To paraphrase someone:
Michelle Malkin, we must begin to understand, has no fucking idea what she’s talking about at any given moment.
Bob Geiger on the most recent infraction against sanity:
And here we have so many conservative bloggers, after days of castigating the Associated Press for running what the wingnuts claimed was a fictitious story about six Sunnis being burned alive in sectarian violence in Iraq on Friday, having to once again face what a bunch of putzes they really are.
The AP is reporting tonight on eyewitnesses to the immolations, that occurred when Sunni worshippers were leaving a Mosque on Friday and have also substantiated the identity of Iraqi police Capt. Jamil Hussein, who the AP cited as the primary source for its story that the Sunnis were killed while the Iraqi military stood by and did nothing.
This is not an isolated incident folks, this happens all the time. During the run-up to this year’s elections I had to ask if I was crazy or what for not seeing the same reality the conservatives swore up and down that they were seeing. They claimed that the polls were rigged, that the media was engaged in a conspiracy with the Democrats, and that the Republicans would hold the House and Senate. They said this when someone could have dropped in from Mars, looked at the numbers and told Dennis Hastert to clean out his Speaker’s desk and wipe up the slime trail behind him. But like they did with Iraq, Katrina, Terri Schiavo, and any of five million issues over the last ten years the right was wrong.
No, not just “wrong”. Amazingly, freakishly, mind-numblingly wrong.
And what penalty do they suffer for this? Does the press ostracize them or alienate them? No, they put people on the air who actively hate all Muslims as some kind of expert on Islam. They ask women with the intellectual strength and honesty of a moth (I don’t mean to insult moths, actually) to comment on war and immigration and the most important issues of the day!
They are wrong in everything they do. They will be wrong until the cows come home, and even then they will see goats where there are only cows.
Say, Oliver, why not write utter untrue crap like Magalagadingdong and Assrocket write? They make good money doing it.
So what you’re saying is they’re wrong?
It might be worth mentioning that We’re Right…
Do you remember how they couldn’t get enough of documenting every sick, miniscule detail of video beheadings a couple of years ago? Back then, making out how horrible it was, and sensationalizing it, seemed to fit their purposes.
Now, not so much.
I’ve been visiting her site a lot lately; it’s been fun to see her ready the torches and pitchforks for John Murtha and Alcee Hastings, then have to put them down again.
All I can add is ‘Stupid is as stupid does’.
Wow, she looks hot in that strip of photos accompanying the article.
I’m just sayin’, that’s all…
Why mock her ethnicity Diamond? That don’t seem right.
Amen, brother.
I’ve been wondering why nobody in the mainstream media will ever mention how wrong all these conservative “experts” have been over the years. They still have them on as guests despite their track record of being wrong on almost everything.
I can still picture Bill O’Reilly saying (lying) that if we never found WMD in Iraq, he would go on the air every day saying the war in Iraq was wrong. Why does nobody call him on that? He’s STILL spinning that the war was necessary. O’Reilly is even rewarded with appearances on shows like Good Morning America.
Also, why is it that the left-wing commentators who have been RIGHT about everything, like Michael Moore for example, are persona non grata on any of these mainstream shows. They are labelled “propagandists” even after they are proven right.
Nice work Oliver. The Kool Aid crowd will continue their alternate reality, noting that Iraq was a glorious victory until Nov. 7th.
Malkin soon will be reduced to working the smaller satellite conference rooms at the Sheraton during CPAC, selling airbrushed glossies to her base.
Paging Dr. Peedro. Paging Dr. Peedro.
Dr. Peedro?
As expected, Sawbones has made himself scarce. He was trumpeting Malkin’s nonsense here earlier in the week, but oddly has nothing to add to the conversation today.
Dugger behaviour pattern #223: completely fail to ever acknowledge the real subject and make up something completely stupid to attack the other guy with.
Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham… what is it about Republicans and bitchiness?
Why do they automatically believe a female if she’s attractive in a hard sort of way, angry beyond imagination, mean-spirited, and heartless?
Mike’s right, she does look hot there.
Yeah Yeah – mean-spirited and angry and just so wrong.
Still – don’t ya think she’s hot?
Aah, my friend, it’s much more evil and insidious than mere stupidity.
In fact, whether what the Michelle Malkins, Ann Coulters, Rush Limbaughs, Sean Hannitys and Bill O’Reillys say is TRUE or not is completely irrelevent to them; the idea is to just get the nasty MEMEs out, infecting and warping public opinion before the facts can be confirmed.
They have a very real agenda, and are every bit as beholden to the Bush cabal of neoCONs as the White House’s most frequent overnighter, gay hooker/White House press corps plant Jeff Gannon.
Deborah,
One word for you: BABS. The f-word ranter.
How about Cynthia “Bush knew about 9-11″ McKinney?
Hmm they were able to find “witnesses”? Sort of like NOT being able to find witnesses at mob shooting in broad daylight. Still no answer as to why that police captain is registered with the Iraqi government eh?
And yea, no question the VRWC never seems to get it right on any of the big issues…I mean Monica Lewinsky never happened, and Dan Rather did have a “way back machine” that allowed them to use microsoft office in 1968.
Oh and Deborah, the same reason we DON’T believe a female if she is unkempt, unwashed, unshaved and horribly self-righteous I guess.
How about Cynthia “lost-the-Democratic-primary” McKinney?
How about Barbra “I’d-have-no-idea-what-her-politics-were-if-the-Right-didn’t-foam-at-the-mouth-over-everything-she-says” Streisand?
One word for you: BABS. The f-word ranter.
How about Cynthia “Bush knew about 9-11″ McKinney?
What about ‘em? If you think they’re hot, you can admit it. We’re all grownups here.
OK, most of you are grownups.
Actually, have you seen “What’s Up Doc”? Babs looked pretty damn good in that one.
Funniest part: So it looked bad for the AP. But today, the AP struck back, pushing pretty much all the chips into the middle of the table. Michelle Malkin has all the details and links, so I won’t recreate that wheel.
“Recreate that wheel”? That’s funny.
All good points of this post aside, I see a few people commenting on Michelle Malkin’s looks and how she’s hot.
1. I don’t care how hot someone is – when they spew the hatred and unintelligent ramblings that they do, they instantly become unhot.
2. She’s not hot. To me, she looks like some cheap rate, 5 dollar ‘love you long time’ whore who would gladly jump into bed with the highest bidder.
I don’t mean to make this comment racially sensitive with the reference to a “5 dollar love-you-long-time” type persona but…
…that’s what she looks like to me.
“They all need some big thing stuck in their mouths to shut up all the hate and propaganda!!!!”
Ugh…. is that what passes for civilized discourse on the left?
wow, the liberal females forget all about feminism when you have a right wing female commentator eh.
All of a sudden it is all about “whores” and “bitchiness”….
sort of reminds of NOW during the clinton debacle…all of a sudden all that talk of “abuse of authority” and taking advantage of subordinates just went out the window…with most of the NOW office taking a long vacation during the whole event
Suddenly, this thread is filled with commenters whose names are so unfamiliar.
Why would that be? Anyone?
as long as news is about conflict, ratings and titillation rather than facts, this will continue.
JoeAnonymous wrote: “she looks like some cheap rate, 5 dollar ‘love you long time’ whore who would gladly jump into bed with the highest bidder.”
Why so hateful and racist?
Btw, your post doesn’t even make sense. Is it 5 dollars or the highest bidder? Make up your mind.
whew!
Come on! Some of you good liberal lefties step in and stop this misogynist insanity…please!
I love it when liberal hypocrisy airs itself out…!
Oh yes, Pedro, because all these rude commenters are definitely liberals who have dropped their masks and pretenses!
They’re certainly not Malkinites who come in, drop these bombs, accuse the “left” of being hateful, shift attention away from Malkin’s hackery, then never are seen again!
This has never happened on the Internet before!
I see the Malkinites have arrived dressed for a masquerade.
Do try not to be boring, visitors.
The arrival of the Malkanites was announced long before they were seen by the unmistakable stench of the sewer they share with their goddess.
aha…that is the new ploy…
when the liberal kos’tards show off their true colors, just claim it is the VRWC!
LOL
Oh, and it looks like the iraqi’s are going to come out and explain that the “police” officer that the AP keeps quoting doesn’t actually exist again.
Hard to believe that the press that brought us Jason Blair and Dan Rather may have, again, lied to us.
Sure. Tell you what Dr. Petey. If that happens, be sure to come back here and post it.
Michelle Malkin is Satan’s fuck toy.
just claim it is the VRWC!
Have you seen any of these handles in threads before today, Peed’?
Just coincidence, I’m sure.
Oh, what the hell, I haven’t had my FDA-recommended daily dosage of ad hominem attacks and personal insults, so I might as will say something here.
1) Nice to see that the attacks on Malkin are being restrained to her words and deeds, and the fact that she’s Filipino and female are rightfully being ignored as irrelevant. Whoops, my bad…
2) Yes, the AP confirmed that their Iraqi police captain was legitimate by that time-honored and universally-accepted technique of asking him “are you for real?” and taking him at his word. Meanwhile, the Iraqi government repeatedly says there IS NO police captain by that name anywhere.
3) Our host, in his continuing strides towards asserting his independence, cites not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE links to his Soros-funded day job to back up his allegations that… um… well, I guess that his employer’s official position is that conservatives tend to say conservative things when interviewed. The only time they should be cited in the press is to be castigated and reviled, and never on their opinions and observations.
4) Oliver’s other two citations are one to show where he adapted his “money quote” from, and one to hang the rest of his piece on.
5) Predictions, even optimistic ones, are “lies.” Judging by that standard, our host was lying to encourage Democrats to get out and vote by saying the Democrats would gain only 5 seats in the Senate and 16 in the House (http://www.oliverwillis.com/2006/10/election_predic.html) when the actual totals were 6 and 30. Where’s the apology for that lie?
(Yes, I also made a prediction, saying that the Democrats would make gains, but take neither house. I labelled it an utterly unfounded hunch, and admitted after the fact I was completely wrong.)
5) Any argument is automatically substantiated and reinforced by gratuitous profanity. Insulting the person making the argument also enhances the debate. When these two factors are combined, the assailed side will simply crumble in defeat.
J.
We can legitimately say Michelle is a whore since she, like Jeff, accepts money in exchange for her decency.
Way to go fellas. The Iraqi’s say he’s not a cop, the military says he’s not a cop, no one knows who he is, but he MUST be a cop because y’all say so.
I’m the Grand Duke of London. Just ask me.
“Sure. Tell you what Dr. Petey. If that happens, be sure to come back here and post it.”
Well, it happened. You gonna rescind now? Or are democrats never wrong. OR were you wrong before you were right?
How many of you idiots actually served there? Since you are all subject matter experts on the issue, I know you did, like I did.
The AP isn’t relying solely on the police officer. They claim to have gone back into the community and spoken to several other eyewitnesses who backed up the story independent from each other.
I have yet to read anything concrete from either side that firmly establishes the truth here.
Sorry Dickweed,
Whether you served in Iraq or not is irrelevant to this particular matter unless you were there to witness these alleged events.
Your attempt to silence dissent by setting yourself up as some sort of authority on the subject by virtue of your service merely sets up a logical fallacy and leaves you as just another one of us assholes with an opinion.
BTW I served in the first Gulf War, but that doesn’t make me an expert on that war or any other.
Good morning, Malkin fans. I see you’ve decided to visit once again.
I ask the same favor I asked yesterday: don’t be boring.
I’m really at a loss as to why this one story holds so much interest for you all. At the heart of it all is a dispute over whether the six Sunnis were actually burned or not. AP says yes. CENTCOM says they can’t verify that.
Let’s suppose CENTCOM is onto something and the AP’s source if fake or lying or both. What would we conclude from that? That the whole thing was just made up to create the appearance of sectarian conflict where there is none?
You might like to visit the very CENTCOM site that issued the press release conservative bloggers have been howling about. That very agency regularly publishes accounts of Sunnis killing Shiites and vice versa.
Are they in on the plot too?
Ah! The conservative shouters have been studiously forgetting to mention who is behind all this fuss: The Lincoln Group, the same outfit that was paying Iraqi journalists to write favorable stories.
Beautiful Quaker!
“Let’s suppose CENTCOM is onto something and the AP’s source if fake or lying or both. What would we conclude from that? That the whole thing was just made up to create the appearance of sectarian conflict where there is none?”
The Dan Rather Defense! The story is bullshit, but the argument we are trying to bolster is still true!
What would we conclude from that? That the whole thing was just made up to create the appearance of sectarian conflict where there is none?”
Do you have an answer? Or just diversion? What do you make of it, Peed’?
no, of course not. There IS sectarian violence.
It was made up to BOLSTER the argument in a, pardon the pun, inflammatory way. And the fact that the AP has been quoting a non-existent government official for MONTHS about things like this brings all of the media reporting into question…again.
so, as usual, the benefit falls to the leftist side of the coin…
And the fact that the AP has been quoting a non-existent government official for MONTHS
Non-existent? CENTCOM hasn’t claimed he doesn’t exist–they say he isn’t an employee of the Ministry of the Interior.
Let’s see where this goes next.
Meanwhile, let’s look at the company that has just won a contract to monitor English-language media reporting on CENTCOM’s behalf: The Lincoln Group.
Do you remember them, Peed’?
Usually the quacker is more subtle when he loses an argument and has to divert attention elsewhere….today, not so much
LOL
when he loses an argument and has to divert attention elsewhere
Says the guy who’s tried, three times, unsuccessfully, in this one thread, to play the Dan Rather card.
Usually the quacker is more subtle when he loses an argument and has to divert attention elsewhere….today, not so much
Peed’, GWB might be able to get away with “That’s not what I asked!”
You can’t.
On one hand, we have a professional news gathering organization, one that counts both liberal and conservative leaning publications as its subscribers.
On the other, we have a professional PR firm, paid to play down the bad news coming out of Iraq.
Not relevant, Peedro?
Not relevant when the information came directly from CENTCOMS public affairs officer, and the company you are so worried about “just won the contract” ergo, had nothing to do with this current journalistic debacle…
but quacker, you knew that and were just diverting again, right?
but quacker, you knew that and were just diverting again, right?
Diverting? I prefer “expanding.” AFter all, I first addressed the point at hand before broadening my scope.
If you want to stick to the subject, you may address this:
Non-existent? CENTCOM hasn’t claimed he doesn’t exist–they say he isn’t an employee of the Ministry of the Interior.
oh for the love of god quacker, you lost the argument!
The “informatant” (we’ll leave the deeper Kantian philosphy of existence out of it for now) was not a formal spokesman for a police department or the MOI, there for he can’t be considered an official source! Therefore the front page news about burning muslims is currently suspect.
The “informatant” (we’ll leave the deeper Kantian philosphy of existence out of it for now) was not a formal spokesman for a police department or the MOI, there for he can’t be considered an official source! Therefore the front page news about burning muslims is currently suspect.
I knew you were capable of writing an accurate sentence.
Earlier, you said the source was “non-existent.” Nobody (well, except you) has claimed that. The version you just posted–that he’s not “official”–accurately reflects the position of CENTCOM.
My response was: let’s see what happens next.
How is that “losing”?
Also: this time around, you call the stories “suspect.” Earlier, you said: “The story is bullshit.”
Do those two words mean the same thing?
Now your answer to my original question (Why is this particular story so important?)was this:
“It was made up to BOLSTER the argument in a, pardon the pun, inflammatory way. And the fact that the AP has been quoting a non-existent government official for MONTHS about things like this brings all of the media reporting into question…again.”
It brings “all of the media reporting into question”?
Wow!
I guess we’ll just have to trust the government to tell us everything we need to know then, won’t we?
Really, it puzzles me why so many rightwingers are eager to come to the defense of Mr. al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army.
well the government doesn’t appear any worse than the press.
and suspect is equivalent to bullshit. And at this point since the informant is not an official of the police department as quoted, the entire story is truly, bullshit.
Of course the most ironic part is Ollie’s “they are wrong in whatever they do” statement…words he may yet have to eat.
OK, I see that this needs to be spelled out:
1) The AP repeatedly reports on specific atrocities, citing over and over the same source: Police Captain Jamil Hussein.
2) The Iraqi government says that there is no officer with the rank of Captain named Jamil Hussein.
3) The rank and position of Mr. Hussein are an essential part of his credibility.
4) The fact that he may be a real person is irrelevant; his credibility is irreparably impeached by his fabrication of his credentials.
5) Until proven otherwise, that seems to say that there is no Captain Jamil Hussein. There might be an actual Jamil Hussein, but he apparently is NOT who the AP keeps saying he is.
The burden is on the AP to prove its assertion.
J.
Excuse me, I’m just looking for my beotch Oliver.
If it helps folks grasp the issue, just think of “Jamil Hussein” being Arabic for “Jeff Gannon.” Except, of course, Hussein is apparently just making shit up in the hopes of getting more and more people killed.
J.
So let me get this straight.
AP’s source was outed as bogus…so AP went back to the SAME source, and that same souce then provided witnesses?
Isn’t that like the Quran claiming it’s from Allah, because it says it’s from allah?
You have to give Oliver credit for one thing: he hasn’t shut down or deleted comments on this thread. I can think of a couple dozen bloggers (and no, not all on the left) who would have done just that a while ago.
I’ve just given you a tiny bit of respect, Oliver. That is your customary cue to respond by lashing out.
J.
I swear you must have a “Soros” macro on your machine that substitutes for real argument. Media Matters is the only organization monitoring the conservative media. As someone who has seen practically every piece of research we’ve produced I remember it quite easily. Thanks to members of the right like yourself who just make stuff up, we don’t run out of work.
Wow, Oliver, of all the points I bring up, the only one to provoke a response is the Soros one? And you don’t even rebut it. That’s weak, man. Really weak. Especially since the main point here is that the AP IS apparently “just making stuff up.” Much like Reuters was just making up photos. Or CBS was “taken in” by just made-up phony Texas Air National Guard memos.
Again, though, you’re not shutting down comments or deleting them. That is respectable and honorable, and I give you credit for that. Just like how, every now and then, I have to give John Kerry credit for his role in the BCCI investigation.
J.
I guess we can substitute Oliver “Fat Ass” Willis in place of Michelle Malkin in this article since everyone that would know anything has now reported this story false, repeatedly. You have risen to your level of incompetence. Congratulations. Retard. In your case it is more like bukkaked by stupid. Find a new profession, quick, before you continue to make an ass out of yourself, or in your case, two asses.
“[Conservatives] claimed that the polls were rigged,”
OK, first of all, this is a post about Michelle Malkin. Are you claiming she claimed this?
Second of all, was she wrong? Polling place shenanigans DO take place, after all.
You claim “[Conservatives claimed] that the media was engaged in a conspiracy with the Democrats,”
Again, did Michelle Malkin claim this? And if so, was she actually WRONG, or was she just impolite to point it out?
Finally, “[Conservatives claimed] that the Republicans would hold the House and Senate.”
Once again, did Michelle Malkin claim this? If she did, she was obviously wrong, though not “freakishly wrong.”
BTW, do you leftists realize how insane your posts sound to middle of the road folks?
If you’re puzzled as to why leftists have trouble reaching the moderate public, you might want to start with this thread. It’s a textbook example of how terrible leftists are at making a point.
You know, no one is infallible. No one is right all the time. As for me, both sides make mistakes, and have problems. The issue is the underlying principle of what is right and wrong. We all have different opinions and feel passionate about things, but resorting to calling people whores – now where is the common sense in that? Where is the intelligent debate? I am a conservative, but I get tired of how either side does not listen to the other. We get absolutely no where.
“AP’s source was outed as bogus…so AP went back to the SAME source, and that same souce then provided witnesses?”
Jesus, Noel, try to stay up with the
news so you don’t sound so fucking stupid:
To add:
What does the word “independently” mean to you, Noel? What in that bolded sentence leads you believe that “found” meant the original source provided the witnesses?
Jay Tea:
5) Until proven otherwise, that seems to say that there is no Captain Jamil Hussein. There might be an actual Jamil Hussein, but he apparently is NOT who the AP keeps saying he is.
The burden is on the AP to prove its assertion.
Well, there you go. Too many of your comrades want to stop the clock right here and say that all the facts are in. The Iraqi MOI has declared that “Capt. Hussein” isn’t one of theirs, but let’s just see what the next few days bring, shall we?
This story has taken some surprising turns so far. There’s no reason to think we’re out of the woods just yet.
Malkinites: Remember the old saying: fish and guests begin to smell after three days. Don’t be boring.
The burden is on the AP to prove its assertion.
At any rate, Jay Tea, the MOI official who gave the press conference in which Capt. Hussein was denounced pretty much gave away the game.
According to this official, the press is making it look like there’s violence and chaos in Baghdad, and that’s just not true!
Really, Jay Tea? Maybe we were “greeted as liberators” after all and the evil MSM just won’t tell us!
This affair bursts at the seams with unexplained wonders.
The group accused of perpetrating the attack is the Mahdi Army, the Shiite militia controlled by the virulently anti-American Moqtada al-Sadr, the radical cleric who can kick the props out from under the Iraqi government at his whim.
Why are conservatives so eager to leap to the defense?
Further, the Iraqi Interior Ministry has apparently formed a unit to monitor news coverage and demand corrections or retractions of stories it deems uncomplimentary to the government. Why is a U.S. Navy Lieutenant doing their bidding? Even if you believe the story of the attack is incorrect, why would MNC-I “respectfully request a retraction” from a U.S. news organization, as Lt. Dean has done? The strongest action you would expect from Centcom would be an “FYI, here’s what we know” memo. Why so forceful on this one?
I expect the ground to shift several more times before we’ve heard the last of this.
Quaker, let me turn that question around:
Why are liberals so eager to embrace lies that suit their agenda?
That the news stories coming out of the Middle East in general, and Iraq in particular, are frequently and flagrantly wrong is indisputable. Witness the faked photos that came out of the most recent fighting in Lebanon.
Factions are using the media to propagate their propaganda, and it is being passed off unquestioningly by the press. That the Iraqi government would set up an agency to watch for and answer these lies is a necessity.
If the facts support your case, Quaker, then you should not NEED people to lie to support it. All that does is discredit your whole argument.
Just ask Dan Rather. “Fake but accurate” is just another term for “bullshit.”
J.
That the news stories coming out of the Middle East in general, and Iraq in particular, are frequently and flagrantly wrong is indisputable.
Well, you lost me right there. In fact, that point is disputable.
You’ve cited exactly one photograph that was photoshopped to add more smoke to something that actually was on fire.
The story concerning Jamil Hussein is still an open question. The AP is disputing your point rather vigorously, as you might have noticed had you read something other than Ms. Malkin’s offerings.
Factions are using the media to propagate their propaganda, and it is being passed off unquestioningly by the press.
That’s the argument being put forward by the Iraqi MOI. Ironically, it was most recently put forward by an MOI spokesman who was on MNC-I’s list of “questionable” sources, until this week.
Jay Tea, you’re throwing around accusations about who’s lying and whose not when all you know is what you read at Flopping Aces. That’s not proof of anything.
Quaker, let me turn that question around:
And while we’re at it, no, you can’t “turn that question around,” because you don’t have anything resembling a verifiable fact to back up what you suppose to be true.
Let’s leave the question just the way it is: Why is the right so eager to leap to the defense of the Mahdi Army?
One photo, Quaker? ONE photo?
“Zombie” has found dozens of faked, staged, or outright fraudulent photos — see http://www.zombietime.com/reuters_photo_fraud/ and try to refute his evidence.
I don’t speak for the conservatives, but I’ll answer your question as if it was directed to me: I “leap to the defense” of truth. Even if it casts despicable vermin like Al Sadr and his cockroaches in a less than condemning light.
The TRUTH is that there is absolutely no evidence to verify the existence of the AP’s apparent go-to man on atrocities in Iraq, and the AP’s sole attempts so far to establish his credentials as claimed are to say “we asked him again, and he said yup.”
And those who insist that the AP is in a better position to say who is and who is not a high-ranking police officer than the freely-elected Iraqi government has serious issues with either truth or reality.
J.
(Go ahead and dismiss Zombie as a right-wing whacko. But unless you’re prepared to refute his work, and not just him, you won’t prove a damned thing. The guy doesn’t NEED to make up stuff, unlike the AP — he uses Reuters and other media outlets’ own work to prove their lies.)
Photo 1: obviously tattyshopped (Jesus, I can clone stamp better than that) but not to any particular effect. I think he just wanted it to look a bit cooler. Hardly propaganda.
Photo 2: As above. And they fired the guy who did it for obviously being a clueless jock who’d mistaken Reuters for ACTION COOL NEWS 5.
Photo 3: Oh no a rescue worker surrounded by news photographers gives them what they want that has never happened before.
Photo 4: Oh for Christ’s sake, grow up. Moving a mannequin does not make propaganda.
Photo 5: If the buildings were destroyed on July 24th, THEY WOULD STILL BE DESTROYED ON AUGUST 4TH…DUMBASS. There is nothing suggesting that the two pictures couldn’t have been taken seperately, and the caption doesn’t say they buildings were destroyed in August, it says she’s walking past in in August. Same goes for all the others. Honestly, if your argument relies that heavily on such breathtaking stupidity, it’s not worth making.
No, he didn’t make shit up (with the possible exception of his underling premise), he’s just using a combination of microscopic-level nitpicking and simple stupidity, combined with the actions of one single Reuters employee who was fired for being stupid.
funny everything is absolute with the leftists until you start pointing out the details, then the issues become “microscopic” and “just one single..employee”.
But you take one evangelical christian, and all of a sudden the lefties believe the return of the spanish inquisition is nigh upon us…
typical lefty hypocrisy
Where do you get the idea that a hypothetical scenario is a good response to a considered rebuttal.
“Zombie” has found dozens of faked, staged, or outright fraudulent photos
Oh, well if some guy named “Zombie” says so, I guess that settles it!
Thanks, Jay Tea.
And those who insist that the AP is in a better position to say who is and who is not a high-ranking police officer than the freely-elected Iraqi government has serious issues with either truth or reality.
Jay Tea, the official spokesman for the MOI–the same guy who gave the presser denouncing Jamil Hussein–was on CENTCOM’s list of “questionable sources.” They didn’t even recognize the name of the official spokesman!
But if they say they don’t know who Jamil Hussein is, then by all means he must be an insurgent propagandist.
Just stands to reason.
What happened over the weekend?
The blast sent clouds of black smoke over concrete high-rise buildings in the area, where narrow alleys made it difficult for ambulances and fire trucks to navigate. At least 51 people were killed and 90 wounded, according to police Lieutenant Mohammed Khayoun and hospital officials.
Uh-oh. Another AP report about sectarian violence, fueled by a thirst for revenge. And uh-oh! Another source–Mohammed Khayoun–whose name appears on CENTCOM’s list of unverifiable sources!!
Let us observe. Will right wingers treat this story the same as the immolation story? Or differently?
Who cares what she is saying as long as those lips are visible on the screen?
