The press is like a dog that has just crapped on your rug. You have to drag it back to the turd, pissing all of the way, and then rub it's nose in it to teach it a lesson. Only THEN can it learn.
They aren't even going where the most damning allegation is. Kerry met with the North Vietnamese peace talk delegates in Paris. This was strictly on his own. He was not discharged from his naval duties until 1978.
He was talking with the enemy, while he was an inactive duty naval officer, giving them advice.

The first was the betrayal of Vietnamese who trusted our word, as graphically symbolized in images of desperate loyalists clinging to the skids of departing helicopters as Saigon fell in 1975.
The second was the election of a president who deliberately evaded military service in time of war. It was, at the time, a shock requiring deep introspective analysis of previously unquestioned core beliefs. The irrefutable rules of life taught us as children -- duty, honor, country -- were suddenly negotiable. The nation conducted a referendum in 1992 and declared evasion acceptable.
The third humiliation would be to allow Kerry to frame the nation's Vietnam perspective. ***
No chance. Even sKerry's handlers are on record saying that the mainstream press is in their corner, on this and many other topics.
The story will continue to be suppressed with minor lip service paid by the whores accompanying sKerry, disquised as journalists, and buried between pages A15 through B27.
Truer words were never spoke.
Excellent editorial.
I don't have as much faith as the writer of this piece that bloggers will help bring this story out into the mainstream media. If the media wants it buried, it will stayed buried. Do you remember sandy berger? Seems like it was only yesterday he was caught plundering the National Archives. The media will suggest nothing new has developed in that story so there is no need to report it. Yet the same could be said for Abu Ghraib but somehow they manage to fill the airwaves with 24/7 coverage of those poor men forced to wear women's panties on their heads. Still in all, I hope this writer is correct and this story does get examined in full.
What do you do when the disgusting thing smells to them like something deliscious to eat?
I think the chances of this are slim and none, and Slim just died.
Even the Kerry staff is confident - did you read the thread from the American Spectator?
COMMAND CONFIDENCE Kerry staff: "Unfit not a problem, media is committed to seeing us win")
The mainstream press will report it if and when they know that he is going to lose. They will be forced to just to save face.
Ask yourself "Why is JFK running on a 35 year old record that is fishy?"
Maybe because while his service record stinks, it is not as bad as his record in the Senate.
my own view is that Kerry went out to Vietnam hoping to get a warrior's medals and credentials as the basis for a political career. He behaved bravely in some circumstances and exaggerated his bravery in others. He even took a film camera along to re-enact his heroic exploits for later campaign commercials.
He returned home, however, to find that the war had become deeply unpopular. Nothing daunted, he re-invented himself as an anti-war veteran, and prospered on that basis. ...
By Kerry's own account, Kerry sought out non-combat assignments. He did not go with the idea of "performing with bravery in the face of hostile action." Sullivan understates the depths of Kerry's fraud.
Not if Kerry can help it, it won't!
WSJ ran an op ed column by Rassmann today: Shame on the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush -- John Kerry saved my life. Now his heroism is being questioned.. Maybe someone will post it. I don't like to post anything I couldn't make myself read all the way through.
I think the chances of this are slim and none, and Slim just died.
I have to agree.
This is a story that veterans of all wars can fully understand.
The story cannot be left to die as those 40+ thousand on the Wall in Wash DC did and whose memory of has been trashed by Kerry.
I have a similar analogy. The Democrats are like the OWNER of a dog on a leash. As they approach each cause (lawn)- and then make a total disaster of it (a real steamer) - they look up and away, refusing to address it even as you stare at them ("That's in the past, man"). They then stroll over to befoul another area.
The press, like the dog, are idiots on a leash. They don't know any better. It is the owner that needs to have his nose mashed into the messes they leave.
I read it and didn't want to post it either. Wish someone would check this guy out. Something doesn't ring true about him.
