Do you care if soldiers lose their arms and legs?
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 05:37 PM by Postman
Could you imagine such a question being asked by MSNBC after doing a story on injured soldiers from the Iraq War?

They didn't ask that question and they didn't do a story on injured soldiers.

I bring the "ridiculous question" issue up because MSNBC DID do a story on the Plame Case, outlining how VP Cheney may have given "Scooter" Libby the name of Valerie Plame. After the very damning story possibly creating a crisis in government, MSNBC popped up their blog question - "Do you care about the CIA leak case?" --as if to suggest this issue really isn't that important, go back to sleep suckers.

What a bunch of friggin' A-holes.

1. Not if they simply misplaced them, no.
Then it's their fault.

But if they lost them because a fake president lied them into an illegal war and they got their limbs blown off because of it, then yes, I care. I care deeply.

Deeply enough to suggest that for every arm or leg lost by a soldier, a senator or other administration who voted in favor of this illegal unethical tragedy should lose an arm or a leg.

"Do you care about the CIA case" - what a dumb question. But in a sense a good one, because anyone who says "NO" we know to be either a freeper, or someone who simply doesn't deserve to live here.

3. Traitors should not be allowed the opportunity
for redemption through martyrdom.

I say we just deep-6 'em at the ballot box.

2. Unbelievably flip and snotty
Stunned that they would actually say something like that. "Do you care about treason? Because we sure don't, ha ha ha ha. Whiiiiiiiine."

Even for MSNBStupid, that's pretty stinkin' low.
