I know this is an old story but no one had posted it on FR. I hope it is still relevant to shed some light on a major Salon smear campaign. The picture below is from the article.

Chinook with a round nose?

Be sure to zoom in on the picture so you can see all the funny stuff...like the rectangular "auras" around the helicopters and the Red sash that is in front of the podium plus the wacky shadows and lighting. I'm thinking if this picture were Black & White, it might even qualify for the Weekly World News!

Make sure you are wearing your tinfoil hat

Looks like Salon is trying to smear the Prez again, this time trying to blame him for a forest fire...

Chinook with a round nose?

They're just being racists again.

Everyone knows that Chinooks have flat noses, and sloping low foreheads.

[Conspiracy Guy]

GWB is to blame for the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, bathtub rings, and the Civil War. He is also the reason I smoke.

WHat preposterous slime. Who set all the fires that burned while Clinton was still in office?

Chinook with a round nose?

I doubt that an RV salesman could discriminate a CH-47 from a Hughes 300.

[glock rocks]

in the pic they look like 5 jet rangers.

[Ronin]

The helos in that pic are NOT Chinooks.

[Old Sarge]

Give this man a nice cold beer for getting it right - tho' those could also be OH-58 Kiowa's; scout helos, same aircraft, but green.

How many pennies and bits of pocket lint can buy me a thousand shares in Salon this week?

[sonsofliberty2000]

[TADSLOS]

LOL! That's a formation of OH-58A scout aircraft (Bell 205) - No longer in the Army inventory, but widely available and in service with many agencies and civilian operators. You can fit one inside a Chinook.

Now the loggers are "after our old-growth again," Malone said. "It's hard not to be skeptical of a forest plan that bypasses environmental review. Why do we have to cut these trees down so fast, without even considering the facts? Didn't we just rush into the Iraq war like that?"

Well, I see this guy made the rounds of the Sisters whackjob community. Had he bothered to find some old-timers (like, who lived there 20 years ago, when the population was static at about 450 people), he'd have gotten a different story. The 600 new people tend to be higly granola-esque.

Malone's an ass. That area had been steadily logged for decades, prior to the 1976 forest plan. He probably enjoys riding his bike on all of the old logging roads that criss-cross the woods in that area -- they're literally everywhere. And he probably really enjoys riding along the old Brooks-Scanlon rail bed that was used to move logs out of the forest over to the mills in places like Detroit....

He's also probably one of the people who lobbied against the removal of the large stands of beetle-killed trees that made the B&B fire so hard to put out.....

We know what evil lurks in the hearts of men (and women who feed on liberal hate / subscribe to the DNC talking points).

Bill Phil Donahue?

Quite true -- I have Chinook ancestors. Sign of nobility to strap a board to the baby's head, and all that.

As for me, I guess somebody musta stuck my head in a box when I was little....
