Gotta love GCG’s non-correction correction up on his site now.

Shorter:

Even though every fact in the email was wrong, that doesn’t mean the facts in the email were wrong.

Those clowns must slam 84 ounces of stupid every morning …

Wouldn’t a linguist have to have a better command of his first language than this dude?

There could be a major scandal buried inside all the noise about Obama’s trip. It may wind up becoming “Obamagate” if the mainstream media has the balls to follow it up. Read More.http://www.tagg-lines.com/2008.....dirty.html

A lie goes halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on. The GOP knows that and has mastered SPAM politics.

But my favorite part is who wrote the email. A linguist. A very cunning linguist for sure, but somehow I doubt that in the social hierarchy of the military in war time, a linguist is the most revered guy on base.

“Dude, I served in Afghanistan!” “no way! you kill anyone?” “nah, but I studied some crazy phonemes. It was seriously glottal. Civilians just can’t understand.”

Commenter at Blackfive, where they have not acknowledged that the email is BS: Even if it is not true, what is important is that I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened.

And they haven’t a clue just how blindly and insanely biased they are. (Or nuts, if you prefer.)

True to form, Obama probably turned to the troops with a sneer and barked, “what do you little jerks want?” Oh, wait… that was Krusty McSame? Oh.

The header of the email via Snopes; “Hussein’s Visit to Afghanistan”, pretty much gives the game away. A nice added touch is “I’m not a very political person” — no, just an exceptionally petty one.

But yeah, it makes total sense Obama would fly all the way to a base in Afghanistan for various meetings and photo ops and not do a little gladhandling — what better way to fool everyone in America than snub the troops in front of a plane full of reporters?

by the way we weren’t at the game it was on TV although my mother would have probably brought her ironing board to Yankee Stadium.

Swear to God this is a true story. In the early 80’s or late 70’s my brother(Dan) and I were watching a Yankee vs Red Sox game(at Yankee Stadium) when Lou Pinella came up to bat. In response to the crowd’s reaction, my mother, who was standing behind us ironing (she was always doing that), pipes up, “You know Dan, they aren’t booing him. They’re saying ‘Pinnnneeeeellla’.” She has never lived that down.
