I'm ready to explode - literally to explode!! The press, once called the Fourth Estate has now become a 5th column. Everything Kerry says is not only G-ds Gospel truth, but pure as the wind swept snow. Whereas, anything said by anyone who happens to disagree, is a lie, not only a lie, but a provable lie as long as you use Kerrys notes, Kerrys photos, Kerrys movies, Kerrys witnesses, and Kerrys supporters explanations to refute them. There is not one example of objectivity to be seen in any mass market media outlet. Its like Joseph Goebbels was somehow cloned in secret and is running the so-called mainstream media.
The press was supposed to protect us from the government by shining a spotlight of truth on their shenanigans. Whos going to protect us from the press???
This entire Swift Boat episode reminds me of the stongarm tactics and press coverup in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Theres Congressman Jefferson Smith (John ONeil) eloquently speaking to the empty House chamber believing that, in time, the American people will come around to his side when the truth gets out. While all the time the Taylor machine (John Hurley) is making sure the press reports what Senator Paine (John Kerry) wants them to print and runs roughshod over the newsboys (veterans) who are trying to get the truth out.
Im a student of history and a fan of old movies. Some have compared John Kerry to Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now, but I believe that theres an even better example.
In the 1965 Otto Preminger movie In Harms Way starring John Wayne as Admiral Rock Torrey, Patrick ONeal played the opportunistic Congressman Neal Owynn who hoped to take his war record (as the PR rep for a grandstanding general who couldnt fight his way out of a paper bag) to the White House. John Kerry has combined Neal Owynn with Lt. (j.g.) Jeremiah Torrey, the son of Admiral Torrey, who, as a very young boy, was left behind with his mothers rich northeast liberal family after his father divorced his mother to escape the condescension of the in-laws. When Rock and Jere meet again, Lt. Torrey is a skipper on a PT boat. Admiral Torrey is impressed with Lt. Torreys volunteering for such a dangerous assignment, but Lt. Torrey responds to the effect that this assignment is only a resume enhancement to help him get on to the grandstanding generals staff. He even mentions that he is against Roosevelts War.
When I found out that the only reason John Kerry volunteered for Swift Boat duty was because he thought it would only consist of harbor patrol, I immediately pictured that movie scene from In Harms Way.
Theres a thousand and one things the press could be doing to help the American people make an informed and intelligent choice when they vote for President in November. Instead, theyre doing a million and one things to make sure that President is John Kerry.
Everyone in the press is now bemoaning the influence and nastiness of the 527 groups excuse me, the REPUBLICAN 527 groups (you see, 527 groups that support Kerry and tear down Bush are OK because they are telling the truth while those REPUBLICAN 527 groups are lying). Im now back to where I started when I began writing this down. Democrats truthful, REPUBLICANS liars, and the media is reporting it just that simply and just that blatant. It is so transparent and so obvious that Im afraid for the future of this country.
Im witnessing 1932 Germany, and I see all of the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the press with their arms outstretched toward John Kerry yelling Bush lied, men died. Soon well be seeing spray painted political slurs on the Republican National Committee storefronts in small towns all over America. Are we headed for a conservative Krystalnact?? Just look at how some Hollywood celebrities are running from the label REPUBLICAN like its some kind of dirty word. Were at the brink of book burning for G-ds sake!!
America is asleep and the press is singing soft lullabies and rocking the cradle, while, at the same time, opening the window and motioning for Brian David Mitchell and David Westerfield to come on in.
WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!
The libs, Democrats, radical left (all in cahoots with each other) are masters of propaganda. The red diaper doper babies were successful in the 60's of undermining our efforts in Vietnam and they are continuing on today.
I saw somewhere recently that the 527's on the Kerry side have around 30 ads in the can that they plan to release after the Republican convention. I foresee a total lack of interest in these ads from the mainstream media. Heck, people still believe to the core of their being that Bush went AWOL during his stint in the National Guard.
