AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth
Jon Soltz of VoteVets.org is one mean sonovabitch. And he's on our side. Thank God. Watch him take on this far-right nut on Hardball. The nut, Buzz Patterson (Buzz? Okay, that's kinda gay), is calling Hillary an anti-American socialist. Yeah, that's a rational argument. Soltz really is amazing, he won't let the other guy interrupt him, which is a tough thing to do on TV. He does it, with gusto. Watch this video. The other guy can't stand that Jon is an actual Iraq war vet. That Jon fought in Iraq and this guy didn't. That Jon speaks for our troops in Iraq because Jon WAS our troops in Iraq. All the other guy can do is what every coward does when he's forced to defend a lie. He yells and whines and throws out bizarre freeper words like "socialist" (socialist? what are you, twelve?) because if he were forced to articulate an actual argument, an intelligent rational thought, just one, he'd lose.Note from Joe: Who would you rather have defending you? I'd take Soltz any day over that Ann Coulter-like filibustering right winger. But these two represent the very real choice America faces. Seriously - who would you rather have in charge of defending your country, Jon Soltz or "Buzz" the crazy yelling guy? Why is it that so many right wingers come off as such whiners? Watch the GOPers start attacking Soltz now. He's their biggest fear in many ways. An articulate, tough, smart veteran... who has been in Iraq... and knows what a disaster Bush's war is. Soltz is the kind of guy the Republicans should honor, but they'll go out of their way to dishonor his war-time service to his country because that's what Republicans do. They only honor our troops when it's a PR stunt.
