Phony Soldier Jesse Macbeth Sentenced

Fri, Sep 21, 2007 at 4:38:28 pm PDT

Jesse MacBeth, the lying scumbag who became a hero of the left when he claimed to be an Army Ranger and alleged that the US military was routinely murdering Iraqi civilians, has been sentenced to 5 months in prison.
Quote:
A Tacoma man who falsely claimed he was a decorated war hero when he took the stage at demonstrations held in opposition to the U.S.’s role in Iraq was sentenced this morning to five months in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Jesse MacBeth, 23, was also sentenced to three months in a halfway house after his release and three years of probation.
MacBeth claimed that he was an Army ranger who killed more than 200 people, many at close range, including some as they prayed in a mosque. He spoke at an anti-war rally in Tacoma and appeared in a 20-minute anti-war video that circulated widely on the Internet.
In reality, MacBeth made it through only six weeks of Army basic training and never set foot in Iraq.
Conservative bloggers exposed MacBeth in May 2006, destroying his credibility and embarrassing the Seattle company that produced the video about his exploits. ...
PepperSpray Productions in Seattle produced the video titled “Jesse MacBeth: An Iraq Veteran Speaks Out.” In the film, MacBeth told nuanced tales of brutal killings he carried out at the behest of his commanding officers.
“They would actually feel the hot muzzle of my rifle on their forehead,” he reportedly said on the video, which is no longer in circulation.
That's what the Left is famous for. COming out with BS that is later shot down, but no one knows about it. The Ends justify the Means for them...

Hmm...usually 'decorated war heroes' never mention if they've killed someone, let alone how many they've killed, and the manner in which they killed them. That probably would have given it away for me, as I've yet to meet a soldier that'll mention killing someone.

I have to admit he is the ideal caller in Buzzword Bingo, perhaps we could run a game or two.

Anyone want to make the cards?

Yeah but thats the beauty of Buzzword Bingo, the caller doesn't have to understand it they just have to do what they do best its the players that get the enjoyment from it.

Phoenix80 If you want just a little credibility, you've got to start thinking before you post your baits. I realise that I am on your ignore list, but I know that you'll get the news eventually.
So you are saying that starting every post with "commie, leftist, mullah, Iran, liberal, defeatists, islamofscist, deomrats, left wing, isn't fooling anyone anymore?

Right over his head Monty.

I suppose then phoenix80, that by your reckoning that the "leftwing press" did us all a great favour. If it were not for their movie on this loony, he would never have been exposed in the manner he was.
