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.
You either don't understand, or are just loathe to admit, that The Lie is what made Lynch what she is today. If the Pentagon hadn't lied about her non-existant heroic Last Stand, Lynch would be no more of a household name than the helicopter pilot who was shot down, captured and raped in Desert Storm. The Lie is the reason we know who Jessica Lynch is. If not for The Lie, she'd be as well known as Johnson, Piestewa, Miller, Riley, etc. No more and no less. She wouldn't have been made into a household name, with a website dedicated to her, and a song entitled "She's an American Hero" written about her. She wouldn't have gotten a book deal, or a movie of the week deal. Katie Commie wouldn't have given her a small library of feminazi books. Susan Estrich wouldn't have gloated with shining eyes on Fox News about how Lynch proves women can fight alongside men. None of it would have happened without The Lie! Not only was it a huge story, it was the only story for days after her "rescue". It was a fabrication planned in the Pentagon and executed in the mainstream CommieLib media, the American Sheeple heard it repeated enough that it became the truth, and a grave injustice was done to the real heroes of that night, Miller chiefly among them. whether you choose to accept that or not, that's the reality of what happened.
"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."
I'll grant you that some FReepers may have called her a "media whore" and other such names, but that pales in comparison to the media and the Pentagon re-writing the history of that night, in order to advance a political agenda that in a worst-case scenario could be harmful to our future national defense. "Liar"? Well, if she hadn't set the record straight in her book (which, from the advance peek we're getting at it, she apparently has), she would've been a liar. "Litle girl"? Oh, give me a break. I'm 6-3, 265 lbs, 38 years old, and still my 75 year old neighbor calls me a "little boy". God forbid someone older that her should call her a...(gasp!)...girl! You're exaggerating agin.
"That is my opinion."
Yes it is, and I would fight and die if necessary to protect your right to speak it. What I've presented to you are the facts. Whether you choose to accept them or not is your business.
