I will second your thoughts. Most people didn't see Sneakypete's courage in exposing that charlatan "Deep in the Hurtgen Forest" back in early '99. Pete was absolutely villified for very politely calling into question that indidvidual's claims of extraordinary military honors and achievements. At that time, DITHF was quite the icon around here, and I've always respected Sneakypete for the grace in which he handled the absolute onslaught of vitriol directed at him by the liar DITHF's acolytes. As it turned out, DITHF was a fraud. It's hard to take a position contrary to the status quo here on FR, even when you are right.
Incidentally, I saw the Maher exchange with D'Sousa (sp?)live and it was immediately apparent to me that Maher's "we" was referring to the cowardice of our political leaders, not our military personnel.
Thank you for the back-up,as well as the kind words. It REALLY burns me up that everybody is suddenly dumping all over Mahr for the ONE subject he has ALWAYS been right on in the past. Hell,I've tried to organize boycotts against this cretin before for some of the outrageous crap he has pulled and said,and couldn't get any responses other than "why are you watching that show anyhow?". Now people are jumping all over him for something he didn't do,and calling me a traitor,a leftist,a coward,and everything else you can think of because I try to tell them this.
