Moveon. Nothing to see here........

You see, the generals Fox was criticizing WERE traitors, because they didn't want their soldiers to kill indiscriminately -- and they didn't want their soldiers to torture A-rabs! Don't you know we're losing the war because of the "PC" restrictions put on the troops?

The distinction between Good Generals and Bad Generals should be obvious, even to you.

:)

The problem with the MoveOn wasn't that they called a General a traitor. The problem is that only War Cheerleaders are allowed to do so. MoveOn stole a page from the foamer playbook and now their REALLY pissed.

I hear there are going to be some sternly-worded letters about this. The Republicans are really terrified of those letters!

For me, the most interesting part of the excerpt Glenn posted was the disparaging reference to Rumsfeld and the statement that generals should be put on trial for following him.

I don't frequent right-wing websites, as I clearly don't have Glenn's intestinal fortitude. So my question is: is Rumsfeld now fair game on the right? If so, that's news to me. It also seems pretty dangerous for their movement, since he's one of the best examples of the neocon mindset (read: incompetence).

I realize that the neocons are the Stalinists of our age (just airbrush Trotsky/Rumsfeld out of that photo and the problem goes away), but this still seems like a significant development. After all, Bush picked Rumsfeld despite, or because of, the latter's antagonistic relationship with Bush I. This is all getting awfully close to home, it seems.

how do we minimize the damage O'deilly caused by dissing the troops?....hmmm

I know! Lets publish something that flagrantly disses the Generals. Surely the MoveOn attack dogs will fall off of our hero Bill to attack Rupert's minions and then we'll all escape!

Yea...that's the ticket!

It exists in the same system as the Bizarro World and possibly same dimension as Mr. Mxyzptlk.

That's the only plausible explanation.

Who'd a thunk, right, that these clowns would have painted themselves into a corner with their dopey 'dump on MoveOn' rhetoric? Duh! This episode reminds me of when Larry Flynt exposed Republican hypocrits back in the Clinton impeachment era. Was there ever any doubt that the closets were full of skeletons?

Of course, as Glenn well knows, not a single Republican will vote to condemn the Fox opinion channel for this travesty. The Republicans are to real outrage as Fox is to real news.
