Generation Chickenhawk: With The College Republicans

Max Blumenthal takes us on a hilarious and shocking tour of the College Republican National Convention, where the GOP's next generation cheer on the war in Iraq, then make sorry excuses for why they can't serve. Also featuring Tom DeLay, brainwashed evangelical youth, and moving interpretive dance by Blumenthal.

but if there was a draft do you think these coward Republicans would have served? hell no, they would have done their best to get exempted from service with one excuse or another, they are big warmongers but of course never have the guts to serve in one, just like their coward chickenhawk heroes from Fox "News" and conservative talk radio, can't find a single veteran among those hypocrites, they love talking the talk but don't have the courage to walk the walk.

Mitt Romney was also a college Republican. He protested FOR the Vietnam War but got four draft deferments keeping him out of it. At first it was him attending college then he spent a few years in France as a Mormon missionary, thankfully he managed to convert no one to Mormonism.

Because you can't just "join up" the ATF. It's a law enforcement agency. The Military has open enrollment.

So if you are not one of the 2 to 3 percent of the population that has seen combat then you can't voice an opinion about foreign policy? So I guess military dictatorships are your thing then.

I also demand to know why people against combustible housing have not joined their local fire department.

I want to know why pro-gun control liberals have not joined up with the ATF.

chickenhawk, also known as cheap way to get around debating the issue on its own merits...but if we are going to be cheap, I'd like to see all the pimps for the term "chickenhawk" personally implement door to door in northern idaho another favorite policy they have: gun control, all things being fair.

I agree with Gore Vidal's idea that Americans live in the United States of Amnesia. I mean, we just went through 8 years of Bush, and people are still stating that the GOP is the party with America's interests. WTF people, the GOP ruined the country and they are out of touch with reality but there are still enough people that vote for them to make collections close. Listen to Marco Rubio's response to the state of the Union if you don't believe me that the GOP is out of touch.

Chickenhawks are the most despicable of cowards. They'd prefer others do their fighting. Great work, Max.
