Well, Dr, John, you’re right. Maher’s stuff about the cruise missiles is nonsense: I didn’t mean that part. Certainly lobbing cruises if that works is not only not cowardly, it’s moral (despite hysterical moonbat opposition) because it protects your soldiers’ lives. I just meant that the cowards line was used as the typical FBI psyche profile. It doesn’t matter to me if they were cowards or not — they were evil, pure and simple.

Thanks for the link the the cartoon. I hate hearing about stuff I can’t find.

Look, the Nashville Scene is to journalism what Jack Kervorkian is to pediatric medicine (if someone wants to start a list of past Scene scandals, have at it; I ain’t got the time). The real culprits here are the Bredesen campaign that planted this hit piece thru Kopp and Spragens and ultimately Belmont University, which obviously buckled to the pressure the story brought after it identified Hobbs’ employer three or four hundred times.

Oddly enough, Maher is on tv all the time, I wish I could program my remote to skip the channel when his show is on, but I know that for somebody who is a poster boy for oppression of free thought by the right, his show sure comes in on time and clear as a bell.

Hmmm… No cognitive dissonance on the left over that though.

[...] Face it: the only “crime” Hobbs may have committed was an abject failure at creating an image worthy of a ten year old’s effort. But his little stick figure and the words “Mohammed Blows” were a perfect shiv for Spragen to stab him with. Working in the hyper-charged atmosphere of an American college campus, where “diversity” and the multiculti fascists have decreed that the only thing open for discussion is… well, that people like Bill Hobbs, who actually believe the First Amendment cuts both ways, are the spawn of Satan and must be silenced.

The person who decided to use cruise missles was president clinton. So if Maher was insulting anyone, it was president clinton.

Actually, Maher was canned because his ratings were dropping like a stone. (Which may or may not have had anything to do with his comments made several MONTHS before he was let go – hard to say for certain.)

[...] Pundits in Tennessee and elsewhere are abuzz with reactions to the resignation of high-profile conservative blogger Bill Hobbs from his media relations gig at Belmont University, following a column in the Nashville Scene objecting to a political cartoon Hobbs posted to an obscure website forgotten even by its creator. See Michael Silence, Blake Wylie, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Reynolds and Six Meat Buffet for more. [...]

Score one for the liberal press. Of course, the Nashville papers would have exposed a lef-wing blogger who drew an offensive cartoon. Suuuuure.

But there is a light at the end of this tunnel — the liberal media is going to find it harder and harder to execute poison-pen hit jobs as their credibility numbers continue to fall. Let us rejoice in the Pew poll that shows that 20 percent of Americans — only one in five — believe all or most of what they read in “news” stories anymore. About an equal number believe that journalists fabricate and lie about everything, with the rest falling in between.

In five years or so, after five more years of liberal bias, the media’s partisan swipes will be meaningless because no one will believe them.
