Why do the Koran-burners hate the troops?

[backscatter712]

The wingnuts have been throwing this canard at us for years.

PAYBACK'S A BITCH!!!

Now that General Petraeus, NATO officials, and the White House have declared that the Koran-burning stunt is idiotic, reckless, and potentially creates danger for our troops in Afghanistan, I think it's time we ask why the religious right has such resentment for our men & women in uniform...

Why do they hate the troops?

1. Dunno

Repeating your opponents issue frame generally validates their views.

Stated prosiacally, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

2. Obviously

We, according to them, are still very much in danger from other religions, and our troops have yet to make the world totally safe for white anglo-saxon protestants.

After trillions of dollars spent, and no end in sight, the bible beaters are nervous?

3. That's the question....even the Commander of the Troops

in Afghan says it will hurt the troops. Remember when someone scratched their nose, the republicans replied....don't do that it will hurt the troops. They yelled that phrase day and night. And now...something really serious and they won't condemn it...typical republican nasties. The hate the American Military and now they are proving it. Simpson started it when he said they should drop the benefits for disabled veterans. What does that tell you about the FALSE PATRIOTISM the republicans are con stanly spewing.

4. I don't think they do.

I don't know their belief system, of course. They could be as wacked out as the right-wing Phelps creep.

Jones may think he is doing good for the troops for all we know.


Clearly a nutjob though.

5. I don't think they hate the troops. They just don't GIVE A SHIT about the troops.

And it would be fun to hold a Bible burning on the other side of the street (fake Bibles would suffice) just to see how they react.
