earl broclo ESQ Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Anyone else watch Real Time with Bill Maher tonight? He had Richard Tillman, the brother of Pat Tillman, on as a guest tonight. The interview covered the new documentary about his brother's death and the cover up the government and media did with it. I'm not going to tell you the whole story because you can get the jist of it if you watch this whole interview. http://www.dailypaul.com/node/142038 The reason I'm making this thread though, is because John McCain and Maria Shriver got up at his brother's memorial and gave a bunch of "Pat is with God now" and "Pat is in a better place," the usual memorial stuff. The thing is John McCain was actually part of the cover up in Congress (I think), and it seems like a slap in the face for him to say anything at the memorial if that's the case. So after McCain says all this "God" stuff, Richard Tillman gets up and gives his speech directing it towards all the other speakers. You can see his response @7:29 in the clip above. I applaud this man. Here's the trailer for the documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaMAVAqef7I Looks like it will be pretty good. You should also try and catch the interview with his brother and Bill Maher. I'm sure it will be on Hulu or something. It's actually on right now if you have HBO and live on the East Coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Re: Kevin Tillman, I applaud you. My suspicion was that Pat Tillman was fragged for a long time. It wasn't until I heard someone on a radio show connected with the Tillman's saying that the whole family knew it, and Pat was writing letters home about all the corrupt shit going on that I really knew it was true. About to watch this interview. Glad they finally came out publicly with this info. RIP Pat. Still a hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl broclo ESQ Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Re: Kevin Tillman, I applaud you. Yeah, I never knew about all the cover up. I just watched some of the C-SPAN clips on youtube and read a little more in some articles. It's pretty fucked up.

lord_casek Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Re: Kevin Tillman, I applaud you. It was always my hope that this would all come out so this man wouldn't die in vein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl broclo ESQ Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 By the way, his brother is Richard Tillman --not Kevin. My bad. Having the right name would have helped when I was searching for videos. Here's the Bill Maher interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ9OYg1itT8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfffffffffft Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 i remember him cracking heads on the field he is a hero either way but its a shame the government has to glorify his story and produce a lie to "boost moral" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 They did the same thing to the Lynch girl. Made her out to be something she wasn't. All kinds of people around her died after she got home, too. Shut her up really quickly after she came out about the lie the govt manufactured.
