You ask the impossible of Franklin Foer, the editors at TNR (some apparently from the Pacific Northwest, like the Seattle P-I), the twofisted seegar-chompin' editors of the MSM, and the Left in general.

Self-revisionism is simply not doctrinaire; only self-criticism, and as the result of a public denunciation by an approved party loyalist is acceptable.

However, frequently placing an ad (a capitalist tool) for information leading to the truth about Scott B. and TNR, how Hsu really got his money, what he did with it and the real sources of Hillary!'s funding, etc., are welcome (and, looking back from a historical perspective 50 years from now, probably necessary).

Unfortunately they had some success in making it stick to the Vietnam generation but we have the chance to kill this narrative before it takes hold on this generation of American heroes.

If the Vietnam generation had had the internet maybe they would've fought back too. Lacking control in any area of the media of the time pretty much left them without a weapon. Thank Gore we have the internet and people who are willing to devote their time to keeping the truth from being completely whitewashed away by our elitist gatekeepers.

So when does that "re-reporting" start, Frank?  Or is that publicly-made promise "no longer operative"?

If a business whose product is supposedly the truth simply puts its fingers in its ears, squint its eyes, and pretends nothing happened, how the hell can anyone attribute any integrity to it in anything it does, or says, or publishes?  They have burnt their brand to the waterline, and they did it to themselves by selling truth and delivering lies.

I wonder - purely as an academic exercise - why the Great War generation of France and Britain were never portrayed as 'psychopaths made mad by the tensions of war'?  Wasn't the trench warfare of the Western Front more intense than Viet Nam?

Really, 'Fritz is over there and has been trying to kill me for the last four years with machine guns, artillery and poison gas' is a little more intense I would think.

BJS:  I doubt the US Army, now, with that knowledge of looting, etc. puts up with that when they find it.  Can you say "Hello, Leavenworth?"

It isn't 1940's Europe, you know.  'Boys will be boys'doesn't quite cut it in a 24/7 media culture, especially when the main media industry would just love to run those stories rather than participate in the same looting.

I think the next step is for the blogging community to start pressuring TNR's owner.  Michelle did a great video at TNR's door; now someone needs to show up at their door.

Maybe we have some bloggers-in-arms north of the border that could go for it.

Plus, we should send them a petition or something via their website, to ask them when they are going to take care of this B.S.

We could do a call-in/fax/e-mail drive, with every American who is offended by this calling their Canadian HQ and filing a complaint.  After about 50,000 different Americans complaining, maybe they will get the point.

One thing the Canadians know- there's a whole lot more of us than them.

No way in Hell that smear will stick to our fighting men, now. Nuh- Uh.

No way. Not even worth debating. In that particular arena of thought, the lefties have already had their asses handed to them.

Abu-Gra-whatsis?

Sorry, I don't speak dumbass.
