More Tone-Deafness from Kerry
Kerry wants Rumsfeld to resign over the abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib. But the vast majority of Americans, in every poll I've seen, do not. This should tell us something about the disconnectedness of Kerry as a judge of public sentiment, as well as his willingness to be a chickenshit. No wonder the liberal media identify with him so much.

I don't know if it's just my own wishful thinking, but I sure would like to see more evidence of a backlash against Big Media for their completely unprincipled use of Abu Ghraib as a tool with which to harm this Administration. Is it necessary to tell them we are at war and that this sort of thing is bad for troop morale? Used to be, people knew when to shut their fucking mouths (at least that's what the old-time propaganda posters would have us think). But in an age of ever faster and more far-reaching digital communications, the media have a commensurate responsibility to keep the impact of these things in mind. I'm not about to say that we can't wage war successfully in this modern world with everybody a potential videographer, but I am saying that a vote for Kerry is a vote for those who hate America.

Did that come out right?
