I am assuming the apparent presumption that Qasem Soleimani was a beloved hero to most Iranians the world over, when as the Ayatollah's chief praetorian guardsman, he was only a hero to the Iranian Regime, its minority of supporters in-country and the Regime's allies. From what I have seen the news is mainly covering the mourning parades, and little in the way of people who celebrate this man's death for the evils he had perpetrated for the last forty years.

Yeah that's what I understood. I asked because the OP seem to think the media is pushing a narrative that you described with no proof at all. We all know that many Iranians hate him. That isn't news.

Yes, Trumpists, let the very stupid hate flow through you.





I guess we really are at the point where they have so blinded themselves with hatred and allowed Fox to delude them into accepting storybook alternate realities that they are capable of claiming that liberals love terrorists and thus mourn one's death. Or perhaps they know that is idiocy but have so embraced dishonesty that they're happy to say it. Or perhaps they know just how ugly what they are saying is but tell themselves that they are justified in light of crimes they imagine were committed against them by "the left" - the apotheosis of their fake victim culture.

Whatever is driving these people, it is ugly and it is a genuine threat to democracy. Democracy can't function when such a large block invents a reality to suit them, based on their hyperpartisan hatred of some other "side".

Except that we already know Democrats love terrorists. They helped finance many of the terrorists in the middle-east, giving $8 billion to ISIS alone and hundreds of millions to the Muslim Brotherhood in order to help them overthrow our ally Egypt. Remember your precious Obama's "Arab Spring"? Supporting al Qaeda in both Libya and Syria. Even Speaker Pelosi has made two unauthorized trips to Syria in order to give our enemy Assad aid and comfort. Naturally everyone is going to associate Democrats with being terrorist sympathizers, because they are and always have been

The Democratic Party are the greatest threat this nation has ever faced. Killing more Americans than all the foreign wars the US has ever fought combined. We've had 192 years of death and terror because of Democrats. You sound confused. Clearly you know nothing about the atrocities committed by the Democratic Party over the last 192 years.

Media Coverage Of Iraq Is A Case Study Of Ignorance And Manipulation
Millions of casual news consumers began their week believing that over the weekend, Iraq expelled the U.S. military from the country. The United States, they thought, now faced the decision to quickly leave or illegally occupy.

Had they flicked through many of the cable or network stations, or read a few headlines on their phones or at the gas station, these Americans had heard the president’s decision to kill the general of Iran’s elite Quds force was made with no understanding of the potential reactions. If they read The New York Times or caught any of its parroting on friendly news shows, they might even think the president had “stunned” the Pentagon officials who had only offered the kill option “to make other options seem reasonable.”

The problem presented here is none of these three scenarios is accurate. The U.S. military is not currently under any order to leave Iraq, though in America’s interest they should, and they might. Further, the Pentagon does not present a president with military options that’s ramifications have not been considered, nor does the chairman of the Joint Chiefs ever present the president a fake option.

“For non-Arabic speakers, reporting in the main news outlets [New York Times] and [Washington] Post is so misinformed (either on purpose or because of incompetence) that you might think that the Iraqi State has officially voted for ejecting U.S. forces from Iraq,” wrote Hussain Abdul-Hussain, the Iraqi-Lebanese chief of Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai’s Washington Bureau.

The vote, he explained, was a party-line vote by Shia Iran supporters in the parliament. Kurdish and Sunni lawmakers had boycotted the session despite threats from the very same Shia militia that kicked off the current cycle of violence, leading to a barely functioning quorum in the chamber.

Of course, to admit threats of political violence from pro-Iranian militia would undermine the media narrative that the parliament, like the militia mob that attacked our embassy, represents everyday Iraqis. What these pro-Iranian lawmakers passed was no United States ouster, but a non-binding, partisan resolution that the United States should leave. The “quorum,” Abdul-Hussain writes, “was 170 of 328 (half + 4, just like Hezbollah designated a [prime minister] in Lebanese parliament with half + 4).”

Soleimani was the Ayatollah's Stasi, their Beria, head of the Quds Force, correctly designated terrorist organization, complete with Shi'a death squads and the leftist US media are not only lionizing the guy, 'military hero of Iran' and all that load of crap, conveniently ignoring his history which isn't so convenient.

Rather odd that the US media's reporting is eerily similar to the propaganda from the Iranian foreign minister. I'd expect it from him, but not from the US media, at least not if they were honest, truthful, and balanced in their reporting (which they decidedly are not).

ABC News' Martha Raddatz sits down with Iran's foreign minister

And then they go flipping the script and blaming their favored target for all the ills of the world, Trump.
As if the Iranian's haven't been escalating their attacks for like the last 6 to 8 months. None of that is reported for a balanced view.
Like WTF?

Man, the US leftist media sure have got TDS really bad. Trump's living rent free in their heads, and they are damaging themselves because of it, all self inflicted to boot.

The only people mourning the death of Qasem Soleimani are Iranians and the Democrats. Both are deeply saddened that more Americans have not been killed, and both viciously condemn the man who killed Qasem Soleimani.

Posts like yours are exactly what is wrong with the right.

Chris Matthews never claimed that Elvis and Princess Diana were terrorists, first off. And anyone with even a basic understanding of the English language could listen to that clip and know exactly what he was saying.

Do you deny that Suleimani was beloved by his people? Does that idiot whose Twitter feed you shared deny that? Do you have any clue, even a little bit, about what Matthews was saying? Rhetorical question, because clearly you don't. And this is why this country is in trouble.
