Last week, covering the Rush Limbaugh “phony soldiers” controversy, I described Media Matters, the liberal media watchdog group, as an “avowedly political institution.” Media Matters quickly took issue; a few hours after my article appeared on National Review Online, a posting on the group’s website declared, “Media Matters is not, as the National Review claims, ‘an avowedly political institution,’ but a nonpartisan, progressive nonprofit that is unaffiliated with any political party or candidate.”Hum....

Given a Choice to support the Troops, the NRO opts to go on the SlimeFest against ONE of the organizations that noted the problems in Rush Limbaughs Hatred Of America and American Troops!!! They might as well attack another one of those evil liberals:
Let me repeat: My sin was correctly quoting Limbaugh's slam against Iraq war veterans who have turned against the Iraq war they fought in. I used the quote as an illustrative lead in a column focused on my interviews with Army Capt. Joshua Denton, a recently returned Iraq war veteran who believes we should withdraw as soon as possible and let the Iraqis sort things out for themselves.Hum....
In other words, Limbaugh was cited briefly and correctly and used as an example of how some war supporters have used the war as a political bludgeon — mostly because they have run out of rational reasons to support a war that the American public at large has turned against.

Could the problem here be that the NRO, which once tried to show some moral fortitude by BANNING The Most Holy Blessed Virgin HanoiAnnie Coulter, for her totally wacked out series of remarks about how we really should be trying to impose a christian regime in Iraq, has now found itself backed into the proverbial corner of it's mere dogmatic position of supporting Rush at All Cost!!! EVEN if that means opposing the Troops, whom the NRO once pretended mattered.
Oh well... Another one of the Phoney Civilians who will want to be held to be a special part of the State Apparatus when that is great for getting them 'access' and 'draft dodges' but want to be specially protected as so called civilians, for reasons, that gosh, they are never too sure why they want to keep that piece of dualism up and running....
Maybe it is time for the Whole NeoConClownCarCrew to take some time out and work out which IS their position in any of this. What DO they want to be held morally accountable for... OR is their God, their mere ideological allignment to their, well self loathing??? Which would help explain why they are having such a hard time dealing with their own issues...
