You really are a piece of work. Corpses? Please. Get a grip on reality. Oh, and you still haven’t answered my question.

And in case you were wondering (and I know you are, because you don’t seem to get it), the President of the United States got his “White House job” by being elected by the citizens of the United States. Last I read, that was how it was done. There was no coup. There was no self-appointment, and he sure as fuck didn’t get selected by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Coulda sworn I had that typed in there.

Pointing out the servicemen that were killed needlessly due to someone’s mindless incompetence: the bodies of dead American service members as a weapon.

It all makes sense now. The right respects our war dead far too much to ever use them as props. Or, you know, ever acknowledge them. Or admit that our little venture into Iraq was thought out, executed, and maintained by a mob of incompetent ideologues.

Geez, figure it out, libs!

By my count the three self-identified military vets in this comment thread don’t have a problem with the photo appearing here.

Your explanations of why you do ring false, like overcompensation for your own cowardice.

Come on, JT, be a man and sign up for a hitch. It will change your perspective, AND you will get to shoot a weapon that isn’t your mouth.

Jay Tea: If you people can’t understand what is so offensive about dead American soldiers being used by a political hack to defend a political hack’s putting a Communist in high office…

Once again Jay Tea responds to a request for info and clarification with “You go figure it out for yourself.” Because he can’t figure out his own words.

Jones has worked in the environmental movement for 20 years. He helped write the “Green Jobs” Act, which none other than commie-pinko sympathizer G.W. Bush signed into law as part of the 2007 energy bill. Fast Company named him one of the most innovative minds of 2008, fer chrissakes. He is qualified for the job – why should the fact that he’s a communist prevent him from serving the President when called upon? WTF, are we still in the middle of the Cold War?

And why no outrage at the 36 unvetted “czars” (gods, I hate that word) appointed by Bush?

Intolerable? Inigo Montoya to you.

If it’s “intolerable” I suggest you stop trying to tolerate it.

Oliver is a one-trick pony. All he knows how to do is attack. He has zero ability to express an opinion without lashing out. He can’t promote, he can’t defend, he can’t advocate.

In this case, he can’t defend the appointment of Jones in any way, shape, or form. We KNOW the FBI investigated his background, so we KNOW the Obama administration knew they were bringing in a man who had formed a Marxist revolutionary group.

So, instead, Oliver attacks.

And he uses the bodies of dead American service members as his weapon of choice.

Dead American service members whose image is being used to defend a Marxist revolutionary.

“Defend” in Oliver-speak, of course, means “blame Bush, attack Republicans, and never mention the subject of the original discussion.”

And look, it worked. Not one of the gibbering monkeys who kiss his ass are willing to discuss the facts of the whole Jones case, or Jones himself. Instead, you’re all busy blathering about rhetorical political warfare and stroking each other over how righteous each of you are.

Yeah, Jaim, in that other thread I discussed scrota. The title referred to “teabagging,” so I spelled out what you were all sniggering about.

But no one wants to discuss Jones. Oh, you’ll talk about how he was “smeared,” but no one wants to talk about what a great loss this Marxist radical quitter who will, no doubt, go on to write a book and hit the lecture tour to whine about the “political terrorists” who did the heinous deed of showing people what he has said and written.

And there’s Oliver, standing atop the corpses of American heroes and shouting how people had no business daring to question how the fuck this asshole got a White House job.

The reek around here is beyond intolerable.

Have you ever been to a military hospital? Have you ever seen the maimed up close and personal after they’ve returned home? It’s heart-wrenching. I live in San Antonio, Texas, perhaps the biggest military city in the country. I also happen to be a 21-year veteran of the armed forces. I’ve been to Wilford Hall Medical Center and Brook Army Medical Center. I’ve seen the maimed, the crippled; and I’ve seen their families. I can’t imagine the pain of any of it. It’s heart breaking.

Your “outrage” over the picture OW posted is laughable. If you really gave a damn about our country, you’d give a damn about the people being killed and disfigured for reasons that have yet to be satisfactorily justified to us by the previous or current administration.

Now I’m going to ask you to do something, and I’m typing very slowly so there’s no question what I’m asking: Explain in detail what is so offensive about photographs of coffins honored by our flag and their military escorts?

Cmon man if you’re gonna say it, go for the gold!

So speaking of dead soldiers, where are the nightly body counts and media footage of coffins coming home?

Or do you still think the drive by media is not biased?

Why should they. “I don’t know if it’s true or not, but Lamar Alexander is a Serious Person, so if he says it, it’s Serious. And whether it’s total BS or not, it’s still News if a Serious Person like him says it. So there, I’ve reported Serious News. No need to do any fact checking. My work is done here. Time to play some World of Warcraft, after I click over and see if this week’s paycheck’s been deposited yet.”

And no members of the press have asked these conservatives about this discrepancy, either. Liberal media my behind.

Now he wets his pants over decorum.

Priceless.

But I also want to ask Jay, why not just sign up for a hitch in the armed forces? You aren’t a chicken-hawk, are you?
