Saving Private Jessica

[peterorchard]

On more than one occasion have I defended the US where I thought they'd been unfairly treated\regarded by the rest of the world but I hear they're looking for the actress to play Jessica Lynch in a Hollywood movie and wonder why the f**k I bother.
One reason why the US does not do well in the PR stakes is a total lack of humility when it would be far easier to show humility than hide it.
Ever wondered why the world hates America?
The list grows.
A huge, though not unexpected, disappointment.

The black girl who was a POW, Shoshana Johnson, barely gets 10 minutes on the news.

And she was wounded in both legs!!!

All the while the Jessica Lynch story runs across the ticker, her family hold press conferences, and now they are making a movie?

God bless America, indeed.

 

[radiofreecostarica]

might be because she's from "America's Heartland". An appeal to the 'americana' in all of us...

I can see it now, "Taken from the 'Heart of America' to the Bowels of an Iraqi Prison"

And what's funny is that its still sentimental bullshit.

 

[StoneCold+]

You guys are just JEALOUS, cuase when its all said and done, She will have enough money to hire ya as her servants.......

 

[radiofreecostarica]

We're jealous of a POW? You truly have the wrong idea about war.

 

Funk, Wow dude, the P.O.W. "race" card! Jesse Jackson would be proud! If you don't think those liberal humps in hollywood aren't gonna jump all over Shoshana's story, you truly are blinded. Jessica's story, until a few days ago, was the ONLY story of the pow's. Now that the others have been freed, they'll get their air time and their story will be coming to a theatre near you, and you know it. I bet Whoopie Goldberg is already getting calls.

 

FunkSoulBrother is racist!

Why am I not flabbergasted.... Typical Liberal.

 

[radiofreecostarica]

The media HAS been pouring more attention over Jessica than over Soshana...

 

[grantt]

The only story that needs to be told here is about the Iraqi boy that the Americans blew both his arms off, killed his father and his mother who was 5 months pregnant. Jessica story big deal. Drives a supply truck, captured, fed, given medical attention then went home.

This will be another joke flick like black Hawk down.

 

[TUBBY]

Please......don't pull the race shit on this one. Soshana was one of 7 rescued, so the attention was obviously spread out a bit. When Jessica was rescued, she was the first and only rescued POW, so it was obviously a much bigger story at the time. Plus, the events leading up to her capture and the nature of the rescue itself are just a bit juicier.
And I wouldn't exactly call the hills of West Virginia the heartland. Much like eastern Kentucky, people from these parts are generally looked upon as uneducated hillbillies. You intellectual types tend to think that we are all ignorant boobs just because our accent reminds you of Jethro Bodine.

 

[TUBBY]

Grantt,
YOU ARE THE POISON THAT SICKENS OUR NATION!!!

And you're basically just a shit-stirring prick. I pity you because I can't imagine that you have a friend in the world. Let's see if we can even find you a friend in the forum. Anyone who thinks that Grantt is a swell, peach of a guy, please respond here. Or better yet, anyone who agrees with me that Grantt is an absolute prick, please reply here.

Thanks
Tubby

Tubby you've obviously mistaken me for someone who's interested in being friends with a fat, ignorant American. I've traveled all over the world and your pea-brained culture doesn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong I have many American friends and like the majority of them but you and your racist, uneducated, brainwashed pals here are not the kind of trash I would hang out with, regardless what nationality they were.

 

[TUBBY]

Oh Grantt, that really hurts. I was hoping we could be best buds. Man, that's too bad.
Maybe we are all trash, but you are sort of hanging out with us. And I'm still sort of waiting for someone to chime in and say that you're ok. And it ain't gonna happen. There are basically two sides to this war debate, and you are on neither of them. There is pro-war, anti-war, and "all out I hate the USA".
You are all by yourself in the third category (RadioFreeCostaRica might join you if you learn to tone it down a bit)

 

[entropy]

Grantt is a swell, peach of a guy,

happy now tubby ??

 

[FunkSoulBrother]

I don't hate the USA, but I'm going to step in here and say:

I think Grantt is a swell, peach of a guy.

You lose, TUBBY.

 

[FunkSoulBrother]

And Frank is calling me racist.. I have one word for you frank:

Projection.

 

[TUBBY]

OK FSB,
I lose. You got me there. But it was only a half unit parlay bet (2-teamer 1) Grantt has no allies 2) number of racist accusations in this thread--over 5. I think the over 5 was the real lock.

 

>And Frank is calling me racist

*YOU* interjected race into this not me! When will the liberals 'walk the walk'??
