Lying Lancet Follow-Up
More background info has come to light on Editor Richard Horton, the sophomoric leftist who sacrificed the integrity of the Lancet, one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world, to advance his cherished cause of throwing our 2006 election to Democrats, with the broader aim of destroying the nascent democracy in Iraq.
The whole sordid story of the patently phony study he pushed through, wildly exaggerating war casualties, is documented by National Journal. Watch his cadaverous face twist with hatred as he raves about the child-killing "axis of Anglo-American imperialism" at a UK Stop The War Coalition rally that also featured Jihad George Galloway:
Corrupting science for the sake of any politics is a crime, but Horton's politicizing is in itself highly criminal in its effects. As Pam Meister observes:
[I]deology trumped up as science may well have put the lives of American troops and civilians working to rebuild Iraq in greater jeopardy. Just as the fake flushed Koran story sparked riots in the Muslim world, this flawed research was simply more gold the Islamofascists and their sympathizers could mine in their efforts to topple the Great Satan. In their rush to implicate Bush as a "war criminal," they forget — or don't care — that the casualty count could rise as a result of their follies. "We support the troops" is an oft-heard, but very misleading, phrase — about as misleading as this study.
Not only do vermin like Horton not support the troops, they are getting them killed by fighting tooth and nail on the side of al Qaeda and Iran in the Islamic propaganda war against democracy and the West.
Hat tip: LGF, on a tip from Ian from the EUSSR.

Lately they have been saying things like 150,000 have died as a result of "violence" in the last 5 years. Thats ALL violence - even if someone killed someone in a fit of jealous rage, honor killings of Muslim women, robberies, ect. Who knows how many Saddam Hussein killed every year - it was probably more than 30,000. He filled mass graves all over Iraq during his reign of terror. But I guess those dont count because Saddam hated "Imperialist" America as much as the liberal media does now.
Muslims are killing each other in Darfur and the liberal media wants us to stop it? Why? Wouldnt that be too "imperialistic"??? Maybe the liberals should form their own army and save Darfur - when they try and stick flowers in the gun barrels of the Arab muzzies they will get their heads blown clean off. Solves 1 major problem at least.

'Watch his cadaverous face twist with hatred as he raves about the child-killing "axis of Anglo-American imperialism"'
so, a man expresses passionate hatred of mass-murderers and you think that's worth deriding?
If you're capable of it (which I very much doubt), you should meditate for a while on the children who have been murdered directly as a result of policies you support.
No wait, you should just fuck off.

Enjoy yourself there. It's in Arabic, but you should know how to read that since you are all for muslims.

Only a liberal can scorn the killing of terrorists and blame the murders committed by terrorists on Americans, while wildly exaggerating the casualties in the first place.
Horton doesnt hate mass murderers. He propagandizes on their behalf before every U.S. election.
Look for the next Lancet "Study" in October or so...
