Tamron Hall Decries Use Of Military As Pawns . . . . While Standing In Front Of Military Jet
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

In an MSNBC "Lean Forward" promo aired on today's Morning Joe, Tamron Hall says she's been upset and saddened by the use of patriotism and military families as political pawns.

So where did Hall station herself for purposes of the spot? Why, in front of a military jet [an A-4 Skyhawk]! As she so often does during her on-air appearances, Hall also spoke of her background as member of a military family. Speaking of using the military as a pawn, have you ever heard Hall or any of her MSNBC cohorts criticize President Obama for staging shots like the one seen below?

View the video here.

Obama can use the military as a prop, but he’s losing popularity with the troops. My son-in-law is set to deploy to Afghanistan, for who knows what reason, and the cut back in combat pay has quite a few in the military very upset.

If the military vote is counted in November, and I doubt it will be, Obama will not fare well.

Looks like she’s a stand-in for “The Adventures of Angry Black Woman”...

And all this time I thought “Lean Forward” was the slogan of the LOGO Network.

Just like a Liberal. The A-4 was retired from service in the 1990s.

Hm. She is not bad looking.

Pity.

As I read somewhere: “Beauty without brains is a masterpiece on a cocktail napkin.”

Very likely another brain-dead liberal who would throw her panties on-stage for the Dear Leader.

Remember when Obama made them move an F-22 from behind his Podium and replace it with an F-15?

It would have looked silly having him stand in front of a Plane that he stopped production of while touting his support of the Military.

2003 by the United States. Still flown by Israel, Argentina, Brazil and Singapore.

Sadly it was not a commissioned, operational war bird, as I would pay to see the pilot light the afterburners and “accidentally” suck her into an engine.
