Bush Losing Support Among Supporters (I Have Exposed the LAZINESS of CBS News!)
See B.S. News ^ | 09/070/06 | "journalist" byron "my reporting is the" pitts

At the Kettle Diner in Jacksonville, N.C., it's faith, family and the Corps. Jacksonville is home to Camp Lejuene, the largest Marine Corps base on the East Coast...Even some lifelong conservatives aren't hearing the president's message anymore.

"I've turned him off," said retired Marine Col. Jim Van Riper. "I've tuned him out."

Van Riper is a Christian, card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association who voted for President Bush twice. But as more Marines have died, his confidence in the Bush administration has died as well.

According to his interview aired today, he will be voting straight Dem. this year! Are they the best in Pinehurst this year? Is their Capitol leadership the best this year? Granted the Pubbies haven;t shown much spine, but "Speaker Pelosi"? Good Grief!

Ask him these questions if you talk to him before the election this year.

Col Van Riper's comments have been cherry picked by the news service.

Old enough to know better.

It's exactly like the propaganda by Hizzbolah and the Al-Jazera...showing the same woman crying at every single supposed bomb site.

Or gathering the western press and only letting them take pictures of ambulances lined up one by one taking off with sirens blaring.

Or pulling dead children out of morgues with rigormortis and changing their clothes and holding them up at every bombed building.

The left wing a-holes that should be shot for treason in this country keep trotting out the same whiners for the cameras.

The DNC and left wing American haters are exactly like the terrorists. And they too need to be defeated and not just at the polls...militarily.

Yes, I said it. They should be shot just like all of our enemies.

In the story before the Jacksonville piece the words "uncover CIA agent" came out of Couric's mouth in describing Valerie Plame's role at the CIA. You know that these newscasts are carefully edited so in turn you know that CBS is crafting propaganda in the form of news. I only watched because Rush was on - it will be the last time.

That general, Paul Van Riper...

Yes, this is the TWIN BROTHER of the whiner lazy "journalist" byron pitts put on his report.

I especially loved the shots of byron looking earnestly into the colonel's eyes.

It appears, truly, that there are two Van Ripers: they're twin brothers. One a general, one a colonel.

They're twin brothers...the See B.S. report by Byron "My reporting is the" Pitts references the general.

Who will have this in the news first, Howie Kurtz or Matt Drudge? Dinosaur or The New Media?

Free Republic. ;-)

Yeah, I cut and pasted that whole comment from another thread that I prepared it for. I thought the comment I made at the end about him being (or not being) a Republican was still valid and I was too lazy to redo the HTML coding and rewrite the first part. You caught me.

The MSM has a rolodex with "I am a life-long Republican but will vote democrat in the next election" category. The agenda driven reporters like Pitts just trade names with each other.
