Deposed Gen. Stanley McChrystal is being revealed as a social and political liberal who banned Fox News from TVs in his headquarters. Which makes his immolation in the pages of the liberal rag Rolling Stone and subsequent firing by the man he voted for president the height of irony.
Marc Ambinder, writing in his Night Beat column at the Atlantic reveals McChrystal's liberalness:
Even more about McChrystal: now it can be told. The story about him voting for Obama is not contrived. He is a political liberal. He is a social liberal. He banned Fox News from the television sets in his headquarters. Yes, really. This serves to put to rest another false rumor: that McChrystal deliberately precipitated his firing because he wants to run for President.
Being a liberal takes nothing away from McChrystal's service and sacrifice to the Nation. It does explain why he was comfortable having a Rolling Stone reporter around for a month.
For those who were hoping McChrystal would join Fox News as a contributor after he leaves the service, don't bet on it.-----
