Looks like instead of "schrapnell in the Ass" he's getting an RPG up his butt.

Go Swifties!

Hold your position!

Take no prisoners!

Bump!

[Lazamataz]

Wait, John Kerry went to Vietnam???

That changes everything.

[AndyJackson]

the Swiftvets are a lot tougher and more determined than Gennifer Flowers, et al.

Flowers et al was reprehensible because it involved mistreatment of human beings rather than just school-boy bragging about his war record. The problem for the DNC is that there were witnesses to Kerry's act - lots of them - as well as his own word. And there are millions of ex-military who can weigh the words of the swift boat veterans against those of the lying weasels at the DNC. The DNC operatives seem to have a lot of experience "nuancing" charges of rape. Understanding how to fabricate a convincing military record is beyond them. What they don't understand is that it is beyond just about anyone, and anyone who had served would have told them not to try.

I dunno. I think their strategy is that they don't have to convince the military vets (who's votes they aren't going to get anyway), they only have to convince the average ninny on the street. But if the average ninny on the street chooses to believe the vets rather than the duplicitous 'rats, then they have real problems.

Does anyone see a trend here?...

Hmmm. 2000, St Louis sued by dead voter to keep polls open late. John Ashcroft defeated, now atty gen. Hmmmm. 2000, Florida 'chads' questioned by lawsuit being filed to question the results. Supreme's have to make a decision... GWB elected prez

No, no trends... but a lot of scumbags searching the trash cans! Lawyers are not our friends... but then, we need bugs, as well, to process the detritus...

I was wondering why John O'Neill did not include the fact that President Nixon was not inaugurated until January 20, 1969 when documenting the "1968 Christmas in Cambodia" lie.

I guess there were too many lies to remember them all.

O'Neill also didn't mention that Rassman fell out of Kerry's boat when Kerry bugged out too fast after the other swift boat hit the mine.

Those are both very important facts from my perspective.

[AndyJackson]

they only have to convince the average ninny on the street.

First off, the dims cannot just write off the veteran vote. Second, not every ninny on the street had a friend who knew Flowers. Even the most wacked out liberal in the country works with someone who served in the military.

Here is the note I got back from Kranish who wrote the piece in the Boston Globe, which I believe was published so that the more cowardly TV stations managers could USE IT as an excuse to refuse to air the Swift Boat Ads. (I sent Mike Kranish the page from Amazon.com advertising his connection with the Kerry campaign via the book and reminded him that PEGGY NOONAN had the decency to publically step down from her job as a journalist, writer as it were, for the Wall Street Journal to AVOID conflict of interest...asking that HE DO THE SAME!)

Here is his reply to me via email.

Lynn,
The Amazon site was in error, which they tell me they have now fixed. I never did any work for the Kerry campaign, and of course was not involved in a campaign-authorized book.

I understand that Amazon has been changing the author of this book around a bit...don't know what is going on, if anything, but I believe SOMETHING is wrong with this entire story. Don't you?

[RottiBiz]

Outstanding post, Meek!

Love all the pics. Like what you did to the plane. LOL!

"The New Soldier" cover picture is a great reminder of what Kerry was really doing when he returned home from Vietnam.

The photo of the officers who served with Kerry shows how much support he doesn't have from those who knew him best.

Great job all around!

".......Kerry may be ahead in the polls, but not for long..."

From your keyboard to God's ears. Justice MUST prevail. What a disgrace to this country if Kerry is elected the leader of the free world. May the 'true Viet Nam heroes' prevail and free us all from the clutches of the liars.

I agree. But to a certain extent the Republicans have a similar problem. I don’t believe that there are many truly undecided voters this election. But, there is a large group of disgruntled conservatives, like me, who would rather either not vote at all or vote for the Constitution Party. We need to be reminded just how bad Kerry is in order to motivate us to vote for Bush. With most of the Democrats in “anybody but Bush mode” and many Conservatives needing to be in “anybody but Kerry mode”, this should be a very good election for negative advertising from either side.

Kerry is a liar, plain and simple!

Another song?



Lie Kerry Lie
"Lay Lady Lay"

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.

Whatever big lies you have in your mind.
You'll tell them to us, do you think we're blind?

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.

You burned a village, killed some civilians,
Committed war crimes, you said it was true.
Now you say you’re a hero that we all should love,
Well I tell you, we despise you.

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerrie lie,
Can’t believe a word you said.

Your lies are dirty,
And your, hands aren’t clean.
The biggest liar,
That we’ve, ever seen.

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerry lie,
Can’t believe a word you said.

*bump* Succint and clear summary. Wonder if ANY newspaper will print it, or if ANY television network will cover it.

[Las Vegas Dave]

Pinging!

"....we will see how long Hillry keeps the bank vault open..."

If it will help her get the 08 nomination...that $$$ flow will be short lived. Could this be the beginning of the end for Kerry? Is Madame Hillary helping to orchestrate the downfall of Monsieur Kerry? Time will tell.

[lonestar]

John F. Kerry seems to suffer from an extreme case of narcissim. The Clymer!

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you so much! :^D

Thanks for posting - very interesting!

Fox New Sunday is going to discuss this in a little while.

It will be interesting how this subject is "shaped"!

Brit Hume's reaction will be interesting considering he has known JFKerry since childhood.
