www.freerepublic.com | May 4, 2004

[Howlin]

Here we go!

It's suppose to be on C-SPAN at 8:42 p.m., EDT, but it may be sooner, so pay attention!!!

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks for your extended service!

Dig media cannot stop this story, and it will ultimately be more persuasive of voters if people hear about it slowly through the summer.

These brave veterans have broken the logjam of silence about all Vietnam servicemen. The trickle of information will become a raging river by November. They are defending the honor of all who were defiled by Kerry's activities in the anti-war movement.

When Wesley jumped in and left, (and with Hitlery in the background, I thought that wimpy Wesley would be the perfect running mate for Hitlery because of his military background. She managed to get on the Armed Services Committee for the specific reason of "to know what I'm talking about". (Of course, she still thinks a bazooka is a piece of bubblegum that the soldiers carry when their on a field mission).

[maica]

Oops!


"Dig" really is "Big".

SPELL does not correct for words that are other words! And neither do my poor eyes see these silly mistakes.

[alnick]

No, because I believe in God. God will not let Hillary Clinton become President. No one could make me believe otherwise. We may be a nation in need of awakening, but we have not sinned so much that God would allow that bitch to rule us.

God prevented Al Gore from stealing the election. That thought gets me through when I have doubts about Hillary. It had to be God because they tried every trick in the book and they were thwarted over and over again.

[Sacajaweau]

Kerry's camp started the issue by going after Bush. Kerry didn't want it to go on and he said so early on (because he knows the real truth about his record and so do a few others). It's called a backfire and this particular one kinda stinks. I'm a "hero" but you Vietnam Vets were baby killers and suckers, doesn't ring quite right.

FR Exclusive: AP SPIKES JOHN O'NEILL - SWIFT BOAT VETS STORY

Get on that thread, and call AP in the morning and give 'em . . . heck.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree with you. When the Supreme Court came back with the ruling, it reaffirmed that "there is a God" watching over us.

After 9-11, it was the leadership of Bush and Guilani that made me strong and hopeful. And for days, months, it was the President's appearance and voice that soothed my soul as the memories of that day flashed in my mind and I hugged my children and grandchildren with just a little more fervor.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Maybe I'll post it as it's own thread; I just don't know where to put it - Breaking? extended? Frontpage?

Also have a nice one where Bob Kerrey said the problem with National Security is we have too many secrets.

[alnick]

I emailed cspan and asked them to play the Dick Cavett debate between O'Neill and Kerry and the Swift Boats presser back to back.

[Just mythoughts]

Yes Hillry has been polling her negatives and the day they come out of the toilet will be the day she comes out of the closet.

JFKerry is demonstrating that he is a mental case, campaigning on tossed medals I mean ribbons from self inflicted wounds.

These liberals continue to demonstrate that the only enemy they have are the conservatives in this nation and they will take full advantage of "terrorists of the world" actions to regain power.

The liberals have demonstrated the same "hate" and "evil" as the "terrorists" seeking to destroy the greatness of this nation.

Fox & Friends is discussing this conference now

[mathluv]

Fox and Friends is talking about it this morning.

[Mo1]

Well they talked about it for a whole 2 minutes

The clip of Kerry emerging from the "jungle" that appears in his campaign ads is from the home movie that he made, shortly after the "action".

From a Byron York article at:

http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york200402270811.asp

In fact, he is often playing an actual movie of Vietnam over and over on his television. Consider this scene from a remarkable profile of Kerry published in the Boston Globe in October 1996, when Kerry was in a tough reelection battle:

Kerry told reporter Charles Sennott the oft-repeated story of the February 1969 firefight in which Kerry attacked the Viet Cong who ambushed his Swift boat. Kerry won the Silver Star, as well as a Purple Heart, for his efforts. But the story wasn't just the firefight itself. It was also Kerry's reaction to it.

The future senator was so "focused on his future ambitions," Sennott reported, that not long after the fight, he bought a Super-8 movie camera, returned to the scene, and reenacted the skirmish on film. During their interview, Kerry played the tape for Sennott.

"I'll show you where they shot from. See? That's the hole covered up with reeds," Kerry said as he ran the tape in slow motion.

Kerry told Sennott that his decision to reenact the fight on film was no big deal — "just something I did, no great meaning to it." But it's clear that the old movie is a huge deal. "Through hours of watching the films in the den of his newly renovated Beacon Hill mansion, it becomes apparent that these are memories and footage he returns to often," Sennott wrote.

"Kerry jumps repeatedly from the couch to adjust the Sony large screen TV in his home entertainment center, making sure the picture is clear, the color correct. He fast forwards, rewinds and freeze frames the footage. His running commentary — vivid, sometimes touching, sometimes self-serving — never misses a beat."

In John Kerry's home-entertainment center, it's always 1969.

[Howlin]

GAWD almighty. He IS sick.

Thanks for finding that!

[Just mythoughts]

This describes a brain on drugs, and I sure do hope he is "filming" footage of his heroic run for president so he can sit in a rocker the rest of his days watching this reenactment.

[just me]

In John Kerry's home-entertainment center, it's always 1969.

Welcome to the twilight zone

I agree - there has been far too much publicity about the dead and wounded in Iraq.

However, our boys should not be in the forefront of bringing liberty to these people. It is time for Iraqis to earn liberty for themselves.

Like we learned from welfare, when the federal government gives something to someone (in this case liberty), it creates dependency. And a dependent people is by definition, not a free people.

America has overthrown Saddam. Now, it is up to the Iraqis to make the most of this opportunity. Just like it was up to our forbears to create the American Republic, after the French helped us defeat the Brits at Yorktown.

This article was published in February...

sKerry is a SICK puppy.

Listening to those Swifties on CSPAN last night lifted a heavy burden from deep inside me. Now I feel things are gonna get aired that have been kept quiet, and troubled me for the past 33 years.

Thank you, Swifties, for opening the door, and setting the record straight!

Semper Fi from a Marine who feels a great relief!
