Stark Comments 2
The scathing comments drew immediate condemnation from Republicans, who demanded he retract it. “Congressman Stark’s statement dishonors not only the commander in chief, but the thousands of courageous men and women of America’s armed forces who believe in their mission and are putting their lives on the line for our freedom and security,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.
When asked if he would take back any of his statements, Stark told KCBS “Absolutely not. I may have dishonored the commander in chief, but I think he’s done pretty well to dishonor himself without any help from me.â€
Fairly typical on the part of the Republicans, actually.
Rather than deal with the substance of the comments, they resort to ad hominem attacks.
Ad hominem attacks–the first resort of those who have nothing going for them.

Actually, I thought his comments were right on target. And the furor was not only typical, but funny.

Now is this the same incident Nancy Pelosi rebuked Stark for?
