L.A. Times Again Bashes Conservatives

Here is an email I sent to Rosa Brooks, who contributed an op-ed to the L.A. Times this morning. You can find this piece of trash here.

I just read your pathetic excuse for an op-ed in today's online L.A.
Times and I have to wonder just what you idiots on the left are
smoking over there at the Times. No wonder the LAT circulation is
dropping like a stone.

I struggle to find a single sentence of this piece of garbage that's
even true, much less compelling. The Swifties were debunked? When did
that happen? Michelle Malkin is inaccurate and unfair? Where? The
conservative PAC is being run by fringe elements? Who? The troops are
deeply critical of the president's Iraq strategies? Which troops? The
U.S. military is getting its back broken? Where on earth did you hear
that nonsense? I suspect the honest answer to all these is, "in
liberals' dreams."

Liberals are so devoid of anything intelligent to bring to the
conversation that they can't even refer to themselves honestly.
"Progressives"? What's progressive about the Democratic party? That
they want to turn the U.S. into an atheist, socialist welfare state?
Why not save yourself some time and energy and just move to China?

The Swifties were effective because Kerry was so obviously an
anti-American nut-job that he couldn't counter their attacks
effectively. Like so many other liberals, yourself included, he comes
off as an America-hater who just can't stand the fact that we're the
most successful nation in history. Why? Who knows.

Part and parcel of that is hatred of the military. You say, "all the
old myths revived: The antiwar left spits on returning troops and
gives aid and comfort to the enemy." Funny thing is, all that
actually HAPPENED. The antiwar left DID and DOES spit on returning
U.S. troops. CNN really DID run footage on national television of a
terrorist sniper killing an American soldier. There's nothing
mythological about any of it. The left in this country is despicable
and dishonest. John Murtha is particularly so. "Redeploy" the
troops? To Okinawa? What a buffoon. If he's so proud of his
strategy, why doesn't he call it what it really is? Withdrawal.
Retreat. Defeat. Any one of those would be more accurate than
"redeployment".

Ridiculous, inaccurate, America-bashing columns and "news" articles
like yours are the reason I cancelled my Times subscription and will
never go back. Reading this online just reinforces to me that I did
the right thing.
