File This Headline Under: Duh

Israel: Hamas was plotting terrorist attacks, And this is news?

Make no mistake, when a headline like this is crafted, it is meant to send an editorial message–that the subject at issue is unusual and newsworthy. Which in this case is laughably absurd. But since over 80 percent of people only read the headlines of news stories, the agenda of the New York Times is clear.

    The man I voted for in 04 coined a phrase in 02 that the MSM/DNC has used to club Republicans with for the last 5 years. Bush called Islam the “Religion of Peace”.
    Not only does Bush support the ROP with words but he spends our taxes to finance homicide bombers through Hamas.
    Given that the President of the USA has such a high opinion of Hamas it is indeed news that Israel would accuse them of plotting terrorists attacks.
    The meaning of the headline is very clear –
    * Bush is either a moron or a liar – take your pick!*

    And to think that yesterday in the comments for the previous article i wrote: “Tune in next week to find out rabid dogs bite” I must now hang my head in shame. How could i be so wrong? Shoulda
    said “Tune in TOMMORROW to find out rabid dogs bite.”
    BUT also notice the headline is worded so it is only an assertion by Israel that hamas was planning terrorist attacks. Anyone who knows anything about our beloved UN understands that Israel lies and is the THE cause for ALL the trouble in the world.
