CNN's Brown Snidely Hints Purple Hearts
in Iraq Will Be Suspect

Aaron Brown's snide shot of the day. Upon pointing out a photo in Stars and Stripes of some soldiers in Iraq who had earned Purple Hearts, during his Wednesday night "Morning Papers" segment on CNN's NewsNight, Brown sarcastically remarked: "Some day, one of them will run for President and someone will say they didn't earn the Purple Heart. Welcome to America."

Brown began his November 10 look at the Thursday newspapers, a segment in which he holds up big veloxes of front pages:
"Okay, time to do morning papers. I've been on an airplane today. I have no voice left. What is it about airplanes that does that? I don't know. Stars and Stripes starts it off: 'U.S. Troops Control Most of Fallujah,' the headline. 'U.S. Officials Believe Most Insurgents Have Fled the City.' Look at this picture here, if you can. 'Troops' Bravery Honored in Iraq.' These are all Purple Heart winners. Some day, one of them will run for President and someone will say they didn't earn the Purple Heart. Welcome to America."

The photo Brown showcased was of a row of soldiers. For the story with the picture: www.estripes.com

The caption: "Nine soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division's 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment received Purple Hearts Tuesday at Forward Operating Base MacKenzie, Iraq, for injuries received this year during Operation Iraqi Freedom."

To see the front page of the November Stars and Stripes, look for the European or Middle East editions which carried the photo: www.estripes.osd.mil

The MRC's Ken Shepherd used our DVR system to grab a still shot of Brown pointing to the photo and that will be placed in the posted version of this CyberAlert item.

It's number 3 on the list.

I've already gone to the CNN website, found the program, and let this hack have a piece of my mind.

Besides his voice, airplanes must have sucked out Brown's rationality and mind. Evil or Very Mad

True. I would not be surprised Kerry is behind a lot of this.

Brown is a CNN elitist turd without the cajones to be an "inbed". I would expect that from someone who hasn't the slighest knowledge of what a REAL Purple Heart means. One of those troopers in that picture ought to come home and beat his A**. But they won't because they are better than that. And that, Mr. Brown, is the difference between you and them!!!

F**kin' liberal snobs......

Re: Shooter

Sir, you have single-handedly besmirched and disparaged
the good name of elitist turds everywhere.
Congratulations! Very Happy
