"If Murtha gets his way, my son fighting right now in Iraq won't get paid"

[The_Casual_Observer]

This is the kind of bullshit that is getting piped out to the public via media reports of "testimony" provided by plants at administration "town hall" gatherings.

2. I was listening to NPR yesterday

They were talking to Republicans in South (Pretty sure it was South) Carolina. They were parroting this kind of BS. I was shocked at the level of stupidity coming from them. They also had masterful lines about how "strong the economy" is.

It was like listening to interviews from Bizarroworld.

4. Well they are charging the wounded for food in WR...and barely getting paid now

plus the National Guard has to buy their own prosthetic limbs and families are chipping in to buy boots, toothpaste, tampons, and bullet proof vests...

And you think they are getting paid now.

STFU you stuffed shirted turd.

5. Ignorant trash morons. Bush supporters

Dumbass motherfuckers who don't deserve their citizenship. Hell, the "troops" (in all services) kept getting a pay check after worthless adulterous humpface newt gingrich shut down the government back in the 90's. "Conservative" "think" tanks have it made. The dumbass garbage that comprises the republican base will swallow anything.

Defunding of bush's war in Iraq has nothing to do with payroll, but don't waste the breath trying to explain that to someone who doesn't think we need a constitution, that would be the average conservative who gets his/her news from the likes of hannity.

6. Then what is the Pentagon doing with its $441 billion budget?

7. News flash: Lincoln freed the slaves. They'll GET paid, ma'am.

8. It's Not as Though they Are Going to Run Out of LIES to Tell or Media Whores Willing to Repeat Them

The propaganda is only going to get worse and worse, and a lot of people WILL swallow it, hook line and sinker, just like they always do.

How do we counter this kind of crap? It WILL hurt us in the polls, badly, if we cannot rebut it somehow, and get our rebuttal heard.
