In his landmark book, Stolen
June 8, 2007 - 10:21 ET by BDIn his landmark book, Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of Its Heroes and Its History. B.G Burkette exposed the cases of scores of anti war demonstrators during the Vietnam war who posed as veterans of the war. Many of these posuers actually took the stage with John Kerry during his infamous "Winter Soldiers" fiasco.
Well, we should have expected it, but here it comes. THe next generation of such posuers have now arrived:
SEATTLE — A man who claimed to have participated in war crimes while serving in Iraq pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal charge of making false statements about his record.
Jesse Adam Macbeth, 23, acknowledged lying about his service to the Department of Veterans Affairs in an effort to qualify for medical disability compensation.
Macbeth claimed to have served in the Army from May 2001 to June 2004, to have reached the rank of corporal, and to have been awarded a Purple Heart after being wounded in Iraq. In reality, he was kicked out of the Army after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga., in 2003 because of his “entry level performance and conduct.”
Macbeth garnered attention on the Internet and in some alternative media when he claimed to have participated in war crimes in Iraq, including the slaughtering of worshippers at a mosque. As part of his plea agreement, he admitted fabricating those stories.
U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik is scheduled to sentence Macbeth on Sept. 21. The charge is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine
I am surprised he was not interviewed by CBS News as a noted expert on the subject.

June 8, 2007 - 10:38 ET by RangerTomThe company that made his video should have done some research on this piece of crap. To them, Macbeth was just another idiot with a lie to tell that sounded too good to pass up. Macbeth should feel the hot muzzle of someones weapon pressed against his head. That was line he used in the video. I beleive he said that the people in the mosque could feel the hot muzzle of his weapon pressed against their heads. Yeah, I hate people like this.
Screw diversity, celebrate competancy
Yep, concur....What is sad is
June 8, 2007 - 11:03 ET by BDYep, concur....
What is sad is that nearly all of Burkette's thesis statements from Stolen Valor (Vets unfarily popularized as Drug addicted, war crime committing, PTSD victims) is already being used as a template by the MSM for this war as well.
We are already seeing TV melodramas showing returning vets as PTSD sufferers who commit crimes because they cannot get Iraq out of their addled brains.
Soon, we will see the losers of society standing on street corners with signs saying "Iraq War Vet, be generous" regardless of the fact that virtually none of them will ever have left the continental US.
We will also see such false victims who will use the VA as a high priced full service hotel regardless of the fact they will never have made it through boot camp.
And not unlike Vietnam, the real truth will be that the average Vietnam Vet / Iraq Vet will and does suffer less mental illness, is employed at higher levels, and is physically more fit than their average civilian counterparts.
I have always resented the fa
June 8, 2007 - 11:40 ET by bassndudeI have always resented the fact that the RVN Vets have been portrayed as drug users, and war mongers. Killers for hire, so to speak, or homeless and living under a bridge with heroin and wine for breakfast. My own father assumed that I smoked dope during my tours. Never could convince him that all Vets dident smoke that crap, the majority of the combat troops did not partake of such things. Dulls your senses and slows reaction time. Good way to get killed.
I had an aversion for all services Goverment for a long time. After my discharge, I used the VA hospital for some of my ailments, but after the overhaul by the goverment, never went to the trouble to get into the system. Time, work and family dident allow. Now, I am in the process. Agent Orange, and other things seem to have taken there toll on me, lol.
But I understand that it is people like these false vets that have caused a large problem with the VA. Nobody wanted to go fight that war, they ran away and hid in far away places to avoid it. Then they wanted the VA and the American people to take care of them. Well, I for one would be glad to take care of em! It was the non vets that created the image for us, and we are the ones stuck with it. I wish I could get over it, its been 35 years, but some how, it still angers me.

June 8, 2007 - 13:59 ET by BDIsolated atrocities committed by American Soldiers produced torrents of outrage from anti-war critics and the news media while Communist atrocities were so common that they received hardly any media mention at all. The United States sought to minimize and prevent attacks on civilians while North Vietnam made attacks on civilians a centerpiece of its strategy. Americans who deliberately killed civilians received prison sentences while Communists who did so received commendations.

June 8, 2007 - 16:52 ET by sarcasmo1. Making fun of liars isn't "celebrating" anything, as I already told you. You've lied in the past about me and my motivations regarding this subject, so I made fun of it in order to keep you from thinking you'd gotten-away with it, and you bit. Deal with it. I'd personally prefer actual arguments about the tax and spend drugwar, rather than lies about my motivations for being against it, but if you supply the lies, I'll supply unrelenting ridicule.
2. The objection isn't dishonorable at all. Lies about me, however, are an indicator of low character and low argument abilities. Face the facts, the past lies about me personally on this subject make bassindude's situation more than a bit ironic, especially since he was one of my early attackers on this subject, so I said-so.

Really? Funny, I did a fairly extensive search of most of the MSM sites and found nary a mention of any of this stuff, and what I did find was convoluted to the point of absurdity.
What I find truly interesting is all the Islamic terrorist apologists out there, and on this site, are going so far out of their way to cover up for this jerk.
Perhaps it is because Ellison shares most liberal's profound and irrational hatred for Jews and Christians, not to mention this country.
I think this Islamic barbarian-sympathizer should be forced from from office and placed under intense federal investigation.
As far as taking his oath on the Quran, ever read it? Any of it?

So basically your saying that if you believe in the Quran you automatically hate Christians and Jews.
That's fine, so by your rationale if you believe in the Bible, you automatically hate all Muslims and Jews.
Interesting.
your ignorance knows no bounds
June 8, 2007 - 12:22 ET by LionKingIslam specifically teaches the destruction of the infidels, aka Jews and Christians. The Bible has no such teaching; on the contrary, it encourages believers to "Love their enemies."
Bible vs Koran

June 8, 2007 - 12:38 ET by The Wicked ConservativeThey recognize Him as a prophet but not as the Messiah. That's why they don't listen to Jesus. God gave everyone the free will to choose Him or not. It's your free will to do what you want but if you don't choose salvation through Christ, it's not the fault of Christians or God that you go to hell. NOWHERE does Jesus teach converting through violence. He merely warned of the consequences of turning from Him.
The man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.

June 8, 2007 - 12:40 ET by vrwc13No Lion King, I believe it teaches Jesus was a great prophet but Muhammad was the greatest.
BTW, Islam teaches to first offer conversion, then if not, submission, then if not, elimination. And do not be fooled when they offer peace, they are taught that you offer peace to an advisary whom you cannot defeat until such time you can return and defeat them.
There is also something a Muslim friend once told me about "People of the Book" wherein Muslims have a certain tolarance for them...per Wiki...
"People of the Book" (Arabic أهل الكتاب, Ahl al- Kitâb) is a theological term, primarily related to Islam, describing non-Muslim peoples who, according to the Qur'an, received scriptures which were revealed to them by God before the time of Muhammad. In Islam, the Muslim scripture, the Qur'an, is taken to represent the completion of these scriptures, and to supplant them as God's true, final, and eternal message to humanity. However, because the People of the Book recognize the supreme Abrahamic God as the Muslims do, and they practice revealed faiths based on Divine ordinances, a certain level of tolerance and autonomy is accorded to them in societies governed by sharia (Islamic divine law).
again...I am no expert on this

Quran:

"Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and his apostle nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth (even if they are) of the people of the Book (the Jews), until they pay the Jizya [religious tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." - Sura 9:29

Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.-- Deuteronomy, Chapter 17:2-3,5

Choosing Jesus requires rep
June 8, 2007 - 14:00 ET by The Wicked ConservativeChoosing Jesus requires repenting from sin, that is to turn away from it. Believers are still fallen beings and will stumble into sin which they will be forgiven for. People who remain in their sins love their sins and not God. There's a difference between stumbling into sin and living in and for sin. In both the old and new testament active sinners such as homosexuals, liars, thieves, and idolaters will inherit the lake of fire.
The man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.
glad you're bringing this up
June 8, 2007 - 14:24 ET by tumblerYou're very correct. In fact; for the spiritual benefit of ever-present anti-Catholics who love bringing up dirt concerning the Borgia popes, Torquemada, the priest who falls into sin;
Catholics know for certain that a few black chapters in the history of Catholicism (we admit to them without flinching) must be seen in that same way you're suggesting now. The vilest sinner is able to come back and receive God's forgiveness if he turns away from a lifetime of sins. In point of fact:
A bad Pope had every benefit of penance and the absolution of his sins that I have today. More so; --since Popes are attended every day by personal confessors and so are most Catholic bishops. The proof of which of course-- is true repentence of the heart with reliance on the infinite mercy of Our Father in heaven. David says in a psalm: "Oh Lord, thou shalt not spurn a humble and contrite heart." (By the grace of Jesus Christ.)
Furthermore; for every bad Pope, there are scores of saintly and holy men who have occupied the Chair of Peter since the Church began in this world; 33 A.D, to be exact.
No, Agnostic, it doesn't
June 8, 2007 - 13:22 ET by Cool ArrowYour quote refers to Children of Israel who after seeing all the miracles God did for them, go following other gods. These guys had a front row seat at the greatest show on earth. To turn away was to call God's work charlattanism.
There are passages where God tells Israel to kill everybody in a region, but I don't think you picked the right one.

June 8, 2007 - 14:18 ET by exLibSo the Bible preaches tolerance of other religions, you say?
TOLERANCE, yes. ACCEPTANCE, no.
Realize that you are quoting a THEOCRACY that no longer exists.
The book of Jeremiah is where God sets forth the abolishment of the covenant that you quote.
Jesus brought in the new covenant that did preach tolerance somewhat of other people's choices. But that didn't mean you would be accepted as a Christian for those choices just that since the people of God were no longer under an official state sponsored Theocracy they had to allow people to make their own choices.
But most liberals don't understand the difference between tolerance and acceptance.

There is no chance republicans are going to fight it, they are crying along with democrat white Paris Hilton needs to be jailed because poor blacks of the area would never be released soon (before even checking the facts) because it's a good "anti-racist immunization position".
Republicans have written and complained and admitted they shake with fear over the race card being applied to them.

June 8, 2007 - 13:17 ET by PKMighty Mouth!!!
the list goes on (as applied to california).
1&1/2 gallon toilets are required when you sell a a house. thats with sewer systems that were built for 5 gallon toilets and guarantee that sooner or later you have to dig up the line from the house to the street (~$5,000) to fix it.
no more oil based paints. so you see cars that are anywhere from a couple of years old to five years old with the paint peeling in huge sheets.
no more oil based paints. painting the side of a ship. the next coat has to go on a dry surface. it takes till noon to get the ship dry but it takes till midnight to get the paint on ~2-3 acres of surface. but the evening fog rolls in about 8 p.m. six weeks later the paint falls off in patches big enough to tent your house.
the moonbats scream about power plants polluting the local air and block construction. so the power plant builders build new power plants in states that want the jobs and bring the power across state lines in power lines. naturally when the demand goes up the price goes up and the california state types cannot touch the generating companies because they are out of state and out of reach.
the moonbats scream about "dirty old refinerys" and "dirty exhaust from highway vehicles" so the refinerys buy up small refinerys and use their "pollution credits" (sound framiliar?) to build larger more effecient refineries. the state types demand that they use "custom" formulas for state road fuels that no one outside the state wants to make without a premium price. they tax the $%*( out of gas and sales tax the money paid on taxes and the people cannot understand why the price of gas is crowding $3.50.
of course the citizens cannot under stand why the illegals go to the head of the line in emergency rooms.
of course the legislators cannot understand why the hospitals are getting out of the trauma centers.
just a small sample.

June 8, 2007 - 14:42 ET by PKMighty Mouth:
out here we have no idea what happens to your electric rates.
when the movers and shakers want to crobar the electric rates here they raise the specter of "brownouts" and the locals fall right in line.
during the latest electricity shortage we had factories that used electric furnaces to melt steel shutting down because they could make more money selling their electricity rather than using it. of course we the public had to pay the unimployment benefits for the guys out of work.
we had elderly power plants that had been shut down for decades that were not put back into service because they would have "poluted".
we had hospitals that were threatened with shutdowns but were not allowed to run their emergency diesel generators because of beaurocratic reasons.
we saw on the evening news the "catch 22" situation of the week.
two years before it happened we saw businesses in san diego that went under because they had an experiment in letting electric rates "float".
the level of irritation with state legislaters is astronomical, yet we cannot seem to make even minor reasonable changes in state government.
gotta go, the maalox truck is here to make a bulk delivery.

June 8, 2007 - 11:39 ET by Hero SquadSomething fun for Friday.
A few weeks ago I passed along info to a friend about this "McCarthy Is Right" coffee mug. Unfortunately, his "Take that Hippy" Bush wins mug had just broken earlier in the day, and so he ordered the new mug right away.
His comment to me once it arrived: "It's amazing how much better coffee tastes when you have truth, history and righteousness on your side!"
That alone was worth the price of the mug.
Best of all was the one reaction he received in the newsroom where he works (and where I used to work): "Aw, for Crissakes!"

June 8, 2007 - 13:41 ET by PKGang!!
i find it vastly interesting that the MSM is blaming the price rise in food, cigars, damn near everything on the high price of gasoline.
ninty nine and forty four hundredths percent of commerce is hauled by diesel trucks, locomotives etc.
currently the price of diesel in california is about twenty five cents less than gas.
yes its high but not as high as gas.
