My point exactly. Lance corporal is only a Marine Corps rank. There is no such thing as a Lance Corporal in the U.S. Army.
congratulations to all the heavy hitters around here.
Slugging percentage is skying in September....just in time for the World Serious in November.
Hoooo....ahhhhh!
yo!
you stand vindicated, sir!
Okay fact checkers, we need to make sure this get to our fact spreaders--FOX News to start.
They need the original story
The defense story
The WHOOPS! story.
Now, please refresh my memory--did Dan "The Eye Lies" Rather mention this gentleman and present him as a SEAL?
Hell, that could mean anything from he scrubbed floors, cleaned toilets, or cooked food.
No it was in an AP story
Thanks, but I just put it out there, and lots of freepers picked at the story and came up with the facts. It's truly a team effort!
Hello,
...and the times, they are a-changin...
Glad to be here, MOgirl
IIRC, a day or so ago they mentioned you by name when the "controversy" over the fake SEAL heated up in the LSM
kudos to all who punctured this bit of media BS
AP busted - again!! Good job.
The MSM outlets have what, a dozen or so gen-x worker bee researchers on duty, at most? How can they compete in a battle for facts with FR, which has thousands of "consultants" putting their minds together all the time? It's almost unfair.
"almost" unfair?
LOL!
actually, my definition of "fair" is: My side wins with no casualties, their side loses with 100% casualties.
They can't compete. We're on to them.
I'll tell ya Travis, I really used to believe what I read in the papers, and saw on the TV news. Not anymore, not since I came to Free Republic. Y'all are awesome.
Amen KP!
Just spread the word, Mom. The truth is out there, and now we can find it for ourselves.
You guys are too good. Kudos to everybody here, once again.
I'm imagining this from MSM producers and editors in the future:
"So, are you dead sure of your facts on this story? Maybe I should just submit it to FreeRepublic first. After they've checked it, THEN we can go with it."
One can only hope they'll be more careful!
It sure has been enjoyable, watching the MSM and Hanoi John's campaign both imploding at the same time! I was really getting fed up with the MSM bias.
Welcome to the New Media era. MSM lies are no longer allowed to stand through even one measley news cycle!
Good going. It took a while for them to come around, though.
The press seems to feel a revived need to seek to be honest. Wonder what could have happened in, say, the past week or two to have such an impact?
Once again the lying maggots at AP get the lies kicked out of them and the truth smeared all over them by a freeper and with some help from other freepers.
Great job by one of our own real seals, Travis McGee.
What lies of the MSM will we shred and flush down next week.?
