A new teaser video released this afternoon shows a slew of celebrities and activists rallying in support of military whistleblower Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, whose trial for leaking 700,000 secret documents to WikiLeaks began today.
“I am Bradley Manning” is the tagline of the PSA created by the eponymous group and featuring supportive celebrities like filmmaker Oliver Stone; actors Russell Brand, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Wallace Shawn; musicians Tom Morello and Moby; and journalists Phil Donahue, Matt Taibbi, and Chris Hedges.
Each speaker takes their turn declaring that they or we “are all Bradley Manning,” imploring viewers to put themselves in a similar situation to Manning’s. “What would you do,” they ask, if you were faced with the decision to leak non-life-threatening information that evidenced “war crimes” and “awful things” and deserved to be in the public domain?
“It’s very hard for a lower-level soldier to turn on his officers and saw there was a war crime here,” filmmaker Stone lamented.
Although the documents he leaked have repeatedly been identified — including by government officials — as having no life-threatening effects and causing minimal to no national security harm, Manning faces a potential life in prison for, among other charges, the capital offense of “aiding and abetting the enemy.”
“It’s an absurd charge,” fellow whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg says in the “I am Bradley Manning” video. Ellsberg famously leaked the so-called “Pentagon Papers” in 1971, helping shine a light on the mismanagement behind the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War.
“I was Bradley Manning,” the former whistleblower says, clearly acting as the centerpiece of the video.
Watch below, via I am Bradley Manning:
The liberals in this country are like the liberals in New York city where I unfortunately lived and grew up until I got smart and moved out last year: They constantly constantly constantly vote for the reps who will most screw them over, and when they get screwed over what do they do? They complain and complain and complain and complain. And when election day comes up again what do they do? They vote for the rep who will most screw them over and it starts all over again..They complain and complain and complain. That’s how Bloomberg got to do 3 terms and why a perv like Anthony Weiner is incredibly top of the polls for next Mayor. Liberals are insane, there is no other explanation for them other than that. They like self-destruction and enjoy destroying everyone else in the process.

Okay, so they are all admitting to being America-hating, pimply-faced faggots. Nice.
BTW, I have heard of only 3 of these morons, Moby, Donahue, and Stone. I might be able to pick Stone out of a line-up, Donahue, for sure because I have seen photos of the myopic moron in recent years. I know that Moby is a singer, but I can’t tell you what he sings or what he looks like.
By immediately getting DADT overturned so more homosexuals will join the military because homosexuals going into a snit because they have to take orders works out *sooo* well doesn’t it.

Well, yeah, it works out very, very well for those whose plan is to destroy the military.

Wow - they admit to being ugly little faggots!
I guess the question then is what “war crimes” were exposed by Manning? Oh... None? How about how many died because of his leaks?
