49. Hypocritical and stupid Chickenhawk Bolton

That Bolton is absolutely infuriating. Report it to your superiors –he’s telling you to be a whistle blower! Like it’s easy and no big deal. His own administration, and perhaps much more so Obama’s, sets out to crush and destroy whistle blowers. Think of what he would have said about you if you had followed his advice back then, he’d probably have tried to publicly destroy you.

Another implication of his, based on his Pulitzer Prize caliber weasel wording, was that you wouldn’t feel so bad if you had not committed war crimes and killed babies and instead simply followed US rules of engagement. Then you wouldn’t be so upset at your long history of war crimes.

My one call to the great Thom Hartmann was asking about the fact that, in our country, it is perfectly legal to knowingly lie on a news broadcast. Steel Trap Thom was all over it, as he once hosted the principals from the Florida Fox News station on his show.

How many Americas know that anything they learn in any American media can range to professional well researched JOURNALISM to absolute bullshit propaganda?

David West: Thank you for serving, thank you for speaking truth to power in the belly of the beast. Thank you for being a great American. Thank you for your contribution to this video. Lastly, thanks for being on DU. It is an honor!
