Brit Hume is attempting to downplay Iraqi civilian deaths.

[11 Bravo]

He writes that the organization Iraqi Body Count, which estimates that 25,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in the first two years following the US invasion, is comprised of a bunch of unbalanced left-wingers. Therefore, according to Brit, people should "consider the source" when viewing any IBC report. I sent him the following:

Dear Mr. Hume.
If everyone were to "consider the source" whereby they obtain their news, FauxNews would cease to exist, the "talent" employed by FNC would actually have to seek gainful employment, and Ruppert Murdoch could go back to counting his money and pulling the wings off flies.
Sincerely,

[whistle]

1. The number is over 125,000

[dogday]

2. Britt Hume is a puppet of the administration

He does what he is told. He has no ideas, only party lines....

[bunkerbuster1]

6. A meat puppet, at that.

Unca Karl sez "Jump," and Britt the Shitt sez, "How high?"

[CottonBear]

3. Great reply.

Hume ought to consult the British medical journal, The Lancet, which has documented civilian and military deaths in Iraq.

[Canuckistanian]

4. There's no money in it

Iraq futures are worthless.

[Sandpiper]

5. The saddest part is that IBC is a low ball estimate

That counts only reported deaths.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

8. Well, in that case..

..the people reporting these so-called "deaths" must have a liberal agenda of their own!

[noiretextatique]

7. great reply to a hypocrite

"consider the source"...indeed :eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Those people there aren't innocent civilians...they're "insurgents"...

espcially that baby laying there in the sand. :puke:

[Village Idiot]

10. It's a JOKE.

US dead and wounded total close to 16,000...are we supposed to believe that it took the death and/or dismemberment of 16,000 USAsians to kill 25,000 poorly equipped Iraqis?

Please.

I am waaaaaaay more inclined to believe the > 100,000 total...but that's just my take.

[Rex]

11. Hume is a flesh eating ghoul

all he cares about it the bottom line. I wonder if he plays 'hide the phonesex" with O'Lielly?

[samsingh]

12. unbalanced left wingers are still more accurate than

unbalanced right wingers.

how does Hume feel about a government run by extemist right-wingers?
