I've seen some funny stuff on the blogs, but this is the best one yet. I am merely POINTING out that you can twist anything into a GOP troop hating rant. You on the FAR right have perfected it. I have been called a troop hater more times than "phony Soldier" rush can even dream of. you defend ONLY soldiers who follow the party line and who dont question.

And here it is. And in a MINIMAL form, no less. By sentence:

I don't know what this means. A "GOP troop hating rant."? Does this mean that the "GOP" hates troops and rants about it. Which troops? Who in the GOP has said this? Is this even what is meant by this sentence. What is being twisted?
What does this MEAN?

Perfected WHAT? Hating troops? Twisting things? Which Things? Who said what, exactly, that indicates hatred of troops, generally?
I have no problem with generalizations -- in fact, I prefer them. Communication would be very difficult without the ability to generalize. BUT, what generalized action or statement has been made by ANY "GOP"er that suggests general disdain for troops?
Was there any specific statement by any regular poster here that prompted this statement? Or has ther been a baseless CREATION of an issue out of nothing, and based on nothing.
Is a disrespect or dislike for specific INDIVIDUALS who themselves have shown hatred or disdain for the military and its members, to be equated to a "hatred for troops" in general?
Is a hatred or dislike of a scumbag like Jack Murtha - who has BECOME an embarrassment to the uniform - equated to a generic despite of our brave soldiers?

I imagine that Yeti has been called "troop hater" for good reason. But, even if unjustified, the fact that Yeti has been called "troop hater" somehow (in his mind) justifies him in calling others "troop-hater". This is likely because he cannot comprehend the rationale for others calling him a "troop-hater", and, because he cannot or will not acknowledge it, he feels that he has been called "troop-hater" for no reason. Now, no one here called him "troop-hater". Nevertheless, because he cannot understand why HE has been called "troop-hater", he feels that he can justifiably call anyone else "troop-hater" for no reason whatsoever.
No one that I know of has called Rush a "troop-hater".
The "Phony Soldier" reference was related to ACTUAL "PHONY" soldiers, and was made BY Rush. The appellation of ""Phony Soldier" Rush"" siply makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

I'm not sure what "party line" he's suggesting that troops need to toe, ideologically speaking.
And, what does it mean "soldiers who don't question"? Soldiers who don't question orders? Yes, absolutely. Soldiers who question orders throw the entire chain of command into anarchy. The very NATURE of BEING a soldier IS obeying orders unquestioningly.
If, however, it means soldiers who do not question the need or purpose of the larger engagement as a whole -- well, YES to that, too. We do not have a draft. Anyone who has enlisted since 9/11/01 has KNOWN what he was getting into. Anyone who had enlisted previously, hoping that they would never be called to action, and who -- after the fact -- objects to the purpose for which they are deployed is only essentially objecting to their own POOR DECISION to join the military. It's not a kaffe-klatch; it the Armed Forces of the United States existing to defend this nation as deployed by the Commander in Chief. Anyone who doesn't like it can refuse to serve -- and be Court-Martialled.

This is cognitive dissonance horse-crap. I have defied this lame argument elsewhere:

No one has bashed any of these men except Kerry in this thread. Now we are expected to justify an un-expressed, ASSUMED "bashing" of five other men. As if we all agree on each, and as if we have exactly the same reason to dislike one as we have for all others.
I'm not sure who is meant by "gods chosen leader", as if each of these men's actions were in response to the directives of a single Leader.
Again, no one has chosen, in this thread, to degrade anyone or their service -- except John Kerry. But, rather than discuss John Kerry, individually, and the reasons why many of us may not respect him; we are instead accused of "bashing" five OTHER people -- with Zero evidence, or need of even bringing it up.

I think that was meant to be "smearboatliarsforbush" -- meaning, presumably the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth". This is old news, but I brought it up because of the way the media now uses the VERB "Swiftboating". If this is the one issue that I can address, I'll try to do so -- though I have to go back in time & do some re-research.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But none of these things addresses the issue at hand.
The issue is this:
In one of his briefest posts -- totalling 7 or 8 sentences -- there are at least 20 different issues, each of which could easily dominate an entire thread.
With posts like this -- containing innumerable statements, presumptions, accusations, etc -- there is absolutely NO way to respond in one entire thread, let alone a single post.
It is insanity. We are witnessing the ramblings of an incoherent mind.
Again, I hope that we do not reject opposing thought on this forum. However, such opposing thought must at the very least conform to some kind of standard that makes it possible to respond in a rational argument.
I don't know if any communist is capable of thought this concise. Maybe not. But Yeti/What/Exercitus does not fit the bill of a rational arguer (and, in my opinion, needs serious therapy and/or medication -- ritalin, perhaps)
