TSO sent me this link from Moonbat Central at Veterans Today in their own discussion of the war we started with the VFW PAC entitled VFW Endorsements rile the grassroots<\/a> written by Michael Leon. <\/p>\n

Leon defends the VFW PAC by pointing out how other PACs support candidates from both sides of the aisle based on their voting records. He spends an inordinate number of column inches on Vote Vets. Every time a writer does that, you can bet he’ll screw up. After quoting Jon “Hanger Queen” Soltz, Leon writes;<\/p>\n

The VoteVets.org PAC leadership picked 10 veterans to endorse for office this year, including one Republican.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, really? Which Republican would that be<\/a>? <\/p>\n

In the VoteVets PAC’s “About Us<\/a>” page it says;<\/p>\n

VoteVets.org PAC has three primary goals:<\/p>\n

Elect Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans to public office \u2013 regardless of party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I asked them the other day which Republican they EVER supported. The answer came back; Chuck Hagel. Well, Chuck Hagel isn’t in the running this year, and as far as I know, although he was a veteran, he’s not a veteran of either Iraq or Afghanistan – unless you count the sharpshooting he did at President Bush. <\/p>\n

So I’m wondering which Republican they’re supporting this year. A dogcatcher in Bumfuk, Montana?<\/p>\n

See, if you go to Iraq Veterans for Congress’<\/a> website, they tell you in their “About Us” page right up front, that they only support Republican veterans.<\/p>\n

Vets For New York <\/a>does the same thing.<\/p>\n

But VoteVets even supports non-veterans, even though their About page says that they only support veterans. Just yesterday, they announced they’re throwing another 200 grand into their ad buy for Harry Reid<\/a> in NV. That’s a total of $600k for a guy who has never served a day in uniform…in fact he avoided the draft during the Vietnam War by taking a number of college deferments, the same thing Dick Cheney was criticized for eight years over.<\/p>\n

But $600,000 for a non-veteran? From an organization that calls itself “VoteVets”? There should be a law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
