You gotta love the Left. (This is sarcasm.)
It appears as though the "Pat Tillman = Right-Wing Idiot" meme is not confined to BlogCritics.
Pissing on this great man's grave has become a bit of a cottage industry for those who think Bush is Hitler, and the War in Iraq is Genocide.
Please keep in mind that this buffoonish author was not censored. He was merely subjected to a rebuttal. No First Amendment Rights were lost.
The only thing that was lost is the writer's credibility...

Pat Tillman gave up his career to fight Al Queda. He wanted to be sent to Afghanistan, but was first sent to help invade Iraq. As the Rangers headed up southern Iraq, he told his friends, 'You know, this war is so f____ illegal'. Tillman was a fan of both John McCain and Noam Chomsky, and planned to meet with Chomsky when he got home from Afghanistan, but was killed by his own troops. So, if Rene Gonzalez thought Tillman was a right wing idiot... I think NOT.

Bottom line... either what is said here is fact or fiction... Pat Tillman was "accidentally" shot in the forehead 3 times by friendly fire... So even after the FACTS of Tillman opposed to Bush, Tillman had a meeting set up with Chomsky, and being shot accidentally 3 times by friendlies then you make your own story based on these FACTS. I have my own opinion as to what happened and I think it would be hard to mistake a Green Beret for a Towel head... so with that said, whoever shot him "accidentally" got a pretty good look at him wouldn't you say? ps... I am no Liberal so don't even try to paste that retarded label on me. I am in fact very conservative but see right through Bush. I served during the first Gulf War and love this Country. It seems to me that the biggest supporters of this War are those who wouldn't have the stones to serve and fight for this country. Pathetic
Tell me something... why is it that one cannot oppose Bush without being labeled a "Liberal"?
Pat Tillman was murdered... period. accident my a$$

Guys, why has these "facts" about three shots to the forehead not been reported in the main stream media. They support everyone of your wacko, moonbat theories so it does not make sense this has not made it onto 60 minutes by now. So put down the bong, clear the smoke out of your eyes, and make a serious attempt to think clearly.

Funny how the left is so willing to believe these details about "bullets to the forehead" to discredit the right when it dismisses similar conspiracy theories about Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and other "Arkancide" victims as crackpottish.
Guess it depends on whose ox is being gored.

left or right, truth is still the truth, dude.
"the medical examiner's report said Tillman was killed by three bullets closely spaced in his forehead"

RJ Elliot is a mendacious fool.
I, personally, will no longer believe a word he says. He doesn't even bother to read the background material available widely in the public record before launching a totally baseless political diatribe against his favorite targets. In the process he defames innocent bystanders such as Tillmans parents, and even the dead soldier himself.
If one reads the public documentation of this Army fiasco one finds this:
"[Tillmans parents]...have avoided association with the anti-war movement. Their main public allies are Sen. John McCain, RAriz., and Rep. Mike Honda, D-San Jose, who have lobbied on their behalf."
Read the article cited above in sfgate, please, and decide for yourself.
As for Elliot, he's discredited himself with his intemperate outburst against his personal enemies.
A reasonable person might wonder why such an errant article was published by BC. Who edits these political articles, some political partisan maniac?
