What the IVAW thinks of personal opinions

Last night, an IVAW member posted this on the “Members Speak” portion of their website; This morning it’s been removed from the IVAW website and the member is being considered for expulsion because the IVAW Board of Directors couldn’t summon the testicular fortitude to boot Carl Webb and it’s just easier to persecute members who […]

In IVAW news today

The word is that Carl Webb has been asked to leave IVAW. I can’t verify that, but his profile is gone; Here’s why he’s disappeared for the time being; In other news, something happened at Darnall Hospital at Fort Hood the other day involving some IVAW members.

Matthis the combat vet

Someone sent me an article from a CUNY LaGuardia newletter in which Matthis Chiroux does his best Ward Reilly impersonation, trying to sound like a combat veteran for the hairy-legged hippie chicks at college; Matthis Chiroux, a veteran at LaGuardia, and the last speaker, had the most powerful message of the event.

The New York Times, always looking for something to divert our attention from the facts, decided that the IVAW ass clowns at Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen, TX would have something irrelevant to add to the discussion of the murders at Fort Hood.

Drag Queens Against the War

I’m in joke-overload at the moment after reading an article in Huffington Post by Stephen Funk another IVAW member who didn’t serve in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Kokesh to Sheehan; at least the neocons were honest
