A veritable feast, RonDog. Thanx. :-)

From Race Bannon:

It is remarkable how exquisitely the rats have honed the art of inducing the false inference.

And Ann had the nerve to Lexis-Nexis something she must have read, and remembered.

Maybe the Democrats can get one of their pet federal judges to issue "The Coulter Rule":

If Ann Coulter* uses a word, idea, fact or general concept from a copyrighted source article, it's an actionable copyright violation - triple damages, no appeal.

*[hey, I'm sure that we can get Ruth, Steve, Dave, Sandra & John-Boy to agree that the Founders didn't have Ann Coulter in mind when they did that "Bill of Attainder" thingy]

Well, it's about time "somebody" posted a picture on this thread.......... 8<)

(What took you so long?)

[OldFriend]

What do we say about a man like Cleland who put the unions ahead of national security immediately after September 11th.

What do we say about a man who has been willing to lie and say he was accused of not being patriotic when in fact he was holding up the business of this nation's security.

Real men, even grievously injured men, do not exploit their injuries for personal gain or to the detriment of their country.

[metalurgist]

You don't know WTF you're talking about or whom you are talking to. My husband did three tours in VietNam

OK, so, your married to a guy that served three tours in Nam. This gives you special status? BWHAHAHAHAH

Cleland started it when he sneered at everyone that ever served in the National Guard as weekend warriors. There are 6000 names of men that served in the Guard on that Wall in D.C.

[OldFriend]

Does your husband's service mean that we have no right to our opinion?

[Robert A Cook PE]

I don't condemn his (Max's) service.

I condemn WHAT HE has chosen to do WITH IT to serve his socialist agenda in Washington.

At the expense of truth, and while deliberating USING it to propagate (not refute!) the lies that his democrats are telling about Bush's equally honorable service.

And while concealing (deliberately) Kerry's excuses and early retirement from active duty.

THAT I do condemn him for.

[OldEagle]

I doubt that anyone would condemn Cleland's service, including Ann Coulter. The man is a hero and was awarded medals for heroic acts in combat. AC's story correctly pointed out that his loss of limbs was the result of an accident and not the result of enemy action. I fail to see why the beer drinking is important and I am surprised that he didn't get a Purple Heart.

Exactly.

Cleland made the mistake of becoming a willing patsy for the McAuliffe branch of the party. He, and they, didn't understand that Ann "Ty Cobb" Coulter might decide to put herself in the game.

spodefly & RonDog - I feel a thought association coming on:

"The Connecticut Peach"

joe lieberman sold his soul to the clinton cartel in order to be al gore's Vice President.

The few democrats[less than two] that have souls should not be so quick as to sell them to the clinton cartel for a moment of power.

Thank you.

And thank the men of the Guard that gave everything for their country in Vietnam.

And annyokie - we thank your husband for his three tours over there, too.

I'm going to be one of those here that makes sure that our returning veterans of Iraq are treated with the respect due to those who went in harm's way in this newest of world wars. You can put that in the bank.

[mikegi]

I think this article was toned down quite a bit and got the message across much better (an important message, I might add).

I agree. Coulter should never make fun of a triple amputee's accident. Her previous title, "Cleland drops a political grenade", was offensive.

[omegatoo]

And yet the poignant truth of Cleland's own accident demonstrates the commitment and bravery of all members of the military who come into contact with ordnance.

Ann in no way condemns Cleland's service, in fact, she just honored it. But the accident that caused his injuries was not brave, it was stupid. He shouldn't have done it, he had no reason to do it. I can imagine that the thought going through his head as the grenade exploded was probably "that was stupid".

What Ann is condemning in this article is Cleland's allowing his accident to be twisted into an intentional "brave sacrifice" in order to be used against President Bush. He may not be doing it himself, but he's allowing it to be done. That is shameful and worthy of criticism.

Four of the five wealthiest presidents have been RATS. How do the RATS explain that truth? Most of the Congresscritters and Senators on the most wealthy lists are also RATS. Did any of these maroons complain about the tax refunds they got with President Bush's tax law? No, all they complain about is "tax refunds are only for the wealthy" and that is getting really old.

[Paulus Invictus]

And Joe Conason strikes out again! What an idiot he is!

[Waco]

The version I got back in the late 70's was that it was horseplay with hand grenades that got Cleland. Bet it's the most accurate.

[fish hawk]

Didn't offend me, I thought it was funny as hell. I also know it was the truth. Does the "other side" say Bush was AWOL etc. etc.(which is a lie) in a really nice way, hell no. One of the Freepers above talked about the "new rules". Well this be them. Read my tag line.

[an amused spectator]

Her previous title, "Cleland drops a political grenade", was offensive.

No, it wasn't. It was peanut butter on the beer can. ;-)

[hosepipe]

[ Cleland hunched over to avoid the whirring blades and ran. Turning to face the helicopter, he caught sight of a grenade on the ground where the chopper had perched. It must be mine, he thought, moving toward it. He reached for it with his right arm just as it exploded, slamming him back and irreparably altering his plans for a bright, shining future. ]

Sounds like he was frag'ed to me... Granades underneath a recently taken off copter don't just appear...

Maybe Cleland is 3 limbs short of being a whole traitor... as he seems to makeing evident daily.. by being a democrat
