Crooks and Liars » Petraeus inappropriately talks to the Cowardly Lion

Crooks and Liars » Petraeus inappropriately talks to the Cowardly Lion:

"After Gen. Petraeus’ appearance on the Hugh Hewitt talk show, there is
simply no denying that the good General is a political puppet. Some of you may
not know why I call Hewitt “The Cowardly Lion.” It’s an unbelievable exchange he
had with CNN’s Michael Ware some time ago. (OK, make sure you rinse and spit
after reading that…)
Petraeus needs to worry about the war in Iraq and not
go on shows like HewittWorld. I didn’t know he had the kind of time to waste on
a propagandist, who cares little for the country itself. I think John Cole
should be honored that the Cowardly Lion named him in a post. Here’s some
propaganda for you"


Hackery on the left like this leads to hackery on the right, which leads to further hackery on the left, and back to the right. It is like a wave that grows more intense and violent every time it rebounds from one fringe to the other. Free Speech is Free Speech, let people say what they want, let them talk to who they want. If their ideas are weak, attack their ides, attacking the messenger is wrong. I find the segment made above, to be hateful and disrespectful not only of the Person of Hewitt, but of the nature of open discussion.
