OUTRAGE: Reid Called Pace 'Incompetent'...
The Politico ^ | Jun 14, 2007 06:21 AM EST | John Bresnahan

Posted on 06/14/2007 6:20:04 AM PDT by enough_idiocy

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "incompetent" during an interview Tuesday with a group of liberal bloggers, a comment that was never reported.

Meanwhile, the moron confirmed Pace just a short while ago. I guess Reid's judgment post-war vote is as good as it was pre-war vote - these people think highly of themselves yet they keep voting for things they later call incompetent, not the mark of good judgment and competence if you ask me.

THIS IS BEYOND HIS WORST SIN. This is a rallying cry for all Americans, this is a non partisan issue. Gen. Pace served his nation for decades and has accomplished much. It is repulsive that he would disrespect a man in uniform while his whimpy pathetic self hasn't accomplished a damn thing other than sweet real estate deals. The GOP phones should be ringing off the hook. He should be forced to apologize in person to Gen. Pace.

PLEASE PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS - CALL/EMAIL THE GOP, THE MEDIA, AND RIGHT-MIND BLOGS SITES NOW! REID HAS GONE WAY TOO FAR THIS TIME. THEY SUPPORT OUR TROOPS BY CALLING THEM INCOMPETENT.

"Hello Kettle... This is Pot."

Harry Reid is holding the wrong office. He should be the Mayor of Dementiaville. The only thing wrong with Peter Pace is that he had the courage to say what he truly believes.

And OBTW, there is nothing the left hates more than a conservative with courage.

Pace has nothing to lose. If the Democrats want to drag the military into politics in this country, let the battle begin. I hope Gen Pace fires back immediately.

In the same meeting he also said the same thing about General Petraeus while promising to bring amendments to evry piece of ligislation with withdrawal timetables.

How about calling Reid’s office and demanding answers? That’s what I’m doing to start (as well as sending this article/link around to all the blogs). Please take 2 minutes to do likewise. Bush threw Pace under the bus, he deserves more from us.

So should we do nothing? They’ve responded to Reid’s stupidity before, I’m sure they’ll stand up for Pace if made aware of this - particularly those who wore the uniform themselves.

I’m sorry,but having too much class isn’t the issue here. When any military person is chastized by a member of the Congress, especially one of the leaders, then in my book all bets are off. Pace ought to come out and say that Reid is a first class son-of-a-bitch, and that he would love to have the opportunity to kick the living crap out of the P.O.S. Senator and do it in front of the cameras for the whole world to see. That would stop the little worms from their insidious and treasonous actions against our Armed Forces, and I, for one, would love to see it!

“Reid is a VILE, VENIAL, EVIL person.” He is all that but notice who his audience was for this statement. He is also the designated Democratic lion tamer. It’s his job to say outrageous things to placate the extreme leftist groups so they will leave others alone and not notice that little in the way of radical change is actually happening. The radicals eat this up and go take a nap for a little while. When they wake and get riled again, Reid will say something else outrageous to put the leftie lion back to sleep. For all we know, this role he plays is exactly why he got his position in the Senate leadership and if he ever fails to carry it out, he will also be out of the role. The Democrats are scared of the radical left in their own party but this is no new tactic. The radical right has been lulled off in the same manner, though perhaps not so blatantly.

Well, by God, if Peter Pace is incompetent, how does one describe Harry Reid?

I’ll give it a try: Mr. Reid is a whining, hand wringing, supercilious blow hard who couldn’t find his own butt with both hands.

How’s that?

If Reid was comparing Gen. Pace to himself, then Pace is an incompetent as a liar, cheat, miscreant, thug, whiner, demagogue, back-stabbing reprobate.

Also see this clap-trap from the article:

Reid, who was bashed by Republicans for suggesting earlier this year that the Iraq war was "lost," is lashing out at top commanders while putting the finishing touches on a plan to force a series of votes on Iraq designed exclusively to make Republicans up for reelection in 2008 go on record in favor of continuing an unpopular war.

Reid, the senators and aides said, does not expect any of the Iraq measures to pass but hopes the effort will drive a deep enough wedge between wavering Republicans and Bush that, by September, Republican senators will break with the president and help end the war.

It is time to start a concerted campaign exposing Sen. Harry "Dirt Bag" Reid, for what he really is, a moonbat of the lowest order, who cares not a fig for our Military. We should bombard his Senate and local Nevada offices with letters, phone calls, faxes, emails and more for all of the tricks he has pulled on an unsuspecting public, including his own supporters, with the Shamnesty Bill in the Senate, and his latest attempt to smear and undermine our Commander in Chief and Military leaders, and by extension our brave frontline troops in harms way.

Agreed. The dems won in 06 because of relentless attacks on the GOP. Non-stop media airing of each “mistep.” The dems from Jefferson to the “war is lost” to Plame lied to Feinstein war profiting get one day of air time and then it’s swept under the rug.

The GOP has no chance unless it consistently attacks the dems for their hypocrisy and crimes.

Here's the reply I just posted to his web site:

Dear Sir,

I am writing you this morning because of your recently published comments concerning or militaries commanders.

"Incompetent" sir?!

Quite frankly that is a disgusting attitude for a senator in your position and an apology is due to the JCOS and the American people.

How dare you, you vile little man!

The problem with Reid is that he doesn’t seem to realize that the U.S. military is much more of a meritocracy than is the U.S. Senate. Reid got elected by a few thousand votes a few times and pretty much for just being in the Senate longer in a diluted pool of dimbulbs found himself as the majority leader of the dimmest just over half of the dimbulbs. If Peter Pace is “incompetent”, does anyone know what word we should us for Harry Reid?

This idiot has once again declared war against our President and our Military.

There would have been far fewer American casualties had it not been for the rats giving our enemies the aid, comfort and motivation to continue killing Americans.

Clearly, this is Treason.

Actually, if you ever saw CASINO (with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci), the Gaming Board Commissioner was, at the time, headed up by none other than Dingy Harry. This was a deliberate swipe at him.

Between him and his nepotistic progeny, I'm surprised the whole state of Nevada isn't as corrupt, if not more so, than Louisiana.
