Right-wing military writer: We may have to kill war journalists

[RamboLiberal]

In his latest essay, in a segment titled "The killers without guns," Peters suggests that the media is responsible for "saving" Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, but that media had "failed to defeat" the U.S. government's charge toward Iraq.

"Rejecting the god of their fathers, the neo-pagans who dominate the media serve as lackeys at the terrorists’ bloody altar," he gallingly charges.

It culminates:

Pretending to be impartial, the self-segregating personalities drawn to media careers overwhelmingly take a side, and that side is rarely ours. Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media. Perceiving themselves as superior beings, journalists have positioned themselves as protected-species combatants. But freedom of the press stops when its abuse kills our soldiers and strengthens our enemies. Such a view arouses disdain today, but a media establishment that has forgotten any sense of sober patriotism may find that it has become tomorrow's conventional wisdom.

Because, of course, in Peters' mind America can do no wrong:

The point of all this is simple: Win. In warfare, nothing else matters. If you cannot win clean, win dirty. But win. Our victories are ultimately in humanity’s interests, while our failures nourish monsters.

1. No-one hates Americans more than republicans...

With the possible exception of 12 year old tortured Gitmo detainees.

Fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.

Truth could be bad for business.

4. Looks and sounds like another gas-spewing chickenhawk douchebag.

5. He is a fascist.

6. This guy would have been right at home in 1939 Berlin.

He's also crazy as a loon, but this kind of deranged dangerous thinking shouldn't be tolerated or be given media attention.

7. There's a lot of RW'ers who would've been at home in Berlin in

the 30's. And would've been loyal to Hitler right to the end. It wasn't until the last 2 decades that I really understood how so many could follow Hitler & his lunacy.

8. no, loyal decades after the end

with their only regrets being that they didn't get ALL the Jews
