"I'm a veteran and we need to get behind our President..."

[kentuck]

If I hear one more caller on C-SPAN say this bullshit, my head is going to explode. No, goddamn it! We don't need to get behind a moron that lied us into a war that cannot be won. What we need is to get him and his "co-President", Mr Cheney, out of office as soon as possible, before they kill all of us. And it makes not a damn bit of difference to me if he's a Republican or a Democrat, when someone so out of touch with reality is willing to take our country over the cliff, it's time to get off the fucking bandwagon. Just how much of this "terrorists are coming to get us" do you believe?

Open your eyes, you stupid motherfuckers! You are destroying our country. Not just Mr Bush and Mr Cheney, but every goddamn ignorant ass that calls into shows like C-SPAN that still support these lies that are destroying our country. You are responsible. Use your head for something besides a friggin' hatrack! And stop calling into C-SPAN with such bullshit!

Even the US has its group of "good Germans"!!!!

[JacksonWest]

4. Hmmm. Where was this vetran when Clinton was in office? NT

[Drifter]

6. Damn you got me PUMPED

You are so right. If you don't mind I would like to pass this little gem to a few people I know

[EndElectoral]

7. I'm a veteran of combat and disagree with that veteran

[misternormal]

8. I'm a vet, and * can kiss my ass...

[peace13]

9. I have had to give up on Cspan. Too many idiots!

What kills me is that 70% of Americans are supposed to be against the war and they still have every other call coming from a pro war imbecile. Go figure! peace, Kim

[bdamomma]

20. you just have to pick when they have Dem callers on

they devoted WJ to Dem callers one morning last week, and it was great!!

[Bluebear]

10. It's easy for someone to say "I'm a veteran", too.

Do I think that some member of the 101st Chairborne would claim to be a veteran to make a point on-air? You bet your ass.

[Turbineguy]

12. 101st Chairborne

LOL That's funny!:yourock:

Maybe he's even a wombat veteran.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. I'm With You Bluebear

I think about half of them are lying about being in the service. The ones who say they just got back from Iraq, really are the liars. I figure the probability of that many "just got back" vets calling into a show like this is about one in a billion. So, either it's a remarkable coincidence, or someone's lying.

22. and those that say, "I'm a combat veteran..."

I was in Vietnam but I was not out in the bush. Like the majority over there, I was in support and transportation, which was vital but it was not considered combat. However, it seems that every Vietnam veteran that calls in is a "combat veteran". It's just not possible...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

34. Vietnam-Era Veteran

Caught a Republican candidate using that on his website. Turns out he never left the United States, but served in 1966-1969.

[Yavin4]

39. Yeah, The Very First Thing Returning Vets from Iraq Do Is Watch C-Span

Not watch hundreds of DVDs, nor play video games, watch porn, have sex with their S.O., hang out with their kids, etc.

No, the very first thing they do is watch C-Span.

[WinkyDink]

11. I'm SURE these callers said that in the Clinton (or even Carter) years.

Riiiiiiiight.

[proReality]

13. How can we expect anything different...

when the media doesn't investigate and inform the public of real facts? Not everyone has the time to search for the truth.

I think we need to start our own hard copy newspapers and begin handing them out in our communities. If a relatively small group of friends made a few copies each, with a note on the masthead asking that everyone reading the paper make a few copies and hand them out, a decent number of people could be reached. It could work.

[lpbk2713]

14. I'm a veteran and BushCo is the absoulute worst thing that has ever happened to this country.

That whole damn lying, deceitful, profiteering bunch belongs behind bars. The November elections made that statement loud and clear.

[spanone]

15. I'm always puzzled why veterans groups rally around war....legal or illegal

I would think they would be the most vocal group opposed to putting their brothers in harms way?

[Edweird]

16. If that "vet" supports * he can re-up or shut up.

[Ganja Ninja]

17. I'm a veteran I say we need to get behind our President.

Get behind him and push him out of the White House.
Get behind him and push him on to a plane bound for the world court.
Get behind him and push him into the cell that will be his home for the rest of his life.

[jmowreader]

27. But that would involve...TOUCHING him!

You'd have to bathe in DS2 for a MONTH to get that much slime off your hands. (DS2 is a decontaminating agent for military vehicles that have been in a gas attack. It works by stripping the paint off the truck.)

This veteran says we find the battalion that's lost the most troops in this illegal war, allow them to draw weapons, and have them march Bush onto one of those cattle cars they had at Fort Dix.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. Ft Dix cattle cars? Is that like a CBR (NBC) shed?

To share the experience of tear gas?

It couldn't happen to a better bunch of low-lifes.

edit to add: also a vet

[jmowreader]

31. Cattle cars were how we got there

Fort Dix was the Army's northernmost basic training post, and because of its location (very close to the Atlantic Ocean, and in America's flattest state) there was a post regulation that set minimum temperatures for marching troops to the various training ranges. The Army doesn't stop training just because it's too damn cold to get there, so they did the next best thing: bought a fleet of the kind of trailers used to take cattle to market, had benches and handholds put in them--the benches I never understood; those trucks held about a hundred standing soldiers, so they always sent one truck per 100 troops--and had the students in the 64C Motor Transport Operator's course drive the trainees to the ranges.

Cattle cars isn't a euphemism--they really hauled us around in cattle cars.

[ThatsMyBarack]

29. Get behind him and....

....shove him into the fiery depths of HELL! :evilgrin:

[peekaloo]

18. lemmings!

geronimooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[Hubert Flottz]

19. I'm a veteran and I've been way ahead of that POS from day one!

I was never fooled by that fool. NEVER!

[solara]

23. I agree whole heartedly

How can anyone STILL be so damned ignorant and irresponsible? What in the hell is it going to take to open the eyes of these idiots?

:grr:

[UTUSN]

24. I'm a veteran and we need to kick that p.o.s. OUT of the president's house. n/t

26. They say, "I'm a veteran ..." hoping to make their argument legit ....

... wonder what their justification is in their blind acceptance and total worship of all the chickenhawks in this admin?
I don't watch C-SPAN call-in shows for this exact reason; same reason I don't watch * "speeches". Just taking care of the ticker.

...O...

[mix]

30. hey vets

on the left and right, aren't you citizens first?

why does military service bestow moral authority when war affects us all ?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

32. I'd love to get behind him

with a pitchfork.

[Rex]

33. I'm a veteran and we need to kick the be-hind of our President.

Lord knows no one else will!

[shadowknows69]

35. I suspect maybe the only thing he was a Vet of

was maybe a game of Grand Theft Auto. I've maybe heard 1 in a thousand soldiers ever say anthing like this. Troops don't talk like that. In my experience most could even give a shit who the President is. There world is their brothers, the mission, their and immediate command. In that order.

[BuyingThyme]

36. The best ever was the "troop" who called Malloy and explained

that he was calling via cell phone from North Korea where he mans "Patriotic Missiles."

[notadmblnd]

37. yeah, we need to get behind our pretzledent....

one citizen at a time, take their foot and kick his butt across the country coast to coast

[sampsonblk]

38. Veteran here. I agree with you

I was watching one of my childhood favorites, Schoolhouse Rock the other night. "America is going to elect a President," they said, "and he's going to do what the people want!"

How did this thing get turned around backwards in so many people's heads?

[MoonRiver]

40. I'm the daughter of TWO veterans and all three of US think * is a stupid incompetent P.O.S.

You know, for every one of those clowns who call into C-SPAN, about 10 vets call who are completely against * and his imperialistic policies.
