“I don’t think he’s made his case. On the American Forces Network one can listen to both Ed Shultz and Sean Hannity. Depending on a listener’s political slant and by the standards presented, either of these hosts would be excluded; Shultz on the air claiming Bush a war criminal and Hannity claiming Obama isn’t elegable. Like it or not, the vast majority of AFN listeners work for the DOD, i.e. the Executive Branch, where few concepts are more sacrosanct than that “chain of command”. If the mighty United States military can have radio hosts effectively in their employ directly attacking the very top of the command structure, I guess the IDF can tolerate a folk singer... “
They may hate the president of a different party but I don’t think even Ed (certainly not Hannity) would say about our soldiers that “In their heart is only hate, evil intention and darkness...they learn cruelly...how to instill fear...how to kill - it’s just a matter of habit.”
