".....But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper.

The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps....."

There is a lot of stuff there that ties back to him, isn't there?

At least now we know why he was part of the mob acting as a rioter.

Rightwingers will stop at nothing to smear veterans who fought for their country.

Sickening.

Compared to what? Profiling them as potential terrorists?

So if the veteran is leftist and hates the military, liberals support them. But if they're active duty, especially if they are recruiters, and are proud to serve their country then ultra-liberals hate them.

You believe anything you read, and that's the problem with conservatives. They watch FOX, listen to Glenn Beck, and believe every website that is linked to them.

You live in a black and white world that FOX News defines for you. I feel sorry for people like you. Led around like sheep.

I'd bet you money this former Marine is no sheep. Can't say the same thing for most conservatives.

Fox did not report this.

Can you find a link that shows they did?

I can't.

1. I didn't say "liberals" hate the military,...I said ultra-liberals hate the military. Examples of this include the 2003 case of public school teachers in Maine who verbally harassed students whose parents were called to active duty to go to Iraq, universities whose faculty and students verbally and physically attack military recruiters on campus, and most famous example of 2008 city of Berkeley vs the US Marines.
2. I don't watch the FOX news commentators. I catch FOX and Friends in the morning. Don't watch FOX news after that. Never watched nor listened to Glen Beck.

You know, it was "liberals" who don't like sending the troops into harms way for non existent WMD's in the first place, it is "liberals" who fought for increased G.I. Bill benefits and more guaranteed rest time between deployments, and on and on. In my mind, that means they care alot more about the troops than anyone in the Bush Administration, which never gave a damn about what happened to them in Iraq, whether or not they had the equipment they needed, and opposed the previous examples I presented.

I know who supports the troops, and who just say they do. Actions speak louder than words, yet somehow conservatives, by their propaganda machine, Limbaugh, FOX, etc, etc have convinced low information types the opposite is true.
