Troop Support for Obama in Iraq was Staged

Now, this has occurred before with Bill Clinton, and it quite possibly could have been the same with Bush - the issue is how the MSM spins this and how it will report one way if you are affiliated with one party versus the other way when you have the “scarlet” R next to your name.

From Flopping Aces:

“Cheered wildly by U.S. troops,” begins Jennifer Democratic Operative Loven’s AP report on Obama’s surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday.

Quite a contrast to the silent treatment Marines gave Obama at his Camp LeJeune speech in late February. Just how did Obama manage to fix that little problem?

According to a sergeant in Iraq :

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. [Via Macsmind.]

As supporting evidence for the digital-cameras part of the story, the sergeant (or Mac, can’t tell which), suggests that the identical cameras can be verified in the AP photos. Looks right:

Now Compare that to a story on Bush:

FLASHBACK: How the press treated the merest impression of a staged troop response under President Bush, even when there was no actual manipulation

Remember this headline from 2005:

Bush Teleconference With Soldiers Staged

It dominated the headlines and the television news-analysis for days, and the fabricated scandal was utterly dishonest. The so-called “staging” involved no manipulation whatsoever. A group of soldiers who were scheduled for a televised chat with President Bush were “caught on tape” discussing ahead of time who would answer questions on what subjects. There was NO discussion of WHAT should be said.

must have been a short, “support” line.

The MSM and DNC have been engaging in a conspiratorial silent coup for the past several election cycles.

They have colluded on news stories dating back to the leak of the Abu Ghraib photos and the forged National Guard memos. They spun a tale of a “culture of corruption” based on two homosexuals in the GOP (they claimed that the GOP knew and did nothing whereas both the DNC and the media knew more EARLIER and sat on it until late in the election cycle and circulated false rumors of child molestation).

Even Tom Brokaw called this last election a “velvet revolution”.

This is America under tyranny.
