....They were virtually ignored by the mainstream press. All weekend, it has been a challenge to find any reporting on the Iraqi elections. Instead, we have been bombarded by reports of the "unrest" in Toledo. You can bet your ass that if there had been bloody attacks that suppressed turnout or if the turnout had been low for disinterest, it would have been repeated ad nauseum in the media. Even outlets like AP have had to search to find things to nit pick about the election. Certainly adds more veracity to the saying, "If it bleeds it reads."
The Iraqi people have taken yet another step on the way to a lasting freedom despite the terror, violence and intimidation of thugs and terrorists that oppose freedom, oppose progress, and oppose woman's rights. Yet it is these very savages that the media, the Left and the dimwitted in Hollywood would try to convince us are George Washington, Simon Bolivar and Ho Chi Minh rolled into one. Yeah, right.
