I'm trying to offer some constructive perspective rather than simply write Hayes's comments off as those of a mental case. That he's wrong and his timing is poor doesn't make him insane.
He still is a terrible show host though.

"Jim, there's nothing I've said that should be taken as a defense of his statement."
No?
You said he was not irrational. You agreed that calling servicemen heroes could be construed as supporting the war (in other words, you claim his premise is not without merit). You said you could see why a liberal might think like he does.
That's not defending him? Spence, there's an old southern sayiing..."don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining".
A child appreciates the difference between supporting a war's purpose, and crediting the foot soldiers with the valor they display. Any child sees this enormous difference. But not Hayes, and not you. You're both too driven by radical ideology to have any semblance of common sense.
