Write NBC and tell them he's got to go.

Better yet, write the sponsors of the programs that he's on.

Another non-apology from a lefty scum.

"I sincerely apologize to anyone in the military who took my words literally."

In other words, it's everyone else's fault because they didn't take his words illiterally.

"I sincerely apologize to anyone in the military who took my words literally."

You are a writer, that is how you make your living.

You know what you write has meaning. You meant it.

You got called on it and now you backtrack?

Stand up for what you believe! Stand up and defend your words!

You are a troop hating leftist sissy.

His first line in this articlestates;

"I knew when I used the word "mercenary" in my Tuesday column that I was being highly inflammatory."

Which means he chose the word carefully and not only knew what affect it would have, but counted on it. Like a typical liberal, he then claims he was misunderstood.

The public has duties, but not to the American military.

No civil comment can be made.

Well, I tried to be civil on this comment. I just can't get over the ignorance of this guy trying say that the military is not the "public". They ARE part of the American public. What is more, for each man/woman in the military, there are dozens of extended family members not in the military (which seems to be his definition of the public) that support them, and they DO vote. This is why the left is trying so hard with the "We support the troops, but not mission" creed. It's BS, and we see it. They are spitting on the troops even before they come home. I'm sick of it.
