Suppose you work for a veterans service organization and you have $400,000 to spend on that service to veterans. What would you spend it on? Maybe lobbying to get the President to make a timely decision about supporting the troops engaged in Afghanistan? <\/p>\n

Maybe an outreach program to veterans who suffer from traumatic brain injuries or PTSD? Perhaps use the money to influence Congress to exempt veterans who rely on the VA or other military health care from the impending penalty for having free healthcare? <\/p>\n

Maybe something like a memorial to people who serve? An outward-bound program for disabled veterans? Something to let those currently deployed know that we’re thinking of them? <\/p>\n

Well, not if your organization is named VoteVets – you’d spend your $400,000 on RADIO spots for pushing a clean energy bill<\/a>. Yeah, they’re calling it an “ad blitz” but how hard is it to “blitz” a 19th century technology? And a “clean energy” ad buy? Of course, their strategy is to perpetuate the “war for oil” lie;<\/p>\n

ANNCR: There’s a new generation of American patriots – young veterans who’ve fought for our country overseas. Now, they’re on a new mission? right here at home. (Home State) veteran (Name).<\/p>\n

Local Veteran: Growing up in (Home State), nothing prepares you for the things you see over there. I saw firsthand how money we spend on oil is finding its way to the same terrorists we’re fighting against. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, who’d want to spend the money on something that helps veterans when you can prostitute yourself to MoveOn.org for a “clean energy bill”. Soltz, you make me vomit.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the key states that they’re targeting? Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, South Dakota, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Maine. 15 States. An ad blitz. Hold on to your hats, fellas.<\/p>\n

By the way, TSO noticed the other day that dicksmith now calls himself Richard Allen Smith. Wonder why?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
