Gingrich upset by Ron Paul's "chickenhawk" criticism

[lilymc]

IMO "chickenhawk" sounds milder than warmonger, which is what most of the other candidates are. *shrug*

Oooooh Ohhhhh OOOOOH

Me want 30- second ad with Newt Mitt and Santy and lotsa lotsa chickens!

Edit: Just add some bluegrass music for SC.

Good one!

Hmmm....Santorum is old enough to have served in Iraq in '91, wonder why he did not?

Ex-Senator Santorum may have been too busy preparing for his Senate record of earmarks.

These neocons beat their chest with their macho "hawkish" views. They present themselves as having bigger balls by not thinking twice about going to war.

Term chickenhawk undermines a bit their ballsyness. It leaves them a bit emasculated. They`d take warmonger as a compliment.

Perhaps warmonger would be best used in front of female crowds, as they don`t give a damn about pissing contests.

Aww, is his poor bucket of sad all full?

He can use those tears to water his garden of sorrow, and then eat it's fruit of bitterness.

Hahah, you're right about females and pissing contests. But yeah, I see your point now. I'll refer to them as chickenhawks, when talking to my neocon guy friends.

They all are chicken hawks, even a guy that served could bear that mantle if he was HQ or otherwise Noncombatant. We give that veteran status away to easily. What did you do to become a veteran? Played halo in the desert... that's nice, thanks for your service... WTF? I know Vietnam combat vets, and this shit confuses them to no end.

I think Newt saying that a Ron Paul presidency would threaten the very existence of America is a bit more out of line than a little pejorative.
