Lying Liberals Busted

An Article by Sweet Ann Coulter

In their latest demonstration of how much they love the troops, liberals have produced yet another anti-war hoax.

The New Republic has been running "true war" stories from a brave, anonymous liberal penning dispatches from Iraq. The famed "Baghdad Diarist" described his comrades joyfully using Bradley fighting vehicles to crush stray dogs, mocking a female whose face had been blown off by an IED, and defacing Iraqi corpses by wearing skull parts on their own heads.

Various conservatives began questioning the plausibility of the anonymous diarist's account -- noting, for example, that Bradley vehicles don't "swerve," as the diarist claimed. The editor of The New Republic responded by attacking the skeptics' motives, complaining that some conservatives make "a living denying any bad news that emanates from Iraq."

But when that clever retort failed to quiet rumblings from the right wing, The New Republic finally revealed the "Baghdad Diarist" to be ... John Kerry! Actually it was Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp, Democratic candidate for president circa 2028. (That gives him 20 years to learn to pronounce "Genghis.")

In revealing himself two weeks ago, Beauchamp lashed out at "people who have never served in Iraq." He said he was too busy fighting "an actual war" to participate in "an ideological battle that I never wanted to join."

He had tried to stay out of ideological battles by writing made-up articles in a national magazine claiming soldiers in Iraq had become callous beasts because of George Bush's war, killing to "secure the riches of the empire." Alas, this proved an ineffective method of keeping his head low. Beauchamp's next bid for privacy will be an attempt to host "The Price Is Right."

In response to Beauchamp's revelation that he was the "Baghdad Diarist," the military opened an investigation into his allegations. There was no corroboration for his stories, and Beauchamp promptly signed an affidavit admitting that every single thing he wrote in The New Republic was a lie.

According to The Weekly Standard's Michael Goldfarb -- who has led the charge of those who "make a living denying any bad news that emanates from Iraq" -- Maj. Steven F. Lamb, the deputy public affairs officer for Multi-National Division-Baghdad, said this of the Baghdad diarist:

"An investigation has been completed and the allegations made by Pvt. Beauchamp were found to be false. His platoon and company were interviewed and no one could substantiate the claims."

In response, The New Republic went into full Dan Rather loon mode. This astonishing post showed up on The New Republic Web site on Tuesday afternoon:

"A STATEMENT ON SCOTT THOMAS BEAUCHAMP:

"We've talked to military personnel directly involved in the events that Scott Thomas Beauchamp described, and they corroborated his account as detailed in our statement. When we called Army spokesman Maj. Steven F. Lamb and asked about an anonymously sourced allegation that Beauchamp had recanted his articles in a sworn statement, he told us, 'I have no knowledge of that.' He added, 'If someone is speaking anonymously (to The Weekly Standard), they are on their own.' When we pressed Lamb for details on the Army investigation, he told us, 'We don't go into the details of how we conduct our investigations.' -- The Editors"

It's good to see Mary Mapes is working again.

What on earth is going on? Either the military investigation found that Beauchamp lied or it didn't. Either military personnel corroborated stories of soldiers wearing skulls as crowns or they didn't. Either Army spokesman Maj. Steven Lamb gave a statement to The Weekly Standard or he didn't.

At the same time as The New Republic was posting the above statement, which completely contradicted The Weekly Standard's update, renowned right-wing news outlet ABC News confirmed that the military has concluded that Beauchamp was writing "fiction." ABC also quoted Goldfarb's account and said that Maj. Lamb reiterated his statement that Beauchamp's stories were false to ABC. The New York Times had the same story on Wednesday.

The New Republic has gone mad. Perhaps the magazine brought its former employee, fantasist Steven Glass, out of retirement. It's long past time for The New Republic to file for intellectual Chapter 7. Arthur Andersen was implicated in fewer frauds.

And we wonder how Democratic congressmen can lie about a vote they lost on the floor of the House -- captured on CSPAN for all the world to see -- changing the vote so that they win.

America's imminent victory in Iraq and safety from terrorist attacks at home is driving them all crazy.

Yes they are forced and do not have much of a choice which is even worse. There are good soldiers and there are bad ones and I know all of them are not bad, are you aware that there is a ton of gang related people in the military now that group and form their own gangs with in the military? The system is getting pretty corrupt but the government does not care. As long as they fight their war they are happy. I'm very sorry to hear that your husband is fighting the war in Iraq. I know you may fear for his life because a small amount of people in Iraq still attack the American soldiers and you prob. have allot of hate for those people. There are good people over there and also bad just like everywhere else in this world, it does not make them all bad and there are allot of innocent people suffering. Why do they have to suffer? It's an ongoing cycle of hate and all we are doing is making it worse.

Wow very good post: https://forums.politicalmachine.com/?forumid=3&aid=94886 . You seem like a really good person Texas Wahine and I like to believe most liberals are.

Successfully updated karma reason!

So if you hate republicans, Jacob, how are you not a bigot?

and don't even think about being condescending to Texas Wahine! Her and I disagree on a great many things, but there aren't very many people here at JU who wouldn't do anything we could for her.

Yes, many are some great liberals, great conservatives and great people everywhere in between. Unfortunately for you, you have chosen to hate people based on your own narrow preconceived notions... which means you define yourself as a bigot through your own words and actions.

Instead of hating us, why not just agree to disagree and enjoy some good (albeit sometimes heated) discussion? Or are you the type who can only enjoy a discussion with people you either agree with, or you are trying to "enlighten" with your profundity?

Why are the gas prices so much higher then it use to be now? Why is the United States on the bottom of the list for health care systems? Why are there so many poorly maintained schools and why do the people who teach our children get paid so less? Why do I have to put my children in a private school to be sure they are being taught well? Why is there so much poverty in the richest country in the world? How in the world can Bush just throw who ever he wants into prison with no questions asked? What's happening to this country? Why are 2 highly decorated border patrol men being sentenced to 12 - 13 years in prison for shooting a drug smuggler in the ass (these men were in the military and did allot for this country). Has anyone here seen "Loose Change 9/11"?

If our country is so horrible, why are people still willing to risk death to come and live here? Is there another country that you think get's it right? I would like to get paid as much as a teacher. You do not have to put your kids in private school, you chose to. A lot (allot is not a word btw) of the poverty is because people do not want to work. If foreigners who do not even speak English can make a living here, what is everyone elses excuse. Believe me there are questions being asked of Bush's policies and many of those asking aren't just liberals but conservatives as well. The border patrol agents shot the unarmed drug smuggler illegally, had a trial and were convicted by a jury of their peers. You don't get a free pass if you served in the military. They failed to report the shooting, lied to investigators, concealed evidence and filed a false report of the incident. Hardly the actions of innocent men.

re we not creating more terrorist by doing what we are doing now? How can we possibly fight a "War on Terrorism" by destroying and taking over a country? The "War on Terrorism" is nothing but a smoke screen! It's entirely made up and there most def. is an ulterior motive. If I could get at least one of you to watch "Loose Change 911"

I never understand these people who believe in this garbage. There is no Sept. 11 conspiarcy, get over that nonsense already. This is why people describe the left as "loony", because they believe this made-up nonsense that has absolutely NO FACTS to backup their accusations.

In order for someone to be taken seriously, Jacob, they must prove a certain level of wisdom, first. It might be wisdom someone doesn't necessarily agree with, but it at least displays some amount of reasoning ability, and most here respect that when they see it whether they agree with the "arrived at wisdom" or not.

I feel like a little fish in a shark pit

That's because you ARE a little fish in a shark pit. Once you've got that wisdom under your belt, and show some respect for the sharks, you'll stop getting eaten alive. Now you ponder that metaphor a while. It's your metaphor, after all. Explore it.

Well maybe you would understand those people if you were not to ignorant to watch the freakn documentary! A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own. I'm not a bigot! I just do not favor the opinions of most republicans.

"We are creating more terrorists"

Yup, and the reason we have such a big gang problem in this country is, back in the 70s and 80s, police forces were told to leave the gangs alone because pissing them off would only lead to more kids joining gangs.

oops, I guess it worked to leave them be, didn't it.

We sat around letting them kill us for decades, did that reduce the number of terrorists? Or even terrorist attacks?

BTW in order to get a point across I think it would be best not to denigrate your viewing audience or assume you are smarter and know the way of things any better than anyone else does. But that's just one mans opinion. Differing points of views are MOST welcome here but total ass-hats are NOT, so on that note I bid thee farewell monsieur ass-hat.

MM,, Good point for all sides. I am really getting very tired of the degradation as well. "Looney Left" and "Liberal Traitors" and "HanoiJohn" come to mind.

At JU, it seems that liberal bashing is considered normative, and the very moment one takes issue with the norm, well, gee, we are just "prejudiced." Right.

I gotta bridge to sell ya too.

See ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!

Loony Left only applies to the liberals who are truly out there (Pelosi, Reid, and those who say that 9/11 was an inside job... oh yeah, and Socialists.

Liberal Traitors only applies to those liberals who consider the terrorists and insurgents in Iraq "Freedom Fighters" and are rooting for them.

HanoiJohn.. well, he's the one who turned traitor while holding a commission in the U.S. Navy. If meeting with enemy officers during wartime isn't being a traitor then I guess that word no longer has any meaning.

OK here's a fact that makes me feel like allot of Americans are idiots. The world trade centers fell like a demolition because a plane hit it from the top. Planes have hit buildings that were not built nearly as strong as the world trade centers and burned for over 3 days and still had it's entire bottom half. The United States theory has been proven wrong over and over. There's an excellent documentary on this and I posted it above. The evidence is over whelming. Please watch the entire thing then let me know if you think it's just "one man's opinion".

Ummm.....I have watched this propanda piece, and it's not a documentary. It doesn't present any facts and does not prove any type of conspiracy.

No it hasn't. Loons on the left think they have, but as usual, they provide nothing of substance to backup their claims.

Your full of shit. It does have facts and it does prove conspiracy, I'm sorry but if you think it does not your a freaking idiot... I do not believe you watched the entire documentary and if you truly have and feel this way then you are most def. to far gone.

AI can and will lighten up on using 'loony left' and liberal traitors' in such a cavalier way, I will save the terms for the ones that in my eyes deserve it, like Pelosi and Reid and Durban and Kennedy, but I was calling John Kerry Hanoijohn when I was still a Democrat have been calling him that since 1973, he gets no slack OR respect fro me. ever.

With this one paragraph you have lost any veracity you might have garnered here, ever!

You are a conspiracy theory proponent and believe somehow Bush ET al sabotaged the towers to fall, This so called theory has been DIS proved over and over again and yet it still lives. Oh well I was hoping for some discourse with you that showed opposing views, nut believing this one is beyond belief! Better take that tinfoil hat out of mothballs because George {MINDBENDER},Bush is coming to get you.

EITHER WAY WELCOME TO JOEUSER, YOU ARE JUST NOT WELCOME HERE.

In typical liberal fashion you have to start with insults because someone doesn't buy your propaganda nonsense. I did watch this garbage when it first came out.

Please provide one ounce of documented proof from this "loose change" nonsense that shows Sept. 11 was an "inside job".

LOL you think for one second that any documented proof would still exist today? If you believe that then sorry your ( oh sorry you're, as in you are oh silly me) a fool...

Sorry IslandDog, but this is exactly what you and many of the right do. It would appear you in particular, cannot write a post without a flame blowing out some orifice. And THEN you get all torqued up because someone replies in kind? Hmmm.

Hey Jacob, I've been in black helicopters and have worked side by side with FEMA. Oooooh, I must be part of the whole conspiracy, huh!

LOL. So you have no proof? That was exactly my point, and you now are just making excusees.

Well first of all, I'm not "torqued up". I don't think my response was somehow irrational or insulting. I did not call him an idiot or use profanity as he did, so don't compare me to that.

Someone here is trying to tell us how Sept. 11 is some big government conspiracy based on a video which has NO documented proof to substantiate it's claims. Sorry, but I'm going to call them out on their nonsense.

Let me try again. I don't care how you spell, or what your grammar is like, as long as you spell out your arguments with some sort of rational thought. Calling people "idiots" earned you that post of mine. You're a hypocrite. Those "idiots" you labelled know where commas go, and know what contractions are, and what homynymns are, and those are FAR simpler concepts than the ones you claim to have exclusive knowledge of. So how are we to believe you are capable of the latter when you're not even capable of the former? Is any of this even registering, or have you already hit "reply?"

Not good enough. To refer to Senators and congressmen as traitors is abhorrent, in my opinion. These individuals have a different point of view and have worked tirelessly on behalf of their constituency and the United States. We should always respect them. You may disagree, but respectfully.

As to John Kerry, I think he is a true hero. Not only did he fight on behalf of his country, received the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and three Purple Hearts, but he had the courage to stand with fellow veterans during the war to stop the bloodshed. No coward here. Frankly, anyone who thinks so is well, I can't say...

I don't know about Kerry meeting with the "enemy". At what point and in what capacity and for what purpose? I know I returned to Vietnam in the mid-eighties and met with several "enemy soldiers". We still refused to have diplomatic relations with Vietnam, so I had to get my visa through Thailand. I guess I must be a traitor as well in your book.

So, if we were to use your logic then, and Iran is part of some wicked enemy front, then shouldn't we be referring to our Secretary of State, TehranCondi?

Be well?
