A funny thing happened last week at the Democrat National Convention in Charlotte, NC and it came during a tribute to U.S. veterans. It seems that those impressive looking naval vessels displayed on that big screen were, in fact, Soviet-era Russian naval ships. Imagine that. It came on the last night of the Democrat National Convention, when some retired Navy four-star admiral, by the name of John Nathman, took was on stage to supposedly pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But a funny thing happened, funny weird, not funny haha, there was one huge mistake made in that stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships. Naval experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that were overflown by what appear to be U.S. trainer jets. It remains unclear why the Democrat Party used images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their convention, since thus far a spokesman for the Democrat National Convention Committee was not able to immediately comment Tuesday, saying he had to track down personnel to find out what had happened.
Democrats have continued to attempt to use their display of military pride to attack Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who mentioned the military twice in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. The Democrats' gaffe may undermine that message. Let’s be honest here, the Democrats can make the claim that they are all proud of our folks in the military, but we all know how deep the hatred that they have for those who defend this nation runs. After all, election after election Democrats bend over backwards to prevent these folks from voting.
