More Examples of "Fabricated but True"

Quote:
On July 16, Ms. Hunter wrote a column which began: "After watching the top five Democratic candidates for president speak before a trial lawyers' group Sunday, attorney Jim Ronca of Philadelphia, a staunch Republican, became certain of one thing: He is not going to vote for a Republican in the 2008 presidential election."

A suspicious reader checked out Mr. Ronca's political contributions. Mr. Ronca had made 14 since 1994 -- 12 to Democrats. The Democratic candidates received $7,000; the GOP candidates $750.
...
"Thomas" describes three instances of shocking behavior by U.S. troops. In the first, his buddies humiliate a woman in the chow hall who was disfigured by an IED. In the second, a soldier excavating a mass grave puts a portion of a child's skull on his head and wears it like a helmet for an entire day. In the third, the driver of a Bradley fighting vehicle deliberately runs over a dog in the street.
...
According to Thomas' story, the dog was on the right side of the vehicle, because the driver turned right to strike it. The driver's hatch is on the left side of the Bradley. Immediately to the driver's right is the cooling grill of the engine compartment, which rises above the driver's hatch, making it impossible for him to see anything on the right side of the vehicle.

Looks like there is enough "dishonesty" to go around. Who was that "someone" that checked Ronca's record. Looks like your writer didnt check his facts either. Look at this...
