Very true, that was an opinion piece. However, the main point in it is that the Republican party allowed their keynote speaker to suggest that by criticising the president and attempting to win an election, the Democrats were weakening the country and somehow dishonoring the soldiers in Iraq. This is fact - read the speech. If you don't think the Republican's ok'd and in fact helped write the speech in the first place, I would disagree strongly.
Whether or not you are a Bush supporter, I would think you would find it disturbing that anyone would hint that not supporting the president is somehow unpatriotic. Reeks of McCarthyism to me, but hey, that's just my opinion.
