Schumer Floor Speech Slandering U.S. Troops Ignored by Old Media

Bloggers have caught a politician saying one thing in a speech, while carrying a very different rendering of a critical passage at a supposed "transcript" of that speech.

The difference is significant.

The transcript whitewashes a slander on the performance of US troops in Iraq delivered by a United States senator.

Specifically, New York's Charles Schumer gave a made a speech on the floor of the Senate last week ascribing the turnaround in the Anbar province in Iraq to the locals, and discrediting the notion that American troops could have had anything to do with it.

[george76]

Mr. Schumer will say anything to try to bring about America’s defeat in Iraq and in the war on terror in general. For the Senator is also a traitor.

But, it turns out, Chuck Schumer is not only a liar and a traitor, he is a coward as well.

[george76]

This is what Schumer said:

And let me be clear. The violence in Anbar has gone down in spite of the Surge, not because of the Surge.

The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from Al Qaeda said to these tribes, “We have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves.”

Newspeak, and the memory hole...

Orwell was right, you know?

[TLI]

FROM WHAT HE SAID... (li`l chucky)
The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from Al Qaeda said to these tribes, "We have to fight Al Qaeda ourselves."

TO WHAT THEY WROTE...
The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, "We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves."

Those little devils…

[george76]

And, this is the remake of the same speech on his website:

And let me be clear: the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge.

The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, “We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves.”

Yep, the old media protected their putz-head.

[The Mayor]

He is a POS...

[BusterBear]

“Traitor,” “liar,” “coward,” are too good for him. There is something so reptilian and utterly repulsive about him that is not quite human.

[george76]

Silence from the New York Times ... “All the News That’s Fit to Print”

[Long Island Pete]

All the News That’s Fit to Wrap Fish In.

[detch]

Schumer gets overshadowed by Hillary so much that it’s not surprising no one pays any attention to him.

He fires for effect just to get attention — like a crying baby in a crib...

[LibLieSlayer]

That would be the “ENEMY WITHIN” Media.

[USNBandit]

Pretty standard for Congress. At the end of everything they say on the floor they say some catch phrase about reserving the right to revise and extend their remarks.

[The South Texan]

Why should we be surprised? The media agrees with Schumer. Why would they dare challenge him?

Chuck Schumer is a tipical member of the “Social Democratic Party” in Washington DC. They have been trying to hand control of the country over to the “One World Government” for ever. Nothing will change untill we the people have had enough, then things will change for the better.

Notwithstanding, despite, in spite of imply that something is true even though there are obstacles or opposing conditions. The three expressions may be used practically interchangeably. Notwithstanding suggests, however, a hindrance of some kind: Notwithstanding the long delay, I shall still go. Despite indicates that there is an active opposition: Despite procrastination and disorganization, they finished the project. In spite of implies meeting strong opposing forces or circumstances that must be taken into account: She succeeded in spite of many discouragements.

Thanks.

Chucky saying that there was no one else there but the war lords .

He is a coward and very wrong.

and the media is covering up for the guilty.

[Wil H]

He is a POS...

I wrote him a particularly nasty email and finished it with " If I ever saw you on fire I wouldn't waste the p#ss to put you out."

[RoseofTexas]

Don’t you just HATE THEM...DESPISE THEM!! They have just declared WAR on our Military and it’s time for our brave soldiers to let loose on them!! I HATE THE RATS!!

[catroina54]

their days are numbered,
and if anything happens on the home front,that length of days is halved.

[Grampa Dave]

Schumer and these elite liberal hatriotics had better pray that Iraq doesn't become a rich and free standing nation. A rich and free Iraq might hire a lot of mercs to capture and bring these war criminals to trial in Iraq for War Crimes against innocent Iraqis.

Schumer must be getting paid big time by the Islamofascist to say the things he says.

[george76]

Thanks.

Nice work with the chuck e cheese.

[potlatch]

Or “Chuck THE Cheese”, lol.

[weegee]

The press is more concered with what goes on in rest rooms than on the floor of the Senate.

[G8 Diplomat]

Schmuckie is a traitor who demoralizes our troops and should be forced from office.

[gunner03]

Traitor,” “liar,” “coward,” are too good for him. There is something so reptilian and utterly repulsive about him that is not quite human.
All you say is true, plus more that can’t be said. My biggest regret is that dueling was outlawed.

[Yardstick]

The transcript probably records the speech as written versus as Schumer spoke it. Most likely he went off-script for a second and accidentally said what he really thinks, hence the difference.

[PGalt]

BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!

[george76]

This was written on his website. Note the red box.

It was saved by us good guys.

Chuckie changed the written stuff later. This was not a slip of his tongue nor a verbal modification of his written, prepared text.

Chuck read what he wrote :

Punk/coward/elitist/traitor/POS alert.

[BOBTHENAILER]

You nailed the dirty bastard............

[george76]

[george76]

Thanks.

[Yardstick]

What’s written in the red box isn’t what he said. The written version has “...the lack of protection for these tribes”, which is fairly passive. In the spoken version Schumer explicitly calls out the troops as having failed to protect the Sunnis.

[george76]

thanks
