I don't see this as proof that the media is controlled by some liberal mastermind...quite the opposite. There was no mind, master or otherwise, at work, period. I bet the Nazi's had men they called "Soldiers" and "Officers". Does that mean every American soldier or officer is a Nazi? Not by the longest of shots.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Actually, they turned to another blonde semi-star celebrity - Paris Hilton.  But then, everybody realized that it wasn't much of a story since she's not much of a celebrity.

You seem to be implying that we non-liberals make a distinction?

Iron Hammer was actually named after the song by Razor...

Iron Hammer Lyrics

Artist(Band):Razor
(Print the Lyrics)


You made the trip to catch the band
We better do the best we can
We're glad you came to trash and see
Our raw attack of pure energy
Iron Hammer, in your face
Wall of metal shakes the place
Total volume, full scale attack
Once you're here ain't going back
Now the power's in your hands
A message for all metal fans
I know this sounds a little cliche
But I don't give a damn anyway!
So let this be a lesson to you
Though we leave we're never through
If you help to keep metal alive
The underground will always survive
I pledge: to keep it alive
I promise: metal will thrive
I swear: myself to the cause
I'll teach: all the metal laws

There is no liberal control over the news media.

There is no liberal bias... there is no conservative bias... there is a bias toward SENSATIONALISM.... news is not right or left its splash or sizzle!

It's a pretty insignificant article but i honestly don't think it is trying to draw comparisons between Bush and Hitler or the US and wartime Germany. I read as suggesting that choosing this name is a pit of faux pas as it was, unknown to the people who choose it, used by the Nazis. Nothing more nothing less.

I strongly disagree, Niknak.

Its another not so subtle attempt by certain media outlets to insult this administration. Nothing wrong with that, because god knows they've got plenty to work with, but a story like this is simply silly and an embarassment to the service who decided to publish it.

"Eisenhammer" is a natural german word while "Iron Hammer" is a stupid unnatural combination in English.

 Hammers are iron by default and the material only specified when they are not made of iron - like "bronze hammer".

 Anyway, the disignation "Iron Hammer" is just another example of a smithy fetish someone has in US military operation-naming department.

"Operation Blast Furnace" - Bolivia

"Operation Joint Forge" - Bosnia

"Operation Noble Anvil" - Kosovo

 There are probably more ineptly named ones if anyone cares to search.
