Are you following the Swift-Boating of Paul Hackett, the Democratic Congressional candidate for the Second District of Ohio? If elected, Hackett would be the first veteran of the Iraq War in Congress.

There’s plenty info on Hackett in this article, but here are the basics of his service:

In 2004, Hackett, a Major in the Select Marine Corps Reserve, volunteered for active duty in Iraq. He then spent seven months as a civil affairs officer with the 4th Civil Affairs Group of the 1st Marine Division. He was assigned to Ramadi, took part in the Fallujah campaign and supported the reconstruction efforts in Fallujah. On 12 October 2004, a convoy under his command was hit by two road-side bombs.

The wingnuts are smearing the shit out of this guy.

Now the pill-popping draft-dodger Limbaugh has weighed in.

The lows to which these pigs will stoop just astounds.
