So was this guy:

[img][/img]

Not only was (is) he a War Veteran.... he is a decorated war veteran.

Maybe that will shut them up. Or maybe they won't get it.

Maybe they'll get this:

Bowe Bergdahl was also serving our country and when he was rescued from being a prisoner of the taliban, the rw wackos were screaming on the airwaves and the halls of Congress that he shouldn't have been rescued because he was a traitor.

Tom Cotton may have once served this country in uniform. But he will forever be known as a Traitor.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On edit - the trolls were calling into talk shows and spamming online boards today saying how dare anyone question Tom Cotton because he is a Veteran. That is the backstory to this OP.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Word!

[samsingh]

2. so have a lot of soldiers who were executed or imprisoned for treason in the past

[jillan]

3. Exactly! We need to speak out when they try to defend Tehran Tom.

[Old Codger]

4. Really?

So am I .... FUCK HIM

On edit............ and his 46 horses he rode in on....

[dballance]

5. Guess all those people who say that should have laid off of John Kerry.

But of course not. It's totally okay if you're a Republican. Not so much if you're a Democrat.

[jillan]

7. Oh yeah! Remember those purple bandaids that made fun of his purple heart?

That really pissed me off!!

[dballance]

8. Yes. I thought that was extremenly disrespectful.

It was disrespectful to not just John Kerry but also every service member who has been awarded a Purple Heart.

[pinboy3niner]

15. THIS Purple Heart vet was so pissed off...

...I drove from California to Battleground Ohio to volunteer for Kerry for the final months of the campaign.

[mylye2222]

43. Along with clapsing flip flops with thzir hands and chanting " Kerry flip flop"..

It was like warching kids bullying another... a total shame.

[handmade34]

6. Tom Cotton...will forever be known as a Traitor

[Cha]

21. "Traitortot".. mahalo handmade

[2naSalit]

23. Amen to that! n/t

[MiniMe]

9. Add John Kerry to your list that they smeared!

[Cha]

22. Exactly Minime! Oh yeah.. We Can Call Out, Tom Cotton mouth.

[MiniMe]

28. Love Cotton Mouth!

[Cha]

31. It's what he got.

[mercuryblues]

47. add Max Cleland

[procon]

10. Well, as usual, the backstory has alluded me, nevertheless,

what is the correlation between military service and an act of sedition? The two are diametrically opposite and no amount sugarcoating is going to change the fact that this guy held his honor so cheaply that he sold out for a few sheckles.

[jillan]

11. The wackos were calling into talk shows today & busy online saying how dare we say anything bad

about Tom Cotton because he is a Veteran.



Guess I should have put that in the OP.

[procon]

19. Thanks.

Yes, that does seem a rather weak, mealy mouthed excuse to cover up what this disgraceful traitor did. He took an oath when he was in the military, and he swore an oath when he became a US Senator, but he through it all away when he whored himself out for fame and fortune.

No pity.

[YOHABLO]

12. RW Obama haters think he's a hero. That won't change.

[G_j]

13. and Timothy McVeigh nt

[geek tragedy]

14. They smeared Kerry, and Carter, and every other democrat who had

ever served.

Fuck war pig Tehran Tom.

[Cha]

16. So was Timothy McVeigh, jillan.

[jillan]

17. Yep - there is a long list of them.

[Egnever]

18. Focusing on this tool is silly IMHO

He is the patsy. Senior senators signed this letter, Senators with decades in the senate. They Know exactly what they did and why it was BS but did it anyway. This guy is a rookie idiot. Mcinsane and friends should never have let this happen. They should be the focus not this tool.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. And, this guy. He was also a politician.

[The Wizard]

36. You know not many people know this

but Der Fuehrer was a terrific dancer, and he could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon ------------ two coats .

[world wide wally]

24. I don't care if he rode a horse up San Juan Hill……. he's still a traitor asshole

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. To any of those fuckwit trolls spewing such hypocritical bullshit, I have two words.

Max Cleland.

[Oldtimeralso]

26. Have You Heard of the New Group from D.C.?

Tehran Tom and the Traitor-Tots!

[still_one]

27. There are people who are great, and people who are assholes

Tom Cotton is a veteran. Veterans are people. Cotton happens to be one of the people who is an asshole

[Iliyah]

29. Ditto - Max Cleland

Also, Tammy Duckworth.

GOP base suffers from memory loss or in their minds GOPers can't do no wrong. That only GOPers are patriotic and love America which is a bit psychotic.

The current GOP party equals to psychopaths.

[mylye2222]

44. Ditto. John Martha

[JHB]

49. Hell, add George McGovern. Flew 35 bomber missions in WW2...

...as a B-24 pilot.

[malokvale77]

30. Fuck Tom Cotton

Yay Bowe Bergdahl.

Fuck the system that benefits Cotton and persecutes Bergdahl.

[Crabby Appleton]

32. I think you're confused, the Unabomber - Ted Kaczynski

isn't a veteran.

[TwilightGardener]

37. I'm assuming the poster meant Timothy McVeigh.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

52. Is that who that was?

I was trying to guess. Son of Sam? Zodiac guy? I hadn't gotten anywhere near Unabomber.

[sabrina 1]

33. What utter nonsense. They'll be apologizing to Max Cleland, decorated war veteran and triple amputee

for the despicable false smears they spread about that war hero.

And John Kerry, another veteran who was smeared and attacked and had his war record questioned by them.

And Gen. Clark

And WW11 War Hero, Sen McGovern, who was attacked with some of the vilest smears.

Not only did they personally attack all these war veterans, they attacked their Military Records.

[SunSeeker]

35. Yup. The GOP lied about those vets, but Dems told the truth about Tom Cotton. nt

[pinboy3niner]

41. Those were shameful attacks

The swiftboaters motivated me to drive across the country to volunteer for Kerry. It was all work and no pay, but I had a blast in battleground O-HI-O.

[jillan]

55. Max Cleland - that was heartbreaking the way they went after him! nt

[SunSeeker]

34. K & R

[47of74]

38. Fuck him and all the idiots defending him too.

I don't care if he was crucified next to Jesus Christ. He is a traitor.

[BlueStater]

39. Yep.

This guy's military service is completely irrelevant to me. His despicable actions as a senator make him a fucking traitor totally undeserving of any respect.

[Hugin]

42. So was Benedict Arnold, what's their point?

I am so sick of right wing clownsplaining.

[The Rob Black Show]

45. Plus Cotton violated chain of command

That's something the military doesn't play with.

If he had done this to a general, he would've been court martialed.

This is actually worse, because the Commander in Chief outranks a general.

I say firing squad at dawn

[leftynyc]

46. I'll give him the same respect

the cons gave John Kerry, Max Cleland and Wesley Clark - which is absolutely none at all.

Edited to add: Tammy Duckworth

[hobbit709]

48. This vet says he's an asshole.

[Lochloosa]

50. I'll take your word for it.

[B Calm]

51. and this vet will call him a traitor.

US Navy 69-73
USS Albany CG 10
USS Yosemite AD 19

[TheKentuckian]

53. I wondered who was making such stupid and weak defense on here

I was like who sniffs a uniform like that???

Carry on!

[City Lights]

54. Who is saying Tehran Tom cannot be criticized?

Could it be chickenhawk members of the GOPee?

No one is above criticism. Period.

[Myrina]

56. So was McVeigh ...

n/t

[kydo]

57. I'll stop bashing Tehran Tom when the rw stops bashing the President of the Untied States

During the w's time we were told we can't bash him cause he is the prez and we must respect the office of the prez. Same as vets no matter the war. We must respect their service. I'm cool with that.

Of course they assumed only republicans served in the military. And never in a trillion years did they ever think a black man or even a woman might become President.

So when Kerry ran for President the rw trashed his military service. The dude even earned 3 purple hearts in Nam. That's messed up.

Of course just when you thought you had seen enough of this outrageous bashing Obama is elected President. And whoa mama did the wheels of any respect drop like all the weight of the universe from that car. No President has ever been subjected to this type of behavior. None. Not even the really scumming ones.

So sure, as soon as the rw starts showing the President of the United States the respect due, Tehran Tom can kiss my tiny little white ass. Vet or not.
