CORRECTION — In the headline, I incorrectly assumed that Mr. Sailer was a Liberal. Typically this kind of mockery or the military is part and parcel for the Left. The guy is probably more conservative than liberal, but has some ideology all his own (citizenism). But when it comes to the military, the guy’s a jackass.

Some sniveling little shell of man named Steve Sailer — apparently he’s a book and movie review writer — had this to say about John McCain (not the Senator, but the Navy aviator):
Will McCain, who finished 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy and who lost five jets, return competence to the White House?
You know what? I’m not a fan of Senator McCain’s politics — but not for a second would I begin to have the balls or the audacity to criticize this man’s service to our country. And I’ve been to war myself, unlike the asshole who wrote this.
Uncle Jimbo at BlackFive (who’s also knows a thing or two about war) puts Sailer in his place:
What a jackass you are Sailer you pitiful sad little scribbler. I know Sailer not at all, he appears to write book and movie reviews. I guess never having had the stones to strap yourself into a cockpit and fly into the kind of shite that will get 5 planes blown out from under you, you still feel fine making fun of it. F**k you, you little punk. Talk about his politics all you want, but shut your festering gob when you reach warrior issues, you aren’t a big enough boy to do that.
I guess BlackFive doesn’t allow for uncensored F-bombs. No such policy here — so, Fuck you, Sailer, you worthless piece of shit.
Why don’t you go make fun of one of the Democrat Presidential candidate’s military record? Oh, that’s right — not a one of them ever had the patriotism, the selflessness, or the courage to serve in our military.
Heh.
Just for the sake of completeness, you might point out that this guy was just picking up on themes developed by the right-wing anti-McCain veterans groups.
Oh, and do you guys think, that after 2004 Swiftboat Liars, that y’all have any credibility cussin’ out those who criticize veterans?
