Salon is not only a smear source, but a bunch of sleazy hypocrites.

From RANGER GENERAL SCOTT MILLER at a ceremony for Ranger School graduates:

    "You’ll leave Victory Pond today with a small piece of cloth on your shoulder, but more importantly, you carry the title of Ranger from here on out".

And what have other RANGERS said about the situation?

That’s why Rick Merritt, the Regimental Sergeant Major for the Ranger Regiment, called Salon’s attack on Cotton is “almost slanderous.” “Cotton’s] 100 percent a Ranger, he will always be a Ranger,” Merritt stated.

But leave it to a PUSSY Coward F***** like yourself Rod, to Smear a guy like Tom Cotton.

Rick who?! Fact checked and wrong as previously noted. Stp getting your nonsense from the right wing swamp...

From the CNN article:

"At an outdoor ceremony, Maj. Gen. Austin S. Miller, commanding general of the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, addressed critics who questioned whether standards of the rigorous course were lowered for the two female Rangers. They met every requirement the men did, he said.

“Standards are still the same … a 5-mile run is still a 5-mile run,” he said. “Standards do not change. A 12-mile march is still a 12-mile march.”

Miller added, “When I shake your hand, I know there’s something behind that handshake. Rangers lead the way".

Perhaps a Pussy coward F***** smear merchant like yourself should go up to Maj. Gen. Austin Miller and tell him that Tom Cotton or the 2 women he called "Rangers" aren't really Rangers.

Do you have the stones smear boy?  

"Several examples provided by Salon and others on social media, however, made it clear that Cotton had, at times, suggested that he served as an Army Ranger while in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even if one were sympathetic to the argument that it’s a matter of opinion whether graduates of Ranger school can call themselves Rangers, it would be factually indefensible for Cotton to suggest he served as a Ranger during his tours of duty."

"And indeed, Cotton has explicitly made such a claim on more than one occasion. As Salon reported, Cotton told the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record in February 2012 that his “experience as a U.S. Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan and my experience in business will put me in very good condition.” As highlighted on Twitter, Cotton made a similar claim in a 2014 ad for his Senate campaign, saying “I made tough decisions as an Army Ranger in Iraq”:
" Cotton never served in Iraq or Afghanistan with the 75th Ranger Regiment. Because Cotton nevertheless implied or asserted that he did, the accusation he misstated his military history is here rated “True.”

I never liked John McCain, but I never denigrated his service to this nation, like this piece of human garbage named Rod Kaufman keeps doing, over and over to Tom Cotton. 

I'd like to see that coward called Rod Kaufman have the nuts to stand in front of any serviceman or GI who risked his or her life and badmouth them the way he does when he's on this forum.

Tom Cotton VOLUNTEERED to be on the ground with a weapon in hand.

I'd like to stand in front of Rod Kaufman and tell that maggot to his face what a piece of crap he is. 

He's too damned cowardly though to stand in front of anybody and spew his bile.

I hope China's pissed. They ought to be paying reparations for knowingly allowing their nationals to travel while being infected at the beginning of the pandemic when there was still a chance to prevent it.

Gee, why didn't  "America First" Donald Trump Think of that? Too busy golfing? 
"The AFL-CIO federation of trade unions welcomed Biden’s order.
“This order is a good first step in revitalizing U.S. manufacturing, which Trump’s policies failed to do over the past four years,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said.
"The Democratic president signed an executive order aimed at closing loopholes in existing “Buy American” provisions, which apply to about a third of the $600 billion in goods and services the federal government buys each year. The order will make any waivers more transparent and create a senior White House role to oversee the process."
“I don’t buy for one second that the vitality of American manufacturing is a thing of the past,” Biden told reporters before signing the order. “American manufacturing was the arsenal of democracy in World War Two and it must be part of the engine of American prosperity now.”

Well, at least Kohl's and Bed, Bath and Beyond have dumped his products. 
Additionally, these same right wing fanatics like Hawley who claim they're being muzzled are screaming on Hannity almost every night about it.  They're probably getting more airtime now than they did in the past...
