They only support the troops when it suits them...
The NRO had a glowing op-ed to Pat on 05/04/04: "Courage and Honor." Pat and his family were treated with none of these. Yesterday---only silence because the propaganda was exposed. I wonder if Derbyshire will write a piece that says Tillman acted strangely when he tried to warn his "mates' that he was an American when he got shot and Derby only hopes that he would have done it differently if he were there....
Powerline weighs in and predictable says that there was no cover up at all:
There is no question that the initial misreporting of the circumstances of Tillman's death was stupid and improper. The claim of a government conspiracy to cover up the facts, however, is ludicrous.
Does he mean the rapper? They also painted Kevin Tillman as “an antiwar activist who has posted on far-left web sites...Well there you have it....He posted on some websites. Didn't he actually fight in Iraq? I guess they must have missed a few stories about the excellent way the military handled Pat Tillman's death...
Mahablog catches Rick Moran carrying out a fraud against the left..Moran says:
If it was good enough for your daddy/granddaddy’s war it’s good enough for yours,” seems to be what the Pentagon is saying with regards to trying to hype the accomplishments of Pat Tillman - whose character assassination by the left continues to this day - and Jessica Lynch, the young woman whose convoy was ambushed resulting in severe injuries and her capture by the Iraqis.
Barbara debunks his myth by checking out the posts he uses and says: I know it’s as common as ticks in Arkansas, but whenever I see this kind of depraved dishonesty from rightie bloggers I am disgusted anew.
