There’s a debate going on at a sad little leftist blog about the difference between Dan Rather’s ‘fake but accurate’ news and the ‘fake but accurate’ photoshop below. Talk about parsing words, they are downright Clintonesque …. it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is.
Sadly, yes they use the adolescent debate tactics of a high school sophomore debate class inhabited by jocks who have to take the class to stay on the football team. When those tactics don’t get the hoped for results, they predictably take the lower road of name calling and personal insults.
For example, one post there had to do with a cartoon I had posted. The author of that post invoked the name of Julius Streicher in reference to me. It seems she took exception to the fact I had made a couple of posts in anticipation of my trip to Germany. She doesn’t seem aware of the fact that Germany is no longer under Hitler’s tyranny - thanks to Americans who beat the tar out of him. But this is the tolerant left - right?
Just as an example, they made endearing little comments like this …
Why is it that lunatics like Beth never sign up to fight the wars they champion. No, they’re all safe and sound in their kitchens and living rooms, while others do their dirty work. Killing women and children and old people isn’t an easy job…but somebody’s got to do it, right Beth? Lucky Beth, she popped a male, a male who could serve the Republican Party under George Bush. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
Isn’t that just precious? Our Soldiers killing women, children and old people - but they ’support the troops’.
Which leads me to a subsequent post over there.
Now they are having a hissy fit over this photoshop of the Code Pink girls. Still, its hard to argue that the photoshop is anything other than fake but accurate.

There you have Medea and her merry band of rich middle-aged marxist hippies trying to find meaning in their lives by embracing causes that make them feel like they are reliving their youthful glory days of protests. They are just in hog heaven. They probably wouldn’t have a problem with the photo. After all, they gave $650,000 to the terrorists fighting our soldiers thereby providing material aid and comfort to our enemies …. so yes, they do support those who are killing our Soldiers. They are probably wishing they had thought to write that on the banner themselves.
Vince has been over there and picked out one of their more juicy comments.

I’m glad you did this, Beth. I was close to doing it, my fellow heil mate, but, things came up. Sadly, No! bears watching. Maybe a good blog-war out of it!
My comments often do the same thing, as do some others with WP 2.2 and higher, when left directly, rather then in the pop-up comments. Not sure why.
I’m wondering why liberals just do not seem to understand photoshopping for effect? I guess they prefer cartoons that paint Condi as a house “n*gger” and denigrate our troops.

Welcome to America, Mr. Ahmadinejad . . ….
It seems Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was wrong when he declared that the American people wanted to listen to him.
From the beginning, starting with the introduction of Ahmadinejad by Columbia University’s president yesterday, IranR…

A day in the life of Columbia University students…
This is what is happening now. There are many people who have opinions about this, but the only opinions that will matter, factually, are those in the Middle East. Did this president of a university insult many more Iranians than Ahmadinejad has done…..

Beth shows her true colors.
BSC: Aren’t you just too clever for words! Gee, I might have pulled a little stunt like that in, I don’t know - middle school maybe? Where have all the adults gone in this world?

What’s the matter, too good for your own slander (”fake but accurate”)? You can dish it out, but you sure can’t take it. How conservative of you.
BSC: So you are the arbiter of what is ‘accurate’? What are you talking about dishing it out and not taking it? I haven’t called you names. I haven’t slandered you. I haven’t cussed you like a dog. You are projecting again, it seems. How ‘progressive’ of you.

For a long time now I have been watching Al Gore and waiting for him to make his move on the presidency.
He is the perfect choice for an October surprise candidacy. He has more name recognition then practically any other candidate …
