Fake Soldiers Used In RNC Video

[PostmodernProphet]

They tried to pass it off as original and true.

didn't we cover this once already?....it is illegal to use governmental employees (which would include the military) for campaign purposes....they would have been breaking the law if they DIDN'T use actors....

These RNC jerks never cease to amaze me!!!!!!! If you can't tell the truth, just fake it. Americans are too stupid to know the difference is their only claim to fame!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a video that was supposed to elicit soaring patriotism and real emotions about the Pledge of Allegiance. But to do that, it used fake soldiers and a staged military funeral instead of the real thing.

On Tuesday night, 15-year-old Victoria Blackstone, a sophomore at the St. Agnes School in St. Paul, led the crowd at the Xcel Energy Center in the Pledge of Allegiance. The audience heard her 434-word essay, “Pledging myself to the Flag of the United States of America,” an essay she’d entered it in the “Wave the Stars & Stripes” essay contest and won. The RNC turned that essay into a three and a half minute video, a visually stirring montage rolling over Victoria’s words about sharing the Pledge with Americans who have stood at important moments in history.

There’s the Continental Congress…A real WWII vet…Photos of workers at Ground Zero. A close-up of a folded flag presented to a grieving widow at a military funeral… profiles of soldiers swelling with pride in slo-motion.

But CBS News found that the footage of the ‘funeral’ and soldiers is what is called ‘stock’ footage. The soldiers were actors and the funeral scene was from a one-day film shoot, produced in June. No real soldiers were used during production...............

And the bullshit just flows and flows!!!!!!!!! Is anyone ready to give the bullshit some structure and substance?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Maybe the Republicon Diarreah is just what you want?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Enjoy, bulimics and anorexics!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed it does...you would think CBS would have learned their lesson about that with that false letter in 04..guess not.

The wacko libs are lining up....behind you, but they have no substance either.

OMG! The OP is ridiculous and this whole thing is getting absurd. It sounds like you are getting more and more desperate by the moment pb. Most of your threads and attacks are relatively well thought out but this one is ridiculous.

didn't we cover this once already?....it is illegal to use governmental employees (which would include the military) for campaign purposes....they would have been breaking the law if they DIDN'T use actors....

Maybe that is why pb seems so upset with the RNC? They used actors and he'd hoped to catch them breaking the law so that the left would have a legitimate accusation against McCain/Palin.

Why is this topic in "conspiracy theories?"
If Michelle Malkin had posted this exact same topic, but substituted DNC for RNC, it would be posted immediately by Stephanie or RSR. Followed by a dozen breathless condemnations by the remainder of you yokels.

[actsnoblemartin]

dont look at me, i didnt put it here, the mods did. I suggest if you have an issue with them, you send them a pm. They dont like public criticism when a pm is a lot more polite and less hostile then bitching, i mean suggesting they were not right here

You shallow minded and unobservant jerks never cease to amaze me. Our soldiers have been exploited many times throughout history for political purposes. Just in the last few years at least thousands of times by the current CIC and his minions.

Carry on, dumbasses. The American people are not really that stupid.

Here's two for you, cowgirl. How about my older brother that died of throat cancer at age 54 that could only be attributed to his exposure to Agent Orange in Viet Nam? How about my younger brother that died as a result of his refusal to cooperate with an unjust society in a traffic accident at age 52 and the day before he would have been 53?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Neither ever recieved a fuckin' dime or a moments consideration post their discharges from their respective military obligations. Disgusting would be an understatement.
