If she’s not bashing Catholics it’s because she’s too busy taking more cheap shots at Sarah Palin.

Or denigrating vets.

"AN OPEN LETTER TO MARGERY EAGAN, BOSTON HERALD

Dear Ms. Eagan:

As veterans we wish to convey in the strongest possible terms out utter disappointment with the unwarranted attack on veteran parade organizers written by you in the March 4, 2014 edition of your paper.

In your column, “It’s time to scrap the St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” you wrote among other objectionable things:

Not a single politician should march. Nobody should, actually, save for maybe John “Wacko” Hurley and his pathetic band of Allied War Veterans, whose parade glorifies warfare at a time when veterans and most of America — after 11 years of bloodshed — want nothing more than peace.

“Pathetic band of Allied War Veterans”? Really?

“Whose parade glorifies war”? Really? This parade has been run by the veterans for over fifty years, and not until very recently has anyone ever thought of the organizers as pathetic, or bigots, nor any other demeaning or derogatory title. You should be ashamed of yourself.

For your edification these “pathetic” old soldiers are World War II, Korean, Vietnam, Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq veterans who served their country with honor, many of whom saw blood spilled and horribly disfigured young bodies returned to their families in body bags for the rights you used to trash them. Many know the horrors of war personally and we sincerely doubt a single one of them sees their parade as a tribute to the glories of war...."
