Heh. Awesome.

/nothing more to really say about that

Just as kickass as the first time I read about this epic pwnage.

I heard he was a buffalo soldier. A dreadlock rasta. Stolen from africa, brought to america, Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival; Said he was a buffalo soldier in the war for america.

mamoru: Heh. Awesome.

THIS ...
this what honor and loyalty look like

thank you for being a true american

There's actually a longer version, as the farkwit keeps getting pwned and keeps coming back for more, and finally closes with...

"Uh...uh...uh...CINDY SHEEHAN!!!"

Worst. Comeback. Evar.

That's cool.

submitter: GOP goon writes WWII vet to try and find dirt on Obama's uncle. Response: "Please crawl back under the rock you came out from."

Ya' know, with all the BS that Hillary's crew has stirred up regarding Obama, I am actually surprised at your naive assumption that it's a GOP-controlled "goon" stirring all this up...Hillary's idiot supporters crap on Obama everyday on the intertubes, but you don't call them "Democratic goons".

goon (gūn) pronunciation
n. Slang.
1. A thug hired to intimidate or harm opponents.

Oh snap.

Shut down by the vet. Of course, the crazies will claim this is a conspiracy theory and they are covering up the real truth that Obama is really a love child of Stalin and Hitler.

/and possibly Hussein
//godwin'd!

Watch the right-wingers (and Hillaristas) try to turn this into a smoking gun when there are so many ways these spurious allegations can be wrong, if the initial web site isn't enough for you.

Yeah, how about you click a few links and go to the site that liberalish posted, which is from said GOP-goon, Steve Gilbert, who takes Mr. Kitchell's response and actually claims he supports Cindy Sheehan, after a follow-up email that Mr. Kitchell's sent suggesting they spend as much time chasing this BS as they do BushCo's lies.

Remove all Republicans: steelpeg: Ya' know, with all the BS that Hillary's crew has stirred up regarding Obama, I am actually surprised at your naive assumption that it's a GOP-controlled "goon" stirring all this up

Well, first Hillary wouldn't stoop to such a level to attack her fellow Democrats. The party faithful wouldn't go for it. The Republicans unfortunately don't have such high standards as they celebrate the more mud slinging their candidates do.

Nice troll...

"I wonder how many people who visit the 89th Infantry site and support Mr. Kitchell's work realize his politics are those of Cindy Sheehan?"

"Not to diminish anyone's service, but the 89th only got to Europe in March of 1945 and saw less than two months of the war."

"Still, it would be nice to have some verification, such as a serial number.

Especially in view of Mr. Kitchell's political leanings." (When and where the hell did Kitchell talk about politics at all, besides corroborating Obama's story?)

"If I recall correctly, Obama's uncle made a career out of the Army. I remember a few years back watching a documentary on him.
It was called "Major Payne" and one of the Wayan's brothers played him."

It's come down to this bullshiat.

that full exchange is pretty terrible to behold.

"Not to diminish anyone's service, but the 89th only got to Europe in March of 1945 and saw less than two months of the war."

Wow. Attacking a WW2 vet's service record to score political points is pretty goddamn low, even for GOP lackeys.

Bloody William:

(When and where the hell did Kitchell talk about politics at all, besides corroborating Obama's story?)

Kitchell snarled at them for trying to chase down this story while Bush was in the middle of comparing Iraq to WW2. Something like that is likely to upset a few veterans regardless of their politics.

Of course. I wasn't aware that getting (rightfully) touchy when shameless partisans try to pick apart service was "getting political," though.

That is just farking awesome.

Gunther: Wow. Attacking a WW2 vet's service record to score political points is pretty goddamn low, even for GOP lackeys.

yeah, "we won't diminish someone's contribution, but I will now go ahead and question their contribution in a manner which may diminish it based on their amount of action in WWII".

farking bullshiat. Even if someone served a matter of days in that hellish war, they should be commended for doing so because they more than likely got caught or killed or badly injured in their first real battle...does that diminish their sacrifice if they were unlucky enough to have a leg blown off fresh off the boat? Such an out of context measure of their contribution is ridiculous and offensive to anyone who served, imo. I know my grandfather and great uncle would have been EXTREMELY offended by all of this bullshiat.

ugh. Such partisan stupidity makes me get all pissy.

Careful there Obama-kun! A nuclear silo is right underneath your adorable feet!

i am amazed every single day by the idiocy of the "issues" discussed in this campaign. lots of people seem to have lots of time, money and energy on their hands to get it to this level.

I having nothing to add except "Awesome."

Bloody William: Of course. I wasn't aware that getting (rightfully) touchy when shameless partisans try to pick apart service was "getting political," though.

I wasn't agreeing with them, I just saying that's where they pulled it from. These are some of the last computer literate 23%'ers you'll see so their ways will seem strange to you and I. Any aggitation or grievance directed towards Bush or his policies automatically causes them to jump into full on "Shut up hippy!" mode.

GOP -- THE PRIDE IS BACK!!!

Wow. Classy bloggers at the conservative website this story originates from:

Glad I don`t have this assclown running a website representing a division I served in...he was probably as big an asshole then as he is now...in the rear with the gear hiding behind a rock with a white flag in his back pocket "just in case"!

/facepalm

Especially since that's a manufactured criticism - maybe they saw only two months of war before the surrender, but then they had the hellish job of the cleanup afterwards. It's not like all of Europe turned into The Sound of Music the day the war ended.

/After two torpedo attacks during the war, Grandpa was part of the Occupation in Japan. Bad stuff.

suggestive_eye_movement: /facepalm

Pretty much covers everything that appears on these so-called conservablogs. They're like veins of weapons grade stupid waiting to be mined and processed into troll hooks.

Well, I guess this ruins my chances for the Presidency. I did have a great-great uncle who served in Europe during WWII, but he never married so he could have been one of them homo-sexuals you hear about. He also liked to pinch us kids when we were running around the house when we were little, so maybe he was one of them there pedo-philes, too.

I didn't realize you need to go back about 4 generations and include collateral relatives such as uncles and cousins to make sure there are no scandals.

Why the hell would someone post that exchange? This is like me filming myself getting caught masturbating by my girlfriend's grandfather and posting it on youtube.

Blacks don't snitch.

I'm more worried about what will happen if people start looking seriously at the other side of Obama's family tree. His Kenyan great-grandfather had four wives!

Sen Joseph "Tailgunner Joe" McCarthy approves of this message.

I didn't think you were agreeing with them, it was more of a general statement about these knee-jerk douchebags' reactions.

On one hand, this is farking disgusting.

On the other hand, this is utter desperation.

Between both hands, we're seeing some disgusting acts of desperation that right-wingers and Hillary hold-outs will cling to fanatically like a 57-star flag pin. (He misspoke once in a speech. Really, do you WANT to get into a gaffe-fight when you have a single, half-full magazine and we have a freaking armory?)

I love all the posts that start out:

"Not to diminish anyone's service, but..." and then go right in and insult it.

I'm sure by tomorrow, these assclowns will be accusing the 89th Infantry Division of secretly being a Waffen-SS Werewolf unit.

I mean Christ, did you read the description of Birkenau? IT MADE GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON PUKE.

"Only a slave labor camp!!! HURRR!!!!"

Sgt Otter, thanks for your service.

The Republicans would do well to ditch these "gotcha" swift-boat tactics and focus more on Obama's actual plans for the country. The US has some fiscal problems coming down the line, and it's not clear that Senator Obama's plans are likely to help the situation.

That said, it's also pretty clear that John McCain has no viable plan at all other than "stay the course" which equals bankruptcy.

moothemagiccow: Believe it or not, they're fact-checking his statement.

I know from personal experience that oral family histories of previous ancestors' military service get distorted from misunderstandings as the stories are told and retold through the generations. If Obama wishes to make the story a part of his campaign, there's nothing wrong with attempting to verify the facts as he claimed them to be.

GOP goon writes WWII vet to try and find dirt on Obama's uncle. Response: "Please crawl back under the rock you came out from."

Because trying to verify a statement made by a politician is bad, right?

I started reading the comments and frankly I am stunned. Is this what people do to the family of a person running for president? His uncle obviously served, and yet they dig into every aspect of this old war vets life, including domain, etc. The respect those who have served only whe it serves their purpose.

Really, if someone has to nitpick to that extent they have become is the lowest form.

Actually, now the political process is just becoming sad.

Of course not. It's pretty embarrassing when Grandpa Prescott Bush was busted under the Trading with the Enemy Act for his business dealings with the Nazis.

I don't know if you have encountered anyone who actually served in the war, but I spend nearly every day with them. I volunteer my professional services at the Legion and these men are a different breed. They take no shiat.

They're not like us, they truly believed in a cause. It had nothing to do with politics. After 60 years these men don't give a shiat about the political process now. They paid their dues, raised families and lived with PTSD, amputations, sickness etc. without help from the government.

They went home and were horrible husbands and fathers, often abusive, because they did not have the resources or knowledge. They not only fought a war, but they fought for years afterwords to regain their lives.

These men don't want to play this game, most of them still fight, with themselves and their ghosts. They are disgusted with anyone who questions their mates' service, be it in an office or on the front lines and refuse to participate in this bastardization of the democracy they fought for.


/I get called "missy"
//kind of sweet

sleeps in trees: His uncle obviously served

Why is it "obvious"? Because Obama said he did? There's nothing wrong with fact-checking claims made in a political campaign.

Here's a good lesson into what happens when you trust someone too much and don't fact check.

log_jammin: Saying something once does not make it "part of his campaign"

If it was during a campaign speech, it most certainly does.
