Congress to Examine
“Inappropriate” and “Devastating” Use of “Geronimo” Codename in bin
Laden Mission
by Erick Erickson
Wednesday, May 4th
As if Congress had nothing more important to do, ABC News brings us
word that Congress will hold hearings on the use of the code name
Geronimo as a reference to Osama Bin Laden.
“The hearing was scheduled well before the Osama bin Laden operation
became news, but the concerns over the linking of the name of Geronimo,
one of the greatest Native American heroes, with the most hated enemies
of the United States is an example of the kinds of issues we intended
to address at Thursday’s hearing,” Loretta Tuell, the committee’s chief
counsel, said in a statement.
“These inappropriate uses of Native American icons and cultures are
prevalent throughout our society, and the impacts to Native and
non-Native children are devastating,” Tuell said. “We intend to open
the forum to talk about them.”
Some of you are wondering if we can send SEAL Team 6 to Congress. I
would never wonder that. I just wonder how exactly Congress ever hopes
to improve its dazzling popularity rating when it plays on the
hypersensitive humorlessness of lefties race warriors.
