North Star Politics

Yesterday, Republican Minnesota posted about Cindy Sheehan's "attacks" against John McCain.

Now, I know that Sen. McCain may not be everyone’s favorite Republican (read: RINO), but he did fight for our country and spend years at the “Hanoi Hilton,” and we must respect that.

Republicans, as any reader of the news will know, are the champions of attacking and slandering veterans. The cases of this are too numerous to count; if you're a veteran who disagrees with the Republican, neoconservative agenda, you no longer deserve to be considered a veteran, because you are a traitor.

I left the following comment over at RMand haven't received a response.

Did you and do you support Republican smearing of veterans Max Cleland, John Kerry, Paul Hackett, and many others who stood against the War in Iraq? Do you stand with those who questioned their patriotism, their loyalty, and their competence?

Hypocrisy, more than anything else, distingushes a modern Republican from everybody else. Until I hear where RM stands on the slandering of the service of great Americans, I'll count him along with famous Republican hypocrites such as Tom DeLay, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly.
