Live! Nightline is doing a story on the Kerry Vietnam controversy. I notice the correspondent is Jake Tapper, formerly a liberal reporter for Salon. We'll see...
I am disapointed with Nightline. They should have put a swift boat vet up against a Kerry supporting swift boat vet, not two talking media heads.
They sure are fighting hard.
Clinton got in on the act on the daily show as well.
They are fighting this as hard as they can
This Halberstam guy is priceless. Where did they find this guy--the NY Times broom closet?
but yeah, it's a setup.
Unbelievable.
The Left's inability to comprehend how much Kerry is hated by the Vets is amazing.
Yo, Halberstam, Kerry voted for the War.
I am really nauseated!!!
Habersham tool is equating Iraq with Vietnam... What a Clymer. He sure is boring. The Christian Science monitor reporter is at least entertaining to watch.
I've got 800 channels on this dang dish thing, and I cant find Nightline. I guess it's a blessing.
I hate to tell that stupid guy, Halberstam, but it IS a question of character. Thank goodness for the Christian Science Monitor person who is setting the record straight. They are giving more time to Halberstam though
Brit Hume is being rerun here CST...11:30 and is talking about the Swiftboad ads...you might get a little balance here! I think the round table group will be on in just a moment to discuss it...
He is a wretched prick.
Yo, Halberstam, Kerry has divided us by deploying Vietnam in every sentence. HELLO!!!!
Halberstam is one of those leftist journalists who made his reputation in Vietnam by undermining the war effort. They enjoyed the fact that the US was defeated and they constantly compare everything through the prism of Vietnam. Halberstam thinks Iraq is another Vietnam.
Now Halberstam is listing all the Republican "chicken hawks." What about the vets who were there and think Kerry is a lying, opportunistic SOB? What happened to them?
erry told some reporters what HE would have done during the "Seven Minutes":
"Well, first off, as soon I heard the 'Kerry Call' with my super-hearing, I would have asked the children to excuse me while I 'used the facilities.'
"Ducking into an unwatched broom closet, I would have shed my disguise as the mild-mannered and dorky 'John F. Kerry' and immediately emerged as Purple John (!), Champion of Camelot (!!!). (Here, Kerry does an orchestral "dun-dun-DAH!")
"Rushing back into the classroom-- to delight the kids and reassure the staff-- I would have BLASTED like a bolt of lightning into the sky!
"Using my own 'Kerry Caller,' I would have telepathically sent urgent messages to all my special super-friends, such as: Golden Edwards, Mistress Ter-A-Zuh, and Licorice the Wonder Hamster.
"Meet me in the skies over New York, Mistress T! And Licorice, Golden Edwards will need YOUR aid in the skies over D.C.! (Here, Kerry offers *chirp! chirp!* to simulate Licorice's reply.)
"Hah! With my invincible team of super-heroes, NO jet would have crashed into the second tower OR the Pentagon. It's just that simple. Any questions?"
Over here
Tapper attempts to smear the swift vets by claiming their spokesperson is married to a guy who ran for lt. governor of Texas while Bush was governor. Good grief.
Thank you much
local channels aren't always included in dish packages; nor broadcast networks in general. you can thank congress for that; they were bought off by the association of local broadcast affiliates.
Thanks for the laugh!!
The CSM gal at least made the point that Kerry made his Vietnam service a campaign issue. She was useless otherwise.
