Texan_Til_I_Die Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: Liberal Bias in the media! Well, let me try once more. Example 1, the handling by the media of sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas vs. the sexual misconduct allegations against President Bill Clinton. Example 2, Newt Gingrich signs a book deal worth $400,000 and the media gets hysterical. Hillary Clinton signs a book deal worth $8,000,000 and the media sees nothing wrong with that. Example 3, the media ridicules Vice President Dan Quayle for his spelling of "potato" as potatoe. Which, by the way is how the British typically spell it. The media doesn't say a word about Vice President Al Gore not knowing what state Minneapolis is in. He said it was in Missouri. Need I go on? I can make this the "Neverending Deer Story" of the politics forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: Liberal Bias in the media! Texan, he doesn't seem to care about our proof, all he cares about is 1 sentence from a book written by a liberal. I've posted a few links (one is the same as your Newt/Hillary story)- he doesn't care. I'm just dismissing his post as a red-face temper tantrum and from here on I'm officially ignoring him. He isn't worth my time. He is using the 'Nuh-Uhh' strategy and has probably already run to his mom crying asking 'why don't they believe me?!' I can get a more intelligent conversation out of my 13-year-old nephew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this would have not changed anything, because another loser would have taken his place! Then again, maybe none of this would have happened too! BTW who went into a comfort zone? Everyone was scared poopless, or in a state of shock when the towers went down! I dont see any comfort zones being used! once again at your words there BBS.

On 9/11 I immediately went home, cleaned and loaded all of my guns and prepared myself mentally to go to war and do violence against anyone who attacked me or my neighbors. I was deadly serious then and I'm deadly serious about it today. The liberals, if they ever were serious, surely don't demonstrate that now.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: Liberal Bias in the media! [ QUOTE ] Bill CLinton built the Military tell me one thing Bush has done to build the military? ALL he has done is use it! [/ QUOTE ] From FrontPage Magazine (see their article if you want the original source for the figures) [ QUOTE ] Between 1992 and 2000 the Clinton Administration cut national defense forces by more than half-a-million personnel and $50 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars. As the Heritage Foundation reported, by the time President Bush took office the Army alone had lost four active divisions and two Reserve divisions. The number of total active personnel in the Air Force had decreased by nearly 30 percent. In the Navy, the total number of ships had decreased from around 393 ships in the fleet in 1992 to 316 today. Even the Marines had lost 22,000 personnel. [/ QUOTE ] That doesn't sound like much of a build up to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leatherneck Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Re: Liberal Bias in the media! I did not want to get into this, but as someone who has served under both Clinton and Bush, I can honestly tell you that Mr.Bush has done more good for the military than slick Willie ever did. BBS you stated that all Bush has done is use the military. Well sir. in a way you are right. Mr. Bush has used us for what we are here for in the first place. To serve and protect the right for people like you to sit back in the comfort of youR SAFE and FREE home and complain about stuff that you obviously know nothing about. You seem to be an intelligant gentleman, and everyone is intitled their oppinion, but the numbers speak for themselfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Ya just dont want to admit that Clinton Put 100,000 more police on the ground. and had the biggest surplus the world has ever seen! Just ad mit it. You Republicans this is what you guys think it is either your way or your wrong!!! [/ QUOTE ] Not sure how we got from the military to the police, but if that's where we're heading fine. Congress approved TEMPORARY funding, and Clinton signed into law, a bill that added about 70,000 new law enforcement positions. That funding has now expired. And you did get one thing almost correct - if you don't believe in conservatism, then you are wrong. Republican or Democrat doesn't matter, it's conservative (right) or liberal (wrong) that counts.

The Center for Media and Public Affairs says that 33% of the comments about Bush on the CBS, NBC and ABC evening news were positive so far this year. During his first term it was 29%. During Bill Clinton’s 2 terms, it was 43 percent positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: Liberal Bias in the media! [ QUOTE ] But he didnt want to listen too Oliver North. [/ QUOTE ] Why should Clinton have listened to Oliver North, during the Clinton years Ollie North was an analyst, part of the media, out of the loop so to speak, of military intelligence, since Ollie was so good at lying about the Iran-Contra Scandal, and since he was Reagans NSA during the Soviet-Afghanistan brouhaha, I guess he would know about Bin Ladens capabilities, since he most likely authorized the transfer of weapons and training to our former ally Osama Bin Laden in fighting the Soviets, heck, I am sure he met with Saddam Hussein at some point in time, probably when Rumsfeld was selling weapons to Saddam, or maybe when Saddam was getting the ket to the City of Detroit.

Some numbers are posted above. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, Clinton cut people numbers, I'll admit that, he also cut ship numbers, the stats don't lie, but the positions he cut were non-essential, jobs were consolidated, obsolete ships were dry docked. BUT, most of the advanced weaponry used today in Iraq and Afghanistan were the direct result of funding during the Clinton years, these new armored fighting vehicles-Clinton, new bombs-Clinton, new equipment-Clinton. There is the negative(so to speak) of reducing troop numbers, and the positive of having advanced weaponry to take the place of human soldiers. Me personally, I would rather have unmanned spy drones and laser guided missiles to reduce the possibilty of excessive human casualties, than risking the loss of two or three times the amount we have lost now because every operation must be carried out by troop patrols.

I do however agree with part of what you say sluggo. The unmanned and advanced technologies are great if they work and can be applied to prevent loss of life, but in some situations that is not always an option.
