Frank, it seems your sole mission in life is to prove that all liberals are self-inflated surrender monkeys, but most of us want good news to come out of Iraq
May I make a change or two?
My mission in life is to demonstrate the truth of the notion that all liberals are self-inflated surrender monkeys, and you seem not to applaud any good news that comes out of Iraq. To the contrary, you routinely minimize it.

Oliver…

Your representation of the link you yourself posted is grossly innacurate. You either misunderstood it badly–an amusing possibility considering you came from an angle of how stupid conservatives are–or you deliberately LIED about the contents of the article.

“The results [of a statistical study], they said, were unequivocal: Coverage caused more attacks, and attacks caused more coverage — a mutually beneficial spiral of death that they say has increased because of a heightened interest in terrorism since Sept. 11, 2001.

One partial solution: Deny groups publicity by not publicly naming the attackers, Frey said.”

Emphasis is my own. Please tell me how this suggestion can be described as “pretending terror attacks don’t happen.”

Anybody?

Well duh. Cutting terrorist off from the media would be like cutting them off from oxygen. Ain’t gonna happen in a free society, so it was a stupid suggestion.

Frank, it seems your sole mission in life is to prove that all liberals are self-inflated surrender monkeys, but most of us want good news to come out of Iraq even if we may not have supported the mission. In my case, that’s partially because I have several family members rotating in and out of the Middle East, including Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq. This might explain why the best news for me and mine would be simply to redeploy our troops.

What’s your attitude towards praising the positive news from Iraq?
Tell the truth.

These are the guys who flag every occurance of a news outlet not-showing beheading videos as shameless appeasement.

Those conservative bloggers who want the media to stop paying attention to terrorist attacks? Google them for mentions of 9/11. Dean Esmay, for example, gets 11,300 hits.
