We have a Chartered Professional Accountant (Peden), attacking an Air Force veteran who served during wartime, with the not-so clever line,

“Do you agree with the blame America first crowd?”

This is the same line of ignorance that buried Rudy Giuliani’s bid for the Presidency in 2008.

Congressman Paul is advised on the subject of Suicide Terrorism, by Dr. Robert Pape. Dr. Pape’s Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism is funded by the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency, amongst others.

In my mind, it’s reprehensible for a chickenhawk to attack a veteran for not supporting America. Where was Chris Peden during Gulf War I?

It’s easy to talk war, when you’re sitting safe at home and other people are doing the dying. Almost as easy apparently as it is to attack the incumbent who has served his country, and continues to serve veterans as a civil servant.

In fact, during his Presidential run in 2007, Ron Paul has outpaced all of the Republican candidates combined (Q4), in donations from active duty military.

Chris, take a lesson from Rudy Giuliani. Whoever is advising your campaign on strategy, really needs to go.
