Staining The Memory Of Our People

This tells us that U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner said that the deaths of 3774 (to date, from here) of our service people in Iraq is “a small price.”

And by the way, as Slate notes here, two of those casualties were contributors to the New York Times Op-Ed on Iraq that I posted about here.

And this post from last July states how Boehner called U.S. senators who want to change course in Iraq “wimps.”

Here’s a way to contact Boehner and tell him that you think he is utter scum. And that’s the kind version of what I think of him at this moment.

Update 9/13: Good comeback by House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn here...here and here are good also (and good for Van Hollen to emphasize "minority" leader).

Update 9/14: The good John Kerry stands up against Boehner here, but the bad one dimed out Moveon.org for the Petraeus ad here (in a polite, gentlemanly way, but the net effect was the same as the hysterical Repug response).
