Can you prove the media is liberal?

Or is your definition of "liberal" as applied to the media restricted to their failure to suppress the truth when it conflicts with this President''''s goals or his statements?

well, considering media management is predominantly gay, and media workers are all unionized, that''s a pretty good opening argument for a liberal bias, no?

If Obama wanted to emulate McCain''s attack ads, we would hear robocalls in the Heartland informing America''s patriots that McCain:

a) was in the pocket of former Lincoln Savings & Loan president and convicted criminal Charles Keating;

b) was buddies with fellow convicted criminal Republicans Ted Stevens, Tom Delay, Scooter Libby, Bob Allen, Trent Lott, Jack Abramoff, Don Young, Larry Craig, Randy %u201CDuke%u201D Cunningham, Tom Feeney, Alberto Gonzoles, Bob Ney, Rick Renzi, Richard Curtis, Steven Griles, Mark Foley...etc;

c) accepted political donations from the Watergate convicted criminal G. Gordon Liddy;

d) picked a runningmate mired in scandal (Troopergate) and has acted "unethical" according to her own people - - and doctored expense reports to bilk her taxpayers;

e) gave up information to his communist captors in North Vietnam, whereas other American prisoners did NOT;

McCain has a lot to answer for. You can%u2019t call yourself a patriot while voting for criminals.

I guess they didn''t break out the Arab name generator yet, so we all know just who this person was:

"Syria raid kills Al Qaeda in Iraq leader"

Didn''t they already do that three times before? Or was it four?

Like Lazarus, arising from the dead, but times 4.

Don''t be surprised if something "not helpful," or "troubling" comes back from this outpost of tyranny in the next week or so.

THE WORLD MUST BE MADE AWARE OF SYRIAN PROPAGANDA

Funny, most of the world and about 80% of Americans feel the same way except we think the world needs to be made aware of the Bush Propaganda machine.

Hopefully there will be a subject that will be more fun to engage in tomorrow. I like responding to these blogs since it makes me feel like I''m not as far away from home. Americans as a whole have a very big decision coming up this election day. Obama is definetly going to change things. McCain is definetly going to change things. which change is better. It''s anybody''s guess. All I know is I''ll still be here. One last word for Obama lovers and those that think that Bush is/was the devil. "Be careful what you wish for".

#1: The military could NEVER do anything right for Nancy, she has probably never had anyone in the military and if she did, she would probably disown them.

#2: there are a lot of people that post on these blogs and they try to sound intelligent but most I suspect never got past the 6th grade.

This is a long a complicated struggle, and I don''t have all the facts. My test is, are we making the right people angry? By the two examples below, I''d say yes. In my opinion we''re doing good but it''s messy,

Example 1:

Well, well, a dead farmer turns out to be #1 Al Qaeda in Iraq, except he`s in Syria, not Iraq and he`s a farmer...

What will the Pentagon say when Abu Ghadiyah appears in a video next week? DoD == fvckups

-my comment, could the US military do anything right for this person?


Example 2:
Sir i advicce (sic) you to read the history of the Al-qaeda and you will come to understand that the U.S created this organization.

My comment- can you spell Al Qaeda?

These Syrians are evil terrorist supporters and should be smashed out of the world of civilized people and nations.
I did some research and it shows that the Syrians have been supporting the murders of decent Western people all over the world for maybe 80 to 90 years!
The Syrian government leaders teach their people to hate and murder civilians, especially Isrealis and Americans.
The Syrians also support the Iranian madmen who plan murder against civilians and Americans all over the world!
The Syrian government leaders also are liars and keep spreading their lies and propaganda.
The world should not believe a word the Syrians say!

You wouldn''t hate the military so much if you knew the risks involved.

Syria HAS been a sponsor of state terrorism for many, many years. Mainly targeted at Israel and U.S. interests in the Middle East. They are very clever, they have an excellent intelligence agency and know how to cause problems without leaving many trails. They are hard to get a handle on, again they hide high ranking intelligence officers among the public to help coordinate terrorist activities in the middle east, Iraq included.

syria has been a major sponsor of terrorism for decades, I have no pity for any of them or their country. none of those people were innocent, they were involved in one way or another with terrorism. either directly supporting or indirectly allowing it to take place in their village.

I will not argue against you in that many civilians have been killed during this war on terror. and with each civilian killed 3 more sign up to fight us, but I don''t see how it''s avoidable, the enemy hides among them. They are the true coward. They know they cannot bring change to the world as they envision, so they try to keep the jihad going at all costs as to give courage and the belief that one day they may affect change.

I know alot about Al Qaeda. I have been fighting them for 5 years. The "Base" Began in the Sudan and quickly moved to Afghanistan to fight the Russian Marauders. We gave plenty of money, ammunition, guns, Stinger missiles and plenty of other ordinance to Bin Laden during that time. I don''t believe he was ever a CIA tactition but I won''t say you''re wrong. There''s plenty of things that go on behind closed doors. Al Qaeda though is not a U.S. Invention. It is home grown. Maybe the U.S. government has made them into something bigger than they are, now that is a question that is certainly debatable.

Sir i advicce you to read the history of the Al-qaeda and you will come to understand that the U.S created this organization. Osama Bin Laden was a CIA Tactition. Those people who were killed were not terrorists. This Air raid can be the "9-1-1" to the Syrians. This War on terror has taken the toll on mostly innocent people. If the U.S would like to ensure a safe future then its time that we do not create hate agiasnt our selves when there was non to begin with. The only result of this Air raid is more people hating the U.S and now they will go and support Anti- American groups. The Government has a side agenda, and we as the people have the right and responsibility to stop this. This is stated in the preamable in the Constitution.
