fuck John Podhoretz. in fact, i hope he's reading this thread.
john, you are a scum sucking peice of shit. you are not fit to spit shine the boots of our troops. wingnuts like you - who refused to question the wisdom of the bush administration - are the reason our troops are dying at higher rates than they should be. i dare you to come say to my face that i - or anyone in this community - don't support our troops. i didn't want them to die in the first place, and now that they are there i want them properly armored and i want them to come home safely and as soon as possible. and by god if i am going to sit here and watch YOUR bush administration slash veteran's benefits. FUCK OFF.
John Cornyn is an asshole with shoes. Support Rick Noriega!

"Democratic Party bottom-feeders -- like the odd and unpleasant people who inhabit the comments sections on Web sites like dailykos.com and democraticunderground.com -- have already long since started spewing their bile at our soldiers, sailors and Marines."
Mr. Podhoretz,
Do you even read these websites or do you simply engage in ad hominem attacks based off of information from your buddies at the water cooler each day? First, Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (the webmaster and primary author at Dailykos.com) is an Army veteran and a survivor of the civil war in El Salvador, I would think he knows a little more about supporting troops than someone like you. Second, it's people like you, who think that all human life is expendable in the name of extreme right-wing ideology, who really don't give a damn about the troops. Your support of an administration that has led our men and women into the biggest death trap in a generation with false information, no discernable battle strategy and a criminal neglect for the well-being of both troops and civilians is the real enemy to democracy. I pray to God that clearer minds and morals than yours prevail during the upcoming years, because your columns are poison in the well of rational political discourse. Have a good day.
Angry letters to 2-bit columnists, what a way to spend 5 minutes.

I read your article in the Post and was frankly astonished, but not in the way you were. The fact that support for the was in Iraq stands at ONLY 60% of those fighting it is not encouraging. It means that fully 4 out of 10 soldiers do not support the war they are fighting. Do you think that 40% of soldiers in WW II didn't support it? I doubt that. So would my father-in-law, who flew B-17's out of England over Germany in 1943, and hates this war too.
The war is a mess, to think otherwise is to deny reality. The planning for the aftermath was a joke and the result a shambles. The whole enterprise was based, if not on lies, than on shaky assertions that have been conclusively proven to be untrue. I happen to one of those "odd and unpleasant people" who reads and sometimes even comments on Web sites like dailykos.com. I, and the others of my ilk, have never spewed our "bile at our soldiers, sailors and Marines." My bile is reserved for a dishonest administration, a cowed congress and press, and fools like you.
To me, and many others, when thinking about odd and unpleasant people your name comes to mind.
I think he needs a lot of emails from us "bottom feeders."
