Those ultra-smart libs at Salon.com were probably looking to stir up their ultra-smart readers but ended up raising a hornet’s nest of outrage with a column published Sunday attacking men and women in the U.S. armed forces and police across the country.
With the ludicrous headline of “You don’t protect my freedom: Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracy,” the magazine betrayed only its utter ignorance of how the world works – and how real democracy is protected.
A subheadline of the piece says “Forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must end.” It’s a given that Salon writers (and readers) don’t know much about worshipping anything but progressive liberal heroes like the one in the White House.
But conservatives are giving them a lesson in how the country really feels about the men in uniform, with guns, who protect the democracy we live in – and the freedom of liberal morons to spew their filth.
Check out some of the responses, including a Twitter rant from Montel Williams, here:
@joanwalsh Joan @Salon owes #veterans an apology. This is as asinine as it is offensive, intellectually flawed. https://t.co/nxCVLQsEuo

@Salon @DavidMasciotra glad someone fought to defend ur right to prove “stupid is as stupid does” from cheap seats. https://t.co/nxCVLQsEuo

This piece by @DavidMasciotra is as offensive to #Veterans as it is intellectually dishonest. @Salon https://t.co/nxCVLQsEuo

@Montel_Williams We as veterans fought for his right to say what he wants. I dont agree with what he said but it is his right.

@ok_jarhead 100% but he needs to understand the only reason he has the right to be stupid is we did so 😉

@joanwalsh @Salon @DavidMasciotra this nicely conveys how STUPID and intellectually deficient David’s “piece” was. pic.twitter.com/DgOCqLd6tT

@Montel_Williams @Salon @DavidMasciotra I’ve served for 17 years, never once have I or anyone I’ve served with asked to be worshipped.

@blakezeff is this really @Salon editorial position? An apology is owed. https://t.co/EbMC6DLPpU

@Montel_Williams @Salon @DavidMasciotra this is highly offensive to me as the mother of a marine! It’s not about worship it’s about respect

If you are offended by really bad words, skip this last tweet, but it probably says exactly what many are thinking:
@Salon ON BEHALF OF EVERY MAN AND WOMAN WHO HAS SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES FOR THE PAST 70 YEARS (PROTECTING YOU), GO FUCK YOURSELVES.
