Protest at Walter Reed: Yesterday, Editor-in-Chief Ben Keeler of The Keeler Report asked us to condemn the protestors outside of Walter Reed Medical Center. We do. Just like those idiots with the NARAL ad, we disassociate ourselves. A hosiptal for war veterans is not an appropriate place for protest. While we disagree with their location, we defend their right to exercise their free speech: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." - 1st Amendment
Ironically, yesterday was the day the Bush administration decided it will close the Walter Reed Hospital, which has treated thousands of injured Iraq war veterans.

I am glad you had some backbone to stand up for what is right. I salute you for it.
Ben, even your compliments make me cringe.
You're glad we had "some backbone."
(You really know how to woo a girl.)
And on your site you said you were glad to see theChiefSource condemned the protests "although it took them a while."
Ben, you first posted on the subject YESTERDAY! And theCheifSource responded THIS MORNING!
Sometimes I wish we didn't waste our breath on you.
(Please cross me off you're 'I guess he's OK' list.)
ben, why don't you have some backbone and condemn this stupid war. what is it for now? 9/11? no. wmd? no. democracy? i'm afraid that one doesn't work to well now either....
tim
Notice.......how many 'red' states have so FEW fatalities
compared to 'blue' states......sad that there has to be ANY
fatalities in a war that was ill-conceived and unsuccessfully
fought !!
I have been thinking. We have been duped by Ben. Do I agree with the protests at Walter Reed....No.
But to allow Ben to force our hand was a mistake. Where is Ben condemning the persons that defaced and destroyed the crosses of fallen soliders down in Crawford? where is ben to condemn Rush Limbaugh for saying Sheehan is "making this all up?" where is ben to condemn Pat Robertson.
NOWHERE. But for him to have the nerve to say "I hope they planned on it anyways" if a freaking joke....Ben, are you planning on a Robertson post? are you planning on a post regarding the men that defaced the crosses of fallen soliders in Iraq? have you planned a post denouncing Rush Limbaugh's atacks on Iraq war veternan Paul Hackett......NO!
I know get what you were insinuating....we (and all democrats) don't support the troops. It is all you have left, is to distort our patriotism. and because it is a brutal tactic, we fell for it. your side has nothing left, so you pick and grasp at little shit.....while ignoring big shit.
Right on, Chuck.
ben, i read your response to this. that's fine. and it is true, i don't know your ultimate motive.
however, i will stand by that you have no room to expect outrage by us because of the walter reed thing, when you go ignoring all sorts of stuff.
everyday both sides of the aisle have persons on the edges of the party embarrassing themselves....it is not our duty to call them all out....especially when people on the opposite side (you) refused to acknowledge disgusting things done by your side.....and what makes it worse, is that one of the chief scumbags is limbaugh....and you actually like him.
