That's what I like to see.

Pick One....

-------from snopes
Kenneth Starr, Clinton's legal nemesis, had psoriasis; Jack Kemp, Dole's running mate in 1996, was unfit because of a knee injury, though he heroically continued as a National Football League quarterback for another eight years; Pat Buchanan had arthritis in his knees, though he soon became an avid jogger.
The best story concerns Rush Limbaugh, the ferociously bellicose radio personality, who allegedly had either "anal cysts" or an "ingrown hair follicle on his bottom".

5. please don't flame, but the guy acts like a dork
I SUPPORT YELLOW ELEPHANT, don't get me wrong. But this kind of juvenile stunt is shameful and will only hurt the cause.

Why does he tell the jerk at the door that "I'm working for Republicans who want to increase enlistment" or some lie to that same effect? Why lie? That's why I call him a dork.

The door guy asks him why the camera is there and basically calls him a Michael Moore poser. You know what, he deserved that. That's EXACTLY what's he's doing.

Yellow Elephant activists NEED TO BE HONEST. Specially if you're putting it on film. Show some balls, tell him straight out why you have the enlistment papers, don't weasel around it. I would not use this tape as any kind of promotion, how about doing one where our guy isn't lying?

7. He would have never gotten in the door.
I recognize the address for the film clip, and I gotta tell ya, the College ReTHUGlicans there don't know open discousre and fair debate.

They're Business School Majors, remember? Most of the little chickenhawks drive Range Rovers and escalades, too...

8. he didn't get in the door
He acted like a scared kid and lied when confronted. That bothered me more than the asshole lying about "needing to be sensitive to those that want to, but can't"

Bigger cajones required if you're going to post this stuff online to get people to support you, that's all I'm saying.

Cindy Sheehan hasn't lied to get her message across. I do not believe Michael Moore lied to get his message across.

Isn't LYING the biggest issue we have with * ?

10. They start'em young!
Okay, how are you going to be for something, and when asked to stand up for it, you start pulling excuses out of your ass? These kids were on skates! Then "Mister Man" at the end, the sensitive on, started making excuses!

That video is a good example of "If you don't stand for something; you will fall for anything!" The freepers aren't standing up against what everyone one knows is wrong, so they are falling for Bush's B.S.
