Brit Hume makes a "Monkey's Ass" out of himself again

[devin79]

I can prove Brit Hume is a Dumb-ass and a sissy


Dear god is Brit hume an idiot. His moronic assertion that California is more dangerous for soldiers then Iraq couldn't be any dumber. It's very simple. How many US Soldiers, not just anyone, but US Soldiers, are killed every day in California. Now, how many US Soldiers are killed in Iraq per day. See how stupid his argument is. You can't compare the daily death of Soldiers who number 130,000 in Iraq, to the daily death of civilians who number millions in California. Besides if Iraq is so safe how come Brit isn't over there risking his life with our brave soldiers. I will tell you why, because just like the slutty Ann Coulter, Brit Hume is a coward and a republican "Butt Monkey", that's why.

1. I'm sure the families of the slain Soldiers in Iraq are very

comforted by monkey ass'es assessment!


What an enabler to this bogus war! May he go down in infamy when a Democratic President gets in in 2005 and this Country starts turning around in the right direction!

2. That's an impressive trick

for a horse's ass to turn into a monkey's ass.

3. I live in CA

and about the only comparison I can come up with between CA and Iraq is its size. We do have a desert but the only fighting going on there is between the lizards. :crazy:

I remember Hume interviewing one of the Repugs who is running to unseat Davis in the Recall and he was asking how a Republican Governor could get anything done because the state was "alarmingly Democratic." Alarmingly???? Fair and balanced as always, dear Brit.

Brit Hume sure says some dumb ass things to defend his friends the Repukes.

7. Cartoon from the Syracuse paper

My sil in Syracuse sent us a political cartoon from her paper. It shows a family on the beach, with all kinds of battleships just off-shore. The caption, "The ships will stay in place until fair elections have been held in California."

5. I read somewhere about the skyrocketing murder rate in

Baghdad. There was a story on the Baghdad morgue that was quite gruesome. Murders are way up.

6. Even worse for Brit

One could even highlight the stupidity of his argument further. Let's restrict the California stats down to the numbers of police officers killed in the line of duty, including all causes (car accidents, hostile fire, etc.). We will find that in California, 166 police officers have died in the line of duty.....

....since 1991! Since the number of US soldiers who have died in the line of duty in Iraq is damned close to that number for the period of May 2 - present, Brit seems to have some difficulty. Can any one get the total number of police officers in the state of California (ideally, historical information, so one can average the total over the period 1991 - 2003 current)? I've been looking all over for it, and haven't found it, even at Justice.

Now, let's take the argument the other way. Another group Brit leaves out of his calculation is the total number of PEOPLE (including Iraqi civilians, Iraqi resistance, aid workers, journalists, etc.) who have died through hostile action (attacks, bombings, action by the US/UK colonizing forces, crime) for the period May 2 - present. Of course, Brit would never give a stat on that, supposing the so-called Coalition Provisional Authority or anyone else even keeps such numbers, since it would clearly signal the failure of the US/UK colonizing forces to maintain even minimum standards of order.

As it stands, Brit is making a false comparison on any number of fronts: the function of US soldiers v. the function of the CA general population, the general population of CA is compared not to the general population of Iraq, but to a different (smaller) comparison group (apples and oranges fallacy), etc.

The man is either a liar or a fool. I'd stick with the former, since no school child of twelve could be so clueless about basic logic.

12. Why is he getting away with saying something so moronic...

I will be writing to him and whoever else will listen at FAUX to let them know that these types of comparisons are NOT okay!!!! Even if the stupid Sec. of Defense does it too.

8. Reporters should just read the news. The silly add ones are nuts.

Most do it now like they have something to talk about.The few times I watched Fox almost drove me to the bottle. That group that sits around and plays they have a brain with the three to gether is just to far out. They also always put them selfs with a girl that likes to show her underpants.I spend the whole time worried her mother may see her.

9. Stats by the Repubs as Usual

This is just more of the same for politics and news in general and especily the republicans. These people could pass a dosen courses on statistical methodology and then turn around and write up something like this the next day.

They just don't get it. Hume probobly actualy beleves he has some kind of legitimate point and this is just an academic disagreement on which statistic is more meaningfull.

What a load. But I'm sure I will hear someone repeat it. and sence it fits their world "view" and the truth dosen't they will think I am makeing things up when I tell them he is full of it and why.

Problem with lying in todays wilfuly ignorant society is IT WORKS.
