Thanks for posting this.
I look forward to hearing more about the event.

[firebrand]

Thanks, pookie. I will try to make this one, just because I am so sick of seeing those "Bush Lies/Who Dies?" stickers pasted all over New York City.

Kerry lied.
Others died.
We will be fried.
If Kerry is elected.
So cast him aside.

[Poohbah]

Jesse Jackson, is that you?

Sounds like this will be a wonderful event. Wish I could be there. I'm emailing to all on my list to pass along, and get the word out.

I'm sure you're familiar with this:

Kerry essentially admitted today on Meet the Press that he lied about Viet Nam in 1971.

[pookie18]

No one will care. Now had Bush lied about his Alabama Air Nat'l Guard service, they'd want to impeach him ;-)

The screws need to be tightened. This b*stard and his lies need to be nailed down FIRMLY.

We should all remember that liberals are famous for "projection". That is where they project upon conservatives that which they are in fact, actually guilty of.

When Kerry says that US Soldiers committed attrocities over in Vietnam, I believe him. I think that HE committed attrocities and the only way he can live with himself is to assume that others did and he was just part of a larger problem.

When Democrats said that anyone who opposed Clinton "hated him" I was always baffled. I didn't hate Clinton. I was disgusted by him. I was repelled by him. But I didn't hate him. It is now clear why they did that... THEY HATE anyone they disagree with, so they assume that we do too.

Projection; We must rememember this because it will provide us a clue as to what they are up to. Whatever they claim we are doing, THEY are doing.

Please dress properly and leave the imposters to dress as former soldiers.

I agree with this assessment. Yet I remember with vivid disgust a 1973 base directive (Lejeune) recommending civilian clothes while stateside, off-base out-of-area.

As a single instance which still sits unsettled, I remember most commercial airlines gave all "in-uniform" military personnel airfare discounts back then.

I also remember not many of us took advantage of this discount because it just wasn't worth the vilification.

I wore my uniform with pride.

Do you accept this apology? Every Veteran should know....

 

John F Kerry's JANE FONDA LIKE APOLOGY:

Meet The Press  April 18, 2004

 

".....It was, I think, a reflection of the kind of times we found ourselves in and I don't like it when I hear it today.  I don't like it, but I want you to notice that at the end, I wasn't talking about the soldiers and the soldiers' blame, and my great regret is, I hope no soldier--I mean, I think some soldiers were angry at me for that, and I understand that and I regret that, because I love them.  But the words were honest but on the other hand, they were a little bit over the top...."

This IS a good idea. Do keep it apolitical to prevent it getting perverted by the press or the jacques strap kerry campaign.
