I think that war was on another level of intensity compared to WWII, I'm sure the taunting hippies stateside didnt help much either. True enough.
Still we should make a clear distinction between protesting the war and protesting the soldiers who are doing their job.
Not to me.Quote:

Fu-ck-ing shameless... Just fucking shameless..." The mood was in the context of wanting to take back the flag back from Rush, Fox News and all that... Such noble intentions, but with an unbelievably extreme temper tantrum.Quote:
Ann Coulter, given her views and the fact that she is unmarried, must be a virgin. How about that... Virgin Milf. Maybe that's why she's so damned angry seeming and distinctly unfunny.
If we're talking strictly Franken's partisan books, I've only read tidbits of the humor which I didn't find funny. They're designed to appeal to a specific group, and offend the opposing one, like Ann's. I really don't know how to win the argument, "No dude, you're wrong, my partisan political satirist is funnier." If you're trying to mix in his SNL past, that's another thing. He'll win out given his experience and it's not valid to compare the two against each other there. But, that really wasn't what I took issue with; it was the broad view that liberals have suffered more for one thing, and partisan books by someone like Franken are funny to everyone. He was dealing with a particular partisan book so the premise didn't make sense. The group that's being attacked, viciously at that, will find it distinctly unfunny.
Anyway, I'm wondering what Ann's recent book had to do with what I said. Peter Jennings was the one that challenged Wesley Clark on Moore's deserter comment at a dem debate.
Al Franken is one of the most repugnant people in journalism, no question. He's right up there with the absolute worst of the liberal hawks at the BBC.
Oh well, I'm not argueing with you. I'm saying. So yeah, you certianly can't win that one. I didn't present an arguement. Didn't say Al Frankin was or was not angry either. You assumed that one. And I say all of this, and I wish you could see it, with a smirk.Quote:

and diffX what makes you think the BBC is liberal? their news and the german news seem to be the closest thing to news you can find on tv to straight and dry facts, no music or american flags waving in the background, just the news as boring as it may be.
Sounds more than reasonable.Quote:

Have you been following the whole BBC "Sexed up" scandal and the Hutton Report? The BBC was seriously discredited around a fortnight ago.
And besides, I wasnt referring to the ENTIRE BBC. And actually I should've checked my facts more, I was referring actually to idiots like Robert Fisk, but he writes for the Independent.
I wish everyone was so easily discredited.Quote:
