On Friday Michael Goldfarb contacted McHenry's office and confirmed the guard was a contractor, not a US soldier. So McHenry didn't diss a US soldier, as initially reported by Amanda at Think Progress. Which means McHenry might be a jerk but he hasn't risen to Bobby Calvan-level jerk status.
Tom McGuire calls out lefty bloggers Amanda at Think Progress and Steve Benen for not coming clean on their charge that McHenry belittled a US soldier.
Bonus lefty distortion: Hosting "Countdown with Keith Olderman," Rachel Maddow did a short segment on McHenry, claiming he smeared a US soldier. By the time Olberman's show was taped, it had been known for several hours the guard was not a US soldier. (Left-wing distortions are so predictable.)
Tom gives some much-needed advice to Keith Olberman: "If you are getting your content from lefty blogs, mistrust but verify. "
