Good. Hope he convicnces the Democrat Leadership that this is a winning tactic for them. Time to demand the Democrats come out of the closet like this writer did.
Ahhh, perfect. An unvarnished, PERFECT example of the left in this country - a man who has, by his own admission, never served his country in any respect (even jury duty, as he proudly proclaims), casting a baleful glare at the armed forces that are, to him, nothing more than an "imperialist tool" of the United States. The more people that read it, the better. Just get a mop for all the vomit.
One again, another liberal whackjob who thinks 9/11 was a made for TV movie. It didn't really happen, so why are we off killing terrorists(oops, freedom fighters) in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Are these people honest-to-God serious? What would these people fight for? How about OBL coming up the Potomac river on gunboats? Would they lob some mortar shells at OBL from GW's backyard at Mount Vernon? Or would they try to reason with the man? Try a more compassionate way to fight terrorism? Honestly, I think they'd chose the latter.
Surely, there must be something these people would fight for? What then?
Not to mention butch as all git out.
Joel Klein is not a typical liberal. He wrote a column (last week I think?) in which he told how he made Maureen Dowd mad and now she won't accept any wine from him in a restaurant LOL! It was a funny piece.
He's being honest, which is rare on their side. And it's refreshing to read.
This guy has every right to oppose the war, just like he can stand in traffic and blame Bush or Rove or Halliburton if a car hits him. It doen't make him right, but then again, that's why they're call 'opinions'. Still, he's honestly conveying his opinions, unlike the wusses who can not reconcile the gulf between what the say and what they really feel.
This guy ain't fit to shine a soldier's boots.
I have to agree that he is one of the few liberals simply stating what should be obvious: you cannot support the troops if you cannot support their mission.
People who claim to support the troops but denounce the war are cowards at worst or confused at best.
Is he the wussy? Reading crap like this only makes me prouder for serving. He wouldn't have any idea what service was all about. Wussy.
"But it's really not that easy to say because anyone remotely affiliated with the military could easily beat me up, and I'm listed in the phone book."
What's funny is that if he thought for a second that anyone WOULD come and beat him up, he wouldn't have said it. Liberals, generally, are the worst kind of cowards.
His column on Dowd was funny. She must be one humourless prig.
..I'm a wuss..
Yes she must be.
I understand the guilt. We know we're sending recruits volunteersto do our dirty work, and we want to seem grateful.
We *are* grateful, dirtbag.
And you should be, too.
Not directed at seanmerc.... I understand the guilt. We know we're sending recruits to do our dirty work, and we want to seem grateful.

By the way, calling him a wuss is an insult to wusses everywhere.
I just finished reading the piece on Drudge's web site and had to come over here to express how outraged I am. I have absolutely had it with leftists and their pollyannish view of the world. What they fail to understand is human nature, and one undeniable truth about human nature is that bullies will be bullies until someone gives it right back to them twice as hard. I learned that little lesson in grade school, but these overprotected, facile wimps think Osama bin Laden and company will just give up their murderous ways if only we would try to understand them and be sensitive to their needs. What a load of crap!
The right to kill unborn babies perhaps?
We already know.
Violent "resistance" at WTO meetings & Republican conventions; armed attacks on Republican campaign offices; ELF/ALF "actions"; destruction of GM seed test plots; relentless use of the judicial system to obtain 'legislation' they couldn't get legislatively enacted...the list goes on & on.
OTOH, very little of that is "for"; almost all of it is "against".
Their motto is, "Birkenstocks & tofu for all, paid for by none!"
"One again, another liberal whackjob who thinks 9/11 was a made for TV movie. It didn't really happen, so why are we off killing terrorists(oops, freedom fighters) in Iraq and Afghanistan?"
As George Carlin once said;
"If crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight?"
The left is entirely correct labeling terrorists as freedom fighters.
I am working on a book involving a war between the United States and an alliance between China and Mexico and you should have heard the screams this brought when I presented some of my sample chapters.
