General Jonah Goldberg of 101st Keyboardists Yawns while our Soldiers Die
Edited on Wed May-11-05 04:11 PM by RamboLiberal
From Daily Kos.

From a reader:
I loved your blistering critique of Jonah Goldberg (General of the 101st Keyboardists)...

I sent it to him with some choice words. His one word response: "Yawn".

I e-mailed him back and said:

"You 'yawn' while good Americans die...
Soo typical of your kind."

I'm thinking this campaign could grow some legs. What do you all think? Perhaps we should flood the 101st keyboardists emails with these comments?

2. The Repuke supporters of the war who are young enough
to join the military but have better things to do. You know the ones who will defend Bushies war on the keyboard, especially the pundits like Goldberg. Jonah cited that he was out-of-shape, 35, married, had a baby, family couldn't afford to take the paycut, etc. While all the thousands of our Army and Marines, especially National Guards and Reserves have family, kids, jobs, etc., they had to leave.

3. I would love to see Jonah Goldberg as the first conscript
if they bring the draft back. I would like to see his pink out of shape ass under fire in Bagdad.

6. Then Jonah should STFU, the fucking coward.
Cheerleaders for Death disgust me. Until he puts his ass on the line himself, he has no business cheering someone else on. He's a fucking coward, of the worst stripe.

7. For anyone who missed why Jonah can't enlist
As for why my sorry a** isn't in the kill zone, lots of people think this is a searingly pertinent question. No answer I could give -- I'm 35 years old, my family couldn't afford the lost income, I have a baby daughter, my a** is, er, sorry, are a few -- ever seem to suffice.

8. I have reasons why I'm not in the service, too...
Edited on Wed May-11-05 05:06 PM by Hobarticus
They're much the same as his, plus a few more. But I'm certainly not rah-rah-ing for war, either.

No, Jonah, no reason for your apparent bloodthirsty yet simultaneously cowardly attitude will suffice.

Not beating the messenger, RamboLiberal, this kind of thing just chaps my hide.
