From DC Media Girl: There’s a consistency in the targets of the right wing attack machine. It would seem that Karl Rove and his merry band of minions at Fox "News" are eager to heap a big serving of extra-special venom sauce on one particular group of people: Patriotic Americans. Let’s see who’s been in the crosshairs lately:
John McCain: McCain’s naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. Spent 3 of his 5 1/2 years as a POW in solitary confinement.
Max Cleland: Captain, U.S. Army 1965-68. Awarded the Silver Star and the Bronze Star. Lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam.
John Kerry: Lieutenant, U.S. Navy 1966-70; Awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star with Combat V, and three awards of the Purple Heart for his service in combat.
Joe Wilson: Acting U.S. ambassador in Iraq in 1991. Shielded 800 Americans at the embassy in Baghdad during Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. Gave a press conference wearing a noose around his neck, later explaining that the message to Saddam Hussein was "If you want to execute me, I’ll bring my own (expletive) rope".
