war on boys
I would call them evil, not ignorant. Ignorance can be cured. They know full well what they are doing........
A defamation lawsuit ought to get their attention.
Ignorant? How about dishonest, contrived, slanderous and political?
Take it from a photographer. Its easy to catch people making that exact gesture especially if the photo is a single frame of video.
I took a pic at a tea party express event that looked like people giving a nazi salute. Somebody on stage asked for a show of hands about something and I took a pic of the crowd.
I destroyed the photo.
good luck to them
anti “Trail Life” articles will be linking back to this accusation for the next 5 years or more, as has happened to GS and their so-called “Planned Parentood” links, consisting of 3-4 cherry picked incidents (inappropriate literature left by a left wing UN funded group on a display table at a UN sponsored conference, 10 yr old quote by a long-gone CEO Cloninger, reference links in a published manual) which are cited and repeated endlessly
btw we GS do the same “Taps” motions using both hands/arms
One man’s perceived ignorance is another man’s agenda!
The Ass Press is slime.
They knew full well ahead of time how that innocent pic would be interpreted. And they furthered the misinterpretation by taking their time at making a half hearted correction.
Bastards.
Its good to learn who your enemies are.
Mr. Colford. You are lying. Either AP reporters are now so stupid that they wouldn't know what the image would convey... or it was intentional. Which is it? Mr. Colford is a coward, liar, and poltroon.
No, just demonic.
Ignorant my gluteus maximus. This was a hit piece specifically designed to smear Trail Life.
The MSM, especially AP and the major networks, cannot be trusted at all.
I recommend this organization drop that tradition.
I expect to see a similar picture of the Boy Toy Scouts being led by a “master” in a pink tutu and hooker heels.
At the onset of WWII as a grammar school student at IC Catholic grammar school kid in Chicago’s Bridgeport community. We would begin studies after a prayer with the salute to the flag reciting the “Pledge of Alligience” holding our right arm outward palm down in that fashion. Later it was changed to palm up to differentiate from the symbolism the Nazi’s used.
The unidentified AP reporter and his editor who think they’re “cute” may or may not have been aware of this custom. But what never gets reported and doesn’t deserve that “courtesy” is the reporters and the editor’s name. Since the media has been pulling this krap off. It should be and blasted it all over the place.
Just because they might meet a blank, or a busted vehicle blank, or a bag of blank spread on their office floor with their “opus” left as a message. Would not be the fault of the reporting group.
What they did was commit a deliberate attack on this organization specifically designed to hurt and harm that organization. This was no accident, this was an abuse of power by the people responsible, and they need to be made to pay for it personally with their own blood and teeth.
I'll have to bow to General Jackson's solution for this sort of problem.
"President Andrew Jackson would remember his mother telling him,"
‘Never tell a lie, nor take what is not your own, nor sue anybody for slander, assault or battery. Always settle them cases yourself.’

Between our Pack disbanding and our Troop contracting, we re-chartered nearly 100-120 fewer people this February. The Troop is on a terminal glide path to disbanding in ‘15 and have effectively closed the door to new members.
