ping!

Be sure to check out the DNC 2004 "ad" in #20. ;-D

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

"Since it appears the national press has been complicit in creating Kerrys ficticious Biography, don't you think it is time that a law is passed where the press can be sued for Mal Practice and forbidden ( disbarred) from the industry, Heavily fined, or possibly jailed for negligence, incompetence or fraud?"

-- Nope. That would destroy the first amendment. Setting first amendment issues aside, it would be wrought with political manipulation. In a free market, conservative ideas prevail. But for there to be a truly free market of ideas, there should be less regulation, not more. How about the thousands of tiny markets across the country where FOX news is barred from entering??? If people don't like the crap they see or hear, they don't watch it (see CNN's rating crash since FOX has came on the market).

---After Kerry's first election loss, while running for Congress from Mass.,his former brother in law, David Thorne said that Kerry lost the ability to speak and communicate.
He went into a funk and crawled into the fetal postion for a period of time.---

Just peachy.

[conshack]

Now I understand why Max Cleland has such an affinity for Lurch.


Speaking of Max Cleland. How many PH's did he get for losing 3 limbs? I'll bet ONE.

[CyberAnt]

And .. according to this statement: "Kerry simply 'bugged out' when the heat was on" .. isn't that exactly what Clinton did .. he ran away when his country called him to service.

This bunch of goons cannot be allowed to step one foot in the WH EVER AGAIN.

Kerry has just announced his healthcare plan..

A purple heart with every bandaid...

[Brian Allen]

<< I would like to know about the group of Vietnam vets who are supporting Kerry ... How many really knew him ? what are their motivations? >>

Free lunche, free booze -- and free fifteen minutes.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Bump for later.

[greasepaint]

Is the 'Christmas in Cambodia' story for real?,
either Kerry's, or the denial.

From the Publisher
Find out why John Kerry is Unfit for Command as told by the men who served with him
Unfit for Command reveals a John Kerry you don't know-the true John Kerry that his political image-makers are trying to hide. But the veterans who served with him know better, and in Unfit for Command, they tell their story, including:
* How all three of John Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, easily treated with band-aids, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization
* How captured Americans were tortured in North Vietnamese prisons for not endorsing John Kerry's false testimony-before the United States Senate-about alleged American war crimes
* How John Kerry carried a typewriter and an 8-mm home movie camera with him to Vietnam so he could record his own exaggerated version of his war exploits and film staged reenactments of his "combat actions" to advance his political career
* Why John Kerry's photograph hangs in a place of honor in the Vietnamese communist "War Remnants Museum" in Saigon
Want to know the real John Kerry? Read Unfit for Command-and prepare to be shocked.

From the Inside Flap
John Kerry, War Hero? Guess again.

John O'Neill was the naval officer who took over John Kerry's swift boat in the muddy waters of Vietnam. What he learned convinced him-and convinced the majority of veterans who served directly with Kerry-that John Kerry was and is unfit for command at the lowliest rank in the Navy, let alone as commander in chief of the United States.
In this stunning new book, John O'Neill and his coauthor Dr. Jerome Corsi (an expert on the anti-Vietnam War movement) have interviewed dozens of veterans who served with Kerry and have meticulously documented a shameful record of betrayal and deception on the part of John Kerry.
In Unfit for Command you'll learn:
* How two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire
* Why John Kerry's third Purple Heart "fanny wound" was the highlight of his much touted "no man left behind" Bronze Star
* How John Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of "heroism" by filing a false report on the incident.
* How John Kerry entered an abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered the domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter
* How John Kerry's reckless behavior convinced his colleagues that he had to go-becoming the only swift boat veteran to serve only four-months in Vietnam
* How as a leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, John Kerry attended a meeting where plans were discussed to assassinate prominent United States Senators who supported the war
* How Kerry met secretly with communist delegates at the Paris Peace Conference during the Vietnam War, and why some believe he violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice and federal law
Based on detailed interviews with Swift Boat veterans who served in Vietnam with John Kerry and on recently released FBI surveillance reports of John Kerry's anti-war activities, Unfit for Command is a shocking indictment of a politician who slandered his fellow veterans, danced on the edge of treason, and has shamelessly exaggerated his own war service for political ends

About the Author
John O'Neill served in Coastal Division 11 in Vietnam and took command of PCF 94, John Kerry's swift boat, after Kerry's departure. Outraged by Kerry's anti-war slanders against his fellow veterans, O'Neill faced Kerry in a famous debate on the Dick Cavett Show in 1971 refuting Kerry's accusations of rampant American war crimes in Vietnam. A graduate of the Naval Academy, and from a Navy family, O'Neill is a lawyer in private practice in Houston.

Jerome Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and is an expert on political violence and the anti-war movement in the United States. The author of many articles and books, he lives in {TK}.

"From everything I have learned about John Kerry in the past year by reading testimonials by people who know him, those he served with, his Military records, and looking at his Senate record, it's reasonable to conclude that John Kerry has a serious problem dealing with those in authority."

I think it's simpler than this. He's a liar and a pompous ass.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Bad news for Kerry bump.

It's going to be fascinating watching CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS run away from this book, trying to pretend that a number one seller doesn't exist.

[gatorbait]

Speaking of Max Cleland. How many PH's did he get for losing 3 limbs? I'll bet ONE.

He got none.Non combat, US grenade dropped while horsing around. Cleland's wounds were and are horrific as are his leftist politics.

Kerry Fitness Reports in Vietnam Show Him Unfit for Command
(Explodes Central Kerry Campaign Lie)

Kerry’s FITREPs are awash in dings, and some of the reports border on the adverse, particularly his combat FITREPs. The FITREPs convey significant performance problems and suggest problems in conduct, so much so that it is surprising that the campaign chose to release them. This may suggest that the FITREPs held from public view are even more adverse.

In what would customarily be an opportunity for a glowing “swan song” FITREP, the Commanding Officer of USS Gridley (DLG-21) tacitly blasts Kerry on his departure for Swift Boat duty by ranking him significantly below the norm in desirability for virtually every Navy assignment possible -– command, staff, whatever. He is a ship handler who is dinged in ship handling. He is in line for command, but his CO doesn’t want him near the bridge. He is slammed in all performance areas –- most notably and significantly in initiative and reliability. The “nice” narrative emphasizes performance in collateral duties, but in the grades and marks, the CO is telling the selection board and detailer loud and clear that this officer is lazy, unreliable and not suited for command. 3 SEP 68 (W.E. HARPER).
