I'm a politics junkie, and I've never heard of this guy. He may be like Jerry Lewis, wildly popular in France, but I think the MSM heard of him and never pushed him. I could be wrong...but I've not heard of him.

It makes my blood boil to read this.

You are spot on when you opine that the news "professionals" were too busy trying to paint a lousy picture to do even the most basic research.

You would think that making slanderous statements like these would require at least basic collaboration from other verifiable sources, but...no.

If I were a Marine or ex-Marine, I would beat the tar out of this guy if I ever met him face to face for the slander he has perpetrated on his (no longer) fellow Marines.

Shunning would be best, but this guy is too far gone to be affected by shunning.

Good morning.
"Frank Supports U.S. Marine's Efforts to Alert the Public, 8-12-5"

This slimy DemocRAT will be defeated because of his association with the traitor. There is some justice in the world.

Dan Rather has got to be involved in all this somehow.

He may have received a medical discharge for PST.

However, there should be some legal way to end his PST ravings.

I'm sure the DNC has already called him for job opportunities. I assume Michael Moore already has him cast for his latest hit piece.

No kidding. Kudos to the embedded Dispatch and WSJ reporters for telling the truth, and especially to the Dispatch for putting out this story. There are a lot of media who would have just kept quiet and let this scumbag's stories ride

The Post Dispatch is a left wing propaganda rag. It is the only newspaper in town, and this year I finally cancelled my subscription after 25 years of their crap. Giving them kudo's for finally printing a story after watching the pos traitor spread his lies for over a year isn't anything I'm going to do. Something must have forced them to do this. Probably afraid that some other publication would point out that they had the truth and sat on it, since they had an embedded reporter.

In the interview with the Post-Dispatch, Massey said he never personally had shot a child.

"I meant that's what my unit did," he said.

This son of a bitch had better pray that nobody from his unit catches up with him. I can't see members of Massey's former unit having a sense of humor about this.

NOTORIeTY is the more accurate term here, not celebrity.

This pretty much explains everything... The press creating the news again:

Q: Tell me about the story of the civilian deaths that is recounted in the Sacramento Bee article.

A: I had actually forgotten about this. I had it repressed in my mind. I am writing a book. A French journalist is helping me with the structure of it. She drove down here after the story in The Mountaineer. She investigated and found out it was true. ...

The paper's editor resigned yesterday, so maybe the reporter couldn't get the story out till now. There's been a few people informing me that the paper is a leftist rag, so maybe some things are changing for the better now. I hope so. This idiot's lies should not stand.

Why would Massey trash his military career? Some lefty told him he could strike it rich like Kerry did. So this bozo gets used by the lefties and waits,,,,and waits,,,,and is still waiting for his CD sales to take off. Evidently the lefties didn't tell Massey that marrying gazillionairesses is the main part of the formula to riches. The idiot is still pushing his CD, price has been slashed. Lol
