    From the linked story -

    “It’s probably the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever heard from a chief of staff of a U.S. senator,” Soltz said. “I told him it was rather unprofessional to yell at a soldier who fought for our country.” –Army Reserve Capt. Jon Soltz

    Which makes me think of this gem:

    “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” –Mohandas Gandhi

    That’s a coincidence, I just read that on August Pollak’s site and couldn’t remember where it came from.

    Clearly this is an omen.

    Thats it? Thats the best you have?

    The democrats are telling soldiers that there efforts are a waste of time, why not just give up (but not so much that they are willing to cut off their funding so that they are FORCED to come home!), and a staffer raised his voice because he had a couple of political partisans in his office?

    Pathetic attempt lefties. It makes your position look even MORE ridiculous…

    peedro is right. This is a lame story–pretty light on details too, even when you click through to the underlying story from Boise.

    But, peed, it’s no more lame than the “Hillary-dissed-the-Gold-Star-mothers” story that your side was hawking a while back.

    This is a lame story, but if it was a Democratic senator it would be a national scandal and Pedro would enjoy every minute.

    And that’s the hypcritical nature of pedugger.

    Indeed. The only nonridiculous postition to take is in ideological lockstep with Dear Leader and President Cheney. Otherwise, you just look like a fool. The awesome selling, preparation, and execution of the glorious Iraq War is a perfect example. Either get on the bus or get out of town, ridiculous liberals.
