At 6:50 p.m. last night, a Chronicle article on the death in combat of a Houston-area special forces soldier was posted to their site:
Army Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey D. Kettle, 31, was a Special Forces Operational Detachment-Alpha senior engineer sergeant assigned to 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne).
Kettle was born and raised in Texas City. He enlisted in the Army in November, 1993, and has been stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C.
His awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Valorous Unit Award, Expert Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, Ranger and Special Forces Tabs.
“Jeffrey Duane Kettle, my brother, my hero, joined the ranks of other heroes that have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” Clay Kettle, a combat medic deployed to Iraq, said in an e-mail sent to friends. “My brother joined the Army about a year before I did 14 years ago. He wanted nothing more than to ‘Be All He Could Be’ for himself, his family and his country.”
Kettle is survived by his wife, Brandi, and sons Jeffrey and Logan of Raeford, N.C.; parents Ronald and Cynthia of League City; and brothers Clay and Ryan Kettle.
Only two hours later, a liberal commenter named “bluecollar” decided to use the freedom Sgt. Kettle died defending to shill for Democrat Rick Noriega’s Senate challenge to John Cornyn.

More gems from that thread:
Very nice. Quite the eloquent argument against our President’s decision to go to war. Of course no discussion of Iraq would be complete without the obligatory “chimp” reference to our President:
You forgot to preface “chimp” with “smirking” though, mechiii. Every self-respecting moonbat should remember that. Actually, respect probably isn’t part of the thought process there, so strike that last sentence.
” Classy ” is NOT the word I would have used .
But I’ve never had a comment delited so I’ll just leave it at that.
If THAT was “classy”……….I’ll take classless please! (with a much larger dose of REALITY)
Absolutely disgusting. My heart (and prayers) goes out to the family of SFC Kettle. I’ve got a different body part reserved to demonstrate what I think of classy guys like bluecollar, fido and mechiii. (Although I’m sure they all “support the troops, just not the mission.” Yeah, right.)
Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey D. Kettle
His turds were better than any of the pukes that made those comments!
Thanks for your service SFC Kettle.
THEY WANT US TO LOSE. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. I DO QUESTION THEIR PATRIOTISM AND THEIR SANITY. The caliphate will not be as understanding:

Noriega had the libnut trifecta going on in his campaign ad:
Katrina, The war, and the Chil’rens….
5. Faster
I agree with you. Those people are genuinely scary. I get the same creeped out feeling when I read the comments on huffingtonpost and dailykos.
And they’re walking the streets right next to us!!
/Twilight Zone music.
The Kos creeps walk amongst the Chron’s web pages. Correction, they slither. What elegant rhetoric, demonstrating years of elite schooling–not. And the Chron posts it all….
They say what the Chron writers feel but are not going to write themselves.
Too bad the Chron doesn’t have the decency to monitor and eliminate the sick comments.
Ok, I posted my comments on Chron.com…. I just had to, everyone go there and let those losers have it!!!

Mine are monitored…..
Feel free to let your imaginations fo wild
I didn’t leave a comment, but I flagged several as abusive for numerous reasons, not that it will make a hill of beans difference…
#12 HWMNBNd (but is anyway),
I don’t know if your flagging is the reason or not, but I just noticed that the two comments I mentioned in #1 have both been removed. I have to give The Chronicle credit for removing them, even if it took them a while.
Rule #1 Do not read anything titled ‘ Houston Chronicle” without malox, or tums at hand. When reading the response remember there is no age limit and the idiots may be teenagers. when someone is so vile, I usualy attribute that to youth. It’s hard for me to believe an adult would write filth.
All the comments have been removed, @ 7:35
Most of them are still there now (at 9:43 p) Dave. They did remove the ones I quoted earlier though.
As of 10:20, the comments don’t show up. May want to refresh the page and/or clear the cache…
I am glad, though, that the Chron apparently had the taste to get rid of the comments, pervaded as they were by the Kos and Huffpo crowd…
I think you guys are having computer issues. The comments still appear this morning. There’s even one from Hamous at 9:50 p. I’ve looked at them on three different computers now (all w/ cleared caches). There are 2 pages worth and Hamous’ was the last one at the time of this comment.
Hmm, bluecollar you strike again. How does my cousin’s death have anything to do with Iraq. He died in Afghanistan you nitwit. As I asked you before please, spread your anti-war agenda somewhere else instead of leaving your comments on web pages after articles about his death. My family has a hard enough time dealing with his death and we can deal without some half-witted liberal, cnn watching, arm-chair quarter back leaving comments about Iraq and how his children will live without their father thanks to Bush and Cheney’s oil war in Iraq. Actually read the whole article before leaving your commentsand if you have to leave your comment and try to show a little respect for our hero and our family.
Sorry, what I meant to say is actually read the whole article before leaving your comments and if you have to leave a comment, try to show a little respect for our hero and our family.
By the way, thank you all for your condolences. It’s nice to know that there are still people out there who support our troops.
