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.

Mr. Schumer will say anything to try to bring about Americas 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.

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?
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.
He is a POS...
“Traitor,” “liar,” “coward,” are too good for him. There is something so reptilian and utterly repulsive about him that is not quite human.
Silence from the New York Times ... “All the News That’s Fit to Print”
All the News That’s Fit to Wrap Fish In.
He fires for effect just to get attention — like a crying baby in a crib...
That would be the “ENEMY WITHIN” Media.

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