Talk radio is all abuzz about the New York Times' latest hit piece on the American military. The
article in question presents stark stories of soldiers who fail to properly adjust to civilian society, at the cost of the lives of others, supposedly revealing a "patchwork picture of a quiet phenomenon, tracing a cross-country trail of death and heartbreak."
However, the gaping hole in the lengthy article is that the Times never compared their tally of returning soldiers' crimes, (largely and dubiously compiled from press coverage of such crimes), with that of the general population. As
Move America Forward has shown, failure to present Iraq veterans' crimes within the context of civilian crime rates, reveals the Grey Lady's pathetic prejudice against our returning heroes.
Of course, this article is absolutely in keeping with the New York Times' previous hit jobs. But why haven't any of the GOP nominees connected this slap in the face of true patriots with the Grey Lady's ideological partners in crime--Billary, Obama, and Edwards?
I guarantee that the first Repub candidate to pair the Times' latest smear with the Dems will score some easy points in these final days before the SC primary.
