A few months back I wrote a story about Veterans for Congress, focusing in particular on Marine Gunnery Sgt. Nick Popaditch, who is running for Congress in San Diego’s 51st district. “Gunny Pop” as he was affectionately known in the Corps, was grievously wounded in the first battle for Fallujah, Iraq, when he was hit in the head by an enemy RPG. Medically retired, he lost one eye and retains 8 percent use in his second eye, only because of the medical staff’s heroic efforts and Nick’s indomitable spirit.

Nick earned the Silver Star for his battlefield bravery and innovation. Nick is also widely recognized as the Cigar Marine, who sat atop his M-1 Abrahams tank triumphantly smoking a cigar while members of his unit helped topple Saddam’s statute when the Marines liberated Baghdad in 2003. He wrote a book about his experiences, Once A Marine, which made the Commandant of the Marine Corps recommended professional reading list for all ranks, won The Military-Writers Book of the Year for 2009, and was a national book club selection.

Anyway, Nick has made traction against Filner in this approximately 2-1 majority Democrat district. As someone close to the Popaditch campaign relates:

Can only suspect their editorial slant, but one publication recently made the mistake of ridiculing Nick’s war wounds. The Imperial Valley Press put out a cartoon comparing Nick to, among other things, “Uncle Fester with an eye-patch.”
Big mistake.

Indeed.
Now, was this cartoon published to smear Nick? Since that is the Left’s only effective tool, could be. You decide. As Nick’s friend relates:

It's impossible to tell the whole story without quoting too much and getting myself in hot water, but it's pretty obvious the left tried their lowest smear. To belittle his appearance because he was wounded in Falujah. The left are the lowest of the low when it comes to scum.

One more quote says a lot:

Stunning, isn’t it? Such is the arrogance of the Left. To suggest that because someone hasn’t moved around with the big boys in Washington, DC he isn’t qualified, simply drives home just how bloated, ego-centric and conceited people like Filner are. Takes your breath away.

The left see their feifdom over the US being threatened and they are pulling out all the stops. Lying, smearing and even attacked wounded vets.

They have no decency, they have no morals, and they have no shame.
