SpellCheck? :-)
I had recently heard one to many Democrats regurgitate the Bush was selected not elected.
Yep. It reminds of a converstaion I heard yesterday at Barnes and Noble. One lady was complaining to her twentysomething kids that "all the books in the international affairs section were conservative." I saw the section: three or four conservative books in a sea of twenty-odd lefty tomes.
The book that Kerry wishes would just go away. |
HanoiJohnKerry.com is a blog with a primary purpose. That purpose is to counter the preposterous claims of Sen. John Forbes Kerry (D-MA) that he has any legitimate claim to any sort of "brotherhood" among combat veterans of the War in Vietnam. While it is generally supposed that his service as a Naval officer on a "Swift Boat" in that theater was adequate and honorable, there is much to question regarding his readiness to allow the accolade "war hero" to be applied to him. Likewise, it is not at all uncommon for more senior Naval officers to raise an eyebrow at the swiftness and relative comfort by which Lt. JG Kerry attained those medals, and who is available to vouch for the efficacy of his being awarded them (since, as boat commander, it would be his own task to make recommendation for awards for all personnel, including himself, on the Swift Boat). But most egregious was his conduct, words and associations upon his early-out (from SEA) return to the USA and discharge from the US Navy. His leadership role with the radical pro-Communist (inaccurate to deem this group "anti-war") group called "Vietnam Veterans Against the [Vietnam] War" (hereafter VVAW). |
It was while climbing the social and political ladder of the pro-Soviet Left as a principle of VVAW that John Kerry found his political soul-mate in Hanoi Jane Fonda. Granted, these politically formative years for Kerry were prior to the more outlandish acts of Fonda that earned her that name, but it is easily documentable that Fonda did not under go any radical transformation in belief or character from the time she and Kerry were working the same side of the street to the time she traveled to Hanoi, NVN and entered US history as the most overt traitor to ever NOT be charged, tried and executed. John Kerry went to his own overt extremes to demonstrate that, politically, socially and in lowness of character, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference between he and Fonda. Thus, in the spirit of fairness and accuracy, we are reasonably certain that he will be agreeably flattered by calling him Hanoi John Kerry. |
Here, testifying before the Fulbright Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is where John Kerry, spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, cemented his position and moniker as "Hanoi John" Kerry. This was the occasion where US troops still in the field in Vietnam learned from one of their FORMER brothers-in-arms that they were heinous murderers and war criminals. HJK would now like to call on them for support in his bid to be the new Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Perhaps the most preposterous hypocrisy of all. |
Someone call the computer technician for Mr. Punk!
Dude, ever hear of the New York Times?
Thank you for posting a short (but great) comment. I was trying to pull a long, meandering statement together to express the sentiments that you expressed in a few words. Thanks again.
They are all mad because they cannot yell "baby killer" anymore, and get away with it.
ping
That's exactly their reasoning. Pretty loopy.
Didn't Sean Penn take out a full-page vanity editorial in the LA Times to explain how dissent had been chilled?
Sure you will. A good ol' auto response thanking you for your comments but due to the volume of email traffic they can't respond "on topic".
Thanks for taking the time to let them know that real Americans reject this bs.
I'm sorry!!! I SHOULD have put the "barf alert" on this when I posted it, but I was too irritated with Kanelis (our local editorial page editor and writer of the article) at the time!! He DOES rub the wrong way at times!
I PROMISE I'll do better in the future! LOL!
Does that moron, that "writer", that "editor" not really know the A.N.S.W.E.R. to it's question?
I'm right beside you with the extinguisher. Bring 'em on.
[I wonder if I will receive a response from the author?]
I loved your letter to Kanelis!!! And I would NOT count on a reply from him.... The things I know about this newspaper...
Read for content, not to see if it looks "pretty" or whatever.
Yep. I was stationed north of San Francisco in the mid 60's and know that they not only got away with yelling "baby killers" but were encouraged by the media to go for it. (but that was only dissent, right?) It still hurt even though it was only dissent.
