Flushing Credibility Down the Toilet - The Rude Pundit

gives Newsweek what-for. (PG-13, graphic language) :eyes:

"What Newsweek has done is give Bush and the entire war apparatus a pass on torture. Dan Rather's "apology" on the Killian memo story effectively killed any questioning of Bush's Vietnam War punk out because those questions were tainted by the not-quite-checked-out documents rushed on the air.

Now the same will happen to any non-photographed allegations of torture or prisoner abuse. The Rude Pundit's ears bleed in anticipation of hearing Sean Hannity retch out, "Oh, you must be one of those who believed the Newsweek story" to anyone who says that prisoners at Guantanamo ought not be smeared with fake menstrual blood in order to get them to confess to anything. Once more, the Bush White House has stumbled into a way to divert the story away, away from systematic torture, away from false imprisonment, away from all of those horrors that have become the status quo for this America. Away from all the crimes committed in our names."

1. I love the Rude Pundit

He makes some damn good points.

5. He rants for me.

And I appreciate him for it.

Generally I can't get a good stream-of-consciousness cussing going unless I've peeled the skin from four knuckles when the wrench slips and there's sweat in my eyes and only then when nobody's within earshot, and because of the circumstances the flow although sufficiently loud and profane often lacks focus.

He gives these people a good foxy cussin' which is something they badly need. I benefit from his anger. :D

2. Rude Pundit should be required reading for our Dem "Leadership"

and the SCLM.

Here, just the wrapup, guys. Just read the fuckin' wrapup:

The riots weren't about flushing the Koran or the words of an American newsmagazine. That story's been around for years now. But it's become the story, as has Newsweek and its pussy editors. Apologies won't matter for this White House and its "allies" in the Muslim world. The White House wants Newsweek to be the beheaded corpse outside the Fourth Estate - a warning to all who would fuck with them. This is a blood game, and, motherfuckers, if you're not doing the cutting, you're the ones bleeding to death.

3. "If you're not with us, you're against us."

I luv RudePundit too, but I don't quite agree with the closing line. Sounds a little *too* familiar.

Still, the rest of it is spot on.

Peace.

4. I think you misread

I think the last line was a continuation of what the Bush administration is saying the media outlets. :shrug:
