Bill Moyer (veteran)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Moyer is an American veteran who served in the post World War II occupation of Germany. He would later go on to serve in both Korea and Vietnam.
Moyer is perhaps best known for wearing a "Bullshit Protector" during President Bush's speech at the VFW national convention in Salt Lake City, Utah.
During February 2006 emails began circulating around Bush/GOP supporters with the picture along with erroneous text, claiming that it was a speech by a Democratic politician:
The text of the erroneous email follows:
"You've got to love our Veterans. Bill Moyer, 73, wears a protective flap over his ear while Senator Ted Kennedy addresses the Veterans of Foreign Wars."
The latest incarnation of the hoax e-mail, found in June 2007, substitutes the name of Hillary Clinton for Kennedy.
