Serviceman Shouted Down at YearlyKos

littlegreenfootballs.com — The American Prospect: AN ODD CLOSE. As the Military and Progressives panel came to an end, a young man in uniform stood up to argue that the surge was working, and cutting down on Iraqi casualties. The moderator largely freaked out....He obviously wasn't up listening to facts.

Who dugg this?

  • davenp35, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32So when a REAL soldier speaks and confronts them with the truth, they shout him down and attack him...sounds about right for the Dems.
  • bluto36, on 10/10/2007, -2/+29whats wrong with shouting down a soldier speaking the truth? isn't that the liberal fairness doctrine?
  • Weeha, on 10/10/2007, -2/+29One brave person in a room full of tin foil hats.
  • bluto36, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26the only Soldier the KosKiddies would support is the one fragging his chain of command

    progressive democratics are now "supporting the troops" by stalking them to their homes and shooting them point blank in the chest. http://digg.com/politics/Deranged_Moonbat_Shoots_Airman_on_Fourth_of_July
  • jackman0654, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23This officer did not violate any regulation by his comment or question. These bastards need shut down for good. They really support the troops huh?
  • JohnReb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21The officer being in uniform at what amounts to a political meeting is certainly questionable. But not something that would likely get him more than a mild chewing out if it's a first offense.

    Shouting him down and closing the meeting to avoid responding to him is sheer cowardice.
  • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/10/2007, -5/+24Not to invoke Godwin... but... Kos Kids have more in common with Brown Shirts than they like to believe.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19Waiting for the compulsery "I am a war vet, and 911 was an inside job" asshat to show up in the discussion!

    Nothing is worse than scum pretending to be vets(on the internet), because they watched "born on the 4rth of july" at age 8!
  • spankaccount, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18It's clear that the moonbats at DailyKos don't want people to hear whats really going on in Iraq. And they especially don't want people to hear it from a serviceman.

    Kos kids are so disgusting and dishonest...
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16aaaaaahhh yes, the whacko Radical left-wing DiggBotts should be here any minute now!
  • slrepublicans, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17liberals are fine. by all means save your party from the radical progressive extremists who have siezed it and corrupted it.
  • SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/10/2007, -6/+17I hate to say it but the guy was wrong to wear his uniform:
    FTA:
    The applicable reference for Army personnel is para 1-10, AR 670-1:

    j. Wearing Army uniforms is prohibited in the following situations:
    (3) When attending any meeting or event that is a function of, or is sponsored by, an extremist organization.
    (4) When wearing the uniform would bring discredit upon the Army.

    and
    3.1.1. At any meeting or demonstration that is a function of, or sponsored by an organization, association, movement, group, or combination of persons that the Attorney General of the United States has designated, under Executive Order 10450 as amended (reference (c)), as totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive, or as having adopted a policy of advocating or approving the commission of acts of force or violence to deny others their rights under the Constitution of the United States, or as seeking to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means.

    Kos is an evil organization after all...
  • slrepublicans, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13while you're at it, open a google search. type in "progressives hate the troops" (without the quotes) and come back and tell me what comes up.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10what part of spankaccount's post did he say "LGF'ers" are "righteous" and "honest"???

    Could it be that you magically somehow changed the subject?

  • Hortnon, on 10/10/2007, -12/+5I hate generalizations like this. For one, generalizations are *****. Also, I'm a liberal soldier.
  • haydesigner, on 10/10/2007, -13/+2How myopic of all of you.
