Only the STUPID "troops" support Bush the deserter over Kerry the hero
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 03:32 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
That much is true.

Given they're not as STUPID as Bush thinks they are, they must hate being used by the cowardly deserter in his last ditch effort to avoid becoming IRRELEVANT.

3. I don't.
Anybody who supports Bush is automatically stupid. Regardless of their occupation.

Present company included.

stupidity to rank and file people who may not share your same opinion.
You are the one who is socially blinded with broad brush classifications.

6. It's not a matter of opinion.
It's just blatant fucking stupidity.

Everything the man's done for the last six years has been one stupid mistake after the other.

And anybody who can't admit it is just plain stupid.

12. ...but you and the OP are first being critical of the TROOPS.
They follow orders thru a Chain of Command.
To criticize those who serve as being STUPID, as you have
continued to maintain, is at least discourteous, at most...disgraceful.
You want to attack * and his complete foul-up in his Administrations planning
for the peace effectively, then shout it from the mountain-top.
When you start being critical of the men and women who are LOYALLY performing
the duties of their sworn oath, then you are the one who is mis-guided.

16. Bullshit.
We're critical of Bush supporters.

Why are you denigrating our troops by saying they're all Bush supporters?

17. So TROOPS wasn't concerning military, but a reference to * supporters?
"Only the STUPID "troops" support Bush..." OP comment
"...regardless of their occupation" your comment

19. Did you notice...
the "only" and "support Bush" part, or did you just ignore it?

20. ...and did you notice that my first response
stated that the comment is offensive to ALL troops.

Furthermore, did you notice I elaborated that those serving follow a chain of command.
Those serving support the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, no matter who the President is!
or did you just ignore that?

The fact you want to compartmentalize US Troops, serving their country as being STUPID
for doing their duty, while individually supporting one side of the aisle, or the other, amazes me!

21. Yeah, that's why I'm asking if you noticed the "only."
See, this is exactly what John Kerry was talking about when he talked about intellectually lazy people painting themselves into cornwers.

"The fact you want to compartmentalize US Troops, serving their country as being STUPID
for doing their duty, while individually supporting one side of the aisle, or the other, amazes me!"

What amazes me is that you make shit up, pretend I said it, and then pretend to be amazed by it.

22. ...
(OP)
"Only the STUPID "troops" support Bush the deserter over Kerry the hero"

(Bornagainhooligan)
"Anybody who supports Bush is automatically stupid. Regardless of their occupation.
Present company included."
- So this isn't compartmentalizing troops who may support Kerry, compared to not supporting Kerry?
Are you saying you did NOT write this?

My point is: Not all troops support Bush, Not all troops support Kerry. Support is a non-issue because they swore an oath
to serve this Country, it's Constitution and the people who live under it's laws. To criticize ANY of those troops, is wrong. Be critical of the lawmakers and the Administration, as i said previously, but not the men and women serving YOU.

5. But of course that's not true.
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 03:56 PM by cali
It's the prism that you view things through, and it's mighty powerful, but that doesn't make what you said true.

And the OP is simply something written someone's "inner child", approximately 9, I'd guess.

9. Well, if you want to get techincal...
You can say Bush supporters are either stupid or immoral. Although I would add that immorality is a form of stupidity, and vice versa.

15. So do I.
In the real world, Bush supporters are plain fucking dumb.

They usually try to live in a fantasy land and pretend they're not, but heh.

and everyone clapped.

18. It's almost like they are drones for *
If they really disliked being in Iraq or were against * they would stand up. So far, we have only seen a handful of soldiers speaking out against *.

23. Are you trying to alienate
the last 2 troops that will consider voting dem or are you just like the "troops" that support Bush.

Little history lesson. The general consensus of President Clinton from the AD military was disdain, disrespect, not much hatred, just a lot of head shaking. However, to the person that sat in the chair of THEIR Commander in Chief, duty, honor, country. I really think that some people need to realize that the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and airmen can distinguish the man from the office. What Kerry said monday is being taken (after talking to numerous retired and AD folks) as a blatant insult to them.

Yell, scream, jump up and down and deny it all you want, but he did a whole lot of damage to any relationship that he had with the military, and whatever goodwill the democratic party had with the military. He blew it when he did not apologize right away, because I for one had never heard that "joke " that was supposedly botched.
