"Hagel would do himself and the president a big favor by stepping aside. His performance during his confirmation hearings was embarrassing."
"Hagel... made himself look like a fool. In fact his inability to answer questions before the Senate committee alone should be enough to derail his nomination."
Why are the people making comments in response to this column attacking the columnist rather than attacking the President and his inept, ignorant, and anti-America Secretary of Defense nominee?
Maybe Obama's antisemitism is a contagious condition; it's already infected Chuck Hagel.
Chuck Hagel's nomination to be secretary of defense is in trouble -- as it should be. The former Republican senator has so much baggage, it is amazing that the administration hasn't dumped him, as they did Susan Rice when her proposed nomination ran into trouble. Unfortunately, having won that battle, the GOP may be in weaker position to defeat another Obama nominee. And Rice, her misstatements about the attack on Benghazi notwithstanding, would have been a less dangerous cabinet member than Hagel.
Hagel has made clearly anti-Semitic statements before public forums time and again. If his target had been, say, blacks...
Never mind that the last breath out of his Tea Party detractors is less debt.
Making statements without any information to prove your point sounds like you just spewing hatred and show your ignorance.
I can field this one. US "aid" (tribute is more like it) to Israel and Israel's never ending war to drag the US into a regional war on their behalf.
