| EFL An American National Guardsman serving in Iraq was castigated for writing a letter supporting President Bush, with one critic suggesting that he did not exist but was a fictional character dreamed up by the administration. Fictional in the minds of cowards, yes. Spc. Joshua Madsen, 26, of Indian Harbor Beach, Fla., is serving as a rifleman with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 124th Infantry. Hoorah! He is stationed at a base called The Combat Outpost in the eastern section of Ar-Ramadi, one of the toughest parts of the Sunni Triangle of Iraq, and has dodged explosions and bullets on patrol, according to the St. Augustine Record. Once... Madsen, in civilian life a Brevard County firefighter, set off a minor firestorm when he wrote to his wife, Rachel, expressing his support of President Bush and his Iraq policy and asking her to share its contents with his veteran friends back home. Twice, two times a hero... Moby Then his testosterone level dropped... oh, wait. He has none! Say, Spc. Madsen, what do you have to say to the buttweevil? Madsen heard of this and fired back at Moby: "At first, I couldn’t believe it," he said. "I was appalled. What was he saying, that a soldier couldn’t write a letter like that? I responded with a letter to my wife to forward to him." And Moby Of course Moby has not responded, nor has he posted the letter, nor has he recanted his ridiculous statement regarding a patriotic soldier. There is more. See here. |

| #33 Is Moby . . . setting himself up for another vicious beating? More like a harpooning, I would think. |

| #31 OP -- How about "Free Mikey," alluding to "Free Willy?" |

| #30 God, please don't let Moby and Michael Moore beach themselves on the same beach - the putrid smell would send people screaming for 40 miles. "Moby" is self-explanatory, but we need a cetacean-related name for Michael Moore, and his alter-ego, NMM. I'm open to suggestions. |

| #29 Excellent examples of Rantburgian sarcasm and satire all. KTM, please write "My sarcasm will contain humor" 100 times during recess tomorrow. Class dismissed. |

| #25 Bomb-a-rama, he's an over the hill techno music guy who was briefly famous because of his affiliation with that chick from "no doubt". |

| #24 Forgive me for not knowing (I guess I'm a bit old), but WTF is "Moby"? And of what significance is this person? |

| #20 A pun, word play or even downright silliness is appropriate. That's why muck4doo is the RB AlphaTroll. |

| #19 We really shouldn't be too hard on trolls, lefties and Dims in general. After all they have given us John Fonda Kerry. Who else could lead our troops and nation in a full fledged retreat from their duties and obligations? They have no honor. |

| #16 Come on KTM, sarcasm should contain an element of humor. A pun, word play or even downright silliness is appropriate. You receive an "A" for spelling and grammar; a D- for content. |

| #15 Why doesn't Moby, Mike Moore, and Martin Sheen join the Kerry campaign, they certainly helped Dean and Clark! Moby? Has been and almost was. |

| #14 Troll alert! Between their offerings to unseat the popular and successful President Bush of John F'n Kerry, the flipping Fonda fan, John Edwards ("Only my hairdresser knows for sure.") and Ralph Nader (Not like a Dem or Pubby! Whatever.), they're just so bitter. |

| #13 I support Dubya with all of my heart. If he nukes the entire middle east I will support him. Even as stupid and corrupt as he is he can see the way to do things: make the rich richer and let the middle class pay. I am rich and I benefit from his policies and the hell with the bleeding hear liberals. Get It On Dubya!!! |

| #12 Maybe Andy Rooney, Michael Moore and Moby can all sit on a claymore. Don't want to waste a good weapon on just one mentally deranged liberal. Michael Savage is correct...liberalism is a mental disease. |

| #8 With a FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR from the US Senate, emergency provisions would allow subversives to be ordered held in concentration camps for the duration. |

| #7 Is it my imagination or is this the worse negative slur, forget the facts,campaign ever embarked on by a political party. |

| #6 RC: Don't know about you, but if I see some scum spitting on any returning soldier, it'll be MY turn to defend THEM. An assault charge is a small price to pay in thanks for service... |

| #5 The latter one RC. He helped sabotage us in Vietnam and they're hoping he'll do the same in Iraq. |

| #4 Should we start a pool on when the left starts either spitting on returning soldiers or calling them "baby killers"? Or does Kerry's lead in the primaries mean that's already happening? |

| #3 Moby better keep an eye out, most of the 124th is back or on the way back to Florida. |
| Posted by: Shipman 2004-2-24 7:56:58 AM |
| #2 I'm not surprised coming from the left. It is a despicable vile act by cowards. I guess the far left can't get it through their heads that most of us Love President Bush. |
