Republicans vs. Veterans 3-0 (rant)
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 11:46 PM by LiberalAndProud
Will the GOP never cease making light of true service to country?

Kerry -> Valarie Wilson (nee Plame), et. al. -> Hackett

Support our troops
Smear our soldiers?!

It makes me ill.

3. My dad was a career marine DI (retired).........
The night of the purple heart band aid crap he actually cried and said he would have never enlisted if he knew it would come to this....

9. That broke my heart to read that, I knew many would feel that way
I could not believe the callousness that followed that disgusting display, and it was only the beginning...

I hope he realizes that NOT all rational and sane Americans thought that something worth making fun of...

11. Of course.... he just couldn't believe the sitting CIC

would pull something like that off. I think that's what he truly was upset about. On the plus side he's never voting for a republican again. And he voted for Regan Twice.

16. Well frankly nor could I, they are low yes, but that was trully the lowest
and still is since the degration of our Military is still allowed when it is being used to hurt a Dem and or Liberal individual, it should sicken all veterans that our own president and company did not denouce this behavior loud enough....

It should have been a wake up call for many at that very moment, I am surprised at how long it took for some to understand the implications of the viciousnous and uncaring towards all Americans by those that lead this country especially in a time of such uncertainity with this war.

4. Chuck Hagel falls out of favor with Bush's Party every time he dares
speak the truth.

I think Bush's Party cares not for the wisdom of our Warriors.

5. Conservatives have no real values,
They bellow about burning the flag, while they wipe their ass with it. Real freedom, real sacrafice, real America, these are things for them to sneer at.

7. I hope those that serve in the forces understand that.
Seems like there all pro-Bush. But those like Bolton and Chenny never served. And they let Rove take shot at our Vets.

Support the troops, ALL the troops, not just the Republican troops.

10. The hypocrisy certainly astounds.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 11:54 PM by deadparrot
Doubtless Hackett would be akin to a god to the GOP if he was running with an (R) next to his name.

I don't agree with Hackett on every issue, and I most certainly don't agree with every opinion of every soldier. But I can respect them for their service. I can lay off because they did something that I don't think I could ever do in going over to a warzone, literally hell on earth, and risking their lives. I would never in a million years trample on someone's military service, no matter how much I loathed their words or actions, and I wouldn't use their military career as a means of slander.

Now, Mr. Hackett will return to Iraq. My prayers are with him and his family.

13. It's what he's said in at least two different interviews...
if he lost, he said he would return for another tour. :(

14. WOW! Of course you realize, he'll never come back alive.
The man has PROVEN that he is VERY DANGEROUS to the
AntiAmerican Fascists currently in power.
Folks like that have a long tradition of "untimely demise".

Going back to Iraq just makes his assasination
SOOO much easier.

I'm very sad to hear of it.
