Richard Belzer Loses It Like A Goods Little Liberal

J.J. Jackson* | March 18, 2006

I read this report on NewsBusters.org. It is an interesting read and insight into the mind of an anti-war lefty. Like a typical liberal Belzer resorts to the old standbys of liberal argument:
1) He calls anyone that disagrees with him stupid
2) He insults our troops
3) He curses when he realizes he cannot win the argument

Warning the following contains the actual words spoken in this exchange including profanities:

Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: ?Having been in Iraq a few times, and Afghanistan, having met the troops one-on-one with free reign and asking them what they’re doing, they’re saying ‘we’re proud of our mission, we know what we’re doing over here. We don’t want you guys in Washington to lose it over there’. And there is a great sense of determination that what they are doing is making a difference. And yes, it has been an important mission what we’re doing, come on.?

Richard Belzer: ?Yeah, come on. Our soldiers now are at-?

Ros-Lehtinen: ?Are a volunteer force, a volunteer force.?

Belzer: ?Okay, fine. No one questions the nobility and the honor that these men and woman who are serving and what they’re doing. No one questions that. But now they’re targets, they’re not going out. Now they’re just protecting each other and they’re in the middle of a civil war. So it’s really not fair to have these people who volunteered their lives to protect our nation under false pretenses to now be, to have targets-?

Ros-Lehtinen, over loud applause for Belzer: ?Ask them. Ask them if it’s fair! Wait a minute, wait a minute. My stepson, wait a minute, my stepson-?

Belzer: ?That’s bullshit: ask them! They’re not, they don’t read twenty newspapers a day. They’re under the threat of death every minute. They’re not the best people to ask about the war because they’re gonna die any second.?

Ros-Lehtinen: ?Wait a minute! You are talking about my stepson, my stepson who just finished last week eight months of duty-?

Belzer over Ros-Lehtenin: ?God bless your stepson. Doesn’t mean he’s a brilliant scholar about the war because he’s there. (applause) And God bless him.?

Ros-Lehtinen, quite agitated: ?Oh, you are though! You are though? Okay.?

Belzer: ?Well I have more time, I’m not there. My life is not under threat.?

Ros-Lehtinen: ?Thank you. I’m glad.?

Maher: ?I think the point he’s trying to make is that a 19-year-old who is in that army because he probably couldn’t find other employment-?

Ros-Lehtinen: ?He’s a college graduate. He’s a Marine officer. He volunteered for the Marines.?

Belzer: ?He’s the exception for the rule.?

Ros-Lehtinen: ?He’s not the exception for the rule. I’ve been there-?

Belzer: ?You think everyone over there is a college graduate? They’re 19 and 20-year-old kids who couldn’t get a job-?

Ros-Lehtinen: ?Yeah, you know because you’ve been there and-?

Belzer: ?What, I don’t fucking read!? Don’t do that!?

Maher, over Belzer: ?Woe, woe, woe. Come on. Wait, wait, wait. That, don’t.?

Belzer: ?Pardon my French.?

Maher: ?That was over the line and now you’re going to lose-?

Belzer: ?It’s this patronizing thing that people have about if you’re against the war everyone’s lumped together. You know, the soldiers are not scholars, they’re not war experts-?

Maher: ?You’re going to lose even me like Michael Moore did when he came down on Charlton Heston in Columbine.?

Bill Maher isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but one thing he does recognize is when liberals go too far.

So you heard it right from Belzer’s own mouth folks. Our soldier, while brave and honorable are stupid 19 years olds incapable of finding gainful employment. Gee, how “intelligent” Mr. Belzer. Good thing people pay you to act and not speak about politics. Because if they did the later you would be dirt poor and speaking only to enclaves of moonbats huddled away in a basement somewhere.
