Isn’t that the democrats’ position? “Critical of the war”? Isn’t Soltz staking out a political position by acting as a moderator at the KOS convention?

Why is the KOS convention a political event?

Perhaps because Democratic candidates, pols and wonks were there in abundance, and the topic was, uhhh, politics?

Just asking …

You say “rallies and political events”. Are you admitting that the Kos Konvention is nothing more than an arm of the Democrat Party even though it was billed as a “blogger” convention? If that is the case, the Soltz and his VoteVets group needs to be looked at since they claim 501c4 status. And don’t think it can’t happen. The Crawford Peace House, with Mother Moonbat on the board of directors, touted 501 status. Ooops, seems they never received, or even applied for, 501 status and according to Texas state law, now the directors are on the hook for all the back taxes they owe. Even wonder why Mother Moonbat made such a quick exit from the ditch?
Now since you seem to have more information than I have been able to gleen from the internet about Sgt. Aguila, I am sure you won’t mind providing us with the “other” rallies and political events he has attended.
Or are you like the rest of the leftist world, just throw something out there and see if it sticks?

I didn’t know that expressing your professional military opinion on an ongoing operation that your comrades are fighting in was unconscionable political activism. I’m pretty sure blowing your top at an NCO because he said something you didn’t like politically is.

First of all, any military members anywhere saying that the surge is working should not be accused of political activism, they should be lauded for their good morale and belief in the mission. The surge is only a political question because the moonbats have made it one. It’s a classic “I win-you lose” set-up. They make the surge a political issue and complain when soldiers defend it because it’s “political activism.” The surge is an ongoing military operation and soldiers should be able to speak out about it as long as they don’t violate operational security or reveal classified information when they’re in uniform, out of uniform, in the shower, at the diner, getting their mail, doing whatever anywhere, anytime.

This while three years ago the same small cast of veterans and soldiers were showing up at anti-war rallies in uniform all the time and any time anyone objected to it the moonbats went apeshit about those evil neocons trying to keep honorable American soldiers from speaking their minds about the Chimpler’s imperial fantasy.

I don’t understand why anyone would bother even reading their arguments anymore if you don’t already agree. It’s all the same puerile bullshit over and over again, the blatant double standards and hilarious leaps of logic and impassioned wailing.
