This isn't another chain mail full of Lies, is it?
This is an article from Congress Woman Michelle Bachman. SLF, try reading it before commenting.
As far as the chain letter, did you read that thread? Yes some things were not true, however, as discussed in the thread some things were. The narrative, the story behind the letter is the focus there.
This is a common tactic done by the libaral left:
Duke rape case: Rich white guys raped a poor black girl.....did not happen...the liberals who slammed the guys, like the professors, the main streem media, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton etc... did any of these people apologize to the white guys? No. The narrative was true, the facts just did not match the narrative.
Jack Murtha calling US Marines murderers on the floor of the government.....the marines were exonerated, in other words, they did not do it. Did Jack Murtha apologize? No, the narrative was true, the fact that the marines did not murder innocent people, well that just did not match up with the narrative.
Harry Reid attacked Rush Limbaugh on the floor of the Senate, had a letter written and signed by 41 senators calling for Rush to be taken off the air because he called the men and women in Iraq "Phony Soldiers"......didnt happen, Rush was responding to people who were featured on an ABC broadcast, and one guy in particular. Did Harry Reid and the 41 senators apologize when the facts were out? No, the narrative was true of course, the facts just did not match up with the narrative.
Barack Obama goes to Iraq, says that the soldiers did a great job, responded that the violence was down, and political progress was made....however, when asked if, he could go back in time, knowing what he knows today, would he support the surge, Barack said no he would not. No he would not support the surge even with the success that it has brought about. You see, the narrative of Barack Obama is that are failing in Iraq, we have lost, and this narrative is more important than the facts that 80% of the violence has stopped, and that the Iraq government has meet 15 out of 18 benchmarks. For Barack Obama, the narrative is true, the facts just dont support the narrative.
So, you see SLF, although not all the facts in the chain letter were true, using the liberal logic, the narrative is much more important....the facts just dont match up with the narrative.
Does this help explain things better to you? If you still dont understand this thread, please feel free to go back and read the article by Michelle Bachman. Then maybe you can see the facts and match them up with your own personal narrative.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
