Daily Kos Tries to Explain Censoring Soldier

It took them a couple of days to get the spin together, but we now have an official position on the incident at the ‘Military and Progressives’ panel at YearlyKos, from an employee of VoteVets, whose founder shouted down and threatened that soldier.

With obligatory “chickenhawk” slurs—the logically empty argument they never seem to get tired of.

The conservative bloggers who’ve tried to make Jon look bad over this—like Michelle Malkin, Matt Drudge, and others—have no concept of this. Just like they have no concept of war in general. None of them has ever served the country in any meaningful capacity, and I’m sure never will. They just don’t have it in them.

They are war mongers, too cowardly to go themselves—and yet too eager to send others to go in their places.

Okay, now that’s just sad.

Nice backdrop for the dem presidential candidates: shouting down the military when one of them tries to present another point of view. No wonder half of the dem candidates bagged this stupid Koscr*p festival.

who made it very plain to all of us that the Republican-induced lowering of Army enlistment standards has left us with certain soldiers who respect discredited Republican talking points

In other words, soldiers are stupid? Funny how they also don't seem to like him making his points while wearing a uniform. They never had a problem with it before. But then again, the liberals have had to lower their enlistment standards to gain new recruits...

Most of the dems had planned to attend until Jet Blue pulled out from the political heat...

If the soldier did a Kerry, they would have loved him.

They threw out a soldier in uniform for stating that the surge was working, and then claimed that he had no right to speak because he was in uniform. Shamefully, some Freepers are siding with the KosCommies on this. Meanwhile, the ass who threw the soldier out is a self-proclaimed “veteran activist” whose own web site has a photo of him in uniform (and holding an AK), and the Clintonite ex-general Weasely Clark himself was on the panel the soldier addressed. The hypocrisy of this whole disgusting sham stinks out loud.

I like your tribute to Ward Churchill. Kinda lake a “NO LES NO MORE” thingy.

Just like they have no concept of war in general. None of them has ever served the country in any meaningful capacity, and I’m sure never will. They just don’t have it in them.

Oh, I'm sure all the military fighting this war are lunatic liberals. /s

Why is Jon back here blaming the US for everything that is wrong and not still fighting since he is so darn dedicated?

I think we can say you have your own "john kerry" traitor want to be.

How many of those Daily Kosiacks have ever served one day in the military?! They 'don't understand' or don't 'have it in them'?! Whaaa. Whaaa. Whaaa. You got caught and now you are trying to change the subject, Jon.

An AK?? Just which army was he in?

[eyedigress]

They feel guilty and can’t do anything about it. They exemplify the weakest of the country. Until they can outlaw freedom and defense of it, they always will be the weakest.

[shield]

These people once again show their true colors. They acted like a bunch of thugs and bullies...same mind set as al qaeda has...can’t take the truth so they act like dirty little communist and treat one of our wonderful soldiers like dirt.

[george76]

Thanks.

Ward is getting another years Paid vacation : Thanks to the taxpayers and parents.

KOSmunists can’t handle debate, only parroting the party line.

That said, it’s their deal, so i don’t think the word censorship really applies. Thye are not the government, and don’t have to provide equal time to opposing viewpoints.

Thye are still KOSmmie scum. I can’t believe my own sister is one of those disgusting traitors.

This ‘you do it if you believe in it” reminds of how I’ve never met any liberal, Dean, CEO, student, employee etc. who’s been willing to give up his/her position for “affirmative action.”
