I lent my support to the blogger, gabe (whom I don&#8217;t know &#8211; but he seems to have his head screwed on right) and I wrote in his comments section that basically, Kokesh is a lot of hot air and his threat to &#8220;stomp&#8221; gabe &#8220;into the sidewalk&#8221; was merely bluster.<\/p>\n<p>As you can read at the link, I also mentioned some of Kokesh&#8217;s more disingenuous moments including the fact the he still calls himself &#8220;Sergeant Kokesh&#8221; even though he&#8217;s been busted to LANCE corporal (that&#8217;s an E-3, by the way in the Army an E-3 is a PRIVATE First Class).
