Hello? Mr. Rieckhoff would suggest using footage from a real funeral? Or just no footage altogether?

Oh Hamburgers.
Next thing, CBS will insist the footage of the Continental Congress was produced with actors too...

Actually The DNC and Media would have howled if the Repubs used a “Real” funeral...was it done in a respectful way..where the “Actors” wearing the correct uniforms? Then I agree with the above..B.F.D.
To: chrisser
And further...
Maybe actors were used in place of soldiers because the real soldiers are busy fighting a war.

CBS didnt even air this part of the Convention....what are they complaining about?
To: Yo-Yo
It was more real than most of cBS’s news coverage. Let me guess, the next charge. The guy in the audience who looked like Abe Lincoln wasn’t really him.

I use stock photos daily in my casino marketing work, and I’ve never had anyone ask if that photo of the hot chick at the craps table is one of our actual customers.
They are REALLY clutching at straws, now.

Military members are prohibited from participating in any partisan political events while in uniform.

What a hoot!
The Left was probably origially hoping to kvetch about the partisan, political use of members of the military in the video.
I'd guess that when they found out they couldn't complain about using real members of the military, they flipped their argument to complain about the use of actors.

Yesterday, I didn’t think I could possibly get any angrier at the MSM.
I was wrong.

They used stock footage. Nothing wrong with that. Standard practice.
I would have preferred they use LiveLeak stuff or former members of the military.

“What it does reveal is a serious lack of understanding and a lack of personal connection to the military,” said Paul Rieckhoff, Executive Director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. And this organization might be...?

Hello? Mr. Rieckhoff would suggest using footage from a real funeral?No kidding. "I can't believe the RNC is exploiting the death of ..... during their convention."

There’s a reason - military members are NOT ALLOWED to endorse a candidate, morons! They’d be crucified by the media for appearing in an RNC video tribute of any kind...
