Supporting our troops? Or is this simply supporting the GOP? If this "new" group was truly interested in supporting the troops they would push for better medical care, testing and benefits here at home for returning troops. We should be ashamed that our administration refuses to fully support our wounded veterans, refuses to provide adequate testing for DU contamination and brain injury, allows the Pentagon to interfere with the diagnosis of these vets. It is a national shame that veterans returning from Iraq have to sue the United States government to get these benefits.
This is a GOP ad campaign that pushes for extended tours, less time at home between tours at the expense of the strength of our military and at the expense of the mental health of our troops. Will this same group rally around the troops suffering from PTSD, or will they do as this administration does - give them a pill and send them right back into action? Unless Ari and friends back it up with actual support for our military and demand this administration to do right by our troops.. it's all just PR.. tacky PR at the expense of our veterans. Like I said, a national shame.
"FAIR also found that NPR itself has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from nuclear companies Constellation Energy and Sempra Energy, between 1993 and 2005."
If that's not "following the money," I don't know what is. NPR and PBS should be required to state, during every pledge break in every pledge drive, exactly how much they'd have to raise from the public in order to forgo money from corporations and foundations tied to them.
Like, "Hey, you old hippies -- if you're tired of hearing about Boeing 'defending democracy' with its high-tech blowing-stuff-up, c'mon, dig deeper!"
I guess Ari doesn’t know that Germany DECLARED WAR on the USA 4 days after Pearl Harbor. The USA did NOT declare war on Germany as a reaction to the Japanese attack.
For Ari’s stupid example to work, Iraq would have had to declare war against the USA 4 days after the 9/11 al Qeada attack, and we would have then had to have refused to attack Iraq.
I don’t recall that happening.
First Bush demonstrates he knows nothing about Vietnam, now this moron ups the stupidity.
Glad to see this shadow White House communications shop has emerged to help the beleaguered president sell his unpopular war to the American people.
And after all the lies he's told, he obviously needs it.
Which <i>they?</i> This they, that they, or the other they? One thing 9/11 really did change -- until then, only paranoid psych patients used to babble about <i>they</i> like that.
"No time for politics." Yeah, right. You'd think Americans would have quit tolerating that line about a century ago.
And the scary background music -- couldn't they learn from the bad example of the 9/11 conspiracy nuts? It bugs me even when Greg Palast does it.
