Democrats support the troops - just not ours: palmbeachpost.com Mahoney: honoring Soviet veterans? By Larry Lipman \| Monday, June 30, 2008, 04:20 PM Republicans are having a field day over a flier sent out by U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney that shows an elderly gentleman bedecked with what appear to be Soviet medals. The picture is on the cover of a Mahoney flier labeled: “Honoring Those Who Defend Our Freedom.” The flier touts Mahoney’s record on veterans’ issues. “Is Tim Mahoney’s commitment to our veterans so shallow and superficial that he can’t even tell the difference between an American veteran and one who fought for Communism in Joseph Stalin’s Red Army?? said Ken Spain, press secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “This is a stunning indictment of Mahoney’s utter lack of knowledge concerning veterans’ issues. We knew he had Socialist tendencies when it came to his record, but this takes it to a whole new laughable level,” Spain said. In an enlargement of the photo, the hammer and sickle logo of the former Soviet Union is clearly visible on the top medal on the man’s left breast pocket. A Mahoney spokesperson could not be reached for comment.
