Fighting the War on Error

Preview: chickenhawks of tomorrow


This video is a tiny preview of what we can expect from tomorrow's conservatives, most of whom in this video are Chickenhawks (a.k.a. Cheney Republicans).

For those of you unfamiliar with the word Chickenhawk, it means, in a political sense, war-mongering hawks, mostly Republicans (and Joe Lieberman), who successfully skirted military service during the Vietnam War, or who have never served in the military for other reasons. These politicians will shamelessly criticize those who oppose war, painting them as Defeatocrats, Cut & Runners, Weak on Terror, etc.

Some excellent examples of grown-up Chickenhawks that these college Republicans no doubt look up to:

Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Rudy Giuliani
President Bush
Vice President Dick Cheney
Bill Kristol
Paul Wolfowitz
Newt Gingrich
Ann Coulter
Michael Weiner (who uses the last name Savage, in a pathetic and fruitless attempt to sound more manly)
Glenn Beck
Mitt Romney
Joe Lieberman
Trent Lott
Tom DeLay
Rick Santorum
John Ashcroft
Orrin Hatch
Pat Buchanan
Phil Gramm
Clarence Thomas
George Will
Dan Quayle

The list goes on and on, but I don't have all night.
