Truth for its own sake is not a priority of the so-called "journalists" of the American "mainstream newsmedia".

In fact, it's not even a consideration.

In fact, they would consider the very idea ridiculous. Their purpose is persuasion (i.e. propaganda), not truth.

It seems like it may be taking hold a little bit now. If this stays out there long enough on FOX and talk radio, let's just hope it will get big enough that the alphabets have no choice but than to discuss it.

Notice that those that support Kerry have nothing really to offer in defending him from the well documented points cited in the book. All they can do is shout and call the Vets names and make wild accusations. Anyone that reads any of the well researched book, and doesn't belive it, can only be too dumb to realize that Kerry is a LIAR and a BUM. I would also hope he is a LOSER!

UGH!!!
One of the main jobs of Swift Boats on this river is to look for anything big enough floating down the river that it might have an explosive strapped to it.

To make sure the VC hadn’t booby-trapped the debris in this awfully foul and muddy river we just shot it with the .50 cal machine gun.

It was not uncommon to see the carcass of an animal floating down the river and sometimes even people. We had to shoot those too, just to make sure they weren’t rigged into a mine.

Since it was Christmas we opened bottles of Coca-Cola and I unwrapped a gift that my mother had sent me. A pair of purple flip-flops, that moment was seared –seared- into my memory. I keep those flip-flops with me even to this day in a secret compartment in my black briefcase.

Later we were in Cambodia and our boat was carry a SEAL team and CIA agents. Marilyn Monroe was there for a while too, in fatigues, shooting an enemy aircraft with the twin guns. There were purple dinosaurs and pink donkeys running up and down the shoreline, they were VC and they were shooting at us with small caliber candy corn.

The muddy river was now chocolate and the trees had become lollipops and the crocodiles in the river were all smiling and cracking obscene jokes.

I think someone had managed to spike those Cola’s. The memories of those days are etched and seared, yes seared, into my mind. We were out there fighting sacks of rice, burning villages, shooting children in the back, and we had fun doing it.

I got a purple heart because of that piece of candy corn stuck under my fingernail. They even gave me a medal of honor after I had led the anti-war protests. Someone has been spiking my drinks all my life and when I am President, I might find out who has been doing it. I blame Nixon. I wake up at night screaming because of Nixon. I will order his arrest as President, I will have my revenge finally.

I will also my finger on the nuclear button, which should be fun. Yes, I can see it now. It will be seared –seared- into memory when I accidentally nuke Texas.


heheheh.. I just added this to the MUDVILLE GAZETTE fiction thing... whatever they call it.

Notice how tonight, the NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw managed to make the "dig" of the new Moveon.org commercial part of the "news", while the Swift Vote Veterans are "lost in Space". Psst, excuse me NBC ... you bias is showing ... again ...

Many years ago my sister got a job to help her through college.... checking groceries...
In order to get this job she had to take a lie detector test...

Funny how jobs like Senator, Congressman, Supreme Court Justice, and POTUS candidates dont seem to need lie detector tests....

But grocery clerk check outs do.....

Not sure they produce paper wide enough to record sKerry's richter mark on a lie detector test.

I have heard some discussion of this on public radio. The party line seems to be:

My distinct impression is the elite media simply do not believe the swift boat veterans against Kerry; they still believe Kerry is a genuine war hero.

Big media is so far behind the story now they will have no chance to catch up.

I challange anyone to ask John O'Neill to see the supporting documentation behind Unfit for Command... investigate the allegations... apply 10% of the scuitiny they did to GWB's "AWOL" red herring.

If Big Media refuses, they are complicit in the biggest amercian conspiracy since Benedict Arnold. This time the traitor is running for president

Unfit for Command lays out the case. Read it - there's a big show coming...

The only other "genuine" war hero the current leftist media really knows is John McCain, and his hero status derives from being a POW. To them anyone who has a medal and can shoot a gun is a "war hero."

Kerry is toast. Time to start thinking about 2008.

A pathological liar like Kerry might very well pass a polygraph test. He undoubtedly believes what ever he is saying at the moment.
