Oh, boo hoo, nasty people are still picking on Lew. Why he's a Vietnam Vet! How dare we exercise the first amendment right that he fought to protect!
Lacking any ability to justify his misbehavior and the consequence with facts or logic, Lew continues to chant, inventing a nonexistent narrative to assuage his butthurt.
It's sad that Lew continues to try to defend the indefensible, claiming there's some sort of time-out rule specially for him, because he's a vet, and this is a solemn weekend to honor those who died in battle. Sorry Lew, YOU are the one dishonoring the memories of these slain heroes with your bitchy whining that someone was mean to you and you were unable to restrict their right of free expression and silence them. Apparently Lew's current set of targets is Sean Emerson, Mark Engleman, and by association, David Madore. Lew picks on Madore because he knows that nothing he says can injure the other two, because they just don't care. So, having to hurt someone, he hopes to have an impact on David's reelection campaign, even though David has nothing to do with Lew's problems, and no control over what's written here. Quite frankly, we at Lew Waters Watch don't care what David Madore thinks, and don't consult him about what we write and don't write.
For the record, Lew is maligning the good names of three honorable vets himself. David Madore served as an enlisted Nuclear Power Plant technician aboard submarines in the US Navy. Mark Engleman was a US Naval Aviator. Sean Emerson was an Electronic Warfare Systems specialist in the US Air Force. This makes me think that Lew doesn't have any respect for veterans.
Lew also has this strange idea that Lew Waters Watch wants to force him into lockstep. Far from it. We respect Lew's first amendment right to say whatever he wants. He, on the other hand, doesn't respect our first amendment right to highlight the outright silliness of what he says when he says it. If Lew wants to keep making himself look like a crying bully who got punched back, that's his business. We take no pleasure in watching this man self-destruct because of his own bruised ego.
To all the families of fallen veterans, we remember your sacrifice, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Those of us who served, are serving and will serve always remember those whose watch was never relieved, who now stand guard in heaven. Please accept our apology on behalf of our brother in arms, who has tried to hijack this solemn holiday for his own selfish purposes. God bless you, and God bless America.
The only thing Lew Waters has that is larger than his Vietnam Veteran hat is his misplaced ego. I was a Naval Aviator on the USS Kitty hawk, the first attack carrier in the war. I was 21 years old. Lew Waters wasn't there yet and nobody cared. The only time I discuss my service is when the subject comes up in normal conversation or with fellow vets. The people I value as friends never use their service as a shield from criticism. Only a coward would consider that. I am also a friend, admirer and supporter of David Madore. David is another example of someone who never uses his service as a shield.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if Waters has the guts to call me a "goon" to my face. However, I have this guts to call him a disgrace to the brotherhood of those who served. It's not the size of your hat and the unearned scrambled eggs on the brim that count, Lew. It's the quality of the head that it sits on and the heart that keeps it going.
