Reply #1: "al-Sadr, a firebrand anti-U.S. cleric who commands a large militia"

[IndianaGreen]

I am tired of all the cut and pasting our MSM uses in "reporting" the news. Haven't you noticed how al-Sadr is always tagged with the "firebrand anti-U.S" label? This is the same label that WaPO & NY Times always use on Venezuela's President Chavez.

They do the same thing with Cuba. Everytime that Cuba is in the news, it is always referred to as "the communist run island."

This repetitious propaganda has the effect that whenever the public hears about al-Sadr or Chavez, the little voices inside their collective heads hears "firebrand anti-U.S," and when they hear any mention of Cuba, they hear "communist run island."

This is why a large number of Americans still believe that Saddam was involved in 9-11!
