Questioning Patriotism?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given that in 2004 GOP conventioneers--supporting a President and VP with no military experience--mocked veteran John Kerry with fake purple heart bandaids. But the GOP produced a video celebrating patriotism and the service of our soldiers. With no actual soldiers. They were actors.

It was a video that was supposed to elicit soaring patriotism and real emotions about the Pledge of Allegiance. But to do that, it used fake soldiers and a staged military funeral instead of the real thing.

And then there's this. Do you know what this is in the background behind McSame?


That's Walter Reed Middle School.

Who knew the Republican'ts were so good at metaphor?
