Anyone watching the Nazi propaganda reel? (aka the 'thug convention)
Edited on Mon Aug-30-04 08:19 PM by dionysus
This chorus is singing (a bastardized version of )the Marine anthem and WW2 era sounding fight songs while showing footage of all kinds of war machinery?

So let me get this shit straight... Kerry mentions he's a veteran.. that's bad.. how 'exploitative'

GOP convention = fellate the military we're hanging out to dry to get their fucking brains blown out in wars they shouldn't be in... hmmmm

excuse me while I poke my eyes and ears out and gargle some bleach...

6. well, certainly no offense meant to you for that!
but thats another reason why they do it, it hit's people emotions. It's really a commercial for war, death, and destruction. To me, it's an insult to the troops, to use them that way. In WW2, we needed it to survive. Today? To elect a drunken sleazebag...

5. I am watching Seabiscuit on HBO
If I want to know what happened at RNC, I will get the condensed version from DU and avoid hearing the drivel on TV.

8. OMG, IT'S NAZI - CON
No kiddin
No way
No how

The "chorus" was a "black" church choir singing the praises of Our Dear Leader's Military.

Not even I could imagine such degradation.

9. I agree
There was something very offensive about that video and the choral renditions of military songs at the RNC...
Brings to mind all the dead and maimed soldiers in Iraq...senseless.
