le_wolf-lynne1.jpgWolf Blitzer seemed totally in shock when Lynne Cheney questioned his patriotism after he asked her about Dick's statements supporting water-boarding. Whenever we question the Bush administration---we're called terrorist sympathisers and traitors--we're part of the "blame America first" crowd. It's a typical trick that the media falls for everytime (intentional or not), but we know it's bullshit. Is Wolf really that surprised Lynne did the same thing to him? How long he's been sleepwalking? Attacking the media has been going on for years (remember Ingraham and Gregory?) and Wolf's shock over it really is quite telling.

When will the media learn that Conservatives are not your friends no matter how many times you genuflect to them? They need to attack you every chance they get. WAKE up already. You can go to their parties and call Democrats spineless as many times as you'd like, but you'll never be treated fairly--EVER.

No sentient person could be "surprised" when Bush followers attack someone's patriotism and accuse them of wanting The Terrorists to win. That is what they do. It is who they are. They have been doing exactly that for five years now and one could quite reasonably suggest that this has been their principal political tactic.---No sentient person could be "surprised" when Bush followers attack someone's patriotism and accuse them of wanting The Terrorists to win.

Funny that Wolf Blitzer should be "surprised" by Lynne Cheney "sniping" at people's patriotism. Hell, that's what Republicans do as a matter of course. Not only that, they can't seem to get enough of telling us how much they hate us...read on
