OH-02: Hackett Fires Back
by DavidNYC
Tue Jul 26th, 2005 at 14:18:26 PDT

Chickenhawk cowards have been disgracefully maligning Paul Hackett's service record and that of eleven dead soldiers and marines. Hackett is a fighter, though, and he won't take crap like that lying down. In an article in Salon today, he fires back with heavy artillery:

Schmidt commends Hackett for his service, but believes Hackett should "stand with the president" by "supporting the Iraqi war effort and our troops that are over there," her campaign manager Joe Braun said. (Through Braun, Schmidt declined to speak with Salon.)

When asked to answer that charge, Hackett is blunt: "The only way I know how to support the troops is by going over there." He doesn't hesitate to criticize Schmidt's support of the war: "All the chicken hawks back here who said, 'Oh, Iraq is talking bad about us. They're going to threaten us' - look, if you really believe that, you leave your wife and three kids and go sign up for the Army or Marines and go over there and fight. Otherwise, shut your mouth."

10. Recommended...

This guy already has impressed me beyond belief. I cannot believe he is on our side. If he wins and continues this kind of talk he could very well end up in the highest office. He is definately someone all of us could rally behind.

11. kick

[union_maid]

12. That's the way to talk

True, in this instance this guy can back up what he's saying in a very real way. But really, Democrats need to start answering more like this all the time. If it's genuine, people respond to that. Especially if it can be said in two sentences or less.
