Tony Blankley...McLaughlin Group...Calls Military "Cowards"
I couldn't believe this one...on the McLaughlin Group, this former Gingrich propagandist...now on the payroll of the Moonie Times...said that John Murtha's criticism were all but treasonous. He then added that if the Generals and other military types are afraid to tell booosh what's going on in Iraq, they're "Cowards".

So now it's the military's top brass that's the problem, eh, big Tony?

1. Let me guess. Chickenhawk?
I honestly don't know what his background is- but most of these tend be pampered chickenshits with a mean streak.

2. Heard the ass on NPR last night w/ Scheer and Huffington..
He was borderline hysterical. Screaming on NPR of all places.

They are lashing out frantically, on the brink of devouring their young.

Everybody's fault but their own.

3. On FOX, Tony Blankley called Soros "a Jew who figured out a way to survive
the halocaust." He's such a skank.

4. I Hope Someone Captured This
They only air this once in Chicago, or I'd roll tape...this one really blew me away. I'm used to Blankless' "Thurston Howell III" arrogance, but to go after the military like that really says how detached these goons have really gotten from reality. This would be a great video to send to your favorite military member.

5. Yeah, he's such an extreme, hateful guy..
Almost on the same "evil" level as Cheney. But interior-wise.

On his exterior, he's Cheney's opposite -- a cute, adorable teddy bear. He doesn't look villainous at all. More huggable than anything..!

BLANKLEY, LET ME HUG YOU, YOU BIG FAT TEDDY BEAR!

remarks about "the Jew" Soros trying to destroy Christmas.

7. I doubt that bloated ass ever did anything more physical in his life
than move his hand to his mouth.

I'll bet a thousand bucks he was NOT in the military.

9. ...and you'd be rich!:
He is an immigrant to the United States from the United Kingdom. He was a child actor appearing as Rod Steiger's child in "The Harder They Fall" (1955). He attended UCLA and Loyola University Law School in Los Angeles and spent the next 10 years as a prosecutor at the California Attorney General's Office before joining the Washington, D.C. staff of a newly elected Congresswoman, Bobbi Fiedler, in 1980.

8. I would have to agree with him that........
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 07:57 PM by Bonhomme Richard
"if the Generals and other military types are afraid to tell booosh what's going on in Iraq, they're "Cowards".
If they knew and didn't tell him then they are cowards but my suspicion is that they did tell the shrub and he just doesn't give a shit.
That I would believe.

10. Remeber General Shinsheki? (SP)
Telling "the boss" the truth gets you fired.

From one who used to think the military was all evil (my Vietnam days never are too far behind), I now have a very sympathetic view...even to some of the brass, who have been forced to compromise any sense of humanity because it was "an order".

My greatest hopes are one day a tribunal will bring us all the truth and deserved justice for all those who propogated this illegal invasion along with those who abetted it.

19. You don't get it, do you?
When you wear the uniform it is nearly imposible to upload anything but good news to your superiors. You can call it cowardice but it comes to nothing- Keep your mouth shut and your carrier on track.

12. If they are afraid of telling Bush the truth,
that makes them pretty much worthless.

15. What if they are telling Bush* the truth, but he doesn't listen?
Seems he only listens to his chosen few - Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, Gonzales, et at.

Commander Bunnypants! :puke: Shouldn't the CIC demand to know what going on in his deliberate war? :shrug: If the Generals are afraid to tell Pinhead the real deal, what does that say about his 'leadership'? This whole thing is sickening!

16. I get it.
If a Dem says something negative about The War or the military, it demoralizes the troops, but if a Repub says something negative about The War or the military, it boosts morale?

21. "They Own The Flag"
That red, white and blue gymnast suit on mean Jean Schmidt said it all. 30 years ago, Abby Hoffman attempted to wear a flag shirt on Dick Cavett and ABC censored him. This twit literally wrapped herself in the flag.

The problem with this self-destructive game is they're now running up against the "military regulars"...the combination of lifetime legislators, military types and the intelligence community that are finally showing signs of tiring of being shat upon by this regime.

Cheers...

Rockefeller’s Treachery
By Joan Swirsky
Dec 2, 2005

SNIP

Traitors

What is the difference between the kind of gutter politics Democrats routinely engage in for political gain and treason? If treason is, as The American Heritage Dictionary defines it – the betrayal of one’s country by consciously and purposefully acting to aid its enemies – then certainly those who abet our enemies while American troops are putting their lives on the line to defend our country are guilty as charged.

The following statements reinforce this point:

Bill Tierney, speaking about Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) citing a single source to “prove” no connection between Iraq and Al Queda: “Senator Levin, and his media servants think the public can’t read through his duplicity. He is plunging a dagger into the heart of his own country.”

The FederalistPatriot.com: “The dishonest and politically motivated accusations of Kennedy, Reid, Durbin and their ilk, however, are nothing short of – and we don't use this term lightly – treasonous…how else to describe political leaders who so eagerly embolden our Jihadi enemies and erode the morale of our fighting forces in Iraq and around the world?”

(SNIP)

Jennifer King, a writer, has said that Sen. Rockefeller is “privy to wartime intelligence and thus…should feel compelled to stand on the side of his country during a war against an infinitely evil and implacable enemy. That he feels compelled, instead, to take the side of the enemy speaks volumes about the Democrat agenda and vision for the future.”

(SNIP)

Don Bendell, former officer in four Special Forces Groups, including a tour on a green beret A-team in Vietnam in 1968-1969: “Wesley Clark, you are a retired Army general and John Murtha, a retired Marine colonel. Did you two completely forget a code of honor, supporting our troops, and tenacity in the face of adversity? Yes, you did, all for politics, which is empirically more important to you than the safety and psychological well being of our fighting men and women from whose ranks you rose. How many men under your commands died, so you could betray their legacy of courage by talking about cutting and running in the midst of a war? How dare you aid and abet the enemies of freedom, of democracy, of man’s inherent right to live without oppression, because of your egomaniacal visions…”

I'm going to break this out so more people see it...
