Ms. Slezak,
"un-just war" in Afganistan? Your kidding, right? Perhaps you missed September 11, 2001 when Al Queda used four airplanes in a terrorist attack that killed over 3,000 people. The United States, backed by every civilized nation in the world, as well as every semi-intelligent being in the world (save you) supported bringing Al Queda to justice. The removal of the Taliban and disruption of Al Queda training camps was, and is, the biggest priority of the western world if it wishes to remain a free society. Free from the murderous criminals which you apparently support. Pat Tillman voluntarily signed up to fight for our right to remain that free society. Our nation owes Mr. Tillman a debt of gratitude for his courage, bravery and honor. I will offer you the following:
he·ro
n :
2. A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life
Idiot
n :
1. a person of subnormal intelligence
You mentioned Mr. Tillman's widow. I am very sure that Ms. Tillman was married to a hero. Your husband, however, is married to an idiot.
(please freepmail me if I have made any errors in posting this.)
Cruise has 'jumped the shark' IMO. Only making this appearance as he has a film coming out soon (COLLATERAL?).
Bravo!
Lando
Good job on your first post, too!
I can't abide Tom "paranoid Scientology cultist" Cruise. This is more of a disgrace to Tillman and what he stood for than an honour.
While this awards show *is* an appropriate venue, I still believe the Media overplayed his sacrifice as a play on his celebrity while other fallen war heros are all but ignored.
What do you expect from a female sportswriter?
I hope Marshall, Will, and Holly go on a routine expedition to beat her ass.
""un-just war" in Afganistan? Your kidding, right? "
Agreed. Even many staunch liberals feel that the Afghan War and toppling of the Taliban met the criteria of a 'just' conflict.
Ms. Sleaze-ak's jackass.
And that's why you won't watch, Sleaze-ack; such concepts are as poison to the self-serving, cowardly, worthless political left.
Excellent response!!
A copy of my email to this journalistic idiot calling herself Carol Slezak is below:
"You do realize that Pat Tillman died serving his nation in AFGHANISTAN, don't you?!?!?
I'm sure you recall the events of Sept 11, 2001 when over 3000 Americans citizens were murdered for their sole "crime" of going to work that morning. Pat Tillman remembered, and he did something about it. He gave up a lucrative career and millions of dollars to take a stand and protect us here at home and to bring freedom to Afghanistan.
Pat Tillman was a hero.
I feel so sorry for you if you don't understand that.
The real question is do you have the guts to retract your statement in your next column? I think not..."
Only one grammar nerd point: "You're," vice "your." A common mistake; better written as "You are", anyway.
Sorry, I'm an editor and that jumped right out. Otherwise, a great response.
I read the rest of her stuff. She's awful. She's like the last hour of a bad 4-hour sports talk radio show.
Double bump.
Double bump.
It's become blatantly obvious that the Dims can't differentiate between Iraq and Afghanistan. Their knee-jerk reaction is "Bush's War! Bush's War!" They're parrots.I was thinking the other day...wouldn't it be nice if as many fans as possible show up for opening day this September with Tillman #40 jerseys on...a sea of white throughout all NFL stadia as a tribute to that remarkable guy.
bump
There must be a typo in her name as I'm SURE it's spelled SLEAZY!!!
