Moyers is a partisan hack, period. He's bound to be right sometimes, but then again, so is Rush Limbuagh, Howard Dean and Fidel Castro. The point I was making is that Moyers only points out what is convenient for him to point out. His words should be taken with the same truckload of salt that Limbaugh's words should be taken with. If the war had gone this well from the beginning, do you seriously believe that Moyers would be praising the war effort with the same enthusiasm that he is still blasting it? |

Limbaugh is a hack comedian. When Moyers accuses Bush of having a tattoo of a hammer and sickle on his Johnson you may make that comparison.
There needs to be a Godwin's law for comparing journalists to Limbaugh. |

If so, and if you tuned into Moyers, you would have seen him report on the difficulties poor people had as a result of the policies of the Clinton administration. Why? Because he reports on government policies. Quote:

Care to try again, using an example that isn't merely wishful thinking? |

How is that technically possible when the reasons for entering the war we basically all shown to be not only incorrect, but basically unfounded and probably intentional misinformation? You have no idea what "war gone well" means in realistic terms any more than we do, and you have no idea what Bill Moyers would hypothetically have commented on had you hypothetical ideal war taken place. Please, leave the raw conjecture to propoganda specialists like Rush.
