This is worse than corpse men

Russian ships were displayed at the DNC tribute to American  veterans.  How do things like this happen?

Retired Adm. John Nathman speaks on stage with military veterans during the final day of the Democratic National Convention on Sept. 6 in Charlotte, N.C. Experts say the ships in the background are Russian.

“On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.

But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.

While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above.

These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.”

Then when the DNC apologized on Sept. 12, they used the opportunity to take a swipe at Romney for not mentioning veterans in his speech at the RNC.  Somehow if you lamely call attention to someone else in your apology, it just sounds so, so, Obamash.

30 days or your ignorance back

Democrats are taking a huge risk asking their followers to listen to conservative hosts on talk radio and call in their scripted opinions. Right now, the snippets they hear are filtered through the liberal "truther" filter. Sliced, diced, and canned. What will happen when they catch the entire piece and realize they've been lied to?
    "Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee, has launched an online site to help President Obama’s supporters infiltrate largely conservative talk radio.

    Visitors to the On the Air site are provided with the call-in number of a talk show that discusses political topics, and the option to listen to the show live. They are urged to phone in when the topic of healthcare comes up. They can also click on a button to move to another show.

    “The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV, and online — and on talk radio,” the introduction to the online tool states.

    “And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure [Organizing for America] supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message.”" Newsmax
