Truly an appalling performance by the NPR host. <BR/><BR/>The softball questions he lobbed to Feith were beyond the pale. The question that we ought to be asking about Feith, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, and the rest is: Why aren't these guys in the dock for war crimes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-3874708636267775812008-04-11T11:52:00.000-05:002008-04-11T11:52:00.000-05:00This morning on the local philly NPR station whyy'...This morning on the local philly NPR station whyy's talk show<BR/><A HREF="http://www.whyy.org/91FM/radiotimes.html" REL="nofollow">the first segment</A> had these two academic "pollsters" who sure sounded to me that they were disseminators of propaganda more than anything else. In rapid succession I was treated to:<BR/>-The Dems were the anti-VietNam war party (LBJ?, Scoop Jackson?)<BR/>-The Dems suffered in elections from being perceived as the anti-VietNam war party (Jimmy Carter?)<BR/>-the Iraq war is not all about oil (suuuure!)<BR/>-a precipitous withdrawl from Ira would be a disaster<BR/>-there were millions killed BECAUSE of our precipitous withdrawl from ViewtNam.<BR/>These assholes were so brazewn in their misinformation that I was stunned. Fox news is less in-the-tank than NPR is these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
