Merrill “Tony” McPeak, a former chief of staff of the Air Force and currently a co-chair of Obama’s presidential campaign
Wow! Talk about a steep downward spiral.

Bill Clinton will NEVER be the patriot that Senator Joe McCarthy was.

Air Force Chief of Staff General Tony McPeak: “It sounds more like McCarthy... I grew up, I was going to college when Joe McCarthy was accusing good Americans of being traitors, so I’ve had enough of it.”

Sounds like the good general should’ve stayed out of politics, SINCE HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKIN’ ABOUT. Joe McCarthy was was accusing some very bad Americans because they were traitors.
Of course, when you’re a liberal, facts are just ironic sentiments (to the wise listener) to be tossed around and inverted as a rhetorical toy. Someone should put a Tablespoon of STFU in the general’s morning coffee.

Calling a Democrat an anti-communist must be one of the worst insults you can give them. But they can usually find a few communist dictators they’ve helped out to vouch for them if they’ve been in power long enough.

I just scanned through the Lincoln bedroom list. Saw Jane Fonda’s name. Threw up a little in my throat.

If he was questioning BO’s patriotism, it was brilliant. Unless BJ was winking and nodding at a BO portrait when he said that, it makes the Obama campaign sound snakebit and paranoid.

The selection process to general is normally very good. In the case of McPeak, it failed. The guy is an ass... period. I watched him screw up the USAF with silly uniforms and absolutely squalid leadership, I later watched him give horrendous technical advise to some companies that I was developing hardware for. The man is the military equivalent of a politician...all hat and no cattle. It’s amazing that the incompetent generals and admirals seem to be the ones coming out for Dhimmicrats. McPeak couldn’t make a bulb light...even if he was supplied with the batteries, wires, and the bulb.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and his Vietnam combat record and two-year stint with the Thunderbirds notwithstanding, but wasn't McPeak's claim to fame during his term as USAF Chief of Staff his re-design of USAF officers' Class-A uniform that made them all look like airline pilots? Also, I seem to remember that he once got in trouble while serving on the JCS for jetting about in an F-15 with a three-ship escort at a cost to taxpayers of about $30,000 per trip, instead of just using regular USAF transport or the commercial airlines.

Isn’t McPeak the token military man Obama dredged up to support Obama’s Wright-like views that America is evil, the was on terror is evil and that was is just a sophisticated racketeering scheme?

McCarthy’s shot gun approach took a lot of innocent people down with the few real Commies he found. The likes of Harry Dexter White and Owen latimore were not uncovered by McCarthy. McCarthy’s methods, visciousness and thirst for publicity would not have done more damage to the anti comunist movement if he had been a KGB operative.
