"Right" wing Media Whiners...

To a person -- each tees off on (already deemed unfit) political and social figures.

They exhibit no imagination; nor do they use their considerable influence to expand the scope of their listenrs/viewers beyond their own personal rants ...and into the posibilities of what can be accomplished by an united poeple.

In my personal understanding, a true patriot adheres to the ideal that all voices are welcome and valuable in considering the course of our ship of state -- not just the predisposed & shrill naysayers.

Thoughts?

2. Those RW assholes are anything but Patriots...they are UNAMERICAN
by their actions and results... all they do is DIVIDE...counter productive big time....they sow negativity and discord....its all THEIR WAY....nothing we say or stand for is GOOD, only theirs..

But if we look, they ain't got shit..

What kind of a Prez did they foist on us? A big time PYSCHO...thats whot. Bush is only missing the trembling hands, the tics, and the drooling.

He is a closet pyscho for sure.... Look at um, he is a mess.

4. Of course you're right...
...but is there a bigger sin against democracy going on by the ("non-mainstream") mediaums that continuosly rant against their perceived enemies -- without ever offering positives?

7. They are anti-republic.
I see them as cheering on the demise of their own country.... therefore, say "anti-republic".

5. Not to worry...
...The price of gas has already cracked the veneer of Bush's infallibility (if the losses in Iraq hadn't).

That said -- given Bush's ignorant actions, we have no choice but to make Iraq capable of taking care of its own security.

9. sadly, that analogy is made too easily...
http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/goebmain.htm while a primary difference with american 'journalists' seems a ready preponderance for handing it all to 'social notions' of: acceptance, access, a syndicated weekly column that pays by the inch, a laminated/embedded pass on a troop transport, or the valet at washington-georgetown cocktail parties.

8. propaganda is a war crime
Goebbels (Fritzsche was tried in his place, as he was dead) was held accountable posthumously, and Julius Streicher (Nazi racial theorist) was sentenced to death. In Rwanda, likewise, radio station hosts were similarly put on trial for their promotion of violence.

The propagandists you're talking about deserve referrals on similar grounds to the International Criminal Court.
