Michelle did some follow-up to this post. Here is what we now know:
First, take a look at some of the posts from Facebook attributed to Stone (which read like auditions for a spot on John Edwards’ blogging staff). This is one of the Facebook groups credited to Stone and titled, “Republicans are Cowards:”
Here’s a comment credited to Stone, which was left on the Facebook site of a poor woman who was a George Allen supporter:
Here’s a comment Stone apparently left for a friend of Pannell’s, a fellow Republican student who joined Marine Corps officer’s training at Quantico:
Here are comments Stone apparently left on an anti-Israel group at Facebook:
Here’s a lovely picture in the Facebook photo album in Stone’s name:

Is it now clear what political agenda that Stone was supporting?
This is truly a bizarre event. I’m speechless but I’ll try to sort out my thoughts. First of all it doesn’t surprise me. Having worked around academic liberals for my entire life I can vouch for the fact that when things are going ‘their way’ all is well with the world and when things are not going their way it’s ‘the republicans’ fault and more specifically whoever may be in office be it Bush, Bush senior or Reagan.
I can’t for the life of me reconcile the thought of Republicans being cowards when Bush is the one who is standing up to terrorists. Bill Clinton shook hands with Arafat and thousands of Israeli’s died. Bill was having fun in the white house and hundreds of American’s were dying. Is that supposed to be okay? A liberal would tell you yes. Witness the above post.
Between walking free through life or walking with fear I choose free. I pray for our troops and for our politicians that they remain strong, dedicated and correct in this very real threat.
And thanks to all who report these people who do such stupid things and harbor such hatred. There are many Americans who need to wake up. 9/11 may be history but it’s not a closed chapter.
Yep, another voice of the “tolerant” left.
If the Republicans are such cowards, why is the majority of soldiers fighting for this country Republicans? Even those that start out as Democrats eventually realize that the Dems are jeopardizing their lives for political gains.
