Only once out of uniform can you truly show your core beliefs. However, his command of PACAF revealed his liberal leanings and desire to continue using the military as an incubator for liberal experiments. Never, to my memory, did he show any desire or capability of leading his forces in their role of peace keepers as envisioned by Sun Tsu.

Therefore, Gen. McPeak’s support of Obama is a continuation of his political desire to use the DOD as a social experiment as SECDEF under Obama.

so she looks like a psycho

She is a psycho, and a waste of a woman who was once beautiful.

Ann Coulter wrote a book clarifying the record about Joe McCarthy. His reputation was smeared by the very leftists he was exposing.

The same Ann Coulter who has promised to campaign for Clinton if McCain was the Republican nominee? She is too knee jerk for me, and promising to switch parties because she doesn’t like who got the most delegates is her perogative, but doesn’t it eat at her credibility as far as Republicans go? I don’t have a clue as to which side she’s batting for. On our side she calls Edwards a fag, even though he’s married with children, so she looks like a psycho. If she keeps her word, she’s going to campaign to get Clinton elected, and if she doesn’t she’s a liar.

The only thing for sure is, she’s a sensationalist and a Repulican liability. Let the Dim’s have her.

Referencing Ann Coulter is quite akin to the Lefties quoting Michael Moore. There are plenty of real historical works that discuss the same topics and are not, well….crap.

Barack is worse than McCarthy. McCarthy went after people in the state department. Barack went after Don Imus. Trent Lott was denounced without a Senate Hearing.

The use of the word “racist” presents a new tyranny meant to stop all discussion of important issues like immigration.

Barack’s style of tyranny of language is far more personal, pervasive and dangerous than anything McCarthy ever did.

Bill Clinton was trying to flush out communist?
Johan Klaus on March 22, 2008 at 1:17 AM

Yeah, He wanted them to make campaign donations.

Thanks for the clarification, Hog, I get to making assumptions about prior knowledge

Don’t confuse the issue bud, not everyone will understand. To expound on our servicemember’s remark about having an excuse for not putting the hand over the heart. I don’t know about Army and Air Force regulations, but in the Navy and Marine Corps, when the national anthem is played, Sailors and Marines will face towards the flag or the music if no flag is present and salute if in uniform and stand a rigid attention if in civvie’s, and when at “attention” the hands are along the side of the legs.

But does that come before or after you say it’s “Nazism”?

Ho hum.

McCarthy is a drunken Crusader who crusaded to far and ruined the effort to root out communist spies by his Hoover-esque behavior.

BTW, I dont know if you are the Captain’s love-child from 30 years ago or what, but you sound like an idiot stalking him from board to board and attacking him.

Mojave Mark on March 22, 2008 at 12:08 AM

I dont put my hand over my heart, but I have the excuse of being a servicemember, I am supposed to standat attention when in civvies :)

I love it. The Patron Saint of the Democratic party is being eaten by its own. Someone pass the salt and get out of the way.

The rebuke of the Clinton era is coming full circle. His wife will not be coronated, his reputation and personhood have been deminished, and the accomplishments of his administration have been brought into sharp relief.

I’d say Clinton has been denied 3 times.

The Obama guy is just 100% wrong to say this. It is just not true. Bill Clinton is nothing like the America loving, commie hating, patriotic cold warrior Joe McCarthy.

Too funny.

Sort of a funny corollary to Godwin’s law is provided by jonah goldberg:

Definition of a fascist: A conservative winning a debate

It’s easter weekend. I find it hard to believe Jesus will invoke Hitler during his resurrection weekend. Clinton would be stupid to do so. Give it time.

lorien1973 on March 22, 2008 at 12:14 AM

i may be misunderstanding the law, but it seems that if the left thinks that mccarthy=hitler (which is a fair assumption, no?), then godwin’s law has already been invoked here.

calling clinton mccarthy = calling clinton hitler = godwin’s law.

just a thought…

No, he’s just trying to find a friend :)

Looked to me like the author was just basing it from the how would play out from the enemy perspective.

Buddahpundit on March 22, 2008 at 2:29 AM

Or as a sober person might put it. “Looked to me like the author was just basing it on how it would be seen from the enemy perspective”

petit bourgeois on March 22, 2008 at 1:18 AM

Nothing wrong with the photo. That was a photo of McCarthy at his finest.

Yes, real Garveyism going on this election.

Furthermore, McCarthy told the truth about Communists, and Bill is, implicitly, telling the truth about his wife and Obama and their lack of interest in the well-being of the country.

The more you think about the comparison, the more the absurdity drains away…and is replaced by irony.
