As my 11th grade History teacher said countless times - Your fact-to-assertion ratio is lacking.

Motorboat Cruiser · 05-26-2005, 02:10 PM

Yeah, I would like an assertion like that backed up as well. I won't hold my breath though because I don't think it can be.

Nephythys · 05-26-2005, 02:15 PM

fine-
I'll get you some links. But thank you for casting aspersions on me personally when I said it was not anyone here-but to suit you, since you think it is not so....I will find them.

Isn't it sad to find out that people who you consider of like mind would do such a thing?

Patience- the story and links are old, but you will have them.

As Tillman was a Phoenix Cardinal, I heard many interviews here with people who derided him as stupid for putting his love of country above a million dollar NFL contract for an "unjust war". I don't know how wide spread it was, but there were certainly quite a few people I heard that said he "got what he deserved" for being that stupid.

Now, can you find a nutjob in any area of the political spectrum that will say anything? Of course. But these things were being said, and it was.....sickening and sad to listen to it. I would typically listen so that I could hear the interviewer rip the person to shreds.

Hello! Methinks you may be mis-construing my (our) words a bit ... I can not believe anybody would delight in the death of a soldier -- any soldier.

It is horrid isn't it-

First Link

More to come I am sure-

Apologies for being sensitive- but I do not spend my time making things up to cause uproar- I stated a fact, not a false assertion. It WAS libs who celebrated his death- and showed callousness and heartlessness. It is a shame when anyone lacks compassion for someone just because they do not approve of the war.

Ghoulish Delight · 05-26-2005, 02:47 PM

Not to be glib, but are you seriously equating random message board posts with an effort by high ranking military officials and possibly elected officials to tell blatant lies?

Nephythys · 05-26-2005, 02:53 PM

Not in the least- I am responding on an offhand way to the comment of this being the libs fault- it just reminded me of how ghastly certain liberals behaved after his death- I find the notion of a cover up as reprehensible, just as you do-

And it is not just random board posts-
Google search- Ted Rall, notorious liberal.....
Rall Links

They had to pull his stuff- he was so vile. Not someone I would want speaking for me, if I was a lib....

I did not mean to derail- just to respond to the comment (though again, my remarks are not aimed at anyone here)- and the issue has taken on a life of it's own.

Although- I guess while I would not equate- I find BOTH actions to be those of low life gutter rats. Call it as I see it.

Ghoulish Delight · 05-26-2005, 02:56 PM

Yes, but I'm far more disturbed by low life gutter rats that make their way high in the military chain of command or political world than I am about loudmouths that spout off online, no matter how high profile they are. All someone needs to do it online is a keyboard and an opinion. The people in command have people and a system around them that's complicit in getting them there and supporting their actions.
