Remarks Violated Hatch Act, Employee Union Alleges

A former Bush campaign adviser who appeared in an ad by a veterans group criticizing Democrat John F. Kerry made inappropriate partisan remarks to federal employees during a September training session at a Veterans Affairs office, a federal employee union contends.

The American Federation of Government Employees says comments by retired Air Force Col. Ken Cordier during a mandatory training session on prisoner-of-war issues violated the Hatch Act, which restricts political activity in the federal workplace. The union last week asked the Office of Special Counsel to investigate the Sept. 22 incident at the VA regional office in Waco, Tex.

Employees were told that Cordier, a pilot and former POW in North Vietnam, would not raise partisan matters during his talk, Mark D. Roth, the union's general counsel, wrote in a letter Oct. 26 to Special Counsel Scott J. Bloch.

But when Cordier took questions, "his comments included statements about scumbags who threw their medals over the fence, that the Democratic Party was the 'peace' party, as if that were a derogatory title," Roth wrote.

1. These stupid bastards...

... don't realize that the war might still be going on and they'd be getting old and gray in North Vietnamese prison camps if it weren't for people who recognized that politicians had gotten them into a protracted, unwinnable war.

And then he campaigns for a rich, white, spoiled ne'er-do-well who bugged out on his National Guard obligations at home, and then talks as if peace is a dirty word.

This guy clearly hasn't read a word of either George Orwell or Henry David Thoreau. :mad:

2. I agree with this, a deliberate investigation by a special council

and then nail the fucker to a cross, along with the rest of those shit balls.

3. Find out if he is on the pay role

Most of these assholes get pay or perks to go with the party of greed.

4. dirty rotten scoundrels need to be held accountable

it's the only way to stop the inappropriate partisan attacks to employees, as long as nothing is said they will continue to abuse the employees
