Headline: GOP Condones Soldier Slur!
Well, that's what a real, independent media would say.

We can only dream of the nation we once lived in and cry.

1. The problem is...
Such a statement is not newsworthy enough to print, much less put into the headlines. It is like saying, "Headline: Fire is hot!" or "Breaking: The sun rises in the east!"

Sheesh! :eyes:

5. If a Dem said the said thing, suddenly I bet the MSM
would suddenly find it amazingly newsworthy.

Don't you love double standards? x(

4. Well..you got the Headline right!
And this is what I said in another post..

"So the republicons think the Soldiers

Good for them..setting the record straight."

7. Kind of my point. Need short, memorable phrasing.
Keep turning it around on them every chance we get. May never make it to the MSM, but can use it in our real lives.
