1. Great

Another clown we need not pay attention too, Thanks for the links.

[Enrique]

2. d'oh!

[Warren Stupidity]

3. Your birther link is nothing of the sort.

Did you bother to read it or are you reposting some idiotic talking point?
Many people initially supported the invasion and destruction of Iraq and have long since changed their minds.

Edit ah this is a joke. Sorry.

[Bonobo]

4. If this is not sarcasm, it is pure unadulterated stupidity.

The idea that a link to a serial linker is "proof" is nothing but guffaw-worthy.

5. this place is becoming more fanatical and pathetic by the day

the character assasination on this web site just exhibits how dishonest even democrats can be when it comes to politics. It's extremely embarrassing. This isn't Obamaground.

[kenny blankenship]

6. Hedges must be destroyed!

[ProSense]

7. This

is a stupid OP. Still, I'm going to laugh my ass off when Hedges' attention mongering stunt falls flat.

This is a person who votes for Nader and constantly equates Democrats to Republicans. So enjoy the show while it last.

10. You lied and said that Hedges supported the Iraq War

13. Bullshit! n/t

[MinervaX]

14. Really?

"Bullshit! n/t"

"Hmmm?

"Again, when using Bush as a measuring stick for Obama

You've already lost the argument. "

Hedges never sued Bush and in fact hyped the War on Terror with NYT colleague Judith Miller. A lot of people were anti-war after the illegal invasion of Iraq."

[ProSense]

16. Yes

"Really"?

...really, and if you don't like it, tough. Reading comprehension helps. Full comments and context:

Hedges never sued Bush and in fact hyped the War on Terror with NYT colleague Judith Miller. A lot of people were anti-war after the illegal invasion of Iraq.

Hedges ever sue Bush?

He won a Pulitzer for the NYT coverage on the War on Terror.

In 2002, Hedges was part of the team of reporters at The New York Times awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the paper's coverage of global terrorism.

18. Again, you lie.

He never hyped anything and you insinuate that he supported the Iraq War. Keep spinning Spinderella.

[ProSense]

19. Hmmm?

"He never hyped anything..."

"MISSED SIGNALS: Terror Cells Slip Through Europe's Grasp"

Yeah, that was an article about fruit, right?

[Bonobo]

22. Spinderella, LOL. Can I borrow that please? nt

[smokey nj]

20. Looks like you're the one who needs to work on their reading comprehension because nothing

at those links says Hedges supported the invasion of Iraq.

[ProSense]

23. Really?

"Looks like you're the one who needs to work on their reading comprehension because nothing

at those links says Hedges supported the invasion of Iraq."

Nothing at the links say "Hedges supported the invasion of Iraq," but if that's the level of your comprehension, who am I to question it?

The war was launched in 2003. The NYT received the Pulitzer in 2002. The fact is that the reporting contributed to the perception. That is not the same as saying he supported the war. He did in fact, help to hype the war on terror.

[smokey nj]

24. Really.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

28. Yeah, came as close you can get without actually

saying he did.

[div style="display:inline; background-color:#FFFF66;"]"A lot of people were anti-war after the illegal invasion of Iraq."

As the videos posted in this thread show, he was very much against the war before a shot was fired.

15. Is that CGI?

Give us a real links. You're not even trying.

Never mind, it is not relevant to anything.

Edit: perhaps the OP is a joke, but I can't tell.

[EFerrari]

12. Someone has to speak truthiness to power.

[WilliamPitt]

21. Derp?

Derp.

[MNBrewer]

25. And yet, Andrew Sullivan, the CONSERVATIVE blogger

who also supported the Iraq war, SHOULD be listened to, because he's carrying water for Obama.

[Fumesucker]

26. Is that the same Andrew Sullivan who still writes positively about "The Bell Curve"? n/t

[MNBrewer]

27. I don't know of he STILL does, but he did in the past, yes.
