I don't get it

There's a post up at Powerline, where Greg Sargent claims that the photo of John F'n Kerry wasn't at ALL about Kerry being snubbed by the troops, it was about Kerry having a "private, off the record chat" with two NYT reporters.

OK, let me break this down for a little bit.

First of all, we have eyewitness accounts of how the troops reacted to John F'n Kerry:

This is a true story....Check out this photo from our mess hall at the US Embassy yesterday morning. Sen. Kerry found himself all alone while he was over here. He cancelled his press conference because no one came, he worked out alone in the gym w/o any soldiers even going up to say hi or ask for an autograph (I was one of those who was in the gym at the same time), and he found himself eating breakfast with only a couple of folks who are obviously not troops.


What is amazing is Bill O'Reilly came to visit with us and the troops at the CSH the same day and the line for autographs extended through the palace and people waited for two hours to shake his hand. You decide who is more respected and loved by us servicemen and women!


The guy couldn't even get a "Hello!" at the gym from a servicemember. That ought to tell you something right there. But the Left, never having much to do with facts, tried to debunk the story from the get-go. "THE PHOTO WAS FAKE! THE PHOTO WAS STAGED! IT NEVER HAPPENED! YOU'RE A POOPYHEAD LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!" And all that crap.

So now the storyline from the deranged Left has changed. All of a sudden the photo is real, but Kerry is eating alone because he wanted a private chat with two NYT reporters.

OK, let's just go with the fact that the Left has proven themselves incapable of any real debate. They went from "LIARLIARLIARFAKEPHOTOLIARLIAR!" to "Oh, you just don't understand the context of the photo, which in fact is real" in the space of a week.

Strike one, kiddies.

They do not address the eyewitness account of the reception Kerry got from the troops, choosing to ignore those inconvenient facts, and attack the messenger instead.

Strike two, shitstains.

And last but not least, the storyline has changed from "Kerry got snubbed by the troops", to "The troops got snubbed by John F'n Kerry, who chose to speak with two off duty NTY reporters rather than any of the 150,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines that he was surrounded by."

That's strike three, you communist clusterfucks. YER OUT! And Greg Sargent, you are an idiot of the highest order. You make the Democrats American Communist Party proud!
