As TSO mentioned earlier, dicksmith at VoteVets has a post up about a “War Criminal Caucas<\/a>” in Congress now that Allen West has won his election in Florida over a rich boy Boca Raton lawyer;<\/p>\n

In one of the most disappointing races last night, voters in Florida have ensured the House will have a War Criminals Caucus:
\nYeah, that Allen West:
\nI hope Republicans are proud of themselves. Maybe they can nominate a few child molesters and serial killers next.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So I tried to inform the VetVoice echo chamber with a comment that went along these lines;<\/p>\n

Usually we don’t call people criminals unless they’ve been convicted of a crime and punished for it. But I get the idea that there’s something else that you have against Allen West, and I can’t for the life of me figure out what that could be.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s because he’s not a pervert like Eric Masa<\/a> or an irrepressible mad man like Joe Sestak. He doesn’t have an irrational obsession over DADT like Patrick Murphy and he’s not a phony pretender like Tim Walz<\/a>. I mean those are the guys that VoteVets endorse for office, so I guess Allen West doesn’t measure up to those standards. <\/p>\n

But I can’t help but think it’s something else. It can’t be that he’s a Black Republican, can it? Nah, VoteVets is nonpartisan – look at at the countless other Republicans or blacks that VV has endorsed. <\/em><\/p>\n

Then I went on to recount all of the stuff you guys have read here before about them pouring $600,000 into draft-dodger Harry Reid’s campaign that they could have used to help out veterans of our current wars – you know one of the eight that didn’t win last night. (Links to previous TAH posts on the subject here<\/a> and here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The reason I didn’t cut and paste my actual comment (which was much better than the one I wrote here) is because dicksmith deleted my comment. I guess dicksmith didn’t like the way I characterized his candidates. So now I get to use my outdoor voice instead of being limited to the nine regular readers of VetVoice. And I don’t think I’ll delete myself.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> OK, I guess I didn’t get my comment deleted. dicksmith writes:<\/p>\n

If enough users rate a comment as being a “troll” comment, the comment will be hidden. Not deleted. It still exists, you just can’t see it. And I have nothing to do with that. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not deleted. You can’t see it. Not my fault. So I guess it was willfully ignorant readers. Still VoteVets.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
