Carol Platt Liebau: Lefty Wishful Thinking

Lefty Wishful Thinking

Over at the Fox News site, Martin Frost writes,

We truly live in a dangerous world and the United States should lead the way in ridding the world of Al Qaeda. To accomplish this, liberals should support a strong U.S. military and significant funding for homeland security. Many traditional liberals, both in Congress and in the general public, have done just that.

Care to name names? Who, exactly, are these "traditional liberals" -- besides Joe Lieberman?

Surely he's not talking about people like John Murtha (denominated a "hawk" by an adoring MSM here and here and here, for example). Suffice it to say that, although we see no names being specified, it's not because there are too many to include.

I'm still waiting to hear a Democratic senator denounce The New York Times for betraying the details of an effective and lawful program designed to catch Al Qaeda and protect the American people. Congress was briefed on it, and if the author of the linked piece truly believes that "the United States should lead the way in ridding the world of Al Qaeda" -- and believes his Democratic buddies believe it -- they'd best speak up.

Because that's not the impression most of America is getting.

They're losing it, just as they'll lose it come November.

The freedom of expression does not include divulging classified information. Why do you think it's classified?

Maybe the Time should just sell the Terrorists some nukes, so they can express themselves the way they'd like to. Un-be-liev-able...When will the Madness end?!

The MSM is full of desperate crackpots, because their readership is in SERIOUS decline.

In light of reports that the Sun-Sentinel intends to issue a retraction of Murtha's comments tomorrow, I will verify that's the case, and if so, I will of course make note of it in a post.

Ditto:

"With each episode where the Bush administration accuses the free press or free citizens of 'treason' ..."

Can you cite a single, specific case of the Bush Administration accusing anyone of treason?

Treason being extraordinarily difficult to prosecute, I wouldn't count on any administration official using that word.

Nothing in Washington is classified anymore. They need to find who leaked it, and send them down to Gitmo for some rest and relaxation. Those who leaked it are the ones who signed an oath when they received their security clearances. Wonder what the odds are that they are left wingers? If they are not, send 'em away too.

dhead, there's a big difference between saying "we're watching financial records more closely since 9/11" and publishing details and specifics. You still haven't answered my previous question, does it matter if information is classified?

I'll add another, if it were a Democrat in the WH, and Rush Limbaugh broadcast the information, would you have a different tune? (I know that's unfair, because a Democrat in the WH would only care about the minimum wage, and not WoT)

That IS brilliant. How about arsenic in mouthwash? Or plutonium fillings? I know, lead teething rings!

2 to 1 trust WHICH media over the government? When there is NO TRUST in either, that's a pretty worthless stat to throw out...
