Homeschooling terrorists. Great.
Minor league reporting?
Yep, if the guy won't give his real name...we can find it.
Oh, please!!! If he came by my house, where we're Christians homeschooling seven children, the story would be about how we're a Threat To The American Way Of Life because our children are being "indoctrinated" in our "exclusive" religious beliefs, instead of learning to be "inclusive" and "nonjudgmental" in the public schools. (/rant)
Great work, Travis McGee! FReeper-Vets are #1!
BUMP! Good work, my FRiend!
Have you started your next book?
It's falling in your lap.
Yes, this reporter "trusts" him only because he hates Bush. Want to bet that this reporter does not "trust" 250+ Swift Boat Vets? Crappy reporting. If this was pulled in journalism school, the student would get an "F".
You misunderstand. I would like to think that a real Seal would kick my a ss. I am willing stake an a sskicking to prove a point, not just to kick someone's as s. The fact that I'd get to is just a happy by-product.
sad - gives homeschooling a bad name.
It's kinda funny how the reporter refers to Travis McGee like that his real name, rather than a fairly well-known literary character.
Way to go Travis McGee!! Bump to ya!
hey, if Minor FEELS that he is a NICE person, who are you FReepers to challenge him ... he didn't need no stinkin' verifying
(But it was under another name, and I won't tell you what it was.)
You believe me, don't you?
Hey, maybe now the AP will quote me as an expert on NASA issues? They'll just take my word for it about my moon landings, without checking.
What a load of horse crap. This fake SEAL could clear up the situation with a couple of sentences. When did he go through training? What teams were he assigned to? When and where was he in Viet Nam "for five years total?" What are the names of some of his team mates who will certainly remember this SEAL who was in Viet Nam for five years?
This is such a steaming load of bull crap. Of course, the AP just takes this liar's word for it, because he was slamming Bush.
Let me see if I have this straight. The AP finds this one guy, ONLY this one guy who says Bush was a playboy. His claim to fame is that he's a Viet Nam Navy Seal so that gives him some credibility. Okay? Right so far?
BUT
It turns out one of us bloggers checked up on this guy, and guess what, he never was a Navy Seal. Was he even in the Navy?
What the Hel**** is going on in here? Last week you have AP erroneously reporting "booing" at a Bush Wisconsin rally.

He is a FAKE SEAL for sure, no question. If he was real he would want show proof. It is just mind boggling a SEAL would spent 5 years in VN. AND he says he used the word SEAL and not a UDT? The AP sure is looking the other way with this democrat.
Pulleeeeeze! 'Press the matter' (?) ie asking him what his name was; when he was enlisted?
OMG. . .these people are beyond hopeless; their are simply and determinedly, blinded to the 'morally superior' truth of the matter.
Truth is where they get cut off at the knees. And they don't care; it it's worth a poisoning a few minds. . .then it's worth doing just that.
It should be very easy to check for a name change. Plenty of software available to run a background check and it's fairly inexpensive.
