A MILBLOG
mudminilogo1.jpg
The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Fever

Greyhawk

Glenn Reynolds quotes a recent post here and adds a brief observation:

The press had better hope we win this war, because if we don't, a lot of people will blame the media.
Seems like a reasonable statement, and one that could engender further reasonable discussion.

Instead...

Instadipshit represents the People of the Lie.

I would say he has a bee up his ass.

I think he's got a whole hive down there.

Which begs the question; if he can shoot bees out of his hive hole, might he not be an effective terrorist fighting machine?

Did not Homer mock Burn's about dogs that would shoot bee's out of their mouths?

That's the wit and wisdom of the Atrios crowd, the commenters at the #2 blog on the Left side of the sphere.

Over at Political Animal - another top Left wing blog:

They have to blame. It's a necessary aspect of having faith dashed. Their interpretation of personal responsibility.

But damn it, if the chickenhawks had just gone and fought...we'd have won easily, right?..

So..we never had enough troops..chickenhawks did not support the war with enlistment..draw your conclusions..

dear f***tard - i would rather see the mureder in chief dead more than anything else - there were few if any terrorist problems eminating from iraq before the chimp misled the US into war - go f*** yourself with a rusty mace

I just saw that post as well, and was instantly reminded of why I quit reading Instapundit a few months back.

The media must also be to blame for 70% of the troops in Iraq thinking their mission is pointless and wanting out.....Right???

You are correct, Kevin. The self-delusion of these Bush lovers is pathological. They need psychological help. I hope their children are all on foot patrol in Fallujah without body armor, since things are going so swimmingly there.

FWG, are you aware that they've started to allow dumbasses and criminals in the military because recruitment is so bad? Don't you think a grizzled old vet is more likely gonna win this war than somebody too stupid and drugged out to make living except by knocking over convenience stores?

i'd rather be a dumbercrat who was against the war than a CHICKENHAWK who sits at his keyboard cheering the liar in chief while good kids die for the biggest nothing since vietman - kindly FOAD!

What the people will blame the media for is GW Bush even being "elected" president. Why didn't they tell us what an incompetent nincompoop he is - that his father had to bail him out of every business he ever was involved in - that he was a deserter from TANG etc, etc.
It will soon be CW that GW Bush never actually won either election. The American people will never admit to this mistake, just like in '74 you could not find anyone who voted for Nixon.
Americans are angry and will blame the press and with good reasons to blame them.

Needless to say, as has been observed countless times, the members of the 101st Fighting Keyboarders are brave enough to support a war in which other people shed the blood, and which the President insists on paying for by a tax cut. They're also quick to associate themselves with the glory of the victory they imagine.

Posted by: Gregory on March 6, 2006 at 2:26 AM | PERMALINK

-----------------------

Of course it's a lost cause to suggest that the 101st Fighting Keyboardists like Glenn Reynolds, you know, actually enlist -- or urge the readers of their blogs to enlist -- but I'd be a lot more impressed with the support of the Bush Cultists if they were willing to bear at least the monetary costs of the war.

Since they -- Bush's core supporters, mind! -- are evidently not willing to pay any price for the war, it's small wonder the effort was doomed to failure. And they deserve no credit for whatever miniscule success or benefit does manage to arise.

Anyhow, now that they've got that off their chests, what about the original point?

More fever here.

Rush Limbaugh has convinced these people they are "liberal". They need to stop listening to him.
