Pat Tillman's Legacy(Nation Magazine)

Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them. Somehow that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few "bad apples" in the military.

Seems like Kevin Tillman is going the cindy sheehan route.

BTW, Mr. Tillman how come no condemnation by you of CNN that is reveling in America's enemies, the terrorists, killing your brethren.

CNN Defends showing terrorist sniping American(CNN declres jihad on America)

Just for some more background information, the Tillman sons and father are a big fan of America hater Noam Chomsky.

I will take my intial comment back that Kevin Tillman wants to go down the cindy sheehan route, it seems he wants to go down the route of John Kerry.

[SIDENET]

I wonder what his DU name is.

Leftist scum.

[Dane]

Mr. Tillman is even putting down Kindergarteners for supporting the troops.

Somehow back at home, support for the soldiers meant having a five-year-old kindergartener scribble a picture with crayons and send it overseas, or slapping stickers on cars, or lobbying Congress for an extra pad in a helmet. It's interesting that a soldier on his third or fourth tour should care about a drawing from a five-year-old; or a faded sticker on a car as his friends die around him; or an extra pad in a helmet, as if it will protect him when an IED throws his vehicle 50 feet into the air as his body comes apart and his skin melts to the seat.

I'll take a single Chomsky readin' Pat Tillman over a hundred Coulter readin' paper tigers any day of the week.

Even one that puts down Kindergartener's who show support for the troops and America.

See reply #6.

[Wormwood]

See reply #6.

Um, please read my post again.

I said PAT, not KEVIN.

[Wormwood]

Even one that puts down Kindergartener's who show support for the troops and America.

And to be fair, the author is not mocking kindergartenders. He is pointing out that there is much more we can do to support our troops than simply lend moral support.

[Dane]

And to be fair, the author is not mocking kindergartenders.

Uh yes he is mocking kindergartener's.

I've criticized Coulter now and then but your remark is arrogant and stupid.

[Petronski]

Chomsky readers are idiots and paper tigers are useless.

Some choice there.

[EveningStar]

I don't agree with Coulter readers but calling them all paper tigers is insulting and untrue. There are plenty of Ann Coulter fans who I like and admire.

[Petronski]

...calling them all paper tigers is insulting and untrue...

I don't believe he did that. I certainly didn't mean that.

I believe he referred to a class of people who are (a) Coulter readers AND (b) paper tigers. I do not think he said--or even meant to imply--that those groups were necessarily mutually inclusive.

[Petronski]

Gosh, I hope I don't need to resort to a Venn diagram.

You are, of course, correct.

My fault for not being more clear.

[EveningStar]

I'll concede the point. No need to post a diagram. It's still a gratuitous comment.

BTW, I just see Kevin Tillman, et al as gullible, not evil.

[EveningStar]

He's not scum. He's just gullible.
