I created this little video the other day, in honor of Kerry and Bin Laden's almost identical statements... It was spawned of my disgust at the Washington Post calling Pat Robertson and Ahmadinejad a "duo", etc. a few weeks back, and ignoring all the Bin Laden tape quotes that sound like they were ripped right out of the Dems playbook. I'm to lazy to copy everything over, so just read my post for the history, that also links to other old posts for more background, and then watch the video. This was my first attempt at using "Windows Movie Maker",...

"Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism." --George Washington It's no surprise that John Kerry has devoted so much time and energy questioning George W. Bush's record as commander-in-chief. Nor is it any surprise that he recently launched a campaign calling on Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld to resign after a handful of military personnel humiliated al-Qa'ida terrorists in Abu Ghraib prison while attempting to obtain actionable intelligence about their plans to kill more of our troops. These political attacks are just the latest round on Kerry's long list of black-bag antics designed to undermine America's military strength and resolve....

Political campaigns are not usually good places to look for examples of pure truth. Indeed, they are famous as the source of all sorts of misstatements, evasions, wild accusations and other examples of near-dishonesty. So, normally, I wouldn't bother calling to your attention one particular falsehood, however egregious. OK, so John Kerry said something that wasn't true. So, no doubt, at one time or another, has President Bush. What else is new? What makes this particular falsehood worth your attention, however, is its sheer cleverness, and the contempt for the intelligence of the average voter that it reveals. I have...

SHOW: CNN CROSSFIRE 19:30 pm ET November 12, 1997; Wednesday 7:30 pm Eastern Time Transcript # 97111200V20 JOHN SUNUNU, CROSSFIRE: Senator Kerry, in fact, in spite of the administration claiming it has restored unanimity, that has not occurred. All the strength of this resolution had to be pulled out of it get any votes at all other than our own. Isn't this exercise actually counterproductive in sending a signal to Iraq that the coalition still remains frayed? SEN. JOHN KERRY, (D), MASSACHUSETTS, FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE: Well, John, you're correct that this resolution is less than we would have liked. I...

NOTE: President Carter used his 1980 SOTU speech to address the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the American hostages taken by Iran. He called for increasing military spending, reducing restrictions on the CIA, and revival of the selective services registration. Many on the left, like Noam Chomsky, attacked him for his response to the crisis, others, like Sen. McGovern supported him, while John Kerry offered qualified support and equivocation. ************************************************************************************************** January 25, 1980 by Richard H.

This has not appeared in the news yet (even on conservative sites). If we could get the tape of this, it would *destroy* Kerry. On 9/11, on Larry King Live, Kerry was asked the following question, and had the following response: KING: Senator Kerry did your -- did you committee on international opertions and terrorism ever actually fear something like this? SEN. JOHN KERRY: Absolutely. Absolutely. But let me join John [McCain] and I know all my colleagues in just expressing -- I think all of us here in Washington are feeling in very personal ways the loss of what's...
