Great American hero, Paul Rieckhoff (we wrote about him and his courageous statements against the way the troops were being treated back in May of last year after he returned from Iraq) has asked me to lend a link to his fundraising efforts for Operation Truth. Happy to. Please check out his site and support the great work he’s doing by buying a few dog tags in support of our troops!

Also, keep an eye out for the documentary Gunner Palace, filmed by the troops in Iraq, which (we believe) he exec produced. Hopefully it’s coming to a theater near you. We recently saw the trailer (you can see it online at the link above) and can’t wait to see this film!

    Brad –

    At the top of your site, several times this evening, a games ad has appeared for a "shoot-em-out-in-the-air gaming site. Inappropriate? I would say so!

    Please challenge your sponsor’s sponsors. This is the wrong message.

    Brad-

    Since the Neocon Republican Main Stream Media bias continues …. why do we need them? We have you, Raw Story, Buzzflash etc.

    How about a "Velvet Revolution" National MSM Boycott …. incourage readers to cancel (tell the media why) newspapers, magazines and do not watch "Fox" News and other cable/TV News programs?

    Think a National MSM Boycott might wake them up????

    Yeah, Brad. I’m just a little PC about violent video games; I hate them and I don’t think they’re good for kids. They inure them to actual violence, unfortunately. Pac Man I did enjoy; and Pong. Am I dated yet?

    Many of the folks who play those games are adult men, and women, Peg C. But I agree that these games often fall into the hands of young kids that they were not intended for. Online gaming is a big business and FPS, ( first person shooters) make up a pretty large portion of the demographic. it shouldn’t surprise you to know that lots of cops and active duty military love to play them.

    Nobody serving in Iraq has a minute for Riekhoff.

    He is considered another Vietnam like War Protestor helping the enemy kill Americans.

    Shame on him.

    Shame on you liberals.

    Sorry, Franekbush. We’ve been through this before. People protesting against the war are not helping the enemy kill Americans. They are trying to stop the killing. The people killing Americans are in Iraq and they are using bombs and bullets. We are elsewhere and we are using words. Nobody ever got killed by a word.

    Some people are still drinking 35-year-old Kool-Aid. It’s sad that you are apparently one of them. You seem pretty smart, at least when you are talking about ABC News being destitute.

    Do you want to know how that particular lie got started? It’s an interesting story. You can read all about it in a piece called "A Perfect Double-Cross" at please don’t read my blog.
