I guess it's ok to pretend to be a disabled veteran for comedy and politics

Pray, I never see you Sach Baron Cohen. Your face is now etched in my mind. I will smack you like the piece of shit that you are if I ever see you.

Showtime and CBS have shown how anti-military their allegiance truly is by employing someone who mocks military men and women around the world.

Stolen Valor is not Ok

)

Political comedy and cornering politicians for "journalism" has become the norm in our society. Impersonating a disabled veteran for an interview is not acceptable.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE REASON IS. THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE REASON.

This is disrespectful to Veterans around the world

The sad part is...there are many around the world that will find this acceptable.

yeah that is some bullshit. Then again for television personalities like himself, anything to make a headline is worth it

Yeah, I pretty hot under the collar when I saw this. It's not a Sarah Palin issue for me. I'd still have the same problem if it were anyone else. I don't understand how it doesn't violate the Stolen Valor Act. Wouldn't acting like a disable veteran infer that he has a purple heart...and this interview should be considered a tangible benefit because it is directly linked to ratings for his show...which he gets a paycheck for.
