Malkin: Just Another GOP Chickenhawk Smearing Democratic Veterans

[CatWoman]

Given their penchant for routine and grotesque hypocrisy, it should never surprise us that the craven crew in the Republican party, who claim above all else to support the troops and America's Veterans, are the first to Swiftboat them, cut their funding and ridicule them if they happen to be members of the Democratic party.

What's also politically interesting is that it's almost always the Republicans -- who seem to spend more time in prison cells for corruption than they do in the military and who generally avoid military service at every turn -- who embrace war, death and killing like Rush Limbaugh hugging up to his local pharmacist. Meanwhile, the biggest opponents of wars like the Iraq quagmire are either Democrats like John Kerry and John Murtha or Republicans like Chuck Hagel who have actually seen war and know that it's something far more grim than making big bucks for your buddies at Halliburton.

And the little screech monkeys on the right-wing side of the media never fail to go after Democrats who oppose the disastrous war in Iraq, whether it's through challenging their patriotism and the terms of their military service or just good old-fashioned, junior-high school, calling someone "chicken" like we have today as Exhibit A from Michelle Malkin.

Malkin, who, of course, has never served in the military, proudly posted on her personal web site, Hot Air and YouTube, today a video she stars in showing her in a faux cheerleader costume -- the cheerleader image just forever went from wholesome to skank in my mind -- and bellowing out "The Defeatocrats' Cheer."

She does the old "gimme an 'L,' gimme an 'O'" routine until she spells out "loser" complete with the clucking of a chicken after each silly chant and showing unflattering pictures of Kerry, Murtha, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi with each letter of the word. Malkin even waves little white flags at the end to signify surrender from the Democrats.


But she's totally cool with these guys (with descriptions courtesy of the great folks at ChickenhawkCards.com, creators of "The Deck of Republican Chickenhawks"):

George W. Bush: Went National Guard, checked the box marked "Do Not Volunteer for Overseas" on his application and then went AWOL.
Dick Cheney: "Had other priorities" like four student deferments.
Karl Rove: Avoided the draft. Many schools, no degrees.
Paul Wolfowitz: Avoided service through college deferment.
Condoleeza Rice: Chickenhawk enabler. Never served.
Tom DeLay: Chose to enlist in the war on cockroaches, fleas and termites as the owner of an exterminator business, rather than joining Kerry or Murtha in battling the Vietcong.
Newt Gingrich: Avoided Vietnam through college deferment.
Rudy Giuliani: Never served.
Sam Brownback: Never served.
Mitt Romney: Never served.


And let's not forget some of Malkin's colleagues from the GOP Barking Head Brigade:

Ann Coulter: Never served.
Rush Limbaugh: Got out of Vietnam due to an ingrown hair on his buttocks.
Bill O'Reilly: Avoided Vietnam through college deferment.
Sean Hannity: Never served -- though he talks tough.

2. Stay the Course Mitt has a corollary

He has 5 sons all in enlistment age which for some reason haven't taken up the banner of FREEDOM to Iraq...

Gah, what am I thinking, Mitt's sons need to be groomed for leadership. They will have the harder task of running the country, what needs they enlist, when so many of the lesser Americans are available.

3. If the Dem candidate wins in 2008 and Iraq doesn't get any worse or actually improves

I want to see what Malkin, Coulter, Hannity, etc. will have to say.

God willing, a Dem. president and some measurable improvement in Iraq will result in these dim-bulbs being somewhat marginalized.

4. We already know what they'll say...

...that all the good news is due to the "foundation" Bush "built", so it's really a "Bush Victory" (and then they'll explain why the Democrats are "fouling it up").

Predicting the play list is easy when the band only knows one tune.
