Of course the mandatory licks must get in...
At least it's accurate.
I get irritated hearing "the so-called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" all the time.
I have never heard the NAACP referred to as "the so-called National Association for the Advancement of Colored People"
He put his crew in danger by "blundering into one of the most dangerous canals in Vietnam, a canal that to those who knew the area was notorious for Viet Cong ambushes."
Luck for J. Phony K. the Viet Cong, Pathet Lao, NVA, Chicoms... were all celebrating Christmas to excess with warm Ba Mui Ba, and did not notice a fifty-five foot boat running the blue.
jimbo, And...according to at least one of the Swifties, it was physically impossible to go into Cambodia from where they were. Barriers of some sort across the river. Secondly, if it were a possibility, they would have used a quieter and faster boat than the swifts used.
Bottom line to me here is; This opens Pandora's box for the truly uninformed dims that Kerry has the propensity to lie and will help ease the way to reveal other lies(metals and awards). I'm excited about the prospect.

None of the Buddhist Vietnamese that I encountered had any inkling what Chritmas was, let alone celebrate it. Only a pathological liar like Kerry could concoct a story that could get so many holes shot in it. Guess he once again forgot about the millions of vets that would also know this. What a dumba$$.
lol - so you feel "anti-Kerry" vets is better than so-called ones. So be it ;)
Had you already seen it before? I figured, I might as well post it in case anyone hadn't seen it yet. I watch it every now and then for kicks!
This video,

is one of the only things folks on both sides of the aisle can have a good laugh at.
Actually, I do. The descriptive term "anti-kerry" accurately describes the Swiftees' purpose. I have seen them termed "pro-Bush" which is totally false.
The term "so-called" is commonly used to imply that something really isn't what its name says it is. Quotation marks can be used in similar fashion.
Consider these descriptions of an 80-year-old man accompanied by a 20-something attractive lady:
The man arrived at the party with his niece.
The man arrived at the party with his so-called niece.
The man arrived at the party with his "niece".
They don't quite read the same, do they?
would the CIA give a covert operation to a guy who is taking home movies of his medals?
Would Hillary do it? Of course. Rudy would never do it!!!Rudy does what he wants. If he wants to run against Hillary in 06 he will. Rove, The President, or the Pope would never get him to step down if being Senator is what he wants.
