Arkin really is a contemptible worm. But his attitude is pretty mainstream for the Democrat party. We need only consider the positions held by a few prominent Democrats to see this is so.

Charlie Rangel (D-New York, Chairman/House Ways & Means Committee) recently expressed his belief that no young person in their right mind would serve in Iraq — only economic desperation could force someone to enlist. (Translation: no one serving in Iraq is motivated by patriotism).

John Kerry (D-Mass., Democrat candidate for President 2004) advised an audience of college students that if they were smart and studied hard, they wouldn’t end up stuck in Iraq. (Translation: the military is a dumping ground for society’s losers).

Bill Clinton “loathed the military.” (No translation necessary).

If Arkin’s journalism career peters out, he will no doubt have a bright future as a Democrat politician.

Drongo,

If the troops are being used as political pawns, it is only because the anti-war left is so willing to use them as such.

As evidence to support my observations, we need look no farther than Ted Rall’s traitorous exploitation of Pat Tillman’s death. (Rall is syndicated in well over 100 newspapers.) Not only did the left have no problem with Rall’s ridicule of Tillman’s death, but they quickly elevated Tillman posthumously to anti-war poster boy after it was rumored Pat had been critical of the CIC.

Despite all this treasonous behavior within their own ranks, far too many on the left still have the gall to self-righteously spew the chickenhawk fallacy and smugly sneer at those who display “support our troops” magnets.

“Oh, and my â€œevidence?â€ Have you been living in a cave for the last 40 years?”

So, no then, you just look at a small sample and extrapolate it to everyone, demonising half of the population of the country as traitors.

“Gobsmackingly”? What the heck is “Gobsmackingly”? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Oh, and my “evidence?” Have you been living in a cave for the last 40 years? Why not ask for my “evidence” that the Pope is Catholic or that Sun rises in the west and sets in the east? Would you like me to fax you a picture to prove that bears crap in the woods?

Georg (#3),

Arkin’s gyrations also harken back to the Dick Durbin approach to an apology, where he is sorry that others were offended by his words.

Even though Arkin was being dead serious, surely by now some apologist for the mad/rad left has tried to float the “botched joke” on Arkin’s behalf.

“The libs donâ€™t just not â€œsupport the missionâ€â€”they hate the troops and the millitary, PERIOD, regardless of the missionâ€”at least as long as a Republican president is in the White House.”

That is an awesomly offensive thing to say and, in my experience, gobsmackingly untrue.

Where’s your evidence?
