6. Congrats From Another Illinois DUer |
|
Mirengoff is a total doofus. Actually he looks pretty whipped this morning...he'd rather talk about football than politics these days. Kinda hard getting your head handed to you over and over again like what usually happens to this toadstool.
Interesting our little buddy Steve didn't pit a real Progressive or Liberal blogger against Mirengoff...he wouldn't do that to his little buddy.

8. and the other guest is from National Interest, headed by Francis Fukuyama |
|
nice range, huh?
now this idiot is going on and on about how the msm is doing a disservice by only reporting the bad news, and making zero sense, saying that, even though things were/are really bad in Baghdad, he didn't believe it since it came from the msm, because he doesn't believe them on priniciple. he didn't believe it til he heard it from people there, who weren't part of the msm. try to make sense out of that
completely insane
and this is from one of the blogs pushing that AP story the hardest...the one about the source who didn't exist, but really did. this story was their linchpin in trying to show that the msm is making things seem so much worse over there than they really are.
what fricking planet do they live on?
too bad they don't have somebody on like Glenn Greenwald vs. the powerliar, but that would be expecting too much.
the powerliar also was spewing about how it was Clinton's fault that 911 happened, and that Sandy Berger took all those notes to cover up their comlicity in allowing alqaida to 'metastasize'
and little stevie the host just let him go on and on unchallenged, of course

9. this is typical o fthe outright lies which fuel powerline: |
|
remember the flap about Iranians forcing Jews in their country to wear yellow stars, ala Nazi Germany: http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2006/05/powerline-iran-yellow-star-sham-is.htmlafter the story was confirmed to be a hoax, powerline was one of the only remaining (if not the only) holdouts, who denied the fabricated nature of the story all they do is lie

10. The best of all the soundbites out of their exchange: Natl. Interest woman re: caller's |
|
comment on why the media was "enabling the terrorists" by only reporting the bad news: "Well, it is too dangerous for reporters to be on the streets of Baghdad, so they have to rely on Iraq, so a lot of the good isn't being reported." This isn't verbatim, but damned close! I actually laughed out loud at her voice from the magic box across the room as I had my breakfast...

Remember two weeks ago when their site crashed and Assrocket threatened to prosecute the "liberal" who hacked his site? Turns out Mirenoff screwed up the site. Oops!
