Kingdom of Idiots

Two can play this "chickenhawk" game.
I am glad you leftist fans of the "chickenhawk" meme served in Bosnia, Afganistan, Haiti, etc.

McQ at The QandO Blog pulls it better than I can.

"I am deeply insulted by some commenters’ insinuations that anyone not currently serving is a "chickenhawk".

Don’t be Hermit ... its a bankrupt term used by a bunch of hyprocrits who demand of others something they’d never do (as demonstrated in this thread)."

"They have zero moral standing when they argue in favor of war but aren’t willing to put their own ass on the line.

Just as those who oppose the war have zero moral standing unless they’re willing to place themselves in front of our troops and act as human shields in Iraq, huh?

I mean, stop the war, guys ... get out there and actually DO it.

Same principle, but you won’t see that happening anytime soon.

In reality, the meme is exactly what I pointed too previously. It’s an attempt by the left in this country to stifle debate. And it’s a contemptable attempt."

What is also funny is when they encounter someone who served in Iraq and supports the war (like LT/citizen Smash http://lt-smash.us/), they say "If you support the war, why don't you go back there?".

T he Chickenhawk Meme- Again

I love this quote from Jon Henke who I usially disagree with. However Santorum does seem to have Howard Dean foot in mouth disease.

UPDATE: (sigh) There's going to be a lot of this:
[long list of right wing blogs] Not one of these blogs has a single word on Rick Santorum calling the entire Democratic party Nazis. That's how they work, folks. This is how they do it.

Such cries of hyprocrisy would work a lot better if the blogger in question had criticized Robert Byrd when he compared Republicans to Nazis. Which Oliver Willis didn't. Come to think of it, I've noticed a few right of center bloggers criticizing Santorum already, but I don't recall a whole hell of a lot of Lefties criticizing Byrd. In fact, after searching a weeks worth of Memeorandum stories on the Byrd comment, I found only two Democrat bloggers who commented on it, and both defended Byrd.

Sideshow called Byrd's remarks "honest, intelligent criticism of GOP tactics", and TBogg dismissed it, writing "If this is what it takes to get their tighty-whities ... in a bunch, they must have something coming down the pike that they're really embarrassed about."

So, really, I think we can all get along just fine without cries of "hypocrisy" from them.

Santorum, Hitler and little history
