Eleanor Clift, who recently characterized America's armed forces as a "mercenary Army."

WHAT?????

[frankiep]

Let her keep talking. She is the media equivlant of Howard Dean.

[Keith in Iowa]

Elenor is Cindy Sheehan with a whiff of sanity...

[Pondman88]

The Armed Forces are a profession, does she expect people to volunteer without pay?

I don't give a rat's ass what Eleanor says, let the left keep on spouting off, it only helps us.

Elanor clift what you would see if you stood HC or CS on their heads.

[Wormwood]

she is
Clearly
Unfit for
National
Television.

[razoroccam]

Completely ridiculous comment. I was watching McLaughlin group and could not believe she said it. She may also want to read the dictionary to see the meaning of the word "mercenary" : one who fights for money only. Our troops fight for ONLY the US.

[lilylangtree]

Keep up the pressure! Make the media witch apologize.

[theDentist]

The only military Eleanor Clift ever loved was Nicaraguan.

[sean327]

Does anyone have a way to contact this idiot? I know a few Marines who would love to drop her a line!!

[JarheadFromFlorida]

Every time that I seek this bucktooth skank on TV I want to puke because I know that something anti-American, anti-conservative, or anti-Bush is about to come out of her filthy piehole.

[atomicpossum]

But I'm sure she'll say she 'supports' the mercenary troops.

[pikachu]

I guess she got tired of being the second ugliest female 'journalist' and could not wait for Hellen Thomas (ready for Dick Cheney to run for VP) and decided to go for dubest broad on TV without breat augmentation.

[msnimje]

' but we're basically paying people to serve their country...

How else are the supposed to feed their families?
I just have to say it, "Eleanor you ignorant $lut"

[dead]

Tony Blankley shot her comment down, quickly and effectively:

First of all, a mercenary is a person who fights for money for any flag. The people who are fighting in our Army are patriots fighting for their flag. So while they're compensated the same way draftees are compensated, they're not mercenaries.

As usual, Eleanor’s response to this direct refutation of her pinheaded point was sucking her teeth and sniffing.

[Sthitch]

I thought that she was a commentator, not a reporter. And who cares if she apologizes. I am happy that she said it, it allows the rest of the country to understand how she feels about the military. I am all for the liberals in the media to tell us exactly how they feel about various topics.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Why do nearly all liberals look guilty and like they have sour stomachs?

[WestTexasWend]

And, I'm afraid, we'll hear much more from Clift as Newswwek cits back on publication to save expenses as revenues continue to fall. They've cut back, so far, to 51 issues a year.

I have always been amazed that Newsweek, once a fairly reputable source of information, lets Clift say publically that she is an employee of theirs. It's a lot like a university being proud that one of it's female faculty is running/working in a nearby whorehouse; it's great for the individual but what does the institution get?

I'd vonunteer for the boycott of Newsweek but it would be a meaningless jesture, I boycotted Newsweek many years ago. How objective can a "journal" be that would employ Clift?

[tumblindice]

Turnabout is fairplay, Eleanor:

We call them 'journalists' but we're basically paying people to perform disservices towards America.
They have no loyalty, no ties, no bonds to our country.
