When you consider how many times liberals have laughed out loud at the possibility of violence directed towards the right, Michael Moore’s whining is pitiful and somehow strangely gratifying.

If PBS’ Tavis Smiley can call George Bush a liar for taking us into the Iraq War: Morning Joe Skirmish As Smiley Recycles ‘Bush Lied’ (and I can’t believe we’re still debating this), what would he have to say about all these Democrats who said the same thing, and in some cases LONG BEFORE George Bush even won the presidency…?

Obama: Al-Qaida head bin Laden dead
Obama struck a less than boastful tone in his brief announcement, although he said the death of bin Laden was “the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al-Qaida.

Moments after he spoke, American officials cautioned that the events could lead to heightened threats against the United States.

So, it turns out we’ve known about bin Laden’s compound since November…. So why cash the chips in now?

A political cynic might think this hit was carried out at this particular time to halt the president’s plummeting poll numbers.

Had President Bush been in office, the left would have counted up all al Qaeda-sponsored terror incident victims since November and put their blood squarely on his hands.

Interesting timing of the announcement (roughly midnight Eastern time Monday morning), sure to dominate all the news going into the week.

Remember the media pattern: when Republicans are victorious they are warned not to gloat. Democrat victories are routinely in-your-face and documented.

Obama: “At My Direction” U.S. Carried Out Operation Against Bin Laden
The Associated Press covered for the president, noting he wasn’t gloating. Obviously it was assumed a lot of Americans thought he would. However, the pictures of Americans celebrating the death of a notorious Muslim will be viewed around the world as provocative.

Also noted in the AP piece is that while Osama bin Laden is dead, al Qaeda didin’t just go away and “American officials” warned there could be retaliation. That’s kind of a given, but seeing how we have a president with long arms to pat his own back and a media that will over-document American jubilation at the death of a Muslim icon, a reminder to be “vigilant” was in order.

However it all goes down, a special thanks to the CIA paramilitaries and Navy SEAL Team Six. Good huntin’ and good shootin’.

Three days, 100 kilometers, and 14 military service members wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Warrior 100 is a unique mountain bike event in west Texas made possible by the George W. Bush Presidential Center … and the President himself put on a helmet and placed his feet to the pedals.

I really do miss that man.

The left just won’t let the WMD-Iraq thing go, despite the very logical explanations… and is the Piers Morgan downward ratings tank deserved?

What Happened to the Antiwar Movement?
Face it, war and homelessness is only a concern to the left when a Republican is in the White House.

While Julian Assange is chillin’ in a British countryside estate-style of home confinement, Pvt. Bradley is in activist-described solitary “torture” confinement. Julian has also said he’s never met Manning….

The Wikileaks editor — who was released on bail in London on Thursday — denied knowing Bradley Manning, the army private who is being held in a military jail in Quantico, Virginia on charges that include leaking classified material. “I had never heard of the name Bradley Manning before it was published in the press,” Assange told ABC News on Friday.

Which just happens to run counter to what Manning said in an earlier conversation.

As a low-ranking intelligence analyst, he had access to a vast archive of sensitive documents on the military’s classified computer network, SIPRnet or the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network.

In online conversations published in the magazine Wired, with a former hacker, Adrian Lamo, Manning said “let’s just say ‘someone’ I know intimately well, has been penetrating U.S. classified networks,” and transferring the data “to a crazy white-haired Aussie who can’t seem to stay in one country very long,” an apparent reference to Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.

Seeing how Bradley must be well aware of the comfort of Julian’s detention area compared to his cell, I wonder what else Pvt. Manning can enlighten us about regarding Assange’s activities?

Someone is lying here and there appears to be one who has more to lose than the other.

Julian Assange looks like your average nerdy, limp-wristed, wimpy, Metrosexual type. Now, he’s coming off like one.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange tried to hide his bail address from the public in an astonishing move for the man responsible for leaking thousands of diplomatic secrets.

Assange’s lawyers argued that the location – a 10-bedroom stately home – should not be disclosed on grounds of privacy during yesterday’s hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

This man and his merry band of juvenile hackers have damaged the diplomatic apparatus of many nations, put the national security of some and lives of others at risk, disrupted the service of major corporations by posting stolen sensitive documents on the Internet… and now HE wants privacy!

If anything, this blatant do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do proves he’s a progressive.

Clearly a case of someone who thinks a little too highly of himself, in the grand scheme of things….

We risk ourselves out there on the field each and every day also. When soldiers come home from Iraq you don’t boo them. I look at it the same way. I take my job seriously.
— Antrel Rolle, safety for the New York Giants, on WFAN

There’s so much wrong with this but if you don’t want to be booed by your home crowd, don’t suck on the field. As for his comparing himself to a soldier in a real war zone, he deserves all the boos he gets.

The liberal media is a joke and is appropriately being treated as such.

This just in from my friend Roger Aronoff of Accuracy in Media.

A painful watch….

While the Tea Party health care reform protest in Washington, D.C. was going on, here’s some footage the mainstream media just happened to miss just down the street…

“That’s what we think of this country”

Now, which group would you feel more comfortable hanging with…?

After Hollywood celebrities and Motion Picture Academy patted themselves on the back for their newfound support of soldiers with the victory of The Hurt Locker, get ready for one of those Bush-sucks, the-war-is-immoral, the-military-is-evil productions to hit the screens.

After all of Hollywood’s Iraq movies have flopped (even the Oscar-garlanded “The Hurt Locker” earned only $15 million at the box office), one studio thinks it has the following secret to success: The previous films didn’t insult the United States enough. “Green Zone,” opening Friday, is a $100 million slime job that conjures up a fantastically distorted leftist version of the war and wraps it around a frantic but preposterous action picture.

We’re supposed to cheer for include Sunni officers who shoot down helicopters carrying American soldiers sent to assassinate them.

It must be nice to create products deemed important, that continue to flop, suffer few public repercussions, and still get paid.

Don’t try this at home.

We saw The Hurt Locker, I found it initially tense and I moved on to other things after around 30 of the 130 minutes. Then again, I know nothing about diffusing improvised explosives.

Some Iraq, Afghanistan war veterans criticize movie ‘Hurt Locker’ as inaccurate
Time magazine called “The Hurt Locker” “a near-perfect war film,” but Ryan Gallucci, an Iraq war veteran, had to turn the movie off three times, he says, “or else I would have thrown my remote through the television.”
‘The Hurt Locker’ sets off conflict
Some soldiers and veterans say the movie, a favorite for the best picture Oscar, portrays them as renegades and doesn’t depict combat accurately. But film critics have praised its authenticity.

We’ve got to appreciate the judgment of critics, because (after all) what do soldiers know…?

It’s too bad he won’t run for top of the ticket. Dick Cheney is clearly the smartest man in politics today, because if he weren’t, the administration wouldn’t be bothered with him.

Dick Cheney – Obama’s worst nightmare
Definitely.

This administration must really think the American people are stupid. Their left wing may buy this bullshit, but the fact they believe the rest of us will is beyond maddening.

BIDEN:  I’m very optimistic about — about Iraq, and this can be one of the great achievements of this administration.  You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the, uh, end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.

RUSH:  Do you know how hard it is to really not blow a gasket when you hear something like this?  It was Joe Lieberman and Barack Obama who opposed the surge, who proclaimed defeat in front of General Petraeus. They opposed everything that led to whatever they think now is stable in Iraq.  Obama and Biden wanted to leave in defeat!  Harry Reid: “This war is lost.” These people threw the US military under the bus!  These people were doing everything they can to secure a defeat for the United States military and he has the chutzpah to go on Larry King Live and say, “This could be one of the great achievements of this administration.” Now, I know that there is rabid hatred for anything Bush in the far left of this country, and I just wonder if they even fall for this.  One of the great achievements of this administration? They don’t have an achievement, folks.  Not as you and I would measure achievements.  The Obama administration doesn’t have one thing they have done positively for this country.  I was all set to say that I think may Obama is dumber than Biden, until I heard that.

Time to check the blood pressure.

This happened back on December 2nd. Any guesses as to why we didn’t see this all over our media?

Muntazer al-Zaidi – who became a national hero in Iraq after hurling his footwear at the then US president last year – was speaking at a press conference to promote his campaign for victims of the Iraq war when a man threw a shoe at him. Zaidi ducked and the shoe hit the wall behind him. Film footage showed that a scuffle then broke out in the audience. “He stole my technique,” Zaidi said afterwards.

Not to worry, Munty. There are a lot of people who’d want to practice your technique if you would be the target.

It’s truly a sign of the times.

This punk ass kid is all annoyed that I deleted his comments from my YouTube channel. I could have flagged the little shit. It must be nice to be 17, know everything about the Iraq War which started before he hit puberty, and behind the cloak of anonymity, ask someone else to shoot someone he disagreed with.

He’ll grow up to be one outstanding, Indian liberal.
