Comments on: Airing Now: John L. Howell’s “Iraq = Afghanistan” https://pat-dollard.com/2007/10/26/airing-now-john-l-howells-iraq-afghanistan/ Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of myself. I landed in Iraq in November 2004 armed with a video camera instead of a weapon...

Not on any conservative internet site that I've seen lately...anyways. It's all over talk radio, and places like "Dollard Nation". These sites and those radio programs are where smart people go for news. And it's the smart people that keep getting the word out and thereby leaving the left to hang by their own petards. On the plus side even ABC has reported recently on the lack of bad news comming out of Iraq. And CNN got into the act last night. But all of the LLMSM is giving all of the great stories on the GWOT away to the conservative media. The stuff about worrying more about amounts of trash trucks needed rather than IED's isn't making it into liberal TV news. In 2004, the libs tried running the media show vis vis the election and lost the media war. Pollsters played the same game and looked like complete fools on election night. The average Joe or Jill American is still smarter and wiser than the average reporter for the LLMSM. And talk radio is dominated by smart hosts and smart listeners. The media has lost the battle of hearts and minds. So they resort to lies, misinformation and drowning out the opposition in an attempt to supress thought and debate. It's not working. The more the leftist progressives and their anarchist allies talk and act stupid on college campuses, the more influence is taken from them and given to the conservatives. The left has lost. They have lost in Congress, on the campuses, and in the hearts and minds of Americans. And the more I talk to life-long Dems the more I believe that I'm right. Conservative Republicans need to just keep up the fight. We're winning...despite the dominance of the progressives in the LLMSM and the campuses of America. If all these people got is Lou Dobbs, Bill Maher, Hollywood, and Code Fink, DailyKostic, and Arianna H, the left and the anarchists are destined to lose every fight they get in. My hope is that the leftists escalate their rhetoric into something violent...which I believe is on their agenda. When that happens, it will be a target rich environment. All the good news is not completely lost. Not on any conservative internet site that I’ve seen lately…anyways.

There are still Sunday news shows that periodically run the names of servicemembers that have made the ultimate sacrifice. They say this is a tribute to them, I believe that if that were true they would spend more time covering the successes as well. They would spend more time reporting the Al Quada casualty estimates to contrast our own. They would remind the American people that 4,000 KIA's on our side, although sad, is nothing when put in the context of history.

They'll throw out a story on Iraq and put whatever spin on it that their editor or writer wants. Do they really give a crap about those who have given the ultimate sacrifice? By no means. The left is too busy counting US dead and injured, they're not interested in the big picture or in the great under-told success in this war. So, I take their reports with a grain of salt. I just like the fact that Murtha, Hairy Weed and the rest of the kindergarten children in Congress have basically been shutup by our successes. Poor Hairy is having a really bad year...(cough, cough). Howie:
