Little Tucker: "Blackwater hasn't committed any more atrocities in Iraq than American troops"
It's right here, on tape, for the world to see. Little Tucker admits on Bill Maher's show that our troops are committing atrocities in Iraq. Why does he hate America?

(The admission is in the last minute of the video)

2. He wouldn't shut up last night
Plus, he has the cognizant reasoning of a 4 year old. Fortunately, there were saner people (Krugman) who prevailed over Little Tucker's argument that diplomats & the press couldn't be in Iraq without Blackwater. Joy Behar asked a very good question...if there are a thousand Blackwater guys protecting all of these diplomats over there, why isn't there more diplomacy?

4. They're just there for the looting and illegal-deal-making.

6. Well then we're not getting our money's worth.
Blackwater obviously charges 'way more per atrocity than the Army does. Just another privatization scam.

11. lotsa them...
once sent jonah goldberg a rhetorical: "how many assholes, like you, does bush have?" and jonah replied 'typical DU thought processes" (which he must have meant as a putdown-and how he knew i was DU?...i guess a bunch of DUers were after him at the time...) carlson's daddy was reagan's psycho ambassador somewhere, and part of PNAC, if i recall. Why the US allows political desperados, who loathe its liberal democratic traditions, to dominate its tv newsmedia is the real question...
