LETTERS, FAXES AND E-MAILS TO THE EDITOR (Star-Telegram)
Veterans against Murtha
Jim Wright and other Democrats have been bemoaning a potential "Swift-boating" of Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania. (See Sunday commentary "Another casualty of war.")
Beautiful poetry aside, let's set the record straight. In 2004, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth provided a tremendous service by exposing the disgraceful Vietnam War conduct of John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee. I happily donated to their cause and would proudly join them again in defense of our nation's military.
But that stellar organization isn't involved with the planned Oct. 1 rally in Johnstown, Pa., where our group, Vets for the Truth (VFTT), intends to call out Murtha for his horrendous pronouncement of guilt regarding the "Haditha Marines." (See Aug. 14 news story "Veterans taking aim at war critic.")
Additionally, many hawkish, decorated combat veterans vehemently disagree with the supposedly authoritative voice of Murtha, who incessantly belittles our military's mission, accomplishments and vital presence in our war on terror.
VFTT members have not served in Swift boats, but all have worn our country's uniforms proudly. And we've earned the right to speak out, with or without the approval of Murtha's groupies.

He referred specifically to the Swift boat veterans, noting that in 2004 they spent "millions of somebody's dollars" impugning John Kerry's patriotism and that they're at it again, this time with a "new bag of money" that'll be used to discredit John Murtha because of his get-out-of-Iraq stance.
One could argue that Kerry and Murtha are self-appointed jihadist allies and that they and their supporters are contributing to national disunity. These get-out-of-Iraq folks have access to millions of dollars supplied by Moveon.org, George Soros and others.
Who can deny that they're trying to discredit the Swifties and others who support the war?

For the record, no I do not know who Gordon Crow is. But it was nice to read his letter. :-)
Mine seems to have been unedited, with the exception of they removed the URL for Boot Murtha. That's a bummer, but not surprising.
To read more about the 1 Oct rally and Boot Murtha's efforts, please go to www.bootmurtha.com
Last night the rally was mentioned on Mark Levin's radio show, after receiving coverage by Sean Hannity last Friday and Matt Drudge before that. We are gaining momentum, but we need a lot of help!
I have to give the Star-Telegram credit for having the integrity to run my response (the other side of the story) in its entirety, along with another reader's similar view.
A follow-up to the "Another Casualty of War" thread from Monday.

Very good indeed, both are excellent letters and get to the meat of the issue. They are also both truthful, a thing that Murtha, Wright any many on the left have a difficult time conveying.
Support Diana Irey.

The REAL story
ta-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa, went the the twin engines on John kill em all kerry's boat (real heros have nick names like that). It was a dark and quiet night, John kill em all Kerry turned to his first mate and (in a quiet yet confident voice) said...."it's quiet...too quiet I don't like it.
If only we can get a bit farther up river without getting spotted we'll be able to drop off secret agent x-183".
In the blink of an eye the calm of the night was SHATTERED KAPOW KAPOW WOOOOSH BLAM BLAM the night came alive with a song of DEATH! They had sailed into a clever ambush set by Charlie (John kill em all Kerry's long time foe).
The crew strickened with fear and unable to move turned as one to the one man who had the courage, the skill, the WILL to save them.
John kill em all Kerry like a coiled spring leapped into action (That's what heros like to do in these kind of situations) with a sneer on his lips John kill em all Kerry THRUST the throttle forward and mzzz teraza (hero's like john kill em all Kerry like to have names for their boats) LEAPPED like a mighty stallion BAAATTLE STATIONS he shouted! Waking as from a dream John kill em all kerry's band of brothers charged to their stations.
BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA sang the quad 50s in a tune that sang death and destruction for Charlie and his commie stooges, BRRRRAAAAAPPPP the 60's spat out a curtain of lead, BOOOOM BOOOOM the 300mm mortars adding their song to the aria of war!
Now the dirty commies would pay for DARING to attack John killl em all Kerry and his All American band of brothes! With a ferral grin John kill em all Kerry shouted DIE COMMIE SCUM! (see hero types like John kill em all Kerry say things like that, they teach them that at hero school).
Just when it looked like one more (glorious) victory for John kill em all Kerry and his gallant band of brothers, KABOOOOM sneeky underhanded commie frogmen (and they're the worst kind) had placed a mine (the dirty rotten dastardly Khmer rouge bast*rds) on the sleak and deadly mzzz teraza! In a bat of an eyelash john kill em all Kerry knew his gallant little steed was done for,
Flinging the little mzzz teraza at the nearest nest of vipers John kill em all Kerry CHARGED straight into the muzzels of death.
Afraid? Not he, John kill em all Kerry didn't know the meaning of fear

The mortally wounded boat rammed into the den of inequity, and leapping from the galllant but doomed craft a 50cal in his right hand his (trusty) M-16 in his left a 5in. cannon strapped to his back John kill em all Kerry LEAPPED into the very heart of the enemy AAAAHHHHHH he cried all the while dealing death to the left and right (hero types do stuff like that all the time, that's why they're hero types)
The (dirty) commies quaked in fear at this (magnificent specimen) All American hero type in a blood lust cried "It's kill em all Kerry! Please don't kill us, John kill em all Kerry would have none of that! Not after their dastardly attack and mortal wounding of his (beloved) mzzz teraza, DIE YOU DIRTY COMMIE RATS, I'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS WITH MASSACHUSETTS!
And oh the carnage the ensued, So terrible was his (awesome but sensitive) wrath that soon after those above him (being jealous of his superior combat skills and the love his band of brothers had for him) sent him back to the good old US of A.
