Ben Stein backs up Swift Vets Ad on FNC Cavuto.
8/6/04

Posted on 08/06/2004 1:34:57 PM PDT by ArmyBratproud

Ben Stein was just on Cavuto's show on FNC. The guest host was addressing the Swiftie's ad about Kerry's real war record. Stein pointed out how Kerry came back to the US and did not get his big political start because of the Silver Star and other medals that he now touts, but because he went before Congress at the "behest of Jane Fonda" and called our troops murderers and rapists.

Stein said Kerry owes them all an apology. He also mentioned that the ad addresses Kerry's testimony. When asked if he thought it would back fire and hurt Bush, Stein said NO.

The host, however, seemed to try and roll with the marching orders that have been sent down to all media folks. It did not work well. Stein made the Swifties look pretty credible.

According to the liberals, there are only about a dozen good Vietnam vets - Max Cleland, Wes Clark, Kerry and the nine crewmen he has backing him. The rest are liars and hacks in the pay of Karl Rove. The media follow this script to the letter.

All these 9-11 widows get to spew their conspiracy theories about Bush based on no actual knowledge to every media outlet in the land. These Vietnam vets who offer testimony of actual experience with John Kerry gets treated like they have the plague.

You know, people like us made Fox what it is. We can as easily just turn the darned teevee off and get our news on Free Republic. Right now, the only show I consider worth watching on Fox is Brit Hume.

Meanwhile, all this noise just helps the ad itself float to the top of viewers' consciousness.
The more KerryCo complains about it, the more attention it gets.

You know, one of these days our vets are going to come home and start handling media pukes the Marine Corps way. I know of 5 attorneys from the Florida mess that deserve a visit from the 2D Recon boys.

I believe Kerry also qualifies as a douche nozzle.

Please correct me if I am wrong...

Stein has a new book out (I forget the title, unfortunately) in which he traces the hate-filled hysteria of the left, particularly the academe and entertainment types, to a thoughtless self-loathing and, especially in the case of the Hollywood crowd, a faddishness which leads them all to adopt the same views to become part of the herd - Stein is a very wise man........

Hey, Kerry, stop spitting on vets. I know you and your Jane Fonda buddies think it's a sport, but I got a little bit of news for you, buddy. We're back home now. You won't get away with it this time.
