I feel so sorry for the Tillman Family.

[blueinindiana]

The death of a loved one is bad enough but then to have your son’s death used as a propaganda tool is quite another. Tillman’s death whether accidental, negligent or something worse still needs to be honored. Now his death and service is forever tainted in a scandal concocted by Bush, Inc’s spin machine.

Bush, Inc has no shame, no conscience and anyone who stands behind them has no honor.

1. Actually it's shame on Bushco, i don't think Tillmans' life or death has

been sullied or tainted by what they've down and how poorly it was handled.

2. His story reminds me a lot of what they tried to do with Jessica Lynch.

I have also heard that there has been quit a bit of bull put out there about the 9/11 people on the air planes that went down.

This is bad because it makes cynics out of all of us. How can trust the media anymore?

Every time I hear something now, I second and third guess it. I have never seen so much dishonesty.

9. You still trusted the media after the second stolen, rigged election?

I dont believe anything the MSM puts out whatsoever.

It sold out, bought and paid for by the same brand of crooks and robbers.

[IsItJustMe]

12. Well, it takes a while to wake up sometimes. I use to watch FAUX and then

I realized how jacked up it was before the 2004 election. The media don't report on itself you know.

Then I started watching Link TV and folks like Noam Chomsky. Now I now what I know.

18. Welcome to DU, IsItJust Me!

I did not mean to be mean, I just know what I know.

Know what I mean ? :D

15. Perhaps you NEED to watch this movie???

3. I feel sorry for about 10,000 families...

who will be dealing with this forever.

So many families of returning vets will be dealing with this for the rest of their lives.

I know, all too well.

4. Takes all humor

from that scene in "Wag the Dog." If you don't have a hero, make one up. It was kind of absurd, till now. Now I realize that that is JUST what they are doing. Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman did a service, bad things happened, VERY QUESTIONABLE actions, and they were painted as "heroes."

This is not in any way meant to disparage his service or his sacrifice, but Tillman wasn't a hero in my opinion. He stood by what he believed and did a noble thing sacrificing personal gain for service, in that he was a noble warrior. He was paid back by his country by being used, killed, and the story of his death was manipulated and used by the crooks in charge, to stir up patriotism, and more nationalistic pride. THEY RAPED HIS CORPSE !!!! How DARE They!!!

5. To Have Honor, Conscience and Integrity

has become a debased coin in Bush's America.

R.I.P. Pat Tillman

[upi402]

6. I thought of that too. BushCo is evil and fundies are blind

To the Tillman memory that is as true blue as he was;
:patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

anda little tribute for BushCo;
:evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown:

[Neil Lisst]

7. I thought from the first that he was killed by other soldiers

and that it might have been a grudge shooting

[goclark]

8. Was Tillman a supporter of George Bush?

Just asking ~ they said on tv today that he really wanted to go and fight this war and that he volunteered.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. After 9/11, when the patriotism was still at a fever height.

Since that time I believe he was opposed to the illegal occupation.

[BrotherBuzz]

11. I understand his view changed

Frst he was for it then he was against it. He saw the light when Bushco launched a war against an oil-rich sovereign country based on lies.

[goclark]

14. Is that why he may have been hit by "friendly fire"

I remember when I first heard about it, I was so sorry for his family.

Yet, the way that Bushco played it up seemed fishy at the time.
Was that just me?

[BrotherBuzz]

16. I'm wearing a very tiny tinfoil bonnet on that idea....

I think the crime is the cover up! I'm more inclined to believe the opportunity to exploit his death by the gang for political purposes was a lot more plausible then planning his execution. Occam's razor. But, hey, that's just me. :shrug:

[goclark]

19. I believe I see it better now

thanks.

It is another Jessica Lynch saga.

Cover up for their PR purposes.

Then later, when the truth comes out, they have already gotten the goodie points.

What a horror for our country they are ~

[BrotherBuzz]

20. Correct on all points...

Now get ready for the 'double super secret background' spin they are going to try to spoon feed the nation. Even the freepers won't swallow the official story when it dribbles out.

What a horror for our country they are ~ indeed!

[Marr]

13. He was an honorable man who's been used by a pack of cowards and

propagandists.

[KeepItReal]

17. Precisely.
