Remember William Arkin, that execrable scumbag....

   ....who insulted our troops on the WaPo blog? He's not just your
   [1]ordinary leftist jerk, no sir. Arkin is full-fledged traitor to
   this country. Arkin goes all the way back to the Vietnam days,
   betraying America. He caused quite a stir in the 1980's when he
   revealed "secrets" about America's nuclear weapons that the
   authorities could neither confirm nor deny.
   IOW, Arkin made accusations that may or may not have been true but
   severely damaged America's reputation and relations with its allies
   anyway.

     Yet, again, I see the American Left betraying our country, aided
     and abetted by a no-caring, no-seeing, know-nothing mainstream
     media. Bill Arkin is just the latest in a long line of
     anti-American journalists who have infested the profession while
     being given a mantle of respectability. These names range from
     Walter Duranty to I.F. Stone, and now to Arkin.
     Communist traitors and sympathizers, and a few dupes such as
     Herbert Matthews, have long worked for both the print and visual
     media, either as full-time staffers, columnists, or stringers,
     including for CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Newsweek, The New York Times, L.A.
     Times, now Reuters, AP (Vietnam war), Baltimore Afro-American, the
     old Washington Star, religious newspapers, et cetera, going as far
     back as Walter Duranty, Lionel Martin, Charles A. Allen Jr.,
     Abdullah Schlieffer, Alden Whitman, Calvin Zon, George B. Murphy
     Jr., Marc Cooper and Robert Scheer, among many others.
     No matter what happens to Arkin vis-a-vis The Washington Post
     on-ine blog/column, or as a consultant to NBC, he will always find
     a safe home at Harvard (just as so many other marxists, communists,
     and socialists have), or he will be hired by another far-left,
     tax-exempt foundation funded by other far-left tax exempt
     foundations, Hollywood leftists, and anti-American millionaires
     such as Stewart Mott, Norman Lear and George Soros.
     However, the venom of hate that Arkin has spewed forth against our
     military may actually serve as another wake-up call to the average,
     loyal, and decent American as to how far the rot of marxism and
     hatred of America has entrenched itself in the mainstream media.
     Perhaps now we can start to excise this cancer of âhateâ from our
     midst and start cleaning up the media who need it so badly.

   Let us hope so, but there are so many fools on the left, it will take
   a bulldozer (or a nuclear terrorist attack) to wake some of them up.
