You guys all remember super-douche Gordon Duff and his merry band of peckerheads <\/a>at Veterans Today, right? Well, I always figured that they would love the commies and socialists at IVAW and wondered why Vets Today generally avoided a relationship – after all, Gordon Duff wasn’t afraid to marry his publication to Mossad plots against Moscow and other crackpot shit.<\/p>\n

Well, finally one of the less senior wackos (not less wacko, just less senior than Duff) on the staff, Robert Hanafin dragged<\/a> them out of the non-gay closet today. After complaining that his job is so difficult at Veterans Today (it’s tough trying to link Dick Cheney to zombie sightings, ya know), Hanifin tells us that he discriminates in lending VSO-type aid to veterans who don’t think like he thinks;<\/p>\n

Thus, I must maintain a policy of only providing assistance and advice to Veterans and Military Families who question their wars, have no one else to turn to for advice, and are discriminated against by the mainstream VSOs for their ability to THINK.<\/p>\n

Veterans Today frankly has no Veterans Service Officers on staff anyway, nor do we possess the political clout of mainstream VSOs who are too close to Congress and politicians for comfort. Thus, I\u2019ve made a conscientious decision to refer any Vet or family member unable to question the war(s) onto a mainstream VSO. They should be able to satisfy your needs without discrimination, since you strongly support continuing the wars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then he tells us that we should all go to the IVAW convention in Austin;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, a website called “Veterans Today” complains that they’re considered crackpots by nearly every recognized VSO, and then immediately announces their intention to have a political litmus test for the veterans who might seek their help. Of course, their refusal to help certain types of veterans is probably doing those veterans a huge favor. And then highlights the IVAW convention – an organization jam-packed with and lead by non-Iraq War veterans. <\/p>\n

Who’s the real phony here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
