Everywhere but on the Left
Polls are starting to show that there is growing support for the surge. Because it’s working.
But you don’t need polls to know this. Just listen to the Generals and the actual boots on the ground. They’ll tell you that things are a-changing in Iraq.
Or listen to journalists and bloggers, such as Michael Yon, who are actually on the ground (and have been for quite some time), embedded with our troops.
Or of course you can continue to get your defeatist, anti-military view from the DailyKos:
Do I still support the individual men and women who have given so much to serve their country? No. I think they’re a bunch of idiots. I also think they’re morally retarded.
It’s sad, but the worst possible scenario for the Democratic party is if somehow our another or boys in Iraq are able to actually win this damned thing.
And that’s pathetic.
Jesus, Robbie, it’s not my sense of humor either you do know that A. Whitney Brown is a professional comedian?
Do you really think that he is also upset that he didn’t get a “skull or something to use as a paperweight” or that he has “paid hundreds of dollars in taxes over my lifetime, hundreds of dollars!”
A. Whitney Brown wasn’t posting on Kos as a professional comedian. You’re really grasping at straws, pressy — as usual.
Ah. Got it. So it’s OK to completely ridicule and denigrate the men and women of our military as long as you follow it up with a “j/k”?
Sorry. But that’s bull shit. The thing about good comedy and humor, is that it’s often founded in generalized truths — or at least the truth as the jokester sees it.
And in the case of Mr. Brown, the truth is that he hates the military. He just so happens to find that funny.
I think it makes him a piece of shit.

And it’s not exactly like this is an isolated incident of troop bashing as the DailyKos. It’s a daily routine over there.
