[quote=Thematic-Device;832741]Nixon wasn't convicted either, since he was pardoned, for that matter, doesn't make him not a crook. In fact one can act legally and still be a crook (as it is possible to legally swindle people). It's a personal opinion not a legal definition. If he had been accused of being a convict it would be a different matter.

Ever heard of libel, slander, and defamation of character?

John Smith is a crook.

I think that John Smith is a crook.

Did you read the article I posted?

Hunter doesn't go for getting the troops the equipment they need, he'd rather give the money to the defense contractors who line his pockets. He's all part of the war profiteering we are seeing in this government today.

To me, that's a crook. What is your definition of a crook Chassisman?

The quotes are from the article I linked to above. Read all about Duncan Hunter, if you want to find out about the crooked politicians in office today

Well I think if we take CNN previous actions, as in Jordan and his decision to overlook missing Iraqi employee they knew was torture and then gone! Then not say a damn thing (even denying they knew of anyone being tortured in Iraq on air to the American public) as not to jepordize there front row seat for the war. Now they are acting as Al Jazeera and airing whatever BS the terrorist send them, all this adds up too one thing. I'll let you'll draw what that is but they shouldn't be allowed to be embedded with our soldiers for they can't be trusted to act in the affirmative towards our society. Bernard Shaw said it best, "I'm a journalist to the world and a citizen second" paraphrasing a bit here on his return trip when the CIA ask him to be debrief.

I don't know what you are saying in the first part "his decision to overlook..." Who is he? What are you talking about?

At the end are you saying that the US press should not be free, but should be loyal to the US government?

Hey its the Cheerleader for Al Queda! The mouth from the LEFT Coast who knows little but keeps rattling on like a good little Liberal Commie!!

Were you proud of those Pictures? I have been to War and Snipers are a very serious problem and having Al Jareez set up the photos and CNN Broadcast them, is TREASON! They should be stripped of their Licence, removed form the infested property and the building burned, so CNN cockroaches don't spread!

Execs should be HUNG in Times Square, to send a message to future UN AMERICAN Liberal SCUM!

What do you think a Parent, Wife, Sibling etc.. thought seeing these Photos? YOU don't care as long as your little life goes well and you spread Stalinism in America, you are happy!!

From what I've heard about Stalin, free speech wasn't a big part of his platform.

You ever watch a war movie? Do you LIKE seeing people getting killed? Ever see a movie with murder? Do you LIKE seeing people getting murdered/maimed? The only way you can be a good American is if you watch Friends. Censorship is underrated. Obviously, reporting on dead soldiers/showing the tapes is only good for getting anti-American, terrorist, bin Laden-supporting extremists horny until they climax in an orgy of fetus-killing delight. You wouldn't want to support the terrorists, right?

We have had reports that the invasion of Iraq worsens terrorism and that there have been no substantially dangerous WMDs found. And yet, people still support Bush. The answer is obviously "not for some people."I guess the soldier should have thought about that before he signed up for the armed forces.So don't watch it. Many people support Bush because they feel he is their living God (many right-wingers, ahem) and infallible. I don't think there is much that can change their minds on the matter.

How long will people keep using this tired excuse? DON'T SHOW IT HELPS THE TERRORISTS!!!!! Here's an idea, don't torture people (Abu Ghraib, for instance) and the media will have less to show. If I don't want bad press, I don't shoot the reporter after I kill the pregnant woman; I don't kill the pregnant woman in the first place.Wasn't that already discussed? Oh, that's right. The pro-censorship side lost.I bet it's not in good taste to talk about crimes/objectionable actions committed by politicians and soldiers (Abu Ghraib, Foley, etc...). It only empowers the terrorists, right?

CNN Is on the enemies side reporting for the enemy against America.
Kicking there worthless asses out is not a freedom of speech violation. Lying for the enemy and spreading anti-American sentiment around the world is.
Who’s side are you on anyway? We need to tell the enemy that it is them who are wrong. Fuck…

It all depends whether you believe the people own the government or that the government owns the people.
If the people own the government, they should see everything, because it's their government, and they are responsible for what it does.

If the government owns the people, it should protect them from this kind of thing and make sure that they see what they need to see to feel the way the government wants them to feel.

Right, reality of war? draging a dead solider through a street! haha. I'm sure some democrats found that amusing especially your fanatic anti-war/anti-American crowd.

If you need a TV to teach you the reality of war then your lost.
