AARP Off the Cliff

Charles points out the AARP has proven their radical leftist bona fides by giving Daily Kos top billing on their Social Security Blog.

My post to the comments section simply asks:

It is not obvious to me why AARP supports Daily Kos with their link on the AARP Social Security Blog.

It is not obvious why the AARP would want to associate itself with someone who wrote a post titled "Every death should be on the front page":

"Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly.

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Scr*w them.

Read this and weep.

The "merceneries" were American citizens.

Way to go AARP.

It will be interesting to learn why AARP would link to someone calling Americans giving their lives in Iraq "merceneries" and someone who doesn't care about their deaths.

Real sweethearts all around.

I certainly will not join the AARP when the letter in the mail comes someday, unless, perhaps, new leadership drains the fever swamps of The Left which currently infest this organization.

I'm sure we'll be hearing a great deal about W putting old folks on the streets in the coming months.

It will be such edifying and informed debate coming from people who support someone, when confronted with the deaths of American citizens in Iraq, says "Screw them" (or "Screw them But").

UPDATE:

More fun.
