General Petraeus was set to address the country on the state of the Iraq “war” and people with pre-knowledge of his assessment were reporting widely that Petraeus had caved to White House pressure and intended to paint a rosy picture. Could the painting of a rosy picture of the state of the Iraq war, an issue of grave import and consequence, be fairly equated with a betrayal of our trust? I’m inclined to say “yes”, although some could disagree. Nevertheless, the right-wing spin machine went into overdrive, even coaxing Democratic Senators to pass this piece of garbage:

SEC. 1070. SENSE OF SENATE ON GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS.

(a) Findings.–The Senate makes the following findings:

* * *

8) A recent attack through a full-page advertisement in the New York Times by the liberal activist group, Moveon.org, impugns the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces.

(b) Sense of Senate.–It is the sense of the Senate–

(1) to reaffirm its support for all the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, including General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq;

(2) to strongly condemn any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces; and

(3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org.

22 gutless Democratic Senators voted for that Sense of the Senate resolution. So, I ask you, do you believe that calling Brig. Gen. Kerr “a phony General” over the national airwaives simply because he is gay and supports a democrat for President, is at least as a bad as insinuating in one local newspaper that General Petraeus could potentially betray the trust of the average citizen by painting a rosy picture? If you answered yes, as I did, then you might consider calling those 22 Democratic Senators that felt it necessary to vote for S2934 and ask for a Sense of the Senate Resolution to address this, because what’s good for the goose, is always good for the gander.

The ‘phony’ thing worked for Limbaugh. He’s probably jealous that he’s just a tier 2 idiot.

A good start. Follow up with imprisonment and exile, then we’ll have something to talk about.

TRoS asked you about your day on the other thread and he is pretending to be the big man on the job with his Vice Presidency (sure) working for his daddy. You owe him one, I wish I could stay and help.

Except it’s redundant.

While Trolls defend Weiner’s right to free speech, it doesn’t occur to the dumbshits Kerr has the same right.

Retarded & Right = Today’s Neoturd

But Savage has yet to explain what makes Kerr a “phony”. Is he claiming that Kerr never actually had a commission? That he didn’t serve? That he was really doing something else during those 43 years? What?

Thank God we have two chickenhawk COWARDS like Rush Limbaugh and Michael “Savage”, WHO NEVER BOTHERED TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY DESPITE THEIR TOUGH TALK, telling us what it means to be a real patriot.

I guess real patriots hide behind their anal cysts like Limbaugh and let all the “phonies” fight their battles.

What? You want them to risk lisping and maybe sounding **horrorsss** gay?

Extremist. Terrorist. Socialist…where the HELL are the S’s???

It’s extremistS. TerroristS. SocialistS.

IdiotS.

Socialists? WTF is this idiot talking about?

No, he definitely has that right, and I hope he continues to exercise it. The more the right-wing attacks the troops, the easier the election will be.

I agree totally. If I ever saw a closet case about to completely implode from his own self loathing, it’s Weiner.

three other “Bear Traps” for conservatives.
