"IF THE MEDIA START TO COVER THIS FAIRLY AND WITH AN OPEN MIND..."
Heh, heh, heh.........heh, heh, heh, heh, heh....ha, haa, haaa, haaaa..........ah ha ha, ah a ha,......aaaahhhaaaaa, aaaahhhaaaaa, aaaahhhaaaaa.....stop....stop....My stomach.....aaaahhhaaaaa, aaaahhhaaaaa.....
I think if the story told by O'Neil and the Swiftvets were somehow conclusively proven to be true in a way that not even Terry McAuliffe could dispute, then Chris Matthews' head would explode.
Because HE'S John Kerry. You don't question John Kerry. And the media carries water for John Kerry so he can say and do anything he wants.
This mindset of Kerry's however, can only go so far, and he's waaaayyyyy over the line already. The media will expose him only slightly before they realize their reputation is about to crumble. Won't be long, now.
Go further back to the original JFK years. The affairs that the LSM covered up, the buyoffs of Senator (maybe pre Senate) JFK shacking up with a Soviet spy, etc.
Then there the application of Dem power:
One story I heard repeated recently, was that rare time Teddy Kennedy got in to some trouble in Boston.
President JFK summoned the publisher of the Boston Globe to the oval office.
The end result was that the story was below the fold (can't see it on the newstands...) in much smaller type and # of
columns than how a real newspaper would treat such a story.
Nice analysis, it is the reality we live in.
We should ALL be calling Barnes and Noble and asking if they have 2 or 4 or 5 copies of "Unfit for Command". Make them continue to say that they don't have any, make them agree to order more, and buy as many copies as you can get your hands on (I think the book would make nice Labor Day reading!)
The point is that demand is created by consumer interest. Do your part and help create demand.
Maybe. But the fact that the Dems' schedule for the primaries was so truncated, that it began with the Iowa cuacuses (packed with the most left leaning, anti-war delegates) and then went to NH (also far to the left of the country) rather assured this result.
RATS, including Terry McAwful, now realize that Kerry is a fraud, sold them a bill of goods, and has been totally compromised. They should have chosen Edwards.
Just desserts. They wanted this dud, and now they are stuck with him.
Anybody notice that none of the elected elders -- Biden, Levin, Breaux, Graham -- is coming out to defend Kerry on Vietnam? Just the paid hacks. Tells a lot.
If not the Swift Vet story in particular, this election cycle will break the back of the lib media - they will either adapt to reality or perish.
Keep complaining and boycotting - they don't care but their boards and their advertisers do.
bump
As usual, your reasoning and conclusions are faultless.
Do you have to f*%!@ing "shout"?
Keep your eye on Kerry this weekend --- taking two days off -- he is going to try to pull some stunt when he addresses the VFW this week to try to "get this behind him."
Be ready for more lies.
Has McAuliffe been out on any shows attacking the Swifties?
Just came from the NYTimes website where I searched for Cambodia. NADA on Kerry, but an Aug 8 reprise on Nixon's resignations.
Pathetic and true.
