Right-Wing Pundits and the War
Via the Huffington Post, editorial cartoonist Tom Tomorrow marks the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq with a brilliant compilation (click to make bigger) of what right wing pund-idiots (Fineman and Matthews aside, though they were stupendously wrong as well) were saying about critics of the war back in March/April 2003:
What makes all this so infuriating is not so much that these guys were dead wrong, but rather the fact that these are the same people now insisting that those who support a phased withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq are "defeatists" and do not support the troops. You'd think they'd show a bit more restraint before ranting and raving about how we'll only lose if we quit but I suppose that's far too much to ask.

I'll take that dinner from O'Reilly.
My favorite pundit is actually Chris Matthews, talking about women loving a President with Swagger. Ha.
"What makes all this so infuriating is not so much that these guys were dead wrong, "
I'd add that these guys are still elite pundits. It's not honestly deniable anymore that these guys are anything other than propagandists, like Baghdad Bob.
