Any Conferences on Jewaphobia?

Spit = Support.

Right thinking people blast Arkin as "waste of skin and teeth."

Let's pretend Arkin lives down near the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, London, or Paris. He makes negative comments about the mujahideen. I know, that would never happen. Bear with me here.

Okay. As long as apologies are in order, I want to apologize for calling Mr. Arkin an asshat America-hater. It's true, but I apologize.

The socialists are feeling their oats. Every once in awhile they forget that they are supposed to hide their true feelings in public.

Happens when they start winning elections based on false premises.

Anti-Journalism? Isn't that a war crime? Call the ICC.

The fellow travelers are still very much around.

Well, thats why I don't look at the WaPo any more. Freakin communist rag.

Arkin Blast Critics As "Arrogant and Intolerant"

Yea, SO?
I've been called much worse things by much better people.

What a loser!

I read his piece yesterday... absolutely disgusting.

Had to take a shower afterwards. It was that dirty.

Washington Post loves to hate America, too. But it's really all about love.

Lots of Leftist Christian Moonbats Down-under

They Love Osama - Churchs' signs declare jesus' love for osama at multiple Chruches in Aussie land

Last sentence of his "column":

the arrogant and intolerant few who think they are above the people seem to be those who are wearing the uniform.

Wormtongue.

The notion then that we should defer to the military to fight when and how and where they want is absurd. As the debate about the Iraq war demonstrates, war-making is a shared endeavor and the arrogant and intolerant few who think they are above the people seem to be those who are wearing the uniform.

What a dick.

I knew this schmuck would play the victim. Typical liberal asshat. Slander the troops, get excoriated for it, and then whine about intolerance.

I am so �$%!# sick of these people.

Whiny WaPo Blogger Plays Victim Card

"Arrogant and Intolerant"?

This from the guy who wrote that soliders needed to shut up and stop disagreeing with the American media?

Pot, call kettle.

Reading too many fiction novels will turn you into a moonbat like this.

The MEdia is the Enemy

Arkin? Grand Moff Arkin?

What a clever little man.

Personally, I think the guy has a drinking problem. He must have been drunk when he wrote that article.

I would never advocate violence, or breaking the law, but wouldn't it be fun to gut punch this a-hole, and then kick his teeth in when he was down?

Baby MoonBats raised by Momma Moonbats grow up to be adult Moonbats isolated in their little elitists moonbat ivory towers free from criticism

These young adults are born and bred moonbats they dont know real world America outside of their boob tubes

And I repeat what I posted yesterday:

mercenaries

are the teachers, the university professors, the journalists of the MSM, and the unions' guys

screw them

/save Goddessoftheclassroom, of course

From the audio...

The troops are our servants.

wow.

This from the same anti-US leftists who accuse those who support the war chicken hawks because we're not in uniform.

He denigrates those who believe that a call to serve this nation. He believes that those who believe that fighting (and dying) for a country that has gone to war to defend and spread freedom is a concept that deserves nothing but scorn, ridicule, and worse.

These soldiers, sailors and Marines serve to protect the Constitution, including the right to free speech and the press - the very rights that Arkin uses to show the world his utter stupidity, ignorance, and classlessness.

The WaPo must be proud.

BTW, this isn't the worst screeds to be published by the WaPo. I think letting the various terrorists get a free slot on the op/ed page was worse. This, however, shows that the anti-US leftists have free rein to throw their opinions around in the newsroom and no one will take them to task because they're the ones in charge.

Chris Muir's strip is on this subject today...[Link: www.daybydaycartoon.com...]

/messy post. Poop.

Is he the clone of the jerk from the LA times "I DONT Support the troops" - Joel Stein (?) ?

So by insulting the troop he says that he supports the troop? Is this the same thing as saying that we love him by insulting the author's mother? For bringing him to the world?

Either they're overwhelmed on his latest post or they're practicing intolerance by shutting down the comments.

I tried to post something but it won't go through and I get some "Movable Type" error.

I missed him with Skeletor last night, but that's probably a good thing. The two of them at once may have induced considerable rage.

#23 Ed Mahmoud
I'd rather see it done by the troops.

I actually feel kinda sorry for this POS, he will never know what its like to serve and be a part of something greater than himself, I'm sure he's the toast of the cocktail circuit right now, but unlike soldiers (who would die to protect him) those kind of people will stab you in the back or just discard him at a moments whim, we are stronger for (alleged) people like this, it shows us just what is important for real americans

Typical. Whenever those damn hayseed rubes dare express criticism based on their own values, why, they're nothing more than

anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, anti-journalism, anti-dissent, and anti-citizen

This unmitigated goon means nothing to me.

/excuse me while I yawn

anti-journalism

Can someone explain what exactally that means?

Well, if Osama bin Laden accepted Jesus as The Son of God made flesh, was baptized, and truly repented, he would be fully forgiven. By God, that is. True repentance would include facing up to what he had done, and turning himself over to the civil authorities for prosecution, then a lifetime in jail or the death penalty.

Bear with me.

I'm reminded of the Saturday after 911 in Manhattan as workers were assembling near the Javitts' Center for deployment to the pit. A man stopped and stared at the workers ammassed and spit out "You are all doing this just to make yourselves fee better!"
I thought the man had forgotten his meds and feared for his safety. Instead of a confrontation the workers erupted into a spontaneous rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
The cops stepped in and escorted the man out of the area and I was left to ponder what I just witnessed.
I wonder if that man answered to Arkin.

When your forte is stupid, aspire to be the sombrerro of asshats.

The man is a certified asshole. What more need be said?

"The notion then that we should defer to the military to fight when and how and where they want is absurd. As the debate about the Iraq war demonstrates, war-making is a shared endeavor and the arrogant and intolerant few who think they are above the people seem to be those who are wearing the uniform."

But---but---jeekers, Mr. Arkin! What about all those on left who criticize Conservatives as "Chickenhawks", because they're not enlisted in the military? According to them, it is only soldiers who have the right to make judgements about wars, and the rest of us shouldn't say anything about it! Are all these Leftist wrong? No, no, Leftists are always right---no, no, the right is EVIL! But the Left is always Good, yes? So how can it be mistaken?

(Does this mean we won't have to counter anymore tiresome "Chickenhawk" arguments? One hopes, but it's a bad old world, after all. . . )

And what about moms like Cindy Sheehan, whose moral authority is, supposedly, beyond question, because they've lost a son in the war? Can they still exercise their freedom of speech, or is that verbotten now, because they're connected with the evil military?

(Can't wait for the Cage of Match of Death Battle, as Cindy and William duke it out, to see which one of them possess the most unimpeachable moral authority.)

P.S. Many thanks, Charles, for posting about Arkin's response!

He's certainly an expert on arrogance, intolerance and contempt for the American people. He's not fit to spit-shine an American soldier's boots.

the troops are anti_Democratic?

the troops dont like those that want to cut and run?

the troops dont like thsoe that by their words and deeds are getting more of them killed?

i bet this ass think the Constitution is a "Living Document" that can be modified anytime it suits him.

too bad the troops are fighting to defend this ass.

So, we pay the soldiers a decent wage, take care of their families, provide them with housing and medical care and vast social support systems and ship obscene amenities into the war zone for them, we support them in every possible way, and their attitude is that we should in addition roll over and play dead, defer to the military and the generals and let them fight their war, and give up our rights and responsibilities to speak up because they are above society?

WTF is he talking about?

JournaPhobics!

YOu need to go to rehab for behavior modification

we will hold many conferences to highlight to racial profiling of Journalists and the evil JournaPhobics

Speaking of arrogance and intolerance:

Pelosi Seeks Military Flights

She wants her family chauffered around on military flights as well. You get to pick up the tab.

LIberals are the new Racists Paternalistc 'DO WHAT I SAY' facist creeps

THey will rob your freedom from right under your nose

In the liberal wet-dream all civilians & police will be dis-armed and their "mercenary" soldiers will be the only one's armed.

They should be very careful who they insult.

#30 psaturn

See, it's like the abusive husband/father, who beats his wife when she burns dinner, and flogs his kids with a belt when they bring home less than A+'s.

It's because he loves them, see? And because he loves them, he wants them to be better! He wants to improve them, and make them good! And he's the one who knows what's good for them, by G-d, and they'll obey him, and live up to his standards, or else!

It's for their own good.

(Actually, I suspect Arkin doesn't even use that fig leaf for his hatred of America---he just hates it, pure and simple, and longs for the day when some dictator will take over, and MAKE America behave!)

I saw on the other entry about Arkin that he has a socialist and environmentalist background. What could possibly be in common between socialism, environmentalism, and pacifism?

Anti-journalism? Little Communists like Arkin want real journalism. Like Pravda.

Just another example of the excrement that results, in word and person, when a "profession" (i.e., journalism) fails to exercise prudent birth control.

I fear the Islamfascist ideology,

but I fear the religion of the Liberal American-Hater even more...

lots of worshipers at the Church of Anti-Americanism...and it has become a main-stream religion.

WaPo 3-year stock performance

[Link: www.investorguide.com...]

Please indulge in what this soldier in Iraq wrote in response to Arkin's post last night. It is long, but very necessary reading.

Part One

I am tired of people / liberals saying they are patriotic and then insulting my commander in chief and the way he goes about his job.

I am tired of people / liberals who tell me they support me, the soldier on the ground, and then tell me the best plan to win this war is with a "phased redeployment" (liberal-speak for retreat) out of the combat zone to someplace like Okinawa.

I am tired of the people / liberals whining for months on T.V., in the New York Times, and in the House and Senate that we need more troops to win the war in Iraq, and then when my Commander in Chief plans to do just that, they say that is the wrong plan, it won't work, and we need a "new direction."

I am tired of every Battalion Sergeant Major and Command Sergeant Major I see over here being more concerned about whether or not I am wearing my uniform in the "spot on," most garrison-like manner; instead of asking me whether or not I am getting the equipment I need to win the fight, the support I need from my chain of command, or if the chow tastes good.

I am tired of junior and senior officers continually doubting the technical expertise of junior enlisted soldiers who are trained far better to do the jobs they are trained for than these officers believe.

I am tired of senior officers and commanders who fight this war with more of an eye on the media than on the enemy, who desperately needs killing.

I am tired of the decisions of Sergeants and Privates made in the heat of battle being scrutinized by lawyers who were not there and will never really know the state of mind of the young soldiers who were there and what is asked of them in order to survive.

I am tired of CNN claiming that they are showing "news," with videotape sent to them by terrorists, of my comrades being shot at by snipers, but refusing to show what happens when we build a school, pave a road, hand out food and water to children, or open a water treatment plant.

I am tired of following the enemy with drones that have cameras, and then dropping bombs that sometimes kill civilians; because we could do a better job of killing the right people by sending a man with a high powered rifle instead.

I am tired of the thousands of people in the rear who claim that they are working hard to support me when I see them with their mochas and their PX Bags walking down the street, in the middle of the day, nowhere near their workspaces.

Part Two

I am tired of Code Pink, Daily Kos, Al-Jazzera, CNN, Reuters, the Associated Press, ABC, NBC, CBS, the ACLU, and CAIR thinking that they somehow get to have a vote in how we blast, shoot and kill these animals who would seek to subdue us and destroy us.

I am tired of people like Meredith Vieria from NBC asking oxygen thieves like Senator Chuck Hagel questions like "Senator, at this point, do you think we are fighting and dying for nothing?" Meredith might not get it, but soldiers do know the difference between fighting and dying for something and fighting and dying for nothing.

I am tired of hearing multiple stories from both combat theaters about snipers begging to do their jobs while commanders worry about how the media might portray the possible casualties and what might happen to their career.

I am tired of hearing that the Battalion Tactical Operations Center got a new plasma screen monitor for daily briefings, but rifle scope rings for sniper rifles, extra magazines, and necessary field gear were disapproved by the unit supply system.

I am tired of out of touch general officers, senators, congressmen and defense officials who think that giving me some more heavy body armor to wear is helping me stay alive. Speed is life in combat and wearing 55 to 90 pounds of gear for 12 to 20 hours a day puts me at a great tactical disadvantage to the idiot, mindless terrorist who is wearing no armor at all and carrying an AK-47 and a pistol.

I am tired of soldiers who are stationed in places like Kuwait and who are well away from any actual combat getting Hostile Fire/Imminent Danger Pay and the Combat Zone Tax Exclusion when they live on a base that has a McDonald's, a Pizza Hut, a Subway, a Baskin Robbins, an internet café, 2 coffee shops and street lights.

I am tired of senior officers and commanders who take it out and "measure" every time they want to have a piece of the action with their helicopters or their artillery; instead of putting their egos aside and using their equipment to support the grunt on the ground.

I am tired of senior officers and commanders who are too afraid for their careers to tell the truth about what they need to win this war to their bosses so that the soldiers can get on with kicking the ass of these animals.

I am tired of Rules of Engagement being made by JAG lawyers and not Combat Commanders. We are not playing Hopscotch over here. There is no 2nd place trophy either. I think that if the enemy knew some rough treatment and some deprivation was at hand for them, instead of prayer rugs, special diets and free Korans; this might help get their terrorist minds "right."

I am tired of seeing Active Duty Army and Marine units being extended past their original redeployment dates, when there are National Guard Units that have yet to deploy to a combat zone in the last 40 years.

I am tired of hearing soldiers who are stationed in safe places talk about how hard their life is.

I am tired of seeing Infantry Soldiers conducting what amounts to "SWAT" raids and performing the US Army's version of "CSI Iraq" and doing things like filling out forms for evidence when they could be better used to hunt and kill the enemy.

I am tired of senior officers and commanders who look first in their planning for how many casualties we might take, instead of how many enemy casualties we might inflict.

I am tired of begging to be turned loose so that this war can be over.

Part Three

Those of us who fight this war want to win it and go home to their families. Prolonging it with attempts to do things like collect "evidence" or present whiz bang briefings on a new plasma screen TV is wasteful and ultimately, dulls the edge of our Infantry soldiers who are trained to kill people and break things, not necessarily in that order.

We are not in Iraq and Afghanistan to build nations. We are there to kill our enemies. We make the work of the State Department easier by the results we achieve.

It is only possible to defeat an enemy who kills indiscriminately by utterly destroying him. He cannot be made to yield or surrender. He will fight to the death by the hundreds to kill only one or two of us.

And so far, all of our "games" have been "away games," and I don't know about the ignorant, treasonous Democrats and the completely insane radical leftists and their thoughts on the matter, but I would like to keep our road game schedule.

So let's get it done. Until the fight is won and there is no more fight left.

What could possibly be in common between socialism, environmentalism, and pacifism?

All the three:

- pies in the sky
- based on ideology, not on science
- allow you to criticize America
- in their more extreme forms, tend to subvert the Republic in a way or another

Arkin states in the interview that the military no longer represents the views of the American people. Moonbats can sign up for the military, if they would like, after all this is America.

I doubt there will be a surge of recruitment in the lefty cities.

This guy is a joke. Methinks we are seeing the complete disintegration of the MSM right now... Between the LA Times crap from the weekend and this asshat...

If we cannnot counter these voices, we're doomed.

hide behind the constitution and the flag and then spew an anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, anti-journalism

Yeah, and that's why we love 'em.
They GET it.

They hide behind the constitution and the flag and then spew an anti-Democrat idiot, anti-liberal moron, anti-journalism monkey-at-a-keyboard, anti-dissent quisling, and anti-citizen useful idiot... message that reflects a certain contempt for the American people domestic enemies of the American people.

There, that looks about right.

okay, now I'm confused...at the protest last Saturday, didn't we hear that the overwhelming majority of the military were against the war? just like the majority of stay at home americans?

Apparently Arkin was a Army Officer baby killing mercenary himself.

Sarge, the WAPO needs you as senior editor and proofreader, when can you start?

23 Ed I'm a petite woman. Yes, that would be lots of fun, especially if I got to do the kicking.

Or maybe I'd get my soccer star to do it for me.

You know, Charles, I think I've just about reached my limit on bilious leftist spewing for the day and it's not even 9 am yet...as our forces mass in the Persian Gulf and on the Iranian border...I need some light humor...where's a Peace Duck when you need one?

/sigh

I'm climbing out of my skin here, there are so many thoughts and arguments I need to scream that the words will never come out coherently, so I'm just going to make one little comment, then I'm going to try to lower my blood pressure...there are so many things in this column that prove he has NO CLUE what he's talking about, but these few little words really bothered me for some reason:

Again, I understand the frustration of those in uniform ...

No. No. NO YOU DON'T. Nor do I. Nor does anyone who's never worn the uniform or stepped into a hellhole such as Iraq (or Afghanistan or Germany or any of the other luxury resorts our servicemen voluntarily go). I support the troops with every fiber of my being, but I will never be arrogant enough to claim that I know how they feel or what they're going through or how 'frustrated' they are...I DON'T know, I CAN'T know, and the most I can offer is sympathy, empathy, support and prayers, but I can never offer true understanding, and neither can Arkin. There are so many things in this column that make me cringe, but that one really struck me, for some reason - don't insult someone and belittle what they do, when what they do allows YOU to live a better life, and then claim to know 'how frustrated they are' with you. Shut up.

No, not quite right... sorry.

They hide behind proudly stand by the constitution and the flag...

43 Ed The obscene amenities? I'd guess that's the wet wipes and chap stick. Or maybe the Pringles potato chips?

They don't get cigarrettes anymore, so at least the leftists should feel good about that.

Let's have a look at him.

Always good to know what these asshats look like, just in case you ever stumble across one of them in public.

where's a Peace Duck when you need one?

Well Arkin old piece of felating MSM whore, you are going to GET SERVED if you keep it up you bad mouthing of the armed services.

Isn't it hearenting that we have such patriots like Arkin and his fellow WaPos insructing the military scum on their proper place in society?

Let's remember not to heap all of our scorn on this hapless little retard. Remember, his editor must have seen this obscene article prior to printing, and was obviously happy to see it published.

I've compiled a list of Arkin's blog advertisers and their contact info here, along with the code so it can conveniently be reposted.

It's useless to tell Arkin what scum he is - coming from us that's high praise. Tell his advertisers instead.

Oh yeah, I remember the obscene amenities shipped in while I was living in a abandoned Iraqi motor pool building like MRE's and bottled desalinated water. My wife shipped me the real obscene amenities bless her little heart.

#49 Bearster

I saw on the other entry about Arkin that he has a socialist and environmentalist background. What could possibly be in common between socialism, environmentalism, and pacifism?

I know you were being facetious and you know the answer but here it is anyway.

All means to an end. The establishment of a marxist state in the U.S.

Socialism is the ideology. Environmentalism is just another tool to gode the unwitting into attacking capitalism. Pacifism is a way to embarass the U.S. and strengthen Socialist leaning foreign states. If you notice the pacifism only applies to U.S. military action, it isnt really a principal in which they believe.

#33 DIAMONDMASC - I checked out Mr. Arkin's bio which Charles was kind enough to post last evening.
He served as an officer in the US Army from 1974 to 1978, as an intelligence officer. Without going into all the jokes about military intelligence us former grunts are used to making, I'd wager a whole lot of money that, during his his time in service, he never heard nor fired a shot in anger. Yet he presumes to judge those who are in the heat of battle as, basically, sub-human. And this is the guy WaPo choose as it's "Military Analyist".
I'd like to suggest that, fun though it may be, we simply stop discussing this man and what he writes and says and start asking why the WaPo can't get a more qualified "military analyist" on it's Staff.

Arkin is actually the kind of fella you would assume would be a welcome alternative to mainstream journalists that LACK military experience. The Pentagon says a lot of reporting from journalist suffers because few, if any, ever served their country in uniform. Arkin has served, yet his writing is among the worst that appears on the Internet. Certainly he makes the top 5 for worst columnists that are published by the major newspapers.

He still uses an @igc.org email address. IGC is an internet services organization for users that view Castro as a moderate.

Sorry Lizards, the Iraq war will soon be over, Americans will no longer be killing Muslims there. You'll have to get your jollies in some other way.

Gordon's Sharia #1
Only Muslims can kill Muslims.

Mr. Arkin, if you have a better way to stop the islamic menace than by fighting it with soldiers, I'd like to hear it.

Jerk.

#84 Gordon - Hey Gordon! Long Time No See!
So if the war in Iraq is soon to be over, I assume you won't object if our troops exit through Iran and Syria, right?

Wow, the notorious Gordon. How does it feel to be an idiot?

I'm not anti-journalism. I'm just anti-journalists.

I just had an inspiring vision! Wouldn't Arkin make an absolutely stunning addition to an impalement stake?

Gordon; lick my balls:)

.

Americans will no longer be killing Muslims there

muslims can kill muslims much better than us, we are a little slow because of the RoEs

we can go fight on some other front in the world war of islam against Freedom, while the lovely iraqis kill other lovely iraqis by the tens of thousands...

honestly now hes just being cute, he read the replies to the last article and decided hes going to go down with the ship.

Isn't the point here is that this person is the "military affairs" analyst for the LA Times?

Wasn't the editor of the Times recently fired or "quit?"

Does Arkin still work for the Times?

#88 the new AEstetic

How does it feel to be an idiot?

s/he-they don't know, because s/he-they is/are idiot/s.

I see Asshat Nodrog got is on the computer today.

So Nodrog worked for the city government in a small Oregon city. Meter maid, perhaps?

Ok, I'm the first to correct myself when I'm wrong (right after my husband, usually, but he's not here right now)...I admit that before I wrote my last post, accusing Arkin of not knowing how soldiers really feel, I did not know he had done an Army stint, so I'll re-phrase. He still didn't serve in wartime, so even having worn the uniform, he could not possibly know how our soldiers feel right now...even had he served in wartime, there's never been a war like this one, where the enemy does not wear a uniform and could be ANYONE, where they take special delight in harming civilians, in inflicting the most horrendous torture imaginable, and where there is no hope of ever negotiating or reasoning with them...so I still stand by my statement that he can't possibly 'understand how frustrated' they are, and I definitely stand by my statement that he should just shut up.

#13 mglazer

as a Christan i have to love osama also.

but as i love him as Jesus told me too, that means that i must do all that i can to stop him from hurting others and hurting his own soul (that he injures by hurting others).

if that means that i must kill him to protect others, then i will do that. i may hate what he stand for, i may hate what he does, i may hate the evil he has in his heart.

This is all so confusing. I thought that the only ones allowed to comment on war were people who actually served? Perhaps it is meant only in the past tense thus allowing JFK and Charlie to disparage the military. Perhaps someone at WAPO should take this moron aside and explain to him, better to be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

"If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast." -William Tecumseh Sherman

Sarge, the WAPO needs you as senior editor and proofreader, when can you start?

I would rather live for a week in a festering DC sewer below Marion "bitch-set-me-up" Barry's crack house, than spend a minute in the halls of that news rag... though I imagine it would be awfully hard to tell the difference between the two.

Seriously, scratch an anti-war lib, and what do you get? A hateful, ugly person that views the rest of America with less than contempt.

My niece's hubby just got word he's been extended for another 4 mos (afghanistan, mountain division / rangers) - you can just imagine how this kind of crap goies over in our fam, to my niece who now is waiting 4 more months while dipsh*ts like ths strut and crow.

F*ck this guy; he is not worthy of any further fame or attention. Or O2, but that's not my call.

William Arkin is an evil man.

JWM

I say we put some hardpoints on that peace duck, see how much ordinance he can carry

Arkin vs. "the right" is usual partisan politics founded on emotional bias.

The left calls the right arrogant and intolerant. The right gives them fuel by calling the left hateful. Regardless of who is right, it is an endless emotional back-and-forth.

The real problem is Islam, and there is no leadership guiding attention to the real problem. So, we end up endlessly fighting each other. This does not serve the interests of freedom. It serves the interests of Islam (=tyranny).

I have a sneaking suspicion a media commercial interest to expand readership is also served by all the name-calling.

if not, please find them, will ya?

after all, a promise if a promise...

I am so proud of my 7 children...even my little 7 year old son was able to understand the hypocrisy, bile and asshat arrogance of this unmitigated piece of marxist filth.

Liberals must face up to the fact that the vast majority of military personell support the Iraq mission. Libs don't therefore the two groups ARE political enemies. Hard to support what you despise.

Without the subversive left and the subversive media, the problem of islam would have already been solved.

And if islam could see a Free world NOT divided by the subversives, it would think more than twice before moving...

please tell us how many muslims the US has killed
how many Israel has killed

and then tell us how many other muslim nations have killed.

the US and Israel still have a lot of work to do to get anywhere near those killed by other muslims, but i would guess after iran gets nukes we may, sadly, get our chance.

I propose that any journalist who doesn't believe we're in a struggle with Islamic terrorism for our very existence be stripped of their press credentials. If meteorologists that don't believe in man-made global warming should lose their AMS certification, then why shouldn't journalists who don't think we're at risk lose their press credentials?

#96 Lorenska - "there's never been a war like this one, where the enemy does not wear a uniform and could be ANYONE, where they take special delight in harming civilians, in inflicting the most horrendous torture imaginable, and where there is no hope of ever negotiating or reasoning with them..."
Um, please see Vietnam War - at least before the North Vietnamese Army joined full tilt boogie in the fight, the Viet-Cong didn't wear uniforms, could and frequently were ANYONE (including the old Mama-Sans who'd clean out your tent for a buck a day, then measure the distance to the Commo bunker, Ammo bunker and etc. and pass that information along to VC mortar crews. That's why I posted my #82.
Arkin has NO IDEA what it's like to even fire a shot in anger or have ROE's that prohibit returning fire from "friendly villages" without permission from higher authority.
And no, other than the above and the sanctuaries the "freedom fighters" have in Syria and Iran (like the VC and NVA had in Laos and Cambodia) I do NOT think this WoT is like Vietnam nor do I see this as a quagmire.

"Arrogant and Intolerant"

For daring to disagree with his authoritarian screed? Note that Arkin's original piece consisted of little besides demonizing generalizations and clairvoyant projections of what large numbers of people collectively think and feel. This is beyond arrogance, it is genuine megalomania.
As for intolerance, the left is becoming more and more open in stating its belief that opposition to their view really is a violation of their rights, a criminal act.
Yet this strident Stalinist remains at the very center of the media-industrial complex.

Civil war is coming, folks.

Can there be any doubt who the real enemy is?

We are witnessing the beginning of the end of our country. The media and all politicians are consolidating their power and perks. 95% of Americans obtain their day to day information from the elite leftist media and believe everything they see and hear from them.

Its time to throw the tea in the harbor again...get your battle rifle soon...before Hillary is elected.

Thanks for the photo (if I ever see him I will take Ed's advice and literally beat the shit out of him).

But I see he's standing in the "Women's Fiction" section.

How appropriate.

Alas, he falls in line with today's "liberals" and asserts that only his speech should be free.

Assuming, arguendo, that our soldiers are vicious, murderous thugs, then exactly who is "hiding behind" the constitution?

Arkin is an intellectual joke.

#112 wargammer2005

and then tell us how many other muslim nations have killed.

I would add: killed because they were not Muslim. Killed in accordance with Islamic teaching.

And how many Muslims have the Allies killed for the same religious reasons? Are American soldiers killing and maiming people becuase they aren't Christian? Is the IDF killing and maiming people becuase they are not Jews, or becuase they don't follow the Torah? Hell, no. This is not nuance. The stark difference is not hidden in a magic-eye image. It could not be more clear. Which makes me see that the left could not be more willfully blind if they tried, and they do try.

the left is becoming more and more open in stating its belief that opposition to their view really is a violation of their rights, a criminal act.

whoever disagrees with the "great dream" of building world-communism can only be a fascists,

hence if you disagree you are a fascist

therefore...they kill you

That's why I call them marxofascists.

What a f*king utter puke! Military analyst, my ass. More like Keith Olbermann butt buddy. Take your punishment like a man, boy!

Libs like this think freedom of expression is a one way street. Once someone resorts to disagreement with their worthless opinion by calling it what it is, gutless chicken shit drivel, these cowards start crawling to Mecca like they're some poor victim.

Good thing Arkin served in the military when he did after the Dims had practically gutted it in the late 70s and tried to make the military known as a place for losers and baby killers. If Arkin served in today's fabulous military, they would frag this a**hole and I would help them.

realwest:

Well, as I said before, I'm always willing to be corrected and admit when I'm wrong, and believe it or not, as I clicked 'post' on my last comment, I thought, "I worded that badly, of course the VietCong were just as unpredictable, unidentifiable and cruel as those we're fighting today..." - but you obviously got my gist and hopefully understand my point that nothing Arkin did during his Army stint could possibly allow him to 'understand the frustration' of today's troops. I am lucky enough to have no idea what the current troops OR those who fought in Vietnam have endured, I can only know that my life is a pretty easy one thanks to the fact that our troops keep the threat on the other side of an ocean from me.

#118 Cranial Access

You could be right, a new revolution may well be in the offing as forces that have been dominant for 40 years dig in against challenges to their power. This is all the more true because these forces are preferentially composed of pathological power-seekers and narcissists.

Leftists assert that sedition, calling for the overthrow of the Constitutional government, is not illegal. How much less, then, can they assert that calling for the overthrow of an illegitimate shadow government, the leftist media complex, is illegal?

#116 realwest

other than the above and the sanctuaries the "freedom fighters" have in Syria and Iran (like the VC and NVA had in Laos and Cambodia) I do NOT think this WoT is like Vietnam

With the inclusion of politicians micro-managing from afar, I agree with you.
The left wants it to be like Vietnam.
Their response/behavior is just like it was then. They want the same thing they did then - 'just say we won and leave'. And the result will be the slaughter of countless innocents - just like it was back then.
THEN it will be just like Vietnam. And it will be THEIR fault.

except the difference between facism and comunism is just a few letters in the name.

both want control in the hands of the few.

both allow no opposistion to survive.

and there are a lot of other shared beliefs, it is just who is in charge, me or him, that matters.

Arkin has defined a new category of thoughtcrime: "Anti-journalism" ie supporting the overthrow of the media-industrial complex.

This article is the final nail in the coffin for the Washington Post.
I was a soldier in a combat MOS and my sons will follow in my footsteps, because its people like us that give Mr. Arkin the rights he enjoys.

SOB!

This Arkin guy thinks he's a mind-reader, who is the arrogant one again? He doesn't know shit.

111 PL

I agree with you. Would you agree that focusing on calling each other names does not bring us together, but only encourages more name-calling, and hence, division?

I find it fascinating when you call people like Mr. Arkin on their plainly-stated comments, and then they respond by saying "I never said" exactly what they said. Do they forget that their words can be quoted verbatim back to them?

They hide behind the constitution and the flag the courts and then spew an anti-Democrat anti-Republican, anti-liberal anti-conservative, anti-journalism anti-free speech, anti-dissent, and anti-citizen message that reflects a certain contempt for the American people.

Funny, how everything that a liberal says applies to themselves more than it does about the people of whom they speak.

#84 Gordon,

#132 Neverpayretail

I doubt you really agree with my answer. There is no "name calling" on this side, we simply tell that truth that without the Internet had been carefully hidden for decades and when we do this the subversive left starts screaming and calling names.

THEY have a subversive project to overthrow the Republic and they use even the islamists to make America weaker...you have just to read the archives of LGF and realize that the left doesn't make "mistakes" while being actually "patriotic". They just hate America because they have this marxist ideology in their heads that tells them that capitalism is satan.

Of course everything would be different if instead of having a SUBVERSIVE left we had a WESTERN, decent, patriotic left.

You'll have to get your jollies in some other way.

Such as waiting for the next big Dim majority blunder of the day.

By the way, Gordon, are you clean and articulate?

#127 Poitiers-Lepanto

That was a rhetorical question. I'll be surprised if Arkin isn't promoted for his anti-military screed. I'm sure his social calendar is already filled with invitations to DC cocktail parties, where he'll be lauded for daring to write what so many on the left think.

Arkin is a worthless POS.

"Its time to throw the tea in the harbor again"

When hillary is elected by the media and their lemmings who populate this land in 2008...our country will have been ruled by the Bush-Clinton aristocracy for 24... potentially 28 years... and you wonder why they cover for each other...

Anyway, the answer by Arkin shows that the subversives now feel a deep fear: they know that the Internet revolution will slowly but consistently destroy the castle of lies they have built for decades.
His aggressivity and his calling names show his fear.

It will be a difficult and long process, but the age of the subversive left will end.

First they lost their beloved USSR, then they lost the control of the information.

They have only one more resource, violence.
That's why they love the islamofascists.

141...

Clinton covering for Bush? What color is the sky in your world?

Looks like the WaPo, NY Times, and LA Times have now dropped their "cloaking devices". There is no more pretense or rhetorical niceties. They are openly at war with our military, Our President, and all conservative Americans. They seek nothing less than the defeat and humiliation of our military, followed thereafter by the dismemberment of the military and the impeachment of our President.

Frankly, I'm no longer interested in reasoned dialogue and logical arguments. It's totally useless. We are truly at a point where nothing less than a civil war will uproot the traitors in our midst - they are that deeply imbedded and that deeply committed to the defeat of our country.

I'm not sure sure what the exact flash point will be, but I am certain it is very near.

First they lost their beloved USSR, then they lost the control of the information.

Which brings something to mind: remember when President Bush was elected, then relected, how all of the moonbats threatened to flee to Canada and France, not Communist China or Cuba. I guess that some socialist/communist paradises are more desirable than others.

#133 stuiec

Do they forget that their words can be quoted verbatim back to them?

This is a characteristic fault of present-day leftists, and a tellling throwback to the era of the media-monopoly. British leftists, in particular, are almost laughably vulnerable in this respect.

Before the net, broadcast journalists often really could deny saying what they had said, since there were few, if any, records that the networks did not control.
In the late 70s, CBS sued (I believe) Vanderbilt University over the university's effort to maintain an archive of broadcast journalism. ABC's Don Kladstryp, for example, can safely ignore allegations that he ever justified the torture and murder of American sailor Robert Stethem in 1985, because the only smoking gun is a transcript that was, and is, available only to a select few.
Leftist agitators like Phil Donohue knew that their exact words would vanish into limbo as soon as they were said, leaving only an impression in the minds of the audience and no precise record for critics to present in rebuttal. It was not impossible to get a transcript of the broadcasts but there was no way to present it to a mass audience in a timely manner or in a form that the mass audience could review and check for itself.

Leftists are just not accustomed to immediate review by skeptics and doubters, and this fault is deeply embedded in their rhetorical style.

#139 Schlagerman

That was a rhetorical question

:-)))

As I always say, I don't write here at "university level", I write at an elementary level, in the hope that the occasional lurking moonbat gets hit by something that makes his brain, finally, start.

They are so ignorant that everything needs to be explained clearly and plainly.

And they have their heads full of propaganda and ideologies.

This guy's main complaint is we have a volunteer army. But I assume he wouldn't support drafting troops to fight in Iraq either. What he wants is unilateral disarmament that we might bare our throats to an enemy already altogether to familiar the technique of beheading.

I think Arkin is jealous of Bin Laden being the most hated subhuman in the US.

I KNOW the comPost is a leftist, anti-American, anti-military, pro-socialist rag, has been since Vietnam.

And by the way as someone else said, the difference between the name calling on the left and the right is that the right is simply telling the unvarnished (translated: "unMedia-ized") truth. This IS our country, I DO love its traditional idealism, and I WILL die in defense of its Constitution, honor, freedom, and way of life before I see its socialist and Islamofacist enemies succeed.

137 PL

So, I guess you think calling them hateful, as this post explicitly does, is not name-calling, but merely speaking the truth.

My experience is that when discussing matters with leftists in a name-calling fashion, they get emotional. Likewise, when they return in kind, I am more likely to respond emotionally.

The result is negative. I have had better results when I leave out the name-calling. I may not change their minds in that instant, but they walk away not thinking I am arrogant and intolerant, and sometimes, they admit I have a good point to which they have no good response.

Do you find calling them hateful productive?

Every American voter should have his whiney voice and his disgusting words in their head when they vote in the next election because he speaks for the majority of the Democract Party, not just the far-left.
If that is wrong, well lets hear them answer this jerk NOW!

THE WASHINGTON POST TOOK DOWN THE LINK TO THIS PIECE.

If you click on the Early Warning blog link to reach Arkin's home page, there's no link to the "Arrogant and Intolerant" post.

Did he realize that he'd unveiled too much, or did the blog editor tell him to stop digging himself a deeper hole?

And do these idiots think that they can erase this sort of garbage from the world's consciousness, unspeak the words once they've been spoken?

This guy's main complaint is we have a volunteer army. But I assume he wouldn't support drafting troops to fight in Iraq either. What he wants is unilateral disarmament that we might bare our throats to an enemy already altogether to familiar the technique of beheading.

For the past fifty years liberals have been saying that we need to gut the defense budget in favor of more social spending handouts. What we are going through now just galls them that it discredits what they have been saying.

The leftist elite, of course, is composed of pathological narcissists and power-seekers. They are nothing without the rand and file, the vast ignorant masses out there in the hinterland of the media empire. The latter, in turn, are largely and plainly attracted by the trappings of subversion and revolution, the illusion of distinction that has driven the accretion of media power for half a century.
The supreme irony here is that websites like this one are genuinely revolutionary and subversive, while Arkin and his ilk occupy the very pinnacle of corporate power and elitism.

Do you find calling them hateful productive?

It's truthful. Not name calling, just the truth.

We are speaking "Truth to power"

Arkin and the rest of leftist media beasts are terrified and desperate. Their fifty year reign of terror is crumbling around them and their massive push for censorship, the Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine," is their only response.

They hide behind the constitution and the flag and then spew an anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, anti-journalism, anti-dissent, and anti-citizen message that reflects a certain contempt for the American people.

A far more correct analysis of our men and women in uniform.

They acknowledge the value of our constitution and show unashamed respect for our flag. They become nauseated at the anti-American filth and sewage spewed by the liberal media and often feel a personal attack when those who claim to represent the nation scream foul epitaphs at the flag, our elected leaders and themselves and others in uniform. They recognize that many in the anti-American mob would be there denouncing this nation regardless of the situation. They have long ago learned that the media in this nation has for decades considered truth, honor, integrity, character and decency to be, not qualities one should aspire to, but are descriptions to be smeared and denigrated.

#150 Neverpayretail

What I find very productive is to take the discussion to the facts: little things like having supported the USSR evil empire and its horrors, having caused the death of millions and millions of people in South East Asia by causing America to "lose"...
Having the will to cause other massacres in Iraq calling for "redeployment"...

These are facts and are facts the left has never been called to answer for.

You know, what a real fascist (nazi-fascist, islamo-fascist, marxo-fascist) thinks of me is not that important.

I am arrogant ? Because I call the left to answer about 100 years of crimes as giant as HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DEATHS ?
If that is being arrogant, we are deeply into the new dark age and the subversives have already suceeded in changing the meaning of words.

Gotta go.
But, to show my deep "respect" for the other side, I will greet you with a leftist classic:

POOP ON !

stuiec: I can still get to the story from the "Columns and Blogs" home page, like I did earlier - I'm not sure why it's not on Arkin's mainpage, but it's still there where it's been all morning, in all it's hateful glory...so maybe he took it off his page himself, but the paper still has it on their main OpEd page.

But you see Poiters-Lepanto, that the leftists had such good intentions. For them, intent trumps results - their hearts were in the right place and they had all the correct feeelings. And as that great Pulitzer Prize Winner Walter Duranty (spit) put it -you can't make an omlet without breaking eggs.

The Arrogant and Intolerant Speak Out

He's exactly right: I'm probably a little arrogant when it comes to defending the military and I definitely do not tolerate shitbags like Arkin.

Dear Dumbass,

You don't get to spew your shit and then become immune to the feedback. That's not how free speech works, shithead.

#160 Lorenska

I think the link that's still visible is an oversight -- it's not linked from the Politics page (though the blog is), it's not linked from the Opinion page (though the blog is), and it's not linked from Arkin's own blog page. Plus, they shut down new comments to the thread at 11 AM Eastern. It seems to me that they want to pretend this blog entry never existed, and they're too sloppy to get their cover-up right.

anti-Democrat, anti-liberal, anti-journalism, anti-dissent, and anti-citizen

Only the left are allowed opinions, certainly not soldiers. They are our servants. They must keep their place.

I'm not sure sure what the exact flash point will be, but I am certain it is very near.

My guess would be a heavy-handed effort by the Demo Congress and a new Demo administration to enforce the so-called "fairness doctine."
I really think the Democratic Party will stop short of that however. They may not want a court fight over bias in the establishment media and that is what they would get in such a situation. They may win the case, thanks to leftist judges, but the testimony and evidence presented would do untold damage to their stock in trade, their bogus credibility. Media beasts like Keith Olbermann or Arkin are arrogant enough to think they would win such a fight, but their political allies may think twice.

Their claim of "we respect the troops" was just a ploy to try to get respect for their position. It didn't fool anybody, now they're angry. They wasted all that time! Now you'll see the mask dropping more and more often. I suspect, sadly, that arkin's position is not only accepted in moonbat land, but closer to the average democrat than we'd like to think.

William Arkin who has the unmitigated gull to print those words, let alone think them, offends me to the core. I have had the privilege to talk to busted up Marines who say they would go back over there again in a blink of an eye to keep our enemies out of my backyard.

It really gets in my craw when people like this spew out venom on an issue they know absolutely nothing about. And then has the nerve to call me names if I don’t agree with them. Well Mr. Arkin, I choose to critically think issues and I suggest that before you put your fingers on the keyboard think about how cruel, mean and down right disingenuous you are to your readers.

I have a KIA* bumper sticker on my car for a reason. It’s for a hero.

"Arkin states in the interview that the military no longer represents the views of the American people."

It is way past time for all of us here to recognize that Arkin is right on this point. After the last election it should be obvious that this war is lost and the majority of the American people who elected the Jackass party candidates in large numbers lost it. However much we may hate to admit this, Arkin is just one out of many multi-millions of "asshats" in this country.

Just wait to see what happens when the Jackass party consolidates its gains in two years, including achieving the presidency. Then, when the inevitable "24" event happens, and we've got Jackass party members at every level of government as far as the eye can see, this country will be in full panic mode.

God help us all.

I wore the uniform for 6 years, keeping the Russians at bay so that little asshat and others like him would keep their life, liberty, and rights. What a f***g ingrate! Yeah, life on that submarine trailing the Russian fleet was a real vacation, full of white sand beaches, pretty women, cool drinks, ... NOT! And my tour was no where near as tough as what our people in Iraq and Afghanistan are going through. I didn't get shot at.

If the front lines come to America, I'll set up my defensive line behind, not in front of, the WaPo building.

Go to hell, Mr. Arkin. Go directly to hell. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Clever.

Smell the odor of sweat? Notice how he blusters in self-defense? Arkin is panicking and digging himself in deeper and deeper

As soon as I read the Arkin Asshat Special, I called the WaPo pay-for-call number and a nice man answered. As I tried to control tears of rage and my profanity, I explained the reason for my call. He said he hadn't read the column, and he was, himself, an 8 year Navy vet. I hope the column by the POS Arkin gets posted on the wall in the coffee room. And I really hope every one of us takes the time to contact every media source, including NBC, that pays this guy a penny.

If you think about it, this idiot picked the wrong people to, ah, shall we say, offend.

Something tells me that this idiot's ignorant screed has been posted on several military sites and read by many angry soldiers, past and present.

It would be too easy for an angry soldier, especially a sniper, to find out where this idiot lives, set up a position, and poof! splatter his brains against the wall of his residence.

Lest someone think that I am advocating violence think about this: at what point do those who are constantly provoked have the right to react to the provocation? To paraphrase Robert Kocher, if you torment someone long enough, you eventually force that person to kill you.
