi because it will "cool down" in the near future.

Kyra Phillips didn't challenge him

9. The media once said you had to kill 6 million jews b/f comparing to Hitler
Oh wait- that was when Durbin was talking about Rumsfeld- that rule does not apply when we are proping up Bush.

5. Good, let them try and sell this bullshit...
it will be just another in a very long list of blatant bald-face lies told over the last 6 years.

Let the last vestiges of their integrity go down the crapper.

7. Idiot
I'm glad they got Zarqawi but comparing him to Hitler is stupid.

Zarqawi was a nasty thug, but has nowhere near done the damage Hitler did.

So if we get Osama, is that like killing Satan?
Or do we have to settle for the moral equivalent of killing Genghis Khan, Tamerlane or Stalin.

12. Please check your thread title.
It gives the impression that a CNN anchor or reporter is drawing this analogy, which would be a far, far more egregious offense than hearing it come from some partisan hack.

14. CNN must have a requirement that you have to be severely
brain damaged before they let you on the air.

15. What a load of unadulterated crap
Zarqawi was nothing more than punk until we built him up into the "Big Boogey Man". His death will impact Iraq not one iota.

17. It is a victory against Al-Queda....no matter how you cut it
This guy was the head of Al-Queda operations in the region. It is said that this guy personally committed the beheadings of Nick Berg and the others. He was directly responsible for the insurgency following the fall of the Saddam regime. So he has killed hundreds of American soldiers.

I personally don't have any sympathy for the man...

23. I thought I heard about him being demoted.
It's a victory, but its significance is contested.

25. Not at all...
This guy was a minor player who jumped on the coattails of Al-Q in an attempt to become a majopr player. Yes, he did damage in Iraq, but he was quickly becoming irrelevent to Al-Q. And the native Iraqi insurgency - of which he was NOT - will go on just fine without the bastard. Tragically.

18. I heard on CNN not long ago...
that they won't show the head wound shot of this guy because "it might inflame the entire Muslim world!" We wouldn't want to do that!

They didn't do anything worthwhile.

24. Well, as my Con friends are so fond of saying...
"Statements like that only cheapen Hitler and the Holocaust".

Seems it's perfectly acceptable under their rules though.
