Not a scandal. The Left has been using phony soldiers to confess to observing war crimes.
If the RNC had used footage of a REAL funeral, the media would be decrying it as “exploitation” of a man’d death.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of the liberal MSM attempt to make conservatives look like phonies.
This is just another case of “projection”.
You nailed it.
Filmmakers for the RNC use stock footage!!! Vote Obama!!!
Makes about as much sense as anything else that have to offer.
- It is unauthorized for a soldier to make political statements or campaign in uniform. The author of this piece is ignorant. Of course they use “fake soldiers.”
However, I know what most soldiers will vote for. I know what party has backed the soldier historically and not abandoned them in this war............ But to a liberal, even if it's gossip or made up news, as long as it fits into their world view it's very important and a legitimate argument.
Soldiers are not allowed to make political statements endorsing a candidate or campaign while in uniform etc.
Out of uniform I could do things, but in uniform, no way! This is essentially a “made up” scandal.
Thank you, also to have used real footage from a funeral would have been in poor taste for a political convention.
You mean those weren’t real civil war soldiers who dropped by for the film.
Instead they found out that the ad appropriately reenacted a funeral rather than use footage of a real funeral for one of our fallen heros for political ends.
Funerals for our fallen soldiers are private events for their families and loved ones, not political props or a place for extremist liberals to go and protest the war.
This is something the RND did right.

Kerry flip-flop on war footage?
Defensively said 2 years ago ‘no intention’ to use Vietnam film for campaign purposes (Posted: July 29, 2004)
On the defensive for filming himself during the Vietnam war, John Kerry once told a reporter he had "no intention" of using the footage for campaign purposes, but some of it will be featured tonight in a video of introduction before his Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech.
The media forgets that Jean Kerry staged footage of his "heroism" in Vietnam for later political use...
So they didn’t intrude on someone’s funeral for a campaign video. That was a good thing unlike the Democrats trying to make the coffins and funerals into campaign and anti-war propaganda.
Remember Kerry crashing the line at the Reagan memorial to get his picture “saluting” the casket (the Congressional viewing was on the other coast).
Not unlike the lesbian porno's with hot blonde chicks when in reality the lesbians in real life are ugly 300 lb b*tch dykes with a scowl on their faces and hairy armpits?
Ha! Pretty much!
Except we do occasionally have real, live hot chicks at our craps table!
