…for his ad hominem (“slanderous,” Donald calls it) attack on Thomas Donnelly and Gary Schmitt.
Donnelly and Schmitt wrote that don’t-gut-the-military op-ed for the Wall Street Journal the other day (I mentioned it here), and Ackerman blasts them as “neocons” and KKK sympathizers.
I generally don’t like radical leftists, especially in foreign policy, as they enable America’s enemies. But I’m certain that Ackerman’s got a special place reserved in Hell – the way he condemns, defames, and demonizes those of upright moral standing and resolve – so things do even out in the end
Ooo. Ouch. Donald. You know it’s Holy Week, right?
This is just painfully obvious to me. Ackerman needs more traffic, so he’s making use of Rule #4: make some enemies. The only problem being, he doesn’t have the imagination to get anywhere past “Racist!”
As to Ackerman’s apparent ignorance about the military and relative strengths and weaknesses and the utmost importance of air superiority…well, nobody ever said you had to be smart or well-informed to engage in Rule #4.
One more thing. Ackerman starts his thing off by writing:
Tom Donnelly and Gary Schmitt of the American Enterprise Institute, members in good standing of the neoconservative cabal to eat your babies and conquer the world and then eat more babies…
All I can say is: we could stop eating babies if only the military would stop blowing up our pigs.
