IMHO if Malkin had not been around speaking very loud her very clear positions, the MSM would have been able to spin so much of this to their advantage. She set up a framework that people cannot forget and she did a lot of it before the shoot hit the fan.

I wasted my time defending Coulter at The Independent. I decided to point out her ‘non credentials’ matched – Hillary Clintons. Both prestige law graduates, both worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

However, I noted that Hillary had the creepy honor of having tried to convince the Committee that then-President Nixon had no right to legal counsel in his impeachment trial. The Committee Democrats even rejected that one. Good thing for Bill, eh?

What a waste of good argument responding th that rag. They never print valid rebuttals.

Little effort is made to distinguish between these groups, or explain what their goals might be. The conflict is presented as a straight fight between good and evil, in which US interests and Israeli interests intersect almost completely.

Sounds off to you then? This seems like a reasonable assessment to me.

Just call me a jihadi enabler.

Part of the Republican strategy this year is to attack any media that either attacks them or has the temerity to report facts that contradict the official party line.

Uh, it’s called getting the truth out, MORON!! We all know the MSM is incapable of doing so.

All I can say is that there is night and day difference about what is posted on DU and what is posted in what the label “neo-con’ blogs. I see vile hatred and irrational emotional lashing out like 5 year old children I don’t really see to much of that on conservative blogs.

I don’t believe you – they are the compassionate ones.

Why? Simple. Can We Close our eyes?

There is no equivalency.

Hezbollah must be stopped.

For our childrens sake.

If they don’t want to be “tinged by association” with Hezbollah, perhaps they shouldn’t carry Hezbollah flags and signs. Just a thought.

Actually what I sense is a great deal of impatience with radical Islam these days. I’m glad I’m not alone.

See Ace here.

Then see Allah here.

I haven’t heard Fox report on it yet, but Drudge links this story: Palestinian gunmen ambushed a car carrying a Fox News crew in Gaza City on Monday and kidnapped two of the journalists inside, according to witnesses and Fox…….

By contrast, the Palestinians have received millions upon millions (likely billions) in aid and what have they done with it? They could have a modern, admirable society like Israel does, but they do not because their leaders have squandered it on weapons (to fight the Zionsist they hate) and pocketed the rest.

Use Google Earth to zero in on the Gaza Strip. You pretty much don’t need to see the political boundary lines to distinguish civilization from barbarism.

Regarding #1, Israel hasn’t forgotten who helped it regain the land and become a nation. Regarding #5, the monetary aid we give them is far more well spent than that given to any of their neighbors. They build schools, hospitals, a solid infrastructure and magnificent cities. By contrast, the Palestinians have received millions upon millions (likely billions) in aid and what have they done with it? They could have a modern, admirable society like Israel does, but they do not because their leaders have squandered it on weapons (to fight the Zionsist they hate) and pocketed the rest. And yet the Palestinians dearly love their leaders.

What fools they be.

The Left is totally delusional if they think that they can “feel their pain” and negotiate for a peaceful world.

You could have stopped after the first five words…

“Arab Islam”

, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with the likes of it.

Besides, I used to wear a beard, and it iches. Plus, I favor a burka-less environment, to view, you know… is that so bad?

There are only shades of grey. There is no black and white.

Case in point….

As the conflict has gone on, the media interpretation of it has only hardened. Essentially, the line touted by cable news hosts and their correspondents – closely adhering to the line adopted by the Bush administration and its neoconservative supporters – is that Hizbollah is part of a giant anti-Israeli and anti-American terror network that also includes Hamas, al-Qa’ida, the governments of Syria and Iran, and the insurgents in Iraq. Little effort is made to distinguish between these groups, or explain what their goals might be.

The fact is that there is no difference between any of these groups. They have one goal and one goal only – the Islamic domination of the world. Their method is to use any means necessary to achieve that goal. This means killing as many Jews and non-Muslims as they can any way that they can even if it means killing some of their own in the process.

The Left is totally delusional if they think that they can “feel their pain” and negotiate for a peaceful world. It ain’t gonna happen because these terrorists believe that there can be no peace until they have total control, period.

The conflict is presented as a straight fight between good and evil, in which US interests and Israeli interests intersect almost completely. Anyone who suggests otherwise is likely to be pounced on and ripped to shreds.

Interesting metaphorical projection, considering that the jihadists do exactly that to those who disagree with them.

As far as ‘a straight fight between good and evil…’ – that’s exactly what it is. Mr. Gumbel and the rest of the looney lefties need to wake up and smell the coffee before it’s too late (fat chance).
