Joe Klein thinks you’re stupid for wanting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. On a recent CNN appearance, he said:
“I was on Ed Schultz’ show to discuss Afghanistan…And the guy writes on a piece of paper, ‘Get out now,’ and holds it up on the screen. That’s so stupid…”
Klein may not have realized it, but in calling Schultz “stupid” for wanting to get out of Afghanistan, he insulted most Americans. More than 60 percent of Americans oppose the Afghanistan War. But Joe Klein thinks you’re stupid for wanting to get our troops home.
