Random Nuclear Strikes

The bloggard left is up in arms over the story that someone connected to Fox News may have paid up to $2Million to speed the release of Steve Centanni and Olag Wiig, with John Avarosis of the AmericaBlog going so far as to say

And the Bush administration, they were heavily involved in this effort to free the FOX reporters – were they aware that someone was paying off terrorists? Were they the ones who arranged payment? This is abominable if true.

When I did a search of AmericaBlog, I found no mention of previously “captured” Italian psuedo-reporter and avowed America hater, Giuliana Sgrena. No surprise, though. Iit wouldn’t be like Avarosis to actually report real news anyway. But I decided to refrain from searching other left-wing blogs on the subject in order to not embarass him by showing how his side of the sphere came down on the side of funding al Qaeda in Iraq to get a terrorist sympathizer out of the clutches of actual terrorists.

Speaking of Fox News, a memo from their VP was “exposed” by HuffPo (here) in which he directs the news crews to look into “What is the Dem plan for Iraq?”, “be on the lookout for any statements from the Iraqi insurgents” cheering the Dem win last week, and report on the Democrat in-fighting during the Hoyer/Murtha vote for House Majority Leader spot.

Yawn.

These are stories I’d be interested in, and suspect that a large portion of the American news watching public would be as well.

But Cenk Uygur, of “The Young Turks” radio show fame, thinks this is reason enough to demand the firing of Fox News VP, John Moody.

In fact, he compares this memo from Moody to the removal of Dan Rather from the CBS Newsdesk when Rather used forged documents. I swear, if these people could analogize, they be dangerous.

Now, if Moody had pulled an Eason Jordan and claimed that Democrats were killing jounalists on purpose, then he should have been made to step down. But for doing his job, no fooking way.

Ok, now stop laughing. The leftists are delusional for a reason.

What that reason is is beyond me, but that is the rumor I heard on Fox News.

You can tell because he nails it.

Puggs the Grey found a piece by Amanda Platell in the UK’s Daily Mail where she compares Bush to Borat (don’t worry, I’m waiting until it comes out on video too).

Platell cracks a couple good ones on Bush, but then sees the light of why doing so isn’t the best idea

In mocking Bush and deliberately distorting his values, we risk pandering to the fanatics’ portrayal of the President as the pantomime villain of global politics, a blood-sucking monster who rejoices in the deaths of innocents and the destruction of Muslim homelands.

This at a time when M15 chief Eliza Manningham-Buller warns us there are 200 terror cells at work here and 30 high-priority plots to wreak mayhem and murder on our streets.

For all Baron Cohen’s implicit cultural superiority, when it comes down to a real challenge against our freedom, the only country that counts is America.

Britain might have the most advanced sense of humour in the world, but we couldn’t fight our way out of a paper bag without America’s help, let alone against an Al Qaeda onslaught.

Puggs continues in good form, as always

How many democrats who delighted in these jokes, woke up after election day to see how Al Qaeda and Iran were congratulating them on winning and beginning the unilateral surrender of America… and sat there in shock? Angry, pissed that the enemies of the United States saw them as advocating surrender? We tried to tell you, but you said it was hate politics….

Well the enemy did congratulate you.

So you can lay off the rethoric of partisan bashing, act in our best interests and learn from it. Learn that evil doesn’t care how you use their words, just that you do.

On one final note, I’d just like to point to our fine progressive, David Neiwert, for a leftist’s explanation as to why al Qaeda cheering a Dem win doesn’t mean that the left is helping them

Hindrocket wonders, “Are Terrorists the Democrats’ Biggest Fans?”

Gee, I dunno, do you suppose the Iranian hostage takers were Ronald Reagan’s biggest fans back in 1980?

The same radical Islamists Bob Gates reportedly held secret negotiations with during the 1980 campaign?

Yes folks, there you have it: Bargaining for the lives of fellow Americans is morally equivalent to an election win in which your main campaign promise was to let the terrorists have Iraq as their playground.

As Ben said previously: Don’t think about that for too long, otherwise your brains will leak like shit out of your ears.
