Please do not refer to Big Media as Mainstream. You accept a marginal position for conservatives when you cede the "center" to the left.

Nice picture (post 8).

Most of the Vietnamese in the U.S. are fiercely anti-communist and supportive of the cause of freedom. They or their parents fought alongside the U.S. against the Viet Cong during the war, so they know firsthand what Communism can do to a country.

They still cling to the flag of the former South Vietnam, as pictured on the folders in their hands. It signifies the hope they have that their homeland will someday be free and democratic.

The wheels haven't fallen off kerry's lies yet but he sure lost a couple of lug nuts today.

Good analogy.

Rotten driver. Rotten pit crew.

The upcoming election is strictly about the Supreme Court and everything else is secondary over the long haul!

%%%%%

If Kerry is elected we are VERY close to being handed to the UN on a platter. If we can get Americans to realize that activist judges are problem, can we also get them to realize what being subjugated to UN Treaties would do to our country?

For example, Lt. Thomas Wright claimed to be Kerry's senior officer and was among those who asked him to leave. And yet the recent swiftboats vets open letter doesn't include his name among the list of Kerry's "commanders."

Not quite correct...

Thomas Wright was one of John F. Kerry's fellow Swift boat officers in Vietnam. Since Wright outranked Kerry, he was Kerry's sometime boat group Officer-in-Charge, so Wright had occasion to observe Kerry’s behavior and attitudes, and the circumstances surrounding his early departure from the war zone.

Source

So...he was not on the list of Commanders because he was NOT a Commander, he was a fellow Officer. And you doubt him just because he didn't put his name on a letter?

You can't trust them. Don't bother. They covered up Clinton leaving Oxford and spending his supposed final year there wandering through Soviet bloc countries. Clinton has never accounted for his whereabouts in those years, but he came back with enough money to run for statewide office.

Never trust anything ABCNNBCBSNYT etc. put out. They are shills for the Rats and the Communists.

Thanks for the ping.

I'll ping the Swedish list.

Read this thread! The Kerry campaign is conficent that the SwiftVets allegations won't hurt him since the mainstream media is all for him!

The Internet is becoming more and more important every day - the power of the MSM must be broken.

"The senior staff believes the media is committed to seeing us win this thing, and that the convention inoculated us from these kinds of stories. The senior guys really think we don't have a problem here."

Seems someone slipped .. I wonder who the senior staff is??

O'Reilly Factor - Left-wing "reporters" met with John Kerry in Al Franken's apartment
03.22.04


Posted on 03/22/2004 10:13:09 PM EST by kcvl


In an effort to galvanize the message Kerry wants to deliver in the time remaining, he convened a powerful roster of journalists and columnists in the New York City apartment of Al Franken last Thursday. The gathering could not properly be called a meeting or a luncheon. It was a trial. The journalists served as prosecuting attorneys, jury and judge. The crowd I joined in Franken’s living room was comprised of:


Al Franken and his wife Franni;
Rick Hertzberg, senior editor for the New Yorker;
David Remnick, editor for the New Yorker;
Jim Kelly, managing editor for Time Magazine;
Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek;
Jeff Greenfield, senior correspondent and analyst for CNN;
Frank Rich, columnist for the New York Times;
Eric Alterman, author and columnist for MSNBC and the Nation;
Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist/author of ‘Maus’;
Richard Cohen, columnist for the Washington Post;
Fred Kaplan, columnist for Slate;
Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate and author;
Jonathan Alter, senior editor and columnist for Newsweek;
Philip Gourevitch, columnist for the New Yorker;
Calvin Trillin, freelance writer and author;
Edward Jay Epstein, investigative reporter and author;
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who needs no introduction.


We sat in a circle around Kerry and grilled him for two long hours. In an age of retail politicians who avoid substance the way vampires avoid sunlight, in an age when the sitting President flounders like a gaffed fish whenever he must speak to reporters without a script, Kerry’s decision to open himself to the slings and arrows of this group was bold and impressive. He was fresh from two remarkable speeches – one lambasting the PATRIOT Act, another outlining his foreign policy ideals while eviscerating the Bush record – and had his game face on. He needed it, because Eric Alterman lit into him immediately on the all-important issue of his vote for the Iraq War Resolution. The prosecution had begun.

"...the convention inoculated us from these kinds of stories."

HAHH!! How delusional are these RATS?! The Convention IGNITED the controversy when Hanoi John tried to paint hisself as a War Hero when the facts are proving he was a WAR CRIMINAL and betrayer of his Country!! It really doesn't matter that the Vast LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd is ignoring Kerry's inadequacies 'cuz they ain't got a monopoly no mo'!! Rush, Hannity, Drudge, FR.com, etc. got a bull's eye on Hanoi John's candidacy and the Leftist Medyuh will just haveta play Ketchup!!

WOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Gonna be a fun next couple months...MUD
