Fri Apr 04, 2008 - From Today's Wilkow Majority Program. Background at Hot Air, but the short of it is that Representitive Patrick McHenry is being hounded by the liberal blogs, including Think Progress, for calling an American Soldier a "two bit security guard" during his recent trip to Iraq. What they fail to say is that it was NOT a soldier, but rather a foreign independent contractor.

And they’ll keep saying it’s a soldier because if they spout it out enough, more people will believe it’s the truth. I think it’s the first time where these liberals will defend a soldier, which should raise some eyebrows there. If a liberal is defending a soldier, then you know there’s something fishy with the story.

Not quite the first time. Remember “Scott Thomas” Beauchamp.

Like I said, if they defend a soldier, you know it’s fishy, as in your point. Of course, we didn’t know it until it was really investigated. Good point, Knight.

I wonder if there’s anything to all this.
