In reply to the discussion: loser fuckheads accusing obama of using soldier as a "prop" [View all]morningfog
(18,115 posts)137. It is more nuanced than you make it.
The conservative criticism is that it was great to honor the soldier, it was a beautiful moment and that Obama shouldn't have done it because he's not worthy to. They say they hated the speech until that part.
The liberal critique is that the rest of the speech was very good, but ended on a sour note. That we should not hold endless wars and endless deployments up as a point of pride. The soldier was used to suport the perception of the military and war as an American strength, which we should be beyond.
Then, there are those who think that the speech was perfect from start to finish.

It's obviously a meta(ish) call out of William Pitt and those who rec'd his posts, and so was yours.
