2. Someone better take a hard look at those protestors if this is true
I bet they are rethugs in liberal clothing... they've done it before, they'll do it again.

3. distract distract distract
Larry mowing down the crosses is a tough act to follow.

This sounds just like something they'd dream up to distract from that abomination.

4. Yup, certainly no bias in that report, huh?
The conservative outlet will post video evidence of the wounded veterans being taunted by protesters, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Yeah, I'm sure there will be no bias in that report, will there? :eyes:

And who is Drudge's sources? Jeff Gannon? or Sean Hannity? Does he split his time between the two?

10. Here:
" t r u t h o u t | One Mother's Stand
By Scott Galindez

1:49 PM

50 vets and family members held a spirited rally at the VA Hospital. They chanted, "Mr. President, we support the troops, why don't you!" and "Keep the VA Hospital open."

Cody Camacho of Iraq Veterans Against the War spoke about how he lost his family because his wife didn't know the Cody who came back from Iraq. Our troops need more, not fewer hospitals.

I am heading to the airport now to cover Cindy's return ... Stay tuned ...

We have a convoy, vets and military families are heading to the Waco VA Hospital. The hospital is known for its psychiatric services and slated for closure. With so many troops returning with a need for psychiatric services this is real indication of our government's commitment to supporting the troops. "

7. Sounds like Rove is on the warpath...
Too bad no one believes his lies anymore.

CNS News is a 'puke front:

"The Cybercast News Service was launched on June 16, 1998 as a news source for individuals, news organizations and broadcasters who put a higher premium on balance than spin and seek news that’s ignored or under-reported as a result of media bias by omission.

Study after study by the Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, clearly demonstrate a liberal bias in many news outlets – bias by commission and bias by omission – that results in a frequent double-standard in editorial decisions on what constitutes "news."

In response to these shortcomings, MRC Chairman L. Brent Bozell III founded CNSNews.com in an effort to provide an alternative news source that would cover stories that are subject to the bias of omission and report on other news subject to bias by commission."

18. LOL. Perfect. In the current Karl Rove world, the anti-war movement
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 10:37 PM by Pirate Smile
definitely needs to be undermined and I'm a bit surprised some "controversy" hasn't sprung up already.

19. We need to poll local anti war groups to see if it is indeed
anti war protesters doing the protesting, not bush bots posing as anti war activist.

24. No, we need to know for sure.
If no group takes credit, then we need to find out who did it.

28. people are going to get hurt because of Drudge's BS
I looked at what's going on at FR and they're forming a lynch mob because of Drudge's headline.

Looking at some of the pictures posted there, the "anti-war" crowd has the SAVE WALTER REED signs and the ones with guys wearing Rush's 'Club Gitmo' shirts and 'W' hats are carrying CODE PINK signs with anti-troop bullshit contrived to inflame this mob mentality so easily motivated by Drudge's lie, be careful.
