We must fight man made global stupidity.

It is a crisis. Every day I see reports of global stupidity levels rising.

This problem cannot be solved by mere intellectual “offset” credits.

They’re just displaying their patriotism.

We just have to figure for what country.

(Code Pink Founder: “I Wouldn’t Characterize Anybody Who Fought in Vietnam As A War Hero.”)

Thats okay PINKO. As a Vietnam era Veteran and an American, I would not characterize or consider YOU to be an American, so anything you have to say is pretty much less then dog crap..............

I’ve heard readings of transcipts of what the men with McCain suffered and did while in captivity.

Hand making their own American flag to continue their loyalty to this country, an action that cause further beatings for one of the men and yet he made another flag for the group.

An elaborate code system by which they communicated (one of the men could hear radio broadcasts and shared news).

If I recall, McCain was offered an opportunity to leave but he was not permitted to take the other men with him so he declined.

If the Code Pinko’s headline quote can be taken on its face value, if NO US servicemen were “heroes” in Vietnam, and we know about the “war criminals”, is it a stretch to tie the Left’s rhetoric together and think that maybe they believe that McCain and the others DESERVED the torture they received at the hands of the North Vietnamese Communists?

It was not that the Left thought that we were wrong to intervene in a civil war. The Communists on the Left wanted a North Vietnamese Communist VICTORY over South Vietnam. Jane Fonda said we’d ALL hope to live under Communism if we were only bright enough to understand what it was.

Yes. Did he neglect to mention that to you?

He probably ALSO forgot to tell you that he won three purple hearts over there...

(That is just one toxic outburst is a collection of indefensible comments from the radical fringe of the Democratic Party laughably called “progressives)

radical fringe of the Democrat Party???
Surely you jest.
This is standard DNC issued rethoric.
This is bread and butter from the campaigns of both Clinton and Obama.
This is everyday Democrat Party Machine talking point material.

>> Code Pink Founder: “I Wouldn’t Characterize Anybody Who Fought in Vietnam As A War Hero.”

Then I remain glad that you are on the extreme fringe of American society.

Only a truly disturbed individual can consider an obnoxious pink-wearing hag that has never sacrificed anything in her pathetic little life a “hero”, and John McCain — a veteran that sacrificed 5-years of his life to a POW Camp, and lost the ability to raise his arms above his shoulders — a “non-hero”.

Heroes sacrifice. Obnoxious twits merely bitch at those who sacrifice.

Looks like the trolls are out and about once again. You’d think after all these years they wouldn’t be so obvious.

As a matter of fact, they do indeed think that their interment and torture in North Vietnam was punishment for their war crimes. Read on:

From Politico: I know and like McCain," said Tom Hayden, a former California state senator and prominent anti-war activist. "From my own perspective and that of many anti-war activists of that era, the fact that he bombed North Vietnam some 25 times, probably killing civilians, gets blurred with the facts that he suffered through that long prison ordeal, then also went on to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"It's like asking a guy that served his jail term here — you'd say he's done his time so that's behind him," Hayden said.

Ah, so this is the game or playbook that they are going to go by. Were they not the same gum flappers, that stated that anyone who did not fight or served was a chickenhawk? Word-up to the 527-mouthpieces for the candidate-those middle name cannot be mentioned, we know the game you are playing and we will not roll over and let you get away with this crap./Just Asking - seoul62........

Theposter's point is valid. Mere service does not make one a hero. By posting this minor truth, the poster is not attempting to become the arvbiter of who is and is not a hero.

It's quite simple, really. Kerry was in VietNam. He was not a hero. Ergo, not everyone who goes in-country is a hero.

Code Pink headquarters would be a great site for a napalm test range, or maybe a dump site for all the remaining agent orange. What a knot of puss-soaked crones. How in the name of God did we ever become tolerant of such trash?
