Scarborough pushing booing the troops meme hard

[BeyondGeography]

Over and over again; praises Hillary for "injecting moderation" to an otherwise out-of-control audience. Even after playing the clip where the crowd listens quietly while she extols the American "accomplishments" in Iraq and only starts booing (and a minority at that) when she rips the Iraqi government, he still shakes his head and says "unbelieveable."

What's unbelieveable is the widespread failure to understand what happened at TBA yesterday. Then again, that would entail an acceptance that we are to blame for the disaster in Iraq, not the Iraqis, which makes this pathetic display all too believeable.

1. I blame Lord Xenu. The Iraqis are suppressive and glib.

2. I think Kerry got it right a long time ago--says Iraqi leaders squabbling over power

while the country burns.

4. Who lit the fire?

Kerry's line is more acceptable, and one can always criticize specific acts by the government, but what HRC did yesterday was basically say, "we've done our job, they haven't done theirs." Which ignores the fact that the Iraqi people never asked for a unilateral invasion and, more important, had no control over the many things that we mismanaged in the months after the invasion. Namely, the failure to establish security, the firing of the entire Iraqi army, and the near-total purging of the B'aath Party, which turned the entire Sunni professional class against us and created the insurgency.

This country has no memory whatsoever; it's convenient to blame the Iraqis for their problems and to exonerate ourselves. Those who booed HRC yesterday were only calling her on her bullshit. Sad and predictable that it would be spun into booing the troops and ripping the anti-war, pro common-sense position.

5. It's not just Joe. This has been discussed on several shows

The chatter has been that the dem audience was classless, and the booing has made Hillary more sympathetic


I agree. It's not like it was a dem audience listening to republican speakers.


In my opinion the boo-birds only further the meme of many, that dems

are troop hating, America loathing loons.


Shame on these boo-bums
