Site we can all go to for support for Tom Toles? If the "Joint Chiefs of Staff and the RW Hate Machine is after him...then we know he's hit a huge nerve in the BFEE!

Where can we go to support him? Anyone know? :shrug:

ON EDIT: All I could find on WaPo Site was the Ombudsman, but here's the address:

4. Rough stuff in the town that takes care of the freshly wounded.

I see Toles' point, but as someone who has volunteered at Bethesda Naval, it's a little hard to take.

I hope those guys didn't read the WP that day.

5. All I can come up with is WaPo Ombudsman's E-Mail and it's our old
buddy "Deborah Howell" of recent fame. Toles doesn't come up in the list of WaPo writers e-mails so I sent one off to Howell, urging the WaPo to support Tom Toles right to free, creative speech saying that we pay the salaries of the Joint Chiefs and don't expect them to attack someone's free speech when they are pointing out how many of our troops are lying with broken bodies and minds in hospitals because of lack of body armor and that most of them got their wounds in Iraq where they were sent without proper body armor or backup support.

I hope folks will drop the WaPo Ombudsman, Howell a line in support of Mr. Toles. I've seen Googling that the Right Wing has their attack machine out there astroturfing for him to be fired.

BTW...I was very polite to Ms. Howell realizing how think her skin is these days.

Here's the addy:
