Once again, this sort of rhetoric does nothing to further discussion, just throwing out a bunch of strawmen out there doesn’t make for facts.

You’re entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts and so far I’m seeing a lot of unsupported claims and exaggerations.

Kokesh opposes the Iraq war. There are plenty of reasons to agree with him. It was a piss-poorly planned war, executed against the advice of top military officials(Shinseki) and begun under the most shady of circumstances.

You can argue it both ways and have a reasonable debate but stop trying to paint anyone who thinks it wasn’t a great idea to drop off hundreds of thousands of troops in the middle of the desert without a clear plan or strategy, spending nearly a trillion or more in the process is some kind of loon or weirdo.

So then you are fine with Kokesh and his ANSWER pals yelling at Gold Star Mothers phrases like “your son got what he deserved”? He wasn’t just there as a spectator, he was one of the leaders.

If you are a leader of the Ku Klux Klan it is right to call you a Klansman and a racist. If you are a leader of NAMBLA it is right to call you a pervert and a child molestor. If you are a leader of Iraq Veterans Against the War and work with ANSWER and Code Pink, you are a traitor who is helping the enemy kill our troops.

That is fact. Not opinion.

I don't paint everyone opposed to OIF as a traitor. But I do call out Kokesh for what he is: a traitor.
