New York Times: Suleimani a "Warrior-Philosopher"

CBS "journalist" Elizabeth Palmer begged Iran's Foreign Minister to tell her how hard Iran would be hitting America.

Is it just me, or does anyone detect hopefulness in this question? As in, "When will you launch an attack which will hurt Trump in the polls? Oh pleasepleaseplease."

Journalists from ABC and CBS eagerly raced over to Iran to toss softballs to a top government official. They also wondered when the country will strike back at the United States. Good Morning America’s Martha Raddatz on Tuesday highlighted the “hundreds of thousands of mourners" "paying their respects" to the dead terrorist, Qasem Soleimani.

Over on CBS This Morning, Elizabeth Palmer talked to Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. He declared the country would get revenge:"“We will do it not in a cowardly way, but in a clear and a proportionate way." Palmer wondered, "When?"

She didn’t exactly grill Zarif, making him a victim at one point: "Can you confirm that you were denied a visa to travel to speak at the United Nations this week?" The journalist insisted she "pressed" the Iranian, but viewers didn’t see that.

Martha Raddatz, who cried on air when Trump was elected, seems almost giddy at the prospect of Iranians killing Americans:

Over on Good Morning America, Raddatz offered non-judgmental details on the coming attack, asking if the Iranians will take credit for it...

On Monday, Raddatz was moved by the "powerful, "profound" mourners of Soleimani, people chanting "death to America."

CBS' Palmer went even further, acting effectively as an Iranian propaganda proxy.

As did Norah O'Donnell.

Despite the fact that the murderous Iranian regime was forcing its people to attend mourning ceremonies for General Qasem Soleimani, anchor Norah O'Donnell was noticeably impressed when she reported that "So many mourners filled the streets of Iran, they could be seen from space." Later adding: "The procession stretched nearly four miles as Iran's leaders made new vows to avenge the death of its top general.”

Palmer was in the crowd and praised it as an "epic salute to Qasem Soleimani." The foreign correspondent could add Iranian propaganda peddler to her resume, seeing as she fell for the crocodile tears of Iran’s supreme leader...

Palmer’s declaration was followed up with this message of death for President Trump from an Iranian woman in the crowd: "I just say the sentence for President Trump; you dig your grave." "Soleimani's daughter was also on hand. Her father's death, she said, would bring dark days to America," Palmer hyped.

...

"There's already been some political fallout from the assassination," Palmer concluded with another Iranian propaganda line. "Iran has announced it's pretty much withdrawing from the nuclear deal and going back to enriching as much uranium as it likes."

God save us from the fury of sexually-shriveled liberal bitter spinsters.

But we should also ask God for protection against envenomed, bitter, sexually-harassing male liberals like Chris Matthews, who deemed Trump "an assassin."

An assassin of mish, maybe!

But the New York Times went still further. Perhaps feeling that it was slipping in the race to brand terrorists with the most laudatory obituary descriptions -- "austere religious scholar," "revered military leader" -- the New York Times decided to just straight-up win by calling the murderous terrorist Suleimani "a warrior-philosopher."

Did you know that according to the opinion piece, Soleimani is a "national war hero" killed in what can only be understood as an "act of war?" Let's just leave out the multiple immediate "acts of war"T from Iran including rocket attacks on U.S. Forces that killed one and wounded several, as well as the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

"For decades now, the United States has often seemed driven to hurt Iran," according to the Times, noting the date 1979 but dismissing the Iranian hostage crisis where 52 Americans were held for 444 days as an incident that "killed nobody in the end but poisoned relations to this day." Gee, ya think?

Perhaps that whole thing about "Death to America," the hundreds of Americans they've also killed and all the terrorist actions they’ve been involved in has a little bit to do with it too?

"At a certain point, Iran started retaliating." Poor beset upon Iran, pushed by that evil America.

The Times then topped itself:

"[Suleimani's] asceticism and quiet charisma joined to create an image of a warrior-philosopher who became the backbone of a nation's defense against a host of enemies."

Meanwhile, terrorist proxy Ilhan "Omar" Nur is offering Iran not-super-hidden suggestions about which targets to attack: She suggests they should attack Trump hotel properties.

What a patriot.

The inspiringly patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Tehran, no, check that, I’m hearing she’s from Minnesota) tweeted Monday offering some unsolicited military advice to the Islamic Republic of Iran: "Trump needs to immediately divest from his businesses and comply with the emoluments clause. Iran could threaten Trump hotels *worldwide* and he could provoke war over the loss of revenue from skittish guests. His business interests should not be driving military decisions." She also tweeted a video in which the late comedian George Carlin asserts that the U.S. is "not very good at anything" besides war. And so once again we have to ask the by-now-familiar question: Is Ilhan Omar a traitor who hates America?

What is Islam good for besides murder? They've been telling me "they invented algebra" since the day they killed 2,994 of my countrymen on September 11, 2001.

Anything since the sixteenth century, or is that it?
