This is really a classy lady and a great journalist.

I really resent those who, when her assault became public information, insinuated and flat out said that her attack was somehow the result of her getting tarted up and putting herself in the wrong place.

So what you going to do about it?

“Whose lives otherwise mean nothing, because if you’re not there to record the truth about what’s happening to them, then it cannot be stopped.” Don’t worry, Lara, God sees.

 This woman has 10 times the balls you do, rex. 10 times.

I think he was complimenting her, but maybe my reading comprehension skills aren’t what they once were.

 rex the fake emperor was just being its usual disingenuous self.

Lara continues to suffer from the classic signs of survivors guilt.  The trauma she endured in Cairo will be something she deals with the rest of her life.

Well said, one of the few (but not unheard of) times you’ve stated an obvious truth that transcends politics.

Yea,yea…God sees,God looks,God watches,blablabla…
Too bad he never does anything huh?
Oh but wait….in the end,he’ll be there to judge you,right?

What a fantastic guy your God is…seriously.I really hope he doesn’t exist,cause if he does,I got a serious beef with this dumbass when I get there.

you won’t get there, idiot.  and who cares about your beef?

I would rather they not have been so obvious in making Lara’s Egypt attack part of this story.  Her assault wasn’t a direct result of the state – more likely it was perpetrated by the same people who opposed the government and may even be in the current government (or like in the US they oppose any government).    Lara took it in stride though.  She certainly can speak from professional experience, even without Egypt.

I won’t get there because there is no “there” to get to.
And who cares what you think about me?
God?
Truly pathetic.

Hope not, usually when he’s being snarky its more obvious.

Lara, hello.  Just finished watching your piece on Marie Colvin’s death and your admiration of her
contributions as a fellow journalist.  You said that her death makes you feel guilty and a bit responsible as you want to be on the front lines reporting as well.  For me, you are the interpreter for events like Marie Colvin’s work and death and what these events mean to journalism and
in a broader sense what they mean to me as a world citizen.  Please know that without your keen ability to explain the role of journalism in war zones like the Middle East I would not have
the insight that your piece gave me this morning.   Thank you for your contributions as your knowledge continues to educate and enrich my life as one of your readers/listeners.

yes you are. truly.

At least I’m aware Santa is not real,which is more than I can say about you.
Keep on reading the magical book,and keep on letting 70 years old pedophiles teaching you about right and wrong,seriously,it’s all good.
Btw…the only sane person in that book is Jesus,and the Church doesn’t even follow his teachings…how stupid is that?It’s very,very stupid.
I don’t believe in God,but if I did,I would certainly follow the word of his Son,instead of using it for power,influence,profit and lust.
The Church is a disgusting institution,and only morons would  follow it blindly.God is useless.

Oh, for god’s sake, it’s not all about you, Lara. Get over yourself. 

lol i don’t really care what you believe or don’t believe. so save your rants for someone who does.

Rent free

 There is only one reason for all of this, …….ready.      ISLAM!!!!!!!

The wonderful religion of peace, making a difference one body at a time.

Which means she has many thousands times more than you, Mr. “Oh My God, There’s a Man in a Turban”. I was complimenting the dear lady. “Classy” and “great journalist” are phrases I use sparingly.

 sock alert

Why would she feel guilty?   What, was she the first to do such reporting and all followed her into a battle zone?  That feeling of guilt seems a little incomprehensible.

As I said, it’s  survivor’s guilt felt by those who’ve endured a significant or similar trauma such as Lara’s rape in Cairo.

lololololololol please texan. 

how? or are you just really that stupid?

Careful Lar, you defend Arab Springers & tell the world Syria is our favorite destination for rendition & you’re fair game for a little present that in military jargon is called a drone

…how the hell did you get that from his comment?

Saying “Islam” is not broad enough to identify the reason. Islam has more in common with other religions than with any other type of belief system. So you should say, RELIGION!!!!!!!  But since you’re Crusader Rabbit, you don’t.

That’s not what she said. What she said implied that she’s convinced that those who attacked her were connected to the then-government. She may have reasons for believing that which any rational person would respect; she may believe that because of her better feel for the context than any of us looking on from a distance or at all objectively could ever appreciate. But that’s not her point: Her POINT is that oppressive antidemocratic governments deliberately, systematically use terror to intimidate public reporting of true facts, and that it’s only when we have dedicated professional reporters present that there’s any hope for knowing whether or not what such governments are saying is true or not. That’s the basic dedication of the war zone reporter; they all believe in it. 

Also, I’m not sure what you mean by “Lara took it in stride”. What the Egypt situation did was mark her for assault, rendering it impossible for her to do the sorts of things Marie Colvin was able to do up to her death. It APPEARS to have marked Logan in two ways: AS a target (Go back & check the nature of the coverage from the Arab Spring; millions in the Middle East now know of her & her face as they know those of their families; any dictatorship’s security apparatus would foresee support and positive terror value in harassing, abusing even killing her.) – & as a victim of trauma which typically takes years to deal with, if at all.

Oh for Satan’s sake, she didn’t raise it you nimnod; she was talking entirely as an expert and not at all about her own situation & then the one woman talking head kept asking and asking and asking. I thought she handled it about as well as any victim could. The talking head may have thought of herself as a stand-in for listeners, asking the obligatory “Can you relate” question, but it was much more awkwardly asked than it was answered.

Well then, so are a thousand or more homes & offices of website owners. WIRED online probably has the most detailed & abundant information on the US drone attacks on the rest of the world. Talking about the drones is like Paul Popeil used to call “worda mouth advertising”, the government LIKES that coverage – which was part of Logan’s point.

You’ve lived a sheltered life, Jay. Shall I have Beauregard order Santa to park the Hummer in the north or south parkade complex before putting the reindeer, ponies & elves to bed?

Indeed you do use any kind words sparingly when it comes to women.  Very sparingly.

You use kind words not at all when it comes to conservative females..  They are consistently fat, over the hill, overly made-up, and whorish in your  book.

Which puzzle me because for a guy who defends the above by saying that we are moralistic country and that you are only echoing that, your compliments to Lara Logan are surprising considering  that she was married to one man and got pregnant with another married man’s baby.

Here’s the story from a site you might deem marginally acceptable… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/08/lara-logan-pregnant-with_n_111392.html

Yet here you are calling Lara “classy” while calling Callista Gingrich “Callgirlista” for taking up with Newt Gingrich while he was married.

So I suppose that leaves one wondering what sort of penance it might take for you to forgive such an indiscretion as Lara’s when it comes to women…   conservative women in particular….Mass rape?  Their having survivor’s guilt?  Grace after mass rape?  Mass rape? Not being Republican? Not taking up with a Republican presidential candidate?  Mass rape?  Being a vehicle whereby you can obfuscate criticism of Muslim men with “cracker” sexism?….. Mass rape?…

Well, l et me give you benefit of the doubt here, and say NOT mass rape or surviving mass rape

As long as there’s politics and as long as there’s ideology, there is  absolutely no way that a conservative woman with Logan’s history would escape being  called a whore by you.

As you say, you are a man who compliments women sparingly.  You  issue compliments only if and when they can serve as cover and contrast for disdain and insults toward some other opponent.

I’m sure Logan would be happy to know that she came in very handy for you  there.

Generally in the process of stating something negative about his opponents from the other side of his mouth.

Lara, a child is abused every 10 secs and every 2 mins a woman is assaulted in the USA. Make the most of your exceptionalism and visibility.
