You didn't need a magnifying glass...the story was everywhere, and you know it. I couldn't go five minutes without hearing a reference to Lynch, Warrior Princess. Here's a link to Fox's initial reporting on the matter, as the lie began:
FNC report on Lynch's capture and rescue, the "Lynch Lie"
This story, or versions of it were everywhere, on all channels, and on the front pages of every major newspaper in this nation. It came flying out of every TV screen, every radio, and off every front page like a big ol' CommieLib Custard Lie Pie, and it hit us all in the face. But you know that already, because you saw it.
But the lie didn't stop there. Here's the Guardian dispelling the myth that the rescuers had to shoot their way into the hospital where Lynch was being held and brutalized. Yeah, it's The Guardian, which is left of Stalin, but as yet, no one in the Pentagon or anywhere else that I'm aware of has, stepped forward to deny what's in this report:
Guardian on the rescue that wasn't
Here's Miller's story, which didn't come out until weeks later, after the American Sheeple had lost interest in what happened that night:
Maybe you missed all this, but the story of Lynch, Warrior Princess came up again in July, and was shown to be a lie as the Army's official report on that night came out...first from World Net Daily...
Finally, Mona Cheren says it so much better than I ever could...

The truth is not only out there, it's in your face! Last April and May you couldn't take a walk down the street without stumbling over yet another version of the Lynch Lie. Then in June, as details began to seep out from the as-yet-unreleased Army official report, the media began to mumble a bit more, not gloating as they had been previously. Then, after the report was issued, all mention of Lynch's Last Stand conveniently stopped, and the focus shifted to the feel-good story of her homecoming, and the movie and book deals.
If you insist on saying you were unaware of the Lynch Lie, that she was made into Lynch, Warrior Princess, then you are either not telling the truth, or you are in serious, heap-big denial. If you insist that there's some Vast, Right-Wing, Chauvanist Conspiracy out there trying to "bash", "trash", "destruct", or do whatever to Lynch because we "cavemen" don't want women in the service, you're in serious, mega, heap-big denial. Take off the emotional blinders covering your eyes on the issue of women in the military and see the facts: no one that I've read on FReep is besmirching Lynch for doing her duty, no one is unhappy that she's home, and no one that I've heard from says women shouldn't be in the military. OTOH, a lot of us have a huge problem with the Lie...we were lied to by someone in the Pentagon (DACOWITS, I'm looking in your direction), and then force fed the lie until it became the truth.
"I am just one who supports the troops and was horrified at the level of trash talking here aimed at women in the military in general, and Jessica Lynch in particular when this started."
There you go again, implying I don't "support the troops" because I'm critical of the Lie. Of course I "support the troops"...I used to be one! I have dear friends over there as we speak. But to blindly accept whatever pablum, whatever load of unadulterated BS the Pentagon feeds us just because it comes from the military is not supporting the troops, it's being a stool pigeon. In the case of the Lynch Lie, it's potentially harmful to future generations of troops, as it could help the PC feminazis finally get what they want...women in combat roles. Take the red pill, wake up, reject the Matrix. Just because a Pubbie's in the White Hse doesn't mean all government employees are suddenly upstanding, truthful Boy Scouts, despite what many Kool-Aid drinkers here think. I'm quite sure there are some on FReep that don't want women to serve in the military in any capacity...I've not seen any of them, but I'm sure they're there. But don't equate those of us who are trying to wake people up to The Lie to the "keep 'em barefoot and pregnant" crowd. As for not knowing who DACOWITS are/is...they're one of the biggest threats to the military and readiness that exists today, and one of the reasons Klinton's Army was the joke it was.
I could go on, but I believe I've made my point over and over again. The way you can tell you've won in a debate against a liberal is when, faced with absolute, immutable evidence and facts, the person folds their arms, drops their head, and starts repeating "No! You're wrong! You're just wrong! I'm not listening to you because you're wrong!" Please don't go there, because I don't think you're a liberal...but your steadfast denial of the truth of this matter is pretty dang close to it.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
No - I said it is a matter of perspective. I said I didn't see the left behaving near as badly as the anti-Jessica contingent HERE ON FR. Period. That is what I think.... The media paraded her, I didn't deny that, I denied HOW BIG of a story the LIE portion, the overstatement of her actions, really was. Their media frenzy and glorification of her was hardly as much of a sin as FReepers calling her a little girl, a liar, an attention whore and worse. That is my opinion.
