Montana GOPer: Dead Soldier Is Too Stupid To Have Written NYT Op-Ed!
God bless the troop-supporting republicans.

"Pardon my skepticism, and certainly no disrespect for the dead Montana soldier, but in my time in the Army I never heard such a word as “recalcitrant” escape the lips of any Staff Sergeant. I doubt if it’s spoken all that much in Ismay, either. The soldiers had the help and probably the encouragement of a writer with an agenda, from a newspaper which has always had one. Its continually declining circulation now mainly consists of those who want desperately to consider themselves sophisticated as well as compassionate, even if that means always branding the U.S. as the chief villain on the world stage—-in fact, especially if it does. "

2. Stupid people expect everyone to come down to their level.

It never occurs to them to raise themselves up instead.

I wonder how long this asswipe's "time in the Army" was.

I was in for twelve years and knew Staff Sergeants a lot smarter than myself.

on edit: I see he had one whole hitch. I'm sure he got to know all the Staff Sergeants in the Army in that long enlistment.

3. The Gazette comment blogs have a swarm of GOP trolls that spend all day posting this type of garbage
I think the state party must pay them.

7. And they rate liberal comments down to make them disappear
while rating RW comments up. Ends up looking like most people are pro-war, pro-bush, pro-stupid.

The psy-ops shit HAS to be done by teams that sit and do that all friggin day.

9. My husband joined the Air Force as an enlisted man with a Bachelor's
in Journalism. There is no way to safely generalize how educated or how intelligent someone is by their job description. What an ass.

15. can't help but wonder if this person was offended by the "Betray us"
slogan-
which is NOTHING compared to the bigoted garbage they have just mouthed.
This man just accused a soldier who gave his life for his country of lying- and deception, not to mention sharing his view that those in the military are illiterate- (and Kerry was slammed for his botched joke :eyes: ) ...then he has the balls to say he means no disrespect?

f-u mr. fair and balanced ass

i don't pardon you-

Like Bush, he does not believe anyone around him is smarter than he is....

23. didn't these people pile on John Kerry for a botched joke that they insisted
proved he thought the troops weren't educated. Seems like this person is saying that and there is no joke whose wording was awkward to explain it.
