The Liberals' True Nature
With all the blegs of Chairman Dean ("...,you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow..."), Bush spending his political capital to a 45% approval rating, and natural, slow growing ginseng, I thought I would remind the blog about the true feelings of many liberals.
Kos, as I'm sure you know, is the official unofficial spokesblogger for the radicalized Democratic minority.
"Support the Troops" and all that goes with that (including supporting the large number of civilians who are aiding Iraqi freedom) is obviously said through a clenched jaw, not grinning teeth. If mainstream Americans had not thoroughly shamed liberals into supporting those who provide our blanket of freedom, who knows what additional things they might be saying.

You should seriously consider investigating your claims before posting them. After doing some research, you should also consider sticking to the truth of what you report.
1) Kos volunteered and served in the United States army from 1989-1992, so I very much doubt that he clenches his teeth when he says that he supports the troops.
2) You link to a page that does not distinguish the fact that Kos (who works tirelessly for veterans rights) was not talking about US troops in that statement, he was talking about mercenaries for hire, "security guards" who get paid as much as 5 times as much as US troops while under contract to the DOD, who are operating outside of the reach of US civilian or military law in some very questionable circumstances. . I don't agree with what he said, but there is a big difference between US troops and soldiers of fortune, and that is a distinction that you intentionally cover over in your post.
