"The American people are safer" - the media calls us cowards too.

[Deja Q]

The chimpiot* has now admitted his original reason for going to war was wrong and we hadn't found any WMDs, but he's still saying it was right to go to war (hoping we all forget WHAT he said to get us into war in the first place...).

Meanwhile Cheney is spinning Kerry/Edwards' vote on the Iraq war.

Combine this with the media shoveling election day fears and giving terrorists ideas - such as attacking candidates, conventions before the election, voters on voting day... sorry, * might still win if enough people are too cowardly to vote. (America has lost if its citizens are such COWARDS.)

This is what happens when I tune into the TV to listen to the FMA arguments/wasted time...

1. we're safer, as terrorist attack immenent and they talk halting

the elections, for the first time in the history of this republic, hm...............seeing some contradictions here

[ibegurpard]

2. Yup

How can these two things possibly be mentioned at the same time? Never in our history have elections been cancelled. How can we be safer when government officials are floating ideas about this possibility?

3. CBS News led with the two stories tonight.

Namely:

1) Bush*'s new reason for the invasion of Iraq (since no WMD's have shown up) is: We're all safer now! Less risk of terrorism!

2) But we'd better plan for rescheduling the election because of impending terror attack(s). Be very afraid!

CBS didn't bother to point out the conflict between the two messages. Hardly necessary.

4. LOL, they point out everything else that is obvious on their channel!

Sometimes I think we live in a nation of fools.

[Serenades]

8. Sometimes?

Sometimes you wonder this?

9. me too. n/t

[Deja Q]

10. But it is necessary.

People are told what to think and if the people shouldn't be thinking something, then it's not going to be said by those in control. (those who think also get bashed in the process...)

5. I call the Media cowards...

for furthering the goals of this cowardly administration. They should have blown the lid off Bu*h and all his vile cronies a long time ago. Shame on the American Media! :spank:

7. The media have failed us

It must be hard to be a journalist and making good money in the mass media. How in the hell can they sleep at night knowing the falsehoods they've allowed to become so widespread?

Oh, waitup a second.... the same kind of BS is what pays their salaries, via commercial ads, eh?

It's all about image. Reality has little to do with the press these days.

6. in all seriousness

Tom Ridge's job is to postulate terrorist attacks at the worst
possible times, and he's right that an attack "could" happen any
day... even in november.

What disturbs is the presumption that this means postponement. How
we get from A to B is more disturbing than the postulation of "A".

[Deja Q]

11. Yeah, but I'm tired of the "toddler who cried wolf" crap. Who isn't?

Yesterday I saw a newspaper. Front page headline was more shoveled shit about "oooooooooh, another possible terror attack! But all our information is vaaaaaaaaaaaague. We have no specifics as to where. We have no specifics as to when. Just believe us and be sure to seal your doorways and windows to remain safe!!!!!!!!!!!! And buy on amazon.com!"

In the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", when the boy's game got too far, nobody listened and the wolf ate the chickens and had a good meal... now think of what little toddler Ridge is doing. Assuming modern day Americans are like the townspeople in that story, the vote will still get out.

12. the more they cry the more callous we become

let them cry over and over. If "we", the collective majority of
world citizens are overwhelmed by a fear-mongering criminal
set of assholes, then it makes assholes of us all... and we simply
will not be having that...

the royal we, indeed!.. We of the world, we who will crush them in
this next poll, we who will not accept excuses for a litany of
failures they call executive priviledge.
