This is pretty high up there when it comes to insane talking points. But what do you expect - anyone who is still defending this War has to be a complete fool.
Three points are attempted to be made with this silly propaganda.
* "Only" 39 US combat deaths in a month.
* Democrats historically start all the wars.
* Big cities overwhelmingly elect democrats as mayors and big cities tend to have high levels of poverty.
I love how murders in the city of Detroit is used to compare with one month of combat deaths.
It makes me nostalgic for the single greatest gaffe in VP history. Here's what Bob Dole said at the 1976 Vice President debate:
"I figured it up the other day: If we added up the killed and wounded in Democrat wars in this century, it would be about 1.6 million Americans — enough to fill the city of Detroit"
And you wonder how Jimmy Carter got elected in '76?
