Support the Troops

From Crooks and Liars, Bill Maher on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country:

Let me suggest that in a world turned hostile to America, the smartest message we can send to those beyond our shores is, “We’re not with Stupid.” Therefore, I maintain that ridiculing this president is now the most patriotic thing you can possibly do.

And by the way, when people like me ask questions about “does it still make sense to have these troops under fire?” That is supporting the troops. Asking for a plan is supporting the troops. Sitting around and parsing the meaning of “civil war”, that’s not supporting the troops, that’s supporting the President, and he’s not a troop, he just plays one on TV.
