No offense meant to Kathryn Jean Lopez, but the title implies that the rats were previously facing the truth. That is, they had to have faced the truth in order to turn their backs to it. When did the rats ever care about truth, honesty, integrity, etc.?
Silly me. Once I heard the facts, I have to admit to being shocked at how blatantly the dems lied about this situation.
I know, I know, I shouldn't be shocked but...I guess hope springs eternal that they will find the unpopped kernel of decency in their dark souls...
"Those were inappropriate, awful pictures that debased human dignity, but they weren't the torture chambers of Saddam Hussein, and Kennedy knew it."
Dang straight he knew it!
Ever hear of a shredder?
Hope to see your $.02 tomorrow night. ;o)
You know me. I served 21 years in the military.
I have been through 3 wars.
I am disgusted by these Senate Democrats.
They are not Americans.
I do not understand why these people feel they have to lie about almost everything.
The Democrats/Marxists have been doing this for sixty years. What is interesting about recent smear campaigns is that they are so obvious. Both Limbaugh and Savage are being attacked on the basis of clearly phony accusations. Perhaps that does not matter. I am curious as to why the Marxists are so brazen. I am also curious now about other recent smear campaigns that were successful for the leftists. Maybe many of us did not realize that they were smear campaigns because we ourselves are too apathetic.
Maybe the Democrats are at the tail end of this tactic, kind of like crying “Wolf” too many times. We will know if it backfires on them. I would hope so, but the sheeple may be too apathetic to care or to take action. But then again the Marxists will just refine their techniques to carry out their slander.
Excellent column.
The Democrats are such hypocrites. They lie and distort all day long, they undercut our troops, and then they jump at an opportunity to smear Rush, saying he doesn’t respect those in the service.
To the Democrats: Pull the beam out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to be able to remove the spec from someone else’s eye.
bttt
When was the last year that Democrats stood with truth, moral fairness and righteousness?
That's kind of like saying flies land on manure. They do it every day and it's just natural for them.

A Democrat[i.e.] communist would not know the truth if it walked up to them and bit them on the leg.
Neither they nor 98% of the American public care anything about the truth.
All 98% of the American public cares about is how much can the Government steal from the other guy to give to me.
John, when do liberals stop lying?
Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor Michael Bramlett: In December 2006, Bramlett pleaded guilty to a federal charge of wearing a Marine Corps uniform as well as decorations, medals, badges and ribbons without authorization.

Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor Theodore Bantis: Bantis pleaded guilty in September 2006 to a federal charge of wearing military awards without authorization. He was sentenced to 30 days in federal prison and fined $5,000. (HomeOfHeroes.com)
Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor Louis Lowell McGuinn: Arrested in April of this year, McGuinn was federally charged with wearing unauthorized service medals and badges, including those for distinguished service: the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. (HomeOfHeroes.com)
Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor Raymond John Gauthier: After wearing medals to which he was not entitled, Gauthier pleaded guilty in April 2007. He was sentenced to five years of probation and had to issue a public apology. From now through the year 2011, Gauthier must report to work at a jail on every Memorial Day and Veterans Day. (Florida State Attroney's Office)
Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor David McClanahan: Wounded in Iraq three times, awarded three Silver Stars and nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor was the story McClanahan liked to tell of his military service. But in reality, he had served two years in the Navy and four years in the Army, from which he was discharged as a private with no medals of valor. McClanahan was indicted in May on two federal misdemeanor counts of knowingly and intentionally falsely representing himself as having been awarded medals authorized by Congress and on a felony count of making a false financial statement in connection with the misdemeanor charges. (ABC News)
It is very interesting to me how this process of deception has progressed. We started with small stretches of the truth (which were allowed by the media and a polite society who generally disdains looking someone in the eye and saying “you liar”)which led to more and larger stretches of the truth which led to small lies (still not called on it) until now we have outright bald faced straight up lies. Not “stretches”, not “misunderstandings” not “spin” but straight out lies. It is time for our polite society to look at these jerks and call them what they are. LIARS.
All the response will be for naught. The point is that these people make these stupid charges, knowing that they are untrue and not caring. Because when the topic of “fairness” comes up next year, they will refer back to it as if it were the truth, and there will not be enough heat generated to refute it. The people of our great land will accept it as established truth. There, wasn’t that easy?
