Democrats Salute to Vets – Canadian Vets
Despite the Democrat’s obligatory “We support the troops” rhetoric, it is common knowledge that their party has little use for the U.S. military. Even so, one would think the Democrats would at least know what an American soldier looks like.
I’m afraid not.
On Michelle Malkin’s blog this morning, she has a photo pulled from the Democratic National Committee’s website for “Veterans and Military Families” where the Democrats purport to care about the welfare of U.S. troops. There is a photo of a proud looking soldier standing tall in his dress uniform with the subtitle “Get Involved” accompanying the article.
The only problem is: the soldier is a Canadian in a Canadian uniform!
Oh, well. At least there are some soldiers the Democrats appreciate.
Needless to say, the photo was removed from the DNC webisite shortly after it was pointed out by an “army” of Republicans that it was a Canadian soldier. I guess to Democrats, all soldiers look the same.
CBS News – Still “Rather” biased
Last night, marveling at how the price of a gallon of gasoline has fallen to the lowest all year, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric wondered,
“Is this an election year present from President Bush to fellow Republicans?”
This curious question was followed by a video of a “GOP: Grand Oil Party” bumper sticker lying on the dashboard of a car with CBS reporter Anthony Mason in the background snidely asserting,
“Gas started going down just as the fall campaign started heating up. Coincidence? Some drivers don’t think so.”
Crack reporter Mason then conceded,
“call the conspiracy theory crazy”, but then, “it’s spreading through Internet blogs and over the airwaves. And a recent poll found 42% of people actually believe the Bush administration has deliberately manipulated the price of gas to affect the election.”
Outstanding analysis! Does cute little Katie Couric, CBS Evening News, and 42% of Americans actually believe that Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world is still paying $79.00 a barrel for oil while the Bush administration has manipulated the price so that America is only paying $59.00 a barrel? That the United States is the only country in the world that is paying less for a gallon of gas than it did last year… or last March, or last month?
I’m sure it’s just coincidental that the aforementioned 42% of Americans who believe that the Bush administration is manipulating the price of gas at the pump is near the same percentage of Americans that are registered Democrats.
