Vets for Freedom National Heroes Tour a PR sham


It's just like show business. They ride around in a big tour bus. They pretend to be non-partisan. They wave the flag and try to convince high school students that what they're saying is true.

The truth is something else altogether. Just like it is in show business.

The National Heroes Tour is funded by Vets for Freedom, a right-wing Republican lobbying 527.

They're all offended that some high schools are turning them away, when there message is simple and non-partisan: war is glorious. There are no quadraplegics, burn victim or traumatic brain injury vets on the tour.

Creepy Joe: Deaf, dumb and blind, but not mute


So Creepy Joe Lieberman doesn't like the partisanship in politics, yet he saves most of his complaints for his former party mates, as a group.

“I think either [Democrats] are, in my opinion, respectfully, naïve in thinking we can somehow defeat this enemy with talk..."

That's certainly non-partisan.

And he doesn't quite see that, in fact, several of his Republican friends are abandoning him on the President's Iraq policy.

"I’m disappointed that I am in so small a minority among Senate Democrats in taking the position that I have. "

That's convenient myopia.

And he doesn't understand why everyone is in such a huff about the Attorney General's lies.

“I fear that some people take this position also because anything President Bush is for, they’ll be against."

That's something called situational ethics.

And he wants to know why his Democratic colleagues aren't concerned about the fundamentalist Islamic threat.

“There is a very strong group within the party that I think doesn’t take the threat of Islamist terrorism seriously enough.”

That's because the Democrats would rather be pursuing Osama bin Laden then some Sunni insurgents who became insurgent when America arrived, unbidden, in Iraq. I guess it takes a fundamentalist to know a fundamentalist.

There's so much he doesn't seem to understand, but at least he's having fun.

Chickenhawks are hatched early


This is something you must watch and distribute - young college Republicans flexing their...intellects? Amazing work by Max Blumenthal (pictured at left).
