The media stand with the enemy

If the media was truly fair and balanced, they would refer to those Cindy Sheehan folks as "NEOCOMS" (neo communists) :-) .. But seriously, if they were fair and balanced, then those loonies from the People's Republic of California who have invaded the Lone Star State should be referred to as radical left wing extremists. I'm willing to bet all of those folks have Che posters hanging in their house.

They refer to Pinochet as a right wing dictator, but refer to folks like Mugabe and Castro as "President..."

The MSM is in major need of an enema!

Or the "Cuban-American community's single-mindedness." Val, when it comes to us los Cubanos, somos los extremistas, los locos, etc. Yo, me limpio el trasero con lo que dice el Sun Sentinel y el resto del MSM.

Answer: they're liberals. They're just doing what's RIGHT.

Tati,

Funny you should use that "single mindedness" thing. Just yesterday I was having an email correspondence with Rebecca Wakefield, the Sun Post reporter that mentioned me last week, and one of her comments to me was "I cant sustain the outrage to share your sungle minded interest in mostly one topic."

This was a friendly conversation mind you, not a debate or argument. But she made that comment without the least bit of concern as to how it would make me feel. As if it's a given.

Thank the Lord for Churchill's "single-mindedness." And for Reagan's "single-mindedness," too!

Last time I checked the U.S. Armed Forces is an all volunteer corps. Heaven forbid that you join, serve, get paid, and oh s**t go off to war. To the families and friends of those who have lost their lives, you have my deepest sympathies. But, then to turn around and accuse the President of killing your babies....????? These "protesters" need to look deep into their brains and formulate some common sense. The Press spends way to much time on and inaccurately characterizes "their efforts".

max,

The liberal left prefers to have the babies killed before their born rather than serving their country later on.

The MSM has never "forgiven" us Cuban Americans for dispelling their myth that all minorities needed to live off the liberal government handouts, etc. They are still pissed that our success through hard work and traditional values exposed them as frauds. Now more Blacks and other Hispanics are voting Republican, following the Cuban lead, and that is really upsetting the radical left and the MSM!

Twenty years ago, George Gilder of the Harvard Enterprise Institute called Cuban-Americans "the most successful immigrants in the history of this nation of immigrants." Success is worshipped in the United States when achieved by the "usual suspects," but when a group of relative newcomers and upstarts who are oddy out of step with the received wisdom of the liberal doyens, dare to challenge their preconceived notions of the neediness and helplessness of Hispanics and other minorities, then a price must be paid, and that price has been the opprobrium that the liberal media has heaped on Cuban-Americans for years. Their need to caricature us, marginalize us and ultimately bully us is explained by the fact that they cannot understand us because the day that they did understand us they would cease to be liberals. Success is the best revenge, though; and the more they assail us, the surer we can be that our power and influence is increasing despite of them.

Val, sometimes I get the idea that reporters don't think Cubans are very nice people. And it's amazing how a family not wanting their nephew to be hauled off to an island prison are represented as some kind of demented political extremists for expressing basic human decency to their blood kin.

Val,
LOL, however I disagree to a point. If that were entirely true, it would leave them nothing to bitch about!

Max; It is called "projection". They are projecting their preceived failure to train their children correctly onto a third party. The underlying premise is that they are aware that they failed to keep their children safe and are un-able to accept that responsibilty, rightly so, or not. This not a moment for anger, but one of sorrow. Sorrow for her loss and for ours.

Who can forget Katie Couric during the Elian affair. She used pejoratives to describe the Cuban-Americans in Miami? This is the same 'ho who says she needs a loan to fill up her minivan--like she'd ever be caught dead owning one, much less driving one. Any wonder why I hate the MSM, even though I worked as a TV journalist for years?

Bill, that was the point! "This not a moment for anger, but one of sorrow", we got it! However,..

I don't know why some of these folks hate us. Do they have to find someone around to hate in order for them to feel superior? Do they have some personality disorder?

Does anybody know if Joseph Wilson the "Diplomat" who decided to be against Bush publically was actually there at Crawford or if he merely supported the protests from afar.
