Yesterday Tom Delay came out in support of the Duke

and called him a “hero”. This really got me thinking. I agree he is a hero
but why is it he can still be a hero after pleading guilty to federal felonies
and Rep. Murtha just issued a plan in Congress, something his job involves, and
the right attacks him as a “coward”. Apparently the right’s views of remaining a
hero is being a felon while if you just remain as a law abiding citizen your
hero status can be stripped.

Let’s see how much support Ann Coulter gives to a felon like Duke Cunningham
after

attacking Murtha last week.

The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose
other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no plausible
explanation for the Democrats’ behavior other than that they long to see
U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle.

They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on
withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are
not only traitors, they are gutless traitors.
