If the media is so damned liberal (Israeli, weapons, Clinton)

[mmmjv]

Then why have I constantly heard the following from talking heads on TV but have never once heard them called on it?

"Under Clinton we had (a half dozen attacks, go on to cite Kenya and Tanzania and Saudia Arabia..." and under Bush only one ("on American soil sometimes added and sometimes not)

Not ONCE have I ever heard the host or anybody else on the show ask what about the American embassies that were attacked while Bush was in Office, why are you counting the overseas embassy attacks under Clinton but not the ones under Bush

It got even crazier and stupider after the underwear bombing attempt when the cons would claim that as a bona fide terrorist attack, after proclaiming that under Bush we "only had one". Helllooooo, ever hear of the shoe bomber??? And still nothing from the hosts or anybody else

The craziest was the three times it was claimed that there were zero attacks under Bush. The response of the host (or hosts) to that claim all three times? NOTHING! Now the one that happened on that Fox morning show with Steve Douchy, that guy who's not Steve Douchy, and whoever that woman is you can kind of expect it. But it also happened once on ABC which I always thought was part of the "liberal media"

History is one of the easiest things to revise for your any just cause. From the Republican point of view every terrorist attack is another justification for our Forever War and its guaranteed profits for the warmongers and the financiers.

While I usually am on the side of the law I make an exception in these cases. A captured terrorist should just be killed and cremated and the ashes dumped in the trash. They deserve no recognition or honor.

This as an 'angels on the head of the pin' argument. You're putting embassy bombings on the same list as a cab driver who gets mad at his passenger and tries to run them down?

Still not quite as impressive as "only one attack" is it?

[rogerbacon]

The reason why the liberal media does not talk up those terrorist attacks during the Bush years is certainly not because of their love of Bush. It is because they don't want to connect the dots in the public's eyes. They don't want to acknowledge that there is a concerted jihad against the West and that it is not limited to just Al-Quada but is part and parcel to Islam as a whole (which, granted, not all Muslims agree with 100% just as not all Roman Catholics follow Catholicism 100%).
