Enough anti-war Already
The anti-war movement is getting very old and very ineffective from a political perspective in my opinion. I looked over the breaking news section at topix.net. The cool thing about Topix is that they have this NewsRank system that rates a story on several factors. What I found interesting tonight was the rank of the story titled “Senator Criticizes Administration for Not Leveling With Public About Iraq”. This particular article originally sourced from the Associated Press does not seem to be ranking up there with other stories like the “Oprah and Letterman finally end their feud?” article. See a screen capture below showing the NewsRanks (little number by articles) for the articles mentioned.
I tend to agree with Mark Noonan over at Blogs for Bush when he says:
“it is the so-called “anti-war” movement which is now making this campaign longer and bloodier than it ever had to be. It is the anti-war movement which provides the hope for the enemy and makes us have to fight that much longer and harder.”
Even though the MSM is not likely to make a move away from the story just because of a statement like Mark’s, maybe they will move on once their numbers start to show that they are not attacting a mass number of people with these stories of the anti-war movement.
