Kerry Campaign Mascot
Mutley you snickering floppy eared hound
when courage is needed, you're neer around.
Those medals you wear on your moth-eaten chest
should be there for bungling at which you are best.

>>>John O'Neill just said on Hannity's radio program "Those five boats were in a narrow creek (75 yards wide) for an hour and a half and none had bullet holes in them.
Should Thurlow give back his Bronze Star?
I agree but I had to pick myself up off the floor first - I can't believe the arrogance and entitlement mentality of these people. It's the LIBERAL pathology.***If you were active in the so-called "peace" movement or in the radical wing of the civil rights causes, why would you tell the truth? Why would you tell people that no, you weren't really a "peace activist," except in the sense that you were against America's war. Why would you draw attention to the fact that while you called yourselves "peace activists," you didn't oppose the Communists' war, and were gratified when America's enemies won?
What you were really against was not war at all, but American "imperialism" and American capitalism. What you truly hated was America's democracy, which you knew to be a "sham" because it was controlled by money in the end. That's why you wanted to "Bring the Troops Home," as your slogan said. Because if America's troops came home, America would lose and the Communists would win. And the progressive future would be one step closer.
But you never had the honesty-then or now-to admit that. You told the lie then to maintain your influence and increase your power to do good (as only the Chosen can). And you keep on telling the lie for the same reason. ***
It appears that maybe,just maybe,an adult in the Kerry camp has read Unfit For Command,and realizes that this book is BIG TROUBLE. In addition,after Mr. Thurlow's immediate return of fire today,the Kerryites are wary of Swiftboat mines in the water.I believe the Swifties have much more ammo (Alston,Lehman,etc.)and are just waiting for the right occasion to blast away.
He has offered to do so. I say, sure. It's a sign of good faith.
I'm listening on streaming audio from WABC in NY. Of course, I'm on cable so I'm not tying up a phone line.
Interesting...I will!!
Why should he? Seems like everybody there recognizes his "meritorious" service in jumping aboard the damaged boat, stabilizing the wounded and keeping the boat from sinking. That's what he thought that he got the Bronze Star for.
I've seen people get a Bronze Star for far less, like doing a good job keeping paperwork.
The difference, of course, is whether or not his has a "V" for valor. That's not clear. Kerry's does, and it appears that since he wrote the spot report, he probably didn't deserve the "V".
Certain instances, like if the boat was on fire and in danger of exploding, would justify a "V" for Thurlow, even in the absence of enemy fire.
No because he showed real valor in coming to the rescue of the mined boat.
* bump * Swiftees are riding high.

Because it would expose them as a fraud and shill for Kerry campaign!
But in the end, the object will be achieved, thanks, in large -if not total- part, are due to the Swiftees.
No. it was earned. the only reason Kerry included the additional lies about enemy fire was to try and justify a 3rd purple heart he'd use to get out of Vietnam asap.
I just go to hannity.com and use one of the three streaming audio options. The advantage of this is that each show repeats until the next day, when it is updated live and then this new episode repeats until the next update.
He'd gladly give it up, for the truth.
I like Mutley. Comparing Mutley to Kerry is really low!
BTW, Drudge reporting swifties to introduce new television ad tomorrow morning!
"BTW, Drudge reporting swifties to introduce new television ad tomorrow morning!"
No wonder Kerry is going ballistic now. He must have been tipped of to its contents. By the way, Brit Hume just went over the evolving Silver Star citation and how new and glowing language was added at a later date. (The Kerry campaign does not know why the language was changed.)
OK I'm sorry, Mutley isn't that bad. :-)
Interesting that if a casual visitor wants to see what the ad laughingly calls "the official documents" they have to dig for the .pdf files on that site. There's no direct or obvious link; instead it requires a search.
