Ya Meek, that photo says a 1,000 words. Guess folks who couldn't picture
that scenario in their mind's eye should see something like this.

Exactly! I hope a LOT OF EYES get to see that pic.

Now a doctor is saying Kerry has shrapnel in his leg because (hero that he is) he refused to be operated on!!

I won't believe this unless there is a current X-ray on kerry's leg. There ain't no shrapnel in kerry's leg.

ut oh!

[NYTexan]

I just heard today that his call sign in the Navy (that he selected himself) was 'Boston Strangler'.

[laurenmarlowe]

Thanks for the ping Tonk.

[Libloather]

Surprisingly, ABC-TV report said Kerry can't walk away from the SBV charges...

And I heard the NY Times is pissed that he hasn't gone back to his war protest position - the one he had in the 70's.

I'm learning more about the Vietnam war than I EVER have - and my book hasn't even arrived yet!

[BykrBayb]

You're doing fine, kerry. Keep digging!

[Cboldt]

My husband has a theory... he seems to think that the Dems know Kerry will never win, so let him lose... thus paving the way for Hillary in 08.. any thoughts?

Not a bad theory, but it doesn't go far enough to explain what is going on. Kerry losing, no biggie. But unmasking teh media, showing that it HELPED Kerry perpetrate a con of this magnitude, will take quite a bit of power away from the media, and thereby damage the DEM party that it supports.

Kerry's done gone and kicked a hornet's nest, and hasn't felt the first sting yet.

[BIGLOOK]

OK, but what was his tag among his shipmates?

[RottiBiz]

I keep wondering why Admiral Schachte hasn't come forward to confirm the incident.

He isn't a member of the Swift Vets and maybe because he is still on active duty.

I keep hoping he is the Swiftees "ace in the hole."

"I don't think the lamestream reporters have even read this stuff"
===

No kidding! Folks around here are WAY ahead of most media.

This has been discussed in-depth since May when the Swift Boat Veterans first appeared on CSPAN-2. Most 'journalists' claim this has just been newsworthy for about 3 weeks. LOL!

[itsahoot]

I am outraged, and am tired of emailing all the networks, doesn't seem to make a dent.

Just shout at your TV, it accomplishes the same thing, and lets you ventilate.

There was a discussion here a while back on "Truth" and it generated some heated discussion. Well in spite of all that unless the press makes an issue of something, the truth matters not one whit. The election outcome will be determined by people who get there information from the Alphabetical networks.

We are at war, and until we, and I include President Bush in that "we," act like it, then we are doomed to go down the same stupid path we did in Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Haiti.........

War is hell, and there can be no King's X zones. I remember Victory Gardens, green ration stamps, Oleo that looked like lard and no one I new complained that Bubble Gum was rationed, because we knew we were at war.

[Darksheare]

Interesting.

[agincourt1415]

Actually, Kerry should request the change to his DD 214, as a correction.

[Darksheare]

I made a dent!
umm...
in my TV..
/ joke

Honestly, you're right.
The press likes to play games and smugly refer to themselves not as reporters of the news but as 'shapers of opinion'.

[agincourt1415]

The Secretary of each military department, acting through a Board of Correction of Military Records, has the authority to amend any military record as necessary to correct an error or remove an injustice.

[Libertina]

LOL Pretty indefensible, isn't it?

[demkicker]

Here's some good news. Was just watching Fox News and our President just aired a fantastic commercial! It was brilliant. Shows John Kerry saying, (not exact words, but close) When I become President, I'll strengthen the intelligence we need to prevent terrorism. Then there's a voice-over that sarcastically says, "Oh really?"

Then it shows in print with voice-over that before 9/11 John Kerry missed 78% of intelligence committee votes. The zinger comes when it says, After September 11th, John Kerry has missed ALL of the votes. There's the promises John Kerry makes and there's his record of what he does. Again, this is not word for word, but close!

I will croak if this scumbag becomes our President. Spread the word so that it can't happen, please!

[SandRat]

add that to the Chairman of FEC calling Kerry's charges/complaint to them "Absurd!"

[Paulus Invictus]

If he came home early based on a lie, he should be sent back now to finish his tour. He could be ordered to clean and re-paint the Hanoi Hilton. Then he should stay in Hanoi as a honey dipper for five years. He's been ladling out the stuff for years so it's not a big change for him. (Only a former Far East vet like me knows what a honey dipper does).
