Blackfive already has a good start on this and Protein Wisdom is all over it as well, but any help Freepers can give in outing this wannabe would be much appreciated.
Thanks. Some nice work on this thread an the linked blogs...
OWNED!!
Good job Doc. Smoked this dupe out with a quickness.
HA!!!! Hope the judge is a FReeper - THAT would be too sweet.
"Another Winter Soldier. And he's being believed, just like JF'nK.
The Left is now figuring that, if someone is getting "swiftboated",
they must be the real thing."
Wrong on allowing hanoi kerry to once again attack our troops
"Yes, indeed- John Kerry thinks it's 1971 all over again. Yesterday, on "Face the Nation"
John Kerry once again slams American troops- Check it out-
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."
Here is the transcript for "Face the Nation"-

You will find this statement at the bottom of page 4 and the top of page 5.
Good evening.
Does anyone know what the flash is supposed to be?
How can these people not know that they will be exposed?

The video(s) keep getting posted, and then removed. Then they reappear. The links in post 109 were working a little while ago, but now they're down again. That site has/had the video in three segments.
I currently have a window open with the video posted at http://www.peacefilms.org . But I opened that window back when it was still working. It's down now. It's the whole video, in one piece.
I wish I knew how to save a flash video.
The video is of a fake Army Ranger, Jessie MacBeth, telling about the massacre he participated in, in Falluhjah. He's not the least bit convincing. He looks like a boy, and he stutters something fierce. He claims the order to massacre innocent Iraqi civilians came from high up the chain of command.
Bloggers from all over the Internet have torn this video apart. MacBeth is a war protester, with a criminal record. The day after the "massacre" in Falluhjah, he was in the States, prostesting against the war. During the "massacre," the unit he claims to be with was at Ft. Benning, GA.
At the end of the 2nd video, he uses the pronoun "us" when referring to Iraqis. "It's like mass genocide, on us."
In one of the videos, he says that he modeled himself on the Viet Nam vets. Eddie Murphy in Trading Places comes to mind.
Iraq Veterans Against the War had a link to the video. They've disabled that link, and are now claiming they knew nothing about the video, or Jessie MacBeth. But I saw his profile on their website (can't find the link now.) He's an active member there, and his profile was still posted on their site as of a couple hours ago. I'd have saved the link if I'd known then that they are now denying knowledge of him.
If you google his name, you might come up with an active site posting the video. Don't forget to check google news. Sometimes he spells his name Jessie, and sometimes Jesse. I think he also uses a variation on his last name, MacBeth, or McBeth.

ANOTHER FAKE SOLDIER TALE DEBUNKED

Meet "Jessie MacBeth." He's the latest cause celebre of the anti-war Left -- a "former Army Ranger and Iraq war veteran" who accuses his fellow troops of committing a litany of atrocities against innocent civilians. Anti-Vietnam War veteran John Kerry and the Winter Soldiers cast a long shadow.

And the Democrat presidental nominee in 2036 (if he can find an heiress)
Do you know how to save a flash video?
I have a browser window open with the flash video. I can view it all I want. But it's been removed from the site, so if I refresh the page, it will disappear.
Sorry, haven't a clue. BTW I found this interesting tidbit on DU of all places. It seems that this "person's" real name was originally Al-Zaid - Irish I think.
If anyone has the guts here it is http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1264056
from a blog I'm looking at:
Little Green Football commentators have discerned thru birth records that this fellows birthname is Al Zaid. Looks like another patriotic Muslim.
