It just occurred to me as the media was so intent on playing this stupid game with Bush, trying to pull an "I'm sorry" out of him.
Let me ask the media, when are we going to get an "I'm Sorry" from YOU?
You were apologists for Communism. You railed against McCarthy, but now that the truth has come out of Soviet files...McCarthy was mostly right. We really WERE infiltrated by Soviet agents in Hollywood and other media. We still are, even though the Soviet Union is thankfully dead.
You lost us Vietnam. No one else. You did. 50,000 American troops dead. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese. Later millions of Cambodians.
Giap and others have published their diaries now. Now we can see what really happened at Tet and other places. You deliberately propagandized against your own country, and turned our victory into defeat. And you were gleeful ghouls as you did it, just as you are gleeful ghouls now as you "report" on Iraq.
All those deaths, millions, caused in no small measure by the ignorance, partisanship, small-mindedness, vindictiveness, defeatism, and pure lies of the Leftist media.
The Media Lied. People Died.
Some millions, so far as I can tell.
Could we have an apology? Please? After a full freaking century of mainstream Leftist media and "intellectual" apology for socialism and totalitarianism in all its forms, up to and including the present day, could we please get an "I'm Sorry"?
Well?
I thought not.
