I was alive and awake back then
watching network news every day - still can't remember Elizabeth Vargas, Charles Gibson, Brian Williams, katie Couric, Dan Rather, or Bob Scheiffer advocating that liberals go attack RepubliCANT politicians.
I do remember reading many blogs where people (not politicians or news reporters) wrote in saying that Bush and Cheney should be tried for war crimes, though.
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
