Katherine Kersten, a/k/a the Church Lady because of her preachiness on GLBT rights, science in the classroom, reproductive rights, etc. (she's against all of them), recently became a Star Tribune columnist representing the views of only the most extreme right wing nut jobs.

Katherine Kersten: The big picture in Iraq tells quite a different story
August 25, 2005 KERSTEN0825

Since early August, Cindy Sheehan and her band of antiwar activists have seized the spotlight in America's major news outlets. Last week, celebrity protesters in Crawford, Texas, included Minnesota's state Sen. Becky Lourey, DFL-Kerrick, and DFL Second District congressional candidate Coleen Rowley.

Lourey used the major media megaphone to broadcast her over-the-top antiwar views far and wide. On her return, she accused America of invading Iraq to grab oil and profits.

Every time the terrorists in Iraq go head-to-head with the American military, they lose. But they understand our media's obsession with body counts, and they know their only chance for victory is to wear down our will to persevere. That's the strategy behind the steady drip-drip of roadside explosions and marketplace suicide bombings.

Our major media have a duty to give us the big picture on Iraq. This -- not the tears of Crawford -- is what we owe fallen soldiers and their courageous comrades.

1. She's so damn ignorant. I don't know why they brought her back.

2. Probaby to try and counter Coleman

though she comes off as an raving nut. Nick Coleman calmly backs up his points he makes.

3. I looked at her bio. She's with the Center of the American Experiment

the so-called conservative "think-tank."

Everyone associated with that place seems to be incredibly dogmatic and lacks reasoning skills.

Do you think they might be implanting chips in their brains?

5. That would mean she has one that you could place an implant in!

She really is vile and full of hate.

4. Just can't learn those folks nuttin'....

"Every time the terrorists in Iraq go head-to-head with the American military, they lose."

In Nam we won every battle, In Afghanistan, the Russians won every battle....you just don't win conflicts like this with a military solution.....in fact, its counter productive. The more you fight and blow up their country, the more resolved their hearts and souls become to defeat you....they live there,, we don't...who's going to outlast the other....doesn't take an Einstein to see that.

6. my goodness, she is a total wingnut mouthpiece
