Where’d she get the ‘make over’?

[PeterPrinciple]

It is appalling how little regard some of today’s journalists have for the truth.

[cripplecreek]

Following her rescue, unsubstantiated reports abounded, the media made a variety of assertions

I remember seeing Dan Abrams on MSNBC admit that they had no evidence that the military had said any of the things the media was reporting. He called them "media rumors".

[highlander_UW]

Waxman claimed the rescue was delayed so that the rescue could be filmed. Is there any evidence of that, or is he slandering the troops?

[Frankss]

Didn’t the military give her a medal of some sort?

[massgopguy]

Tillman’s brother also went on a rant about Abu Ghraib. Perhaps the Pentagon went with the legend of Pat Tillman because there is the chance that he was the one who opened fire on his own troops by accident.

[massgopguy]

Yes, the Bronze Star and I didn’t see her give it back. As I recall, the feminists jumped on her story to push women in combat.

Bump for later read

[kylaka]

If Waxman’s lips are moving, he’s slandering the troops. It’s what democrats do. Part of their genetic makeup.

[RexBeach]

I remember seeing the military announcement of her rescue. The military spokesmen involved were all excited about the story, and would not reveal to members of the press what was going on.

When it was announced that Lynch had been rescued, I thought to myself, “well, that’s nice, but what’s the big deal?”

[kabar]

You nailed it. This was a story embraced by the feminists to push their agenda and the MSM did everything they could to support it, facts aside.

[Badeye]

Yep, and its interesting she isn’t returning it.

[highlander_UW]

Lynch’s eye got big when he said it, so it appeared to be something she hadn’t heard previous to his accusation.

[theDentist]

What difference does that make?

BUMP FOR MUST LATER READ

[BurtSB]

Pat brother is a radical leftist .
He rants regularly on left wing websites .
His parents have found a home there too.
Its sad and bizarre.

[Badeye]

“What difference does that make?”

I was just remembering the ‘simple country girl serving her country’ angle the MSM came up with, and noted she looks as refined on this weeks publicity tour as Paris Hilton.

Just wondering where she got the make over, and who paid for it.

[theDentist]

Maybe she did herself. I’ve yet to meet a woman who didn’t want to get a makeover now and then... and I bet it’s especially so if that woman is going to meet with the press and/or the public at large.

[RGSpincich]

Lynch was taken by the Iraqi Army wasn’t she? Fighting them was child’s play compared to the hit and run army we are fighting now.
