I’m sorry, but I just can’t imagine a bigger dumbass than MSNBC’s Laurence O’Donnell. In a Newsbusters<\/a> link sent to us by AverageNCO, O’Donnell, who avoided the draft with college deferments, questions Herman Cain about his deferments from his draft board because of his critical work for the Navy;<\/p>\n

I am offended on behalf of all the veterans of the Vietnam War who joined, Mr. Cain. The veterans who did not wait to be drafted like John Kerry who joined. They didn’t sit there and wait to find out what their draft board was going to do. They had the courage to join and to go and fight that war. What prevented you from joining, and what gives you the feeling that after having made that choice you should be the Commander-in-Chief?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m offended that draft dodger O’Donnell thinks he can speak for “all of the veterans” of any war. Now, I’m no Vietnam veteran, myelf (I turned seventeen the last year of the draft), but I didn’t hear O’Donnell speak up when Bill Clinton, the quintessential draft dodger was running for office. Nor did O’Donnell bother to stick up for George H.W. Bush – the veteran in the 1992 election, or Bob Dole, the veteran in the 1996 election – both of whom faced a true draft dodger candidate.<\/p>\n

His feigned outrage rings hollow at this late date. It always seems that Republicans are always “avoiding Vietnam” even if they join the military, but Democrats aren’t expected to join the military at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
