One sentence excerpts are a waste of my time and JimRob's bandwidth. You can excerpt up to 300 words as I understand it.

The MSM are not only scummy rats, they are total morons. They never bother to check the facts.

Hello,

If you go to the moveon link: https://political.moveon.org/donate/thanksgiving.html

You will see that the soldier is mysteriously wearing pants in the photo, but in the moveon video that you can see by clicking on the photo, he is wearing shorts.

Also, in the opinion journal article he is wearing shorts at this link:
http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110007612

If you enlarge the moveon photo it looked to me like he was wearing one big pant leg covering both his legs.


Someone on a financial web site pointed this out to me.

Yep, it was definitely photoshopped from the fellow right next to him. Even the "random" camo patterns are the same.
