Personally I have had nothing but contempt for Ms. Clift for as long as I can remember. Her constant "spinning" for Clinton during the impeachment hearings was lacking in only that she wasn't wearing a cheerleading outfit with a huge letter "C" on it.

This latest blathering out of this Anti-American idiot goes beyond the pale. I know that Newsweak will not do the "right" thing in firing this moron, but they should!

...wasn't wearing a cheerleading outfit with a huge letter "C" on it.

In her case, I wouldn't interpret the "C" to stand for Clinton. :=)

[RexBeach]

Another ugly and bitter feminist. Good Lord. Does anything make these people smile?

[SIDENET]

We call it 'volunteers,' but we're basically paying people to serve their country

Does this dunce think that we shouldn't be paid for serving? We have bills, too.

"A group that supports the U.S. military is demanding an apology from Newsweek magazine's Eleanor Clift, who recently characterized America's armed forces as a "mercenary Army."

The Kaiser derided the British army as an "army of mercenaries," too.

Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries
A.E. Housman

These in the day when heaven was falling
The hour when Earth's foundations fled
Followed their mercenary calling
Took their wages and are dead.

Their shoulders held the sky suspended
They stood, and Earth's foundations stay.
What God abandoned, these defended
And saved the sum of things for pay.

So any soldier who receives any compensation is a mercenary. By her definition, every soldier ever has been a mercenary.

She's even stupider than I previously thought, and I previously thought she was stupider than a paperclip.

I gave up on the "McLaughlin Group" years ago.
I don't know how Tony Blankley(if he's still on the show) stomachs it.

[Spok]

"Personally I have had nothing but contempt for Ms. Clift for as long as I can remember. Her constant "spinning" for Clinton during the impeachment..."

This is exactly when and why I stopped watching McLaughlin Group. Clift is the quintessential insufferable _______ (if I filled in the blank with what I'm thinking, I'd be banned.)

[Gumlegs]

Does Eleanor accept money for what she does?

[Burlem]

Clift is such a dour old broad, she and the editor of "The Nation" Katrina Vandervol. I don't think either smile much.

What is interesting about the ultra left women is they either act like these two, "The world is ending attitude" or they constantly chuckle and shake their heads when on a TV political talk show.

[winner3000]

Based on her definition, isn't everybody who has a job a mercenary? What an ignorant thing to say.

[trubluolyguy]

What a disgusting b!tch.

[concrete is my business]

I used to go to the State Fair every year and the military recruitment area was big with lots of tanks and vehicles and cannons, etc.

It did not look to me like they were trying to fool anyone about what they do.

Hey Eleanor, maybe some people just want to drive tanks and shoot guns.

[Alien Gunfighter]

Mercenary? Yawn. Heard it said before, bored with it, moving on.

[Michael.SF.]

We call it 'volunteers,' but we're basically paying people to serve their country

So John Kerry was a mercenary in Vietnam then, after all he was paid.

[joesnuffy]

To the left NO war is worth fighting for..except the one that furthers their interest.. During the French & Indian War she would have been on the French side

At Valley Forge she would have been a British Spy a Tory for sure

During the Civil War would have been an angry slave owner

WWI the Kaisers dinner date

WWII Tojo and Hitler her kissing cousins

Korea on the side of both Red China, the Soviets and N Koreans

Vietnam...no doubt where she would have been...loading the triple A Jane Fonda was filmed manning..

In every conflict America has defended itself or the principles of freedom brought to the oppressed she would be on the side of the oppressor as she is now...

Her kind is a disgrace..those who take license for liberty freedom to destroy the very nation whose soldiers blood was shed that she might be free to betray them..and the nation that has given her everything good thing she now enjoys.

Eleanor Klift and Hillary Klinton are just like sisters; joined at the hip.

She, like her sister, has yet to utter an intelligent sentence!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

A there but for the grace of God-ping-a-ling.

[Brad’s Gramma]

"But I think what we're coming to grips with is the fact that we actually have a mercenary Army," Clift said, according to a transcript of "The McLaughlin Group" program.

Eleanor? You are an idiot. Just shut up. Go home. Quit working. Seek help.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Eleanor Clift always has been, and always be, a complete idiot with not the slightest clue who has secured her right to say the stupid stuff she does.
