Jeff has been on the forefront of slapping down the morons that toss out the stupid "chickenhawk" remark in the attempt to stifle debate. I will add my comment, since I was recently the target recently on another blog comment section.

If you are crying "CHICKENHAWK", I assume you will now recuse yourself from the debates on:

Military spending, if you are not in the military
ANWR drilling, if you are not a resident of the area
CAFE standards, if you are not an automaker
Abortion, if you are not pregnant
Estate taxes, if you are not dead
Disaster relief, if you are not a resident of the Gulf Coast

That should make a whole lot of stuff better in this country.
