wrong." Truer words never spoken.

The corporate owned MSM still hasn't learned their lesson from LYING to the public and creating a DISASTER in the ME. They were complicit in hawking for invading Iraq. Their hands are just as bloody as Cheney's and Bush's...maybe even moreso because they KNEW they were lying and hid that information from the public. That's criminal. Judith Miller? Hello - liar. Criminal.

The MSM is still committing the same crimes. Hawking more war with ISIS! It's sickening. It's even more sickening that there's people on this forum who are accepting the lies just so their warmongering candidate can win as the "most qualified" to be president during wartime! It's sickening and sad. They rarely think about all the innocent people killed in those wars. And this is DEMOCRATIC Underground? Really? (read the quote I snipped)

Sorry! You sent me on a tangent. The subject does that to me.

Great, great post, madfloridian!

PEACE
