Kerry's Anti-War Record Discussed at White House Briefing

This was the exchange at today's White House press briefing, much of which focused on George W. Bush's service records with the National Guard.
JEFF GANNON (Talon News): Since there have been so many questions about what the President was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard?
Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda, denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam?
Did he testify before Congress that American troops committed war crimes in Vietnam?
And did he throw somebody else's medals at the White House to protest a war America was still fighting?
What was he doing after he was honorably discharged?
MR. McCLELLAN: We've already commented on some of his views relating back to that period the other day. And, obviously, this was a time period also when he was going to get his MBA at Harvard. But the President was certainly proud to serve in the National Guard.
TERRY MORAN (ABC NEWS): And would the White House consider those actions by Senator Kerry, that Jeff mentions fair game in the political season?
MR. McCLELLAN: Terry, I think -- I know that that's a way to try to draw us into a Democratic primary that is ongoing.

Heard the WABC radio news announcer casually add, Viet Nam War Hero to Kerry's name the other day. I nearly fell over! Talk about carrying the banner for the leftists......

Thank you, kind sir! I missed the question, as after 15 mins of the stupid WH press corps interrogation about every comma and period on the payroll records that had been released, I couldn't take any more.
Sure sorry that I turned it off now though.
To: Jeff Gannon
Hey Jeff...lets get ready to RUMBLE.
Eagles up.

To: Dog
Yes, but our so called supporters are too busy bashing President Bush to be bothered with getting the truth out about Kerry.

I agree with you - though it's awfully tempting to allow the liberal media/dems to pull the President and White House into the fray with their weird accusations.
Perhaps if Mr. Gannon is able to continue this line of question he will be able to embarrass the other media into a position where they will have to deal with these issues. Fingers crossed!
To: Jeff Gannon
I call it the "gasp" factor. The media stars were apoplectic when I let loose with that! If you didn't see it, catch it on C-SPAN.com later.BRAVO, Jeff! I'll definitely check out C-SPAN. I heard you on Hannity earlier tonight... great segment!
FReepers are indeed everywhere!

To: Jim Robinson
I understand that FR is your baby and it may exist for totally different purposes. However, this election is critical and freepers have been digging up important opposition research on Kerry. It would be a real waste if this was the terminal point of that important work. Is there some way for this to be forwarded to people with the ability to do something with it. If the runts at moveon can affect this campaign, why can't Free Republic?
To: Jeff Gannon
Rock on Freeper.....this is the ONLY WAY this stuff will get covered!

You may have been pinged already, but this is worth a double ping!

I'm a big Talon News fan. I get their stuff through GOPUSA.com. I've posted several articles of Talon's, Jimmy Moore etc. Not sure if I've posted any of Jeff's but you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be keeping my eyes out especially for them after today!!
