Seven years ago, today, Bill O’Reilly invited a 9/11 victim’s son on his show, only to berate and lecture him for opposing the war in Afghanistan. Stay classy Bill…
Sean Hannity: ‘George Bush…did not play golf while this country was at war.’
Sean Hannity, speaking with former Bush adviser Nicolle Wallace, made an absurdly ridiculous claim, which, of course, was not refuted by Wallace, nor anyone else at Fox News.
HANNITY: George Bush who you worked for did not play golf while this country was at war. He didn’t want the families of loved ones serving, well, that they may have lost the loved ones seeing him on a golf course.
WALLACE: Yes, I mean…
HANNITY: He seemed to be far more in touch.
Remember, “We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you. Now watch this drive.” and all the time spent in Crawford?
It’s been suggested that it wasn’t the war that made Bush cut down on his golfing, but rather doctor’s orders. Of course, two months after Bush said he quit playing golf (2003) he spent Columbus Day playing with “three long-time buddies” and also attended a golf fundraiser for John McCain in 2008. Condoleezza Rice; however, didn’t give up her game – where was Hannity to call her out-of-touch in 2008?

Read MoreFox News Contributor Discusses Need for Military Attacks on Partisan Media
Ralph Peters is a former soldier turned special contributor to Fox News. He recently posted an essay titled, “The Killers Without Guns,” in which he states that future wars may require censorship, blackouts and military attacks on the media in order to curb what he considers abuse that kills our soldiers. Peters also believes that the United States is entitled to do anything to win, even if it means winning dirty.
“Pretending to be impartial, the self-segregating personalities drawn to media careers overwhelmingly take a side, and that side is rarely ours. Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media. Perceiving themselves as superior beings, journalists have positioned themselves as protected-species combatants. But freedom of the press stops when its abuse kills our soldiers and strengthens our enemies. Such a view arouses disdain today, but a media establishment that has forgotten any sense of sober patriotism may find that it has become tomorrow’s conventional wisdom…
“The point of all this is simple: Win. In warfare, nothing else matters. If you cannot win clean, win dirty. But win. Our victories are ultimately in humanity’s interests, while our failures nourish monsters.“
