Michael Moore mocking Bush's military record has about as much relevance as Larry Flynt sneering at St. Paul's record as a church leader.

This lays out the truth about W's enlistment and Guard service, etc. I can't remember who else was talking about it last night, or I'd ping them.

Particularly pertinent paragraph:
"Mr. Bush, fresh out of Yale, enlisted in 1968, first in the Air Force, as do most Air National Guardsmen, and learned to fly the F-102, a Delta-wing interceptor regarded by pilots as a particularly difficult plane to fly. He was then assigned to the Texas Air National Guard at Ellington Air Force Base near Houston. His unit was never called to active duty during the four years he served in Texas. Most Guard units were not. Pilots who flew with him called him one of their best, and his flight instructor told the Boston Globe that "I would rank him among the top 5 percent of the pilots I knew."

IMO, this whole 'effort' of Kerry and the left to mislead the American people about the President's Guard duty is going to backfire on them.
The one thing that anyone but a hardcore leftist (or rightist) knows, is that he is an honorable man. This slander isn't going to work.

Thanks, oWf!
This slander isn't going to work. It might unless we grassrooters keep the word of truth going out to everyone, of every political persuasion, we know. Which is what we're doing all the TIME, I think, starting right here on FR!

Trying to mount a dead horse That's nothing. Soon, in Kerry's home state, you'll be able to marry a dead horse.

X-42 Xlinton protested the Vietnam war in England and visited Russia on New Year's Eve 1970.
The hypocrisy that the Left has is mind-boggling.
