Comments on: Is it safe to call John Brownlee (Republican candidate for Attorney General) a clown yet?

Wikileaks has posted John Brownlee’s military docs, and they show that he:

A. Was on active duty for a year, when he kept acting as US Attorney and therefore broke the law.

B. He got the Justice Department to get him off of active duty early – only served three months.

John Brownlee, the military veteran who went home early.

What’s even funnier is that John Brownlee is claiming his military service as a major part of his qualifications.

Problem is, he got the Justice Department to get him off active duty during the War, so he only served three months while the rest of his unit served out their full year tour:

“conflicting biographical sketches”

There you go again LI. Show me where Ken EVER stated in any bio that he was never commissioned in the USMC and you’ll have a conflict. Otherwise he’s been totally consistent on the record of his military service!

“Brownlee had a distinguished military career, I’m sure he would have no problem releasing his records – feel free to contact his campaign”

You mean like you contacted Ken’s campaign anytime before or after you posted your leading innuendo trying to smear Ken’s record??? NOT! I’ll bite though. If John Brownlee is willing to make public all of his personnel records in military and federal service I’m sure Ken would be willing to release his DD214 (probably his only record available given his short stint in the service, if he even has it).

Folks, calm down. Most folks who knew Cuccinelli in passing had no idea that he was in the Marines. He does not include it on his bio normally. As a matter of fact, I think it is to his credit that Cuccinelli doesn’t try to dig up every single thing from his background to put in his bio. (One candidate in Florida once put down that he made all “A” grades in school from first grade through college, and that he had a perfect score on his SAT, etc.)

Even if someone does not consider Cuccinelli’s Marine Corp commision as miliatry service, what is really important is this: Cuccinelli was willing to serve, made every effort to serve his country.

But Brownlee can’t be faulted for not knowing about Cuccinelli’s military service–in my own informal poll, I couldn’t find a Cuccinelli supporter who knew it before this week.

Loudoun Insider, wow, that’s just great; you heard some stuff from people that “you know”. I’m just full of coincidence when some guy using a pseudonym on the Internet states something based on the knowledge of his touted experts. Hell, it works for the folks at Loose Change.

Kilo, are you incapable of reading? From “The Brownlee Report” in e-mail: “John told the crowd that he is the only veteran running in the race for Attorney General, and that he and Bob McDonnell are the only two veterans in either party running for statewide office this year.” Would you like me to send you a copy of that e-mail so you won’t read that as well?

Lets see that Brownlee quote on Cooch’s service Watson, or are you a liar?

I don’t need to see his record. It is well documented in the press. Maybe you should ask some of the Veterans and Veterans Groups he has addressed here in SWVA.

Oh, and Kilo, if anyone insulting people that served during peacetime in the military, it’s John Brownlee. He obviously doesn’t seem to think Cuccinelli’s short stint in the Marine Corps counts, otherwise he wouldn’t be calling him the only veteran running for AG.

It hasn’t been proven that Cuccinelli’s a liar. I never made that assertion. I intially asked a question, based on conflicting biographical sketches from Cuccinelli. He then supposedly gives a statement to Shaun Kenney explaining the discrepancy. Many vets that I know, and who have commented about this, doubt the explanation. The defensiveness of the Cuccinelli camp on this is extreme and makes me suspicious. You seem to be a suspicous kind of guy, I would think you would appreciate a little helthy cynicism. Brownlee had a distinguished military career, I’m sure he would have no problem releasing his records – feel free to contact his campaign. Of course, far is far, so let’s see Cuccinelli’s at the same time. I’m sure a press conference could be arranged.

It’s really nice to see that the Republican Party has been completely taken over by conspiracy theorists. Let me guess, you guys think that Barack Obama isn’t a citizen, right?
