Russian ships displayed at DNC tribute to vets - JerryJeff - 09-12-2012 01:17 PM
Quote:On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
Ooops!

What more proof do you need to know that Obama and the Democrats are Communists!

Who said that? I find it humorous that they pay tribute to our vets using russian warships as a back drop. I guess nobody in the democratic party knows what a US warship looks like.

Okay, it's you saying Obama and the democrats are communists. Interesting.

The most charitable thing you could say about this is that they just didn't know or care enough to get it right. Someone googled "warships" and went with the first cool one they found.
Nice "tribute".

Kinda fits in with "corpse-men."

The DNC blamed it on a "vendor", whatever that means.

As a retired naval officer I am offended. This was not something that wouldn't have been obvious if they had made even a minimal effort to verify. It speaks far more to a lack of caring whether they got it right or not. That is troubling indeed.

Did Mitt overlooking our troops in battle in his acceptance speech offend you?

Shows you how many ex-military people are working with Obama's campaign.

Didn't the DNC only want Union vendors?

NC is a right to work state so they did not have any union vendors.

I do not think you know what "right to work" means...
Or are you conceding that given a choice people would not want to be in a union..
