The Dispatch has gone from a reliable conservative paper to a left wing liberal rag in the past five years.

They hate guns, love gays and despise the President.

Mr. Kerrry you are on video tape acting as the ad hoc representative of the enemy in 1971, and are on record presenting the Communist surrender demands directly to the United States Senate.

Coupled with Madam Binh's "Eight Point" surrender demand you leveled bizarre, baseless and scurrilous accusations against the decent men of the United States military in VietNam.

You have no excuses - there can be no excuse.

Obviously, Joe Hallett needs to get out more. Although it is hard to learn the facts with one's head buried in the sand.

Kerry said if Bush wants to ‘‘have a debate about our service in Vietnam, here is my answer: ‘Bring it on.’ "

Uhhhhhhh....okayyyy.

Then what, exactly, is the problem here?

I guess it depends on who writes the medals. Most of the guys in SWA will not write their own medals. If you have nothing to hide...then it can't come back and bite you in the butttttt...

Kerry’s postwar protest activities and his Senate voting record on defense issues are fair game for critics. But twisting his valorous war record for political purposes is shameful.

Hallet's hypocrisy is oozing. We have no right to criticize Kerry as a fraud but its okay for him to trash vets and call them liars. The liberal mindset at work.

Here you go. Something for your enjoyment.


The cool morning mist settled over the Cambodian border. The engine hummed, moving the swift boat slowly through the mined river. They weren't supposed to be here. It wasn't supposed to be this way. An illegal war conducted by President Nixon. It didn't make sense. Everything about this mission was wrong.

Lt. Kerry's mission was an impossible one. Find and silence Colonel Kurtz. Why had Colonel Kurtz fled to Cambodia? What madness had driven him to this? And why had they chosen him?

It didn't matter now. Now he had to find Colonel Kurtz. He had to silence this loose cannon. Something had to be done. Was he the man to do it? He didn't know. The personal demons had haunted him for far too long. He wanted to be patriotic. He needed to be patriotic. But a political career lay in wait for him back in the States.

Suddenly, the swift boat left the air from the thrust of the mine. Lt. Kerry didn't hestitate. He didn't second guess. He floored the throttle in retreat, hearing a scream from the stern. He looked back to see Jim Rassman in the water.

Could he leave him? Jim was just along for the ride. A ride taking them deep into the Cambodian jungle in search of a madman. The second passed, but Lt. Kerry knew he could leave no man behind.

The fifty caliber machine gun fire barked loudly from the shoreline. Then, he remembered it. He reached in his duffle bag at his side and pulled out his 8mm camera. He jerked the steering, turning the boat around and yelling, "Let's go boys. We're only gonna have one take at this!"

:) HA!

My husband has been a Ranger four over 15 years and has been awarded several medals. The difference is Kerry used them to get out of service while my husband is still serving in Iraqi.

I've wondered about that myself. Kerry wanted this debate, he got it. I don't understand for the life of me why liberals are so upset. He's a war hero, after all.

"Nevermind that Cleland lost two legs and his right arm in the Vietnam War. "

Obviously these folks think going for a beer is war. They must think going for a glass of Chablis is hell incarnate..

Mr Hallett,

James Carville told me that you weren't on the same boat as Mr. Kerry, so you are not qualified to comment.

Your editorial shows that you are willingly allowing Mr. Kerry to make you look like his obsequious courtier, rather than the gravelly, hard-bitten reporter I'm sure you really are.

'signed'

"In 2002, Republicans painted Sen. Max Cleland, a Georgia Democrat, as unpatriotic."

The writer ignores Georgia Republican Saxby Chabliss' unforgetable rejoinder:

"I'm not questioning your patriotism. I'm questioning your judgment."

Yes indeed a tame response. All the anti-war liberals who thought they had the perfect anti-war veteran are now screaming to protect their 'chosen one'.
