Nice post, Mitch. This may not be the most original sentiment in the world, but we live in a world that has walls. The Great Wall of China, Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, the Green Monster. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s going to do it? Flash, Peev, Angryclown? I propose we just say “thank you” to the Marines and go on our way.

I wasn’t shooting for originality… 😉
To Peev’s credit, he was a soldier.
So thanks, Peev.

Wait, Peev served in the military? And you wingnuts are tearing him a new one day in and day out?
Thank you for serving our country, Peev. Some people may think it doesn’t rank up there with shooting their mouths off about invading other countries and whatnot. But Angryclown appreciates your service.
You didn’t do any o’ them Abu Ghraib naked pyramids or anything, right?

Peev served in the military?
Amazing that you got that, what with me typing it in black and white and all.

there seems to be some sort of interference on the line today.

I had no idea about Peev. I add my thanks.

I think it would be cool if Peev went all Rambo on you wacky wingnuts.

Ah, that wacky clown that we know and love. Cause if he was serious he would be endorsing the murder of people who disagree politically. Which would be far worse than whatever he is accusing Bush of this week.

The Second Amendment doesn’t say anything about an exception for unbalanced Vietnam veterans, Chuck.

Although if such a revision to the Second Amendment could be packaged so as to buy votes for Hillary, she’d certainly go for it.

Hypothetically shameful, eh Mitch? Imagine a candidate changing position on guns just to win votes!

If you’re looking for someone to criticize people swinging to the right, you’re barking up the wrong tentpole.
As long as he changes in the right direction? More power to him!

Interesting that you look at that picture and immediately use the word “tentpole.”
November 12th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Even more interesting that you say “changing position” and “gun” while talking about Rudy.

I didn’t. I was thinking of Hillary.
