The New Eason Meme
From tonight's "Hannity & Colmes", liberal Jordan apologist Daniel Schechter introduced the new Bolshie talking points re: Eason Jordan: targeting al Jazeera is the same thing as targeting American journalists.
Of course, by Schechter's absurd standard, that would mean Tokyo Rose and Lord Haw Haw should have been provided with press credentials and immunized from air raids during World War II.
It is interesting because both Schechter and Jordan seem to be in agreement that fealty to the "profession" of journalism somehow trumps loyalty to one's country. Thus enemy propagandists like Baghdad Bob are brothers of the quill.
These silly little people can wander about the world lost in the illusion that they are citizens of some global village, but when a brutal dictator gets set to drop them in the dungeon, guess which embassy they'll be running for?
