Sucking up to evil

Philip Klein gives his take on Mike Wallace's shameful interview with Iranian President Ahmadinejad on the American Spectator Blog:

Perhaps one can expect a certain amount of sucking-up when a journalist is desperate to score a big interview, but Wallace crossed the line when he asked Ahmadinejad about President Bush and referred to him as the commander-in-chief of the "so-called 'free' world." In this case Wallace explicitly became a propagandist for Iranian tyranny, by endorsing a morally relativistic universe in which maybe Iran is really the free world and America isn't.

It doesn't matter if you oppress your own people, threaten to annihilate a country with 5 million Jews in the context of seeking a nuclear weapon, or give fiery speeches to chants of "Death to America." These days, as long as you have enough hate for America, Israel and President Bush, you can expect a free pass from the liberal media.

As I have said before, to a left-liberal the true enemy is the United States. First, last and always.
