Good shouting match on Franken
I think some right wing yahoo is saying not enough American Journalists have been killed in Iraq. The issue, embedded reporters are kept away from bad news in Iraq by the Military and the bush administration. Wow, just think what kind of news we'd get if they weren't? Reporters trading war stories. I guess there is a point in there somewhere.

1. I don't know that he's a right winger...
but basically he was bragging about the number of firefights he'd been in, and then claiming it wasn't journalist bravado.

2. Michael Fumento is a right wing tool
Google up his background, it's pretty clear.

5. He's the author of "The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS"
He basically claims that "real men don't get AIDS, only homos."

That's all you need to know about this piece of shit.

:eyes:

7. Yet another example...
... of something that would be all over the news if it were the other way around. I mean, could you imagine if someone wished death in Iraq on Geraldo?
