As almost everyone knows by now, yesterday William M. Arkin, of the Washington Post and NBC News Analyst, stepped into his own leftist excrement with his “The Troops Also Need to Support the American People”.
Rather than rehash Comrade Arkin’s troop bashing I urge you to visit Wake Up America and read yesterday’s column, “The Left Wants Our Soldiers to SHUT UP!!!!!!” which offers the best blogging overview of Arkin’s diaper-full-o-crap and many of the linked sentiments from our military bloggers on Mr. Arkin’s statements.
After Arkin got thoroughly throttled, he came back with “The Arrogant and Intolerant Speak Out.” Now he calls those in uniform “arrogant and intolerant”!!!
Well, one thing's abundantly clear about who will actually defend our
rights to say what we believe: It isn't the hundreds who have written me saying
they are soldiers or veterans or war supporters or real Americans -- who also
advise me to move to another country, to get f@##d, or to die a painful, violent
death.
Contrary to the typically inaccurate and overstated assertion in
dozens of blogs, hundreds of comments, and thousands of e-mails I've received,
I've never written that soldiers should "shut up," quit whining, be spit upon,
or that they have no right to an opinion.
I said I was bothered by the notion that "the troops" were somehow
becoming hallowed beings above society, that they had an attitude that only they
had the means - or the right - to judge the worthiness of the Iraq
endeavor.
I was dead wrong in using the word mercenary to describe the
American soldier today. . .
The notion then that we should defer to the
military to fight when and how and where they want is absurd. As the debate
about the Iraq war demonstrates, war-making is a shared endeavor and the arrogant and intolerant few who think they are above the
people seem to be those who are wearing the uniform.
Commrade Arkin, you are beneath contempt!
Today Arkin has written “A Note to My Readers on Supporting the Troops”
I knew when I used the word "mercenary" in my Tuesday
column that I was being highly inflammatory. . . .
He wanted inflammatory, well he’s got it. Hope he and the WaPo realize what they’ve unleashed!!!
Arkin has received more than 200 comments, so far. And the vast majority of comments aren’t coming from his fans!!! These comments are well worth reading and I only hope some of those who left comments bothered to send their comments to his bosses!
Note: We need to remind the “mainstream” media bosses that unless they seriously get some balance in their coverage of the war, they may soon be subject to the sweeping reforms Congress is considering to the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. Although S.B. 1 passed without the “grassroots” provisions, congress is considering adding amendments. Additionally, H.R. 4682 (still under consideration) would subject groups and individuals (including the media) to disclosure and biased media SHOULD be considered “grassroots lobbying firms”!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others will attempt to push through these dangerous restrictions in the House. And if they do let their leftist media hacks pay!!!
