Tom Bevan joins David Broder's smear of Democrats

[NV1962]

Unbe-frigging-lievable.

So, Tom Bevans has his panties in a twist because his repugnant buddy David Broder gets a deserved ear and inbox full. Here's a repost of what I placed elsewhere - because I'm sick and tired of morally repugnant snails leaving their trail all over the Net without challenge.

This repost is for you, Tomboy:

What a #$%^& moron...

Opinion
Broder's Moment of Truth?

David Broder has struck a nerve with the left over this comment in his column today on the Dems' recent winter meeting:

One of the losers in the weekend oratorical marathon was retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who repeatedly invoked the West Point motto of "Duty, Honor, Country," forgetting that few in this particular audience have much experience with, or sympathy for, the military.

One of the commenters at the Washington Post calls Broder "a shill and a disgrace and a stain on humanity." Oliver Willis blasts Broder for being a "filthy liar" and calls on the Washington Post to "correct the slander he's published in their pages."

Of course, so far as I can tell from looking at his blog, Willis hasn't demonstrated any outrage over the real slander published in the Washington Post recently: William Arkin's unhinged diatribe against U.S. troops. Neither, for that matter, has any other major left wing blog that I'm aware of.

You BUSHISTA MORON - do you really argue that unless each and every Democrat jumps up in response to things like http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2007/02/post_11.html">the utterly sensible comments made by William Arkins biased liars can get away with character assassination of an ENTIRE PARTY!?

Tom Bevans, do real journalists and sensible columnists a favor: join David Broder and your moral carcinogenic ilk, and rot away in Hell.

1. I couldn't find a bio anywhere of Bevan.

So we have no way of knowing just how much time he actually spent being a troop. I expect he is but another chicken hawk supporting the troops as they all do, by saying they do, while cheering their march off to war. They can kiss my veteran ass.

2. Tom Bevan is a wingnut hack

For example, here's his laughable "analysis" of the effect of the Fighting Dems on the past elections in November.

Not only does he completely overlook (more to the point: omit) that efforts like the Fighting Dems have made a whole bunch of previously deemed unassailable Republican seats competitive, they have most definitively brought back a broadly espoused sense of righteous pride in being both progressive and pro-military.

The chickenhawk chicken little people on the right are so much scared pantless of seeing robust opponents, that they resort to shameless lies and libel as a matter of course.

Much to their surprise, we actually shoot back.

3. I had entirely missed the Arkins column

This is like the Battle of the Comment Sections.

4. It might be the most comments to a single column I have ever seen...

Over 900 before they locked it! The right wingers were pissed too! Of course everyone who put in four peacetime years somewhere is now GI Joe, demanding total victory and unconditional surrender. Simply amazing.
