Assunto: Re:Democrats supported the war,but only based on what they were fed as facts.
anastasia:I didn't say right-wing nuts. I said left-wing. There's a difference.
In the news today is a story about a military photo journalist who took a picture of a US soldier cradling a young Iraqi girl. The girl was severely hurt by a bomb. The soldier was carrying the girl to get medical help. He was clearly comforting her.
Michael Moore, the left-wing's poster boy for spineless, gutless, dumber-than-rocks democrats, ran across the picture and posted it on his website. Moore passed the picture off as just another example of how the US military is killing children. The child in the photo had later died of her wounds.
And all the left-wing, spineless and brainless twits cried out against the US and it's war policies.
But there was a problem. Moore used the photo without the permission of the Journalist for one. For two, Moore used the photo as propaganda. In short, Moore lied. He used the death of this little girl to once again besmirch Bush and the war in Iraq.
But, the Photo Journalist testified that in fact, the US soldier found the girl after an enemy roadside bomb went off. The girl was killed by terrorists.
This is what people like you fall for. You read about some event and jump to the conclusion that it's true. Case in point, your claim that Bush made fun of people dying in Iraq.
Your claim is not only false, it's a deliberate lie. And you fell for it. Just like all the readers of Michael Moore's website, you fell for a lie. A distortion. And clear thinking people, like myself, see right through such things.
