Editorial: Projection and distraction

Peter Hart wrote a ridiculous piece for FAIR last week on the Iraq War where he argued with . . . The Washington Post. He felt the newspaper was dishonest about the Iraq War. Don't expect FAIR to ever call out the press for refusing to address reality about Barack because FAIR is a firm practioner of denial.

The same FAIR that has repeatedly ignored the Iraq War since Barack Obama became president. The same FAIR that has never told its audience, "Woops, we got it wrong! Remember when we said the SOFA ends the Iraq War? Turns out we're not just lazy and we're not just idiots, we're also dumb asses."

A lot of people better start figuring out what they're going to say if the US does extend the stay in Iraq. That's because they spent the last three years ignoring the wars and then whining because the emerging Tea Party was getting press. 'The anti-war movement doesn't get that!'

What anti-war movement?

Where is the rage against Barack Obama the War Mongerer?

Where is Leslie Cagan's fiery speech denouncing the wars?

No where to be found.

And the most some 'anti-war' types can do is whine that, come November 2012, they'll be voting for Barack reluctantly. Reluctantly! That'll teach him.

The right has an anti-war movement that's remained consistently opposed to the Iraq War but, on the left, you'd be really hard pressed to find some one-time leader who will call it out today. And when someone on the left shows a tiny bit of bravery, be sure to contrast their statements on Barack's wars with those on Bush's. You'll see just how weak left leaders have become.

Barbara Ehrenreich wants you to listen to her on matters of war and protest. Until last month, her daughter served in Barack's administration -- in the Pentagon. Something that, with all the words and words she wastes, she always forgets to own up to. In other words, Barbara Ehrenreich needs to shut her damn lying mouth and it's a sign of how pathetic the left has become that Babsie thinks she can speak publicly on these issues.

Her daughter works for the Pentagon. Does it get any worse?

Until the left leaders can get serious, they better get used to being laughed.

Their stock has already fallen across the country -- as we've long documented here -- and that's really too bad for them because next year is an election year and they were hoping to whore their positions of trust one more time.

Do they still not get it?

No one takes them seriously because of their past whoring which they've still not taken accountability for. You know, the exact same behavior that FAIR likes to accuse others of.
