Jon Soltz, the steaming turd

Ya’all might remember the incident last year when a soldier in Class A uniform addressed the panel at a Yearly Kos convention and he was attacked by a little mealy-mouthed former Army officer by the name of Jon Soltz who spewed shit-house rules at the young sergeant about wearing his uniform while making “political” statements. Well, here’s a picture of that Army officer named Jon Soltz;

And here he is, as Uncle Jimbo wrote at the time, “in the tone of anal-retentive pissant officers round the world tried to shut [SGT David Aquina] down.”

Soltz runs VoteVets, which is probably a fine organization except for the fact that they allow Soltz in their ranks. First understand that the top picture was taken during Jon Soltz’ lengthy tour of nearly four months in Iraq as a motor officer. My guess is that the photo was taken during one of Soltz’ coutless breaks from filing 2404s in his air conditioned trailer. Somehow, Soltz figures that gives him the authority to speak for hundreds of thousands of veterans of that conflict.

Last month, Soltz wrote a lengthy missive trying to link John McCain to al Qaeda using some al Qaeda dingleberry’s faux endorsement with this brilliant bit of language;

Of course, this “endorsement” shouldn’t itself influence voters, as Hamas’ statement on Obama shouldn’t.  The American people shouldn’t base their votes on the basis of what maniacs say.

But it once again underscores the question of who would be stronger in the fight against al Qaeda, which candidate is proposing a stronger plan to go after those who attacked us on 9/11, and which is for continuing the policy that has allowed al Qaeda to gain recruits and regain strength.

Soltz, in his partisan, bitter and inexperienced mind, makes the olympian stretch that Barack Obama would be tougher on terrorists than McCain would have been. Outside of DKos it would be difficult to find anyone else with half-a-brain that would give the al Qaeda reverse endorsement so much ink.

But today Soltz stepped way over the line. He sent an email to Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward, in his usual cowardly manner;

Dear Stinky Hagg

Well, it was a long campaign season, and there was a lot of work to be done.  I wanted to first thank you for everything you have given us and our endorsed candidates.  I’m very excited to report to you that all the work has paid off, and we’ll be sending a new crop of veterans to Congress, to join those we currently have there……..

Thanks for all of your support.

Sincerely,

Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran
Chairman, VoteVets.org

I’m fairly sure Soltz learned a different way for an officer Commissioned by Congress to address ladies while he was a cadet at the University of Pittsburgh.

But that’s what Soltz relishes – picking on people who can’t fight back. He became a slobbering cartoon character when he confronted SGT David Aquina at the Yearly Kos because he knew the young buck sergeant wouldn’t knock the little sissy out and he calls girls names by email.

Hat tip to Skye.
