The Web site Big Hollywood has a blog from Chuck DeVore, who is running against Sen. Barbara Boxer in 2010. Now, some of you probably know where this is going already. As some of you also may recall, I was critical of Sen. Boxer for what seemed an arrogant lack of respect toward Brigadier General Michael Walsh this week during a hearing on Capitol Hill. While I think Sen. Boxer could have displayed a little more respect for the environment Gen. Walsh is coming from, I do draw the line with this blog below:
Barbara Boxer’s snippy confrontation with Brigadier General Michael Walsh on Capitol Hill on June 16, 2009 (Don’t call me “Ma’am,” call me “Senator”) wasn’t a display of a lack of proper military respect for Boxer, it was an open display of contempt from Boxer towards the people who serve in the military. That the Senator’s contempt was open and obvious shows Boxer’s lack of acting skills – most liberals have mastered the art of at least acting like they respect the men and women in the armed services.
That is a bunch of bull, and it’s sad when some of these conservatives come out and try so hard to portray some liberals as being against the military. Look, Sen. Boxer (in my opinion) made a bad choice with her words, but that is not indicative of “contempt from Boxer towards the people who serve in the military.” To make a comment like that makes you question the writer’s agenda.
Speaking of the writer’s possible agenda:
Here is DeVore’s bio from Big Hollywood:
Chuck DeVore is a California State Assemblyman and candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010. He retired from the Army National Guard at the rank of lieutenant colonel and served as a Reagan White House appointee in the Pentagon. He co-authored the novel China Attacks.
I think DeVore could have made his point without making such a blatantly outrageous comment about Sen. Boxer’s feelings for the military. To exploit the military for political gain is wrong.
