Well, Gen McPeak, you did pick an anti-american POS to support now, didn't you?

[Perchant]

Clinton wishes he was as relevant as Joe McCarthy.

From Wikipedia:

He was appointed Air Force Chief of Staff by President George H.W. Bush

In 1996, McPeak served as Oregon state chairman for the Bob Dole for President campaign. During the presidential election of 2000 McPeak endorsed George W. Bush and served as co-chairman of Oregon Veterans for Bush.[1]

As the military and foreign policy of the Bush administration coalesced, however, McPeak expressed strong objections, especially with regard to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. McPeak later openly campaigned for Howard Dean’s nomination, and when Dean withdrew, acted as an adviser for the John Kerry campaign. He was also one of twenty-seven signatories to the statement of the “Committee of Diplomats & Commanders for Change” calling the Bush Administration a failure at “preserving national security” and calling for Bush not to be re-elected.

Gen. McPeak ovbiously gets his history from the media. Senator McCarthy was more right than he knew. He was a war hero, not a draft dodger, like slick.

The moonbats over at DU are freaking out about this. I am always suspect of Willy, but I don’t really see that as taking a swipe at Obama. Am I wrong? I don’t get it.

After the 2000 elections, Tony was expecting some cushy job as reward for backing Bush...he got do on air combat analysis for local Portland stations...not quite what he was looking for. He has kissed up to every rat frontrunner since. I really need to ask him how his new career is going.

I wouldn’t pick McCarthy. He actually rooted out a bunch of commies. State Dept was (is) full of ‘em. Where he went wrong is not realizing that some of the people he was going after were NOT communists.

[FUMETTI]

I think he meant Charlie McCarthy, the puppet.

[WildcatClan]

I don't get the comparison

Retired Gen. Merrill “Tony” McPeak is not exactly one of the good guys. He was with Jon Francois Carry’s staff in 2004 and was whining about the Swift Boat group exposing Kerry’s lies and inflations of his Purple Hearts for getting shot in the butt by a grain of rice, etc.

By the way, did you know Jon Carry was in Vietnam and Cambodia? Who knew?

[landerwy]

All I can say is these people had better grow some thick skin if they think those are insults. Do they think that the President of the USA does not get all kinds of insults?

What are they having, a who gets offended the easiest contest? Maybe they ought to go serve on a school board first before they can run. Then they will understand personal insults!

"It sounds more like McCarthy," Gen. McPeak said. "I was going to college when Joe McCarthy was accusing good Americans of being traitors, so I've had enough of it."

BS

McCarthy was right --history proved that

How the hell do left wingers like this guy get to be AF Chief Of Staff

[rod1]

Please let us see Bubba red-faced some more in the campaign. I really a so hoping for a finger wagging that turns into an assault charge (although not wishing anyone real bodily harm).

[nyyankeefan]

Obama aide compares Clinton to McCarthy....

bj wishes he stood for something like McCarthy ...other than molesting women or a stained blue dress!!!!

[Malesherbes]

McPeak, just another “typical white person?”
