He has been accepting them in the same manner for MONTHS. You are way off the point. -- sigh --
You go girl.
But let's give credit where credit;s due, too.
At least this "Red Star" quisling responded to you, eh?
...& the Liberal-Socialist mediots *never* do that.
Good.
Is this editor so biased that it will not recognize the lies that Kerry made at the Fullbright hearing on Nam?
If so his advertisers should find another place to advertise.
The problem is his career has been built on the lies that Kerry/Fonda stared decades ago. If he and the other mediots admit that Kerry lied decades ago, then they admit that they are not professional journalists for not investigating the original lies.
We've got to quit having this conversation in public. What will people think? LOL!

Open Letter from VietNam POW USMC/USAF Col. George "Bud"

"I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and am aware that the testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical left; all caused the Commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win."... "His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies..fabrications..perjury..fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists."
Dear Joe Scarborough: About John Kerry for President and the Swiftboat vets
The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been, what John Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam.
Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam. His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies..fabrications..perjury..fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists.
Kerry's stories were outright fabrications, and were intended for political gain with the radical left..McGovern, Teddy and Bobby Kennedy followers, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden and the radical left who fantasized that George McGovern was going to be elected in 1972. Little wonder that returning soldiers from Vietnam were spit upon and castigated as "baby killers". A returned hero just said so.
Kerry cut a dashing figure as a war hero, lots of medals, and returned home because of multiple war wounds..even a silver star. His senate testimony confirmed what every hippie had been chanting on the streets.."Hey hey LBJ..How many kids did you kill today"? Kerry obviously was really running for political office, without announcing it...in 1971.
Until John O'Neill, himself a Swiftboat Commander, spoke out before the 1972 election against Kerry's outright deceptions, there was no one from the Swiftboat scene that could contradict Kerry' self serving lies.
I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and am aware that the testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical left; all caused the Commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win.
North Vietnamese General Bui Tin commented that every day the Communist leadership listened to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the anti-war movement. Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark gave them confidence to hold in the face of battlefield reverses. The guts of it was that propaganda from the anti-war group was part of the Commie combat strategy.
While the Commies were hanging on, innumerable U.S. soldiers, sailors, marines and air force members were being killed in combat. Every battle wound to Americans after Kerry's misdirected testimony is related to Kerry's untruthfulness. John Kerry contributed to every one of these deaths with his lies about U.S. atrocities in Vietnam. He likewise defamed the U.S. to our allies and our supporters.
His conduct also extended the imprisonment of the Vietnamese POWs, of which I was one. I am certain of at least one POW death after his testimony, which might have been prevented with an earlier release of the POWs some 2 years after his 1971 testimony.
My friend and roommate Senator John S. McCain denounced the Swiftboat video by John O'Neill. I have a different opinion than my good friend John McCain. The Swiftboat tape is highly relevant evidence that replies directly to John Kerry's ongoing series of misrepresentation, and those tapes and the cable news shows are the only major contradictions to Kerry's postulating as a war hero.
The print press..Washington Post, NY Times, etc are avoiding the Swiftboat story because they want a democratic president.
John Kerry opened up his character as a war hero reporting for duty (Dem Convention), with a hand salute..and his band of brothers.. of which he was the chief hero. Most of his convention speech was about John Kerry..Vietnam war hero, and his band of brothers, John Kerry's character is not only fair game, it is the primary issue. His response to Swiftboats is like Bill Clinton's "is", as an answer to his lack of character.
The issue is trust. Can anyone trust John Kerry?? "Never lie, cheat, or steal" is the West Point motto. Should we elect another proven liar to lead us in wartime???
I draw a direct comparison to General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary War, to Lieutenant John Kerry. Both went off to war, fought, and then turned against their country. General Arnold crossed over to the British for money and position. John Kerry crossed over to the Vietnamese with his assistance to the anti-war movement and his direct liaison with the Vietnamese diplomats in Paris. His reward. Political gain. Senator. United States.
His record as a senator for twenty years has been pitiful. Conjure up, if you will, one major bill that he has sponsored.
John Kerry for President? Ridiculous. Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Outrageous.

LOL!!
Newspapers receive many if not most of their press releases and other submissions via E-mail. Many of these are bulk e-mail lists, but not spam since they go to a carefully targeted group of editors and reporters.
Our paper gets press releases, stories and photos via e-mail on a daily basis.
Mr. Boyd can certainly ask her to stop sending in submissions, but she has a perfect right complain about it as well.
Tonk, what a wonderful situation FR has provided.
This SwiftVet mission, movement and priority ... would never have endured without JimRobs inspired place and the way YOU, CHAD, INTERESTING TIMES and others kept this issue on the front burner.
I remember you guys getting some "This is a bad idea" mojo pressure at the time. But Tonk, I'll never forget the way you stood up to your critics and said "You want pressure? Try being known as the "Human Tripod" among the supermodel set. Try telling a passion crazy Belly Girl you're really more of whatever she sees after her fouth shot of Absynth. I told you it's easy!" Game, set, match!
I'm really jazzed about FR right now. This SwiftVet movement is how Free Republic was conceived to work. Old Media lardasses and liars .... "GTFOH"* Useful Information Overload, Media Snoopers, Honest and Precisely Presented Veterans, Community bonding and financial contribution. Moving the story forward on our own, being a resource of fact and breadth and humor .... just like the "Marry Me Andy Gibb" aging bipolar teenybopper site that nobody - paging VICTORIA PRINCIPAL - has the gumption to close down.
Tonk ... I've told JR this and I believe it. Your efforts, Chad's efforts, IT's efforts, Belly Girl's efforts, all the MILFs and Kournakova/Coulters we've endured here... shhhh ... just may have changed World History. If Kerry wins ... America dies. Kerry was winning. Now he's like the Wicked Witch, whom he is married to. Melting. Melting. Freepers said no f'n way. The momentum was bitchslapped. I'm convinced of that. Kerry won't win now.
Without Free Repubic, there'd be no SwiftVet success, no exposure, no public introduction and no John Kerry gutlessly retreating like the Agarn led "Wild Eagle's Presents 'Almost an Indian Warrior'" improv troupe at the first sign of real gunfire.
Free Republic is an awesome force when correctly utilized. There's nothing like this place on the internet. This place, as evidenced by the Swiftee impact, is a force multiplying powerhouse that can change our world, and our future.
There is no more "elite media". At this point, Jim's 1997 dream is realized. He's beat the unbeatable old media liars - and he somehow ditched yapping 'One Who Knows'. Two for two!
*GTFO = "Be sure to have Jenny at the front desk stamp your parking stub before you Get the **** Out!"
You get more viewers of your work on FR than on that rag newspaper!
I'm just someone who loves America.
MANY do much more than me.
I am fortunate that I am in a position that allows me
to work at home, on the internet.
Thus I have time to FReep at the same time.
I do what I can do to defeat Kerry for some very personal reasons.
Thanks for the kind words, Barlowmaker. I havn't done all that much. Many many others have done more than me. However, like Tonk, for me this is personal...
YOu go, girl!!!
Keep up the good fight! I didn't spend all those years defending the Constitution just so that a few socialists could profit from it. IT IS FOR EVERYONE! You most of all.
Dave's apparently not here. YOU suggested the paper might have been being even handed. I have no such illusions. Constitutional freedom of the press remains, but in case you haven't noticed the established press which unquestionably drives the opinions of MILLIONS of reasonanable , honest , busy voters, has become a cartel of like-minded syncophants, repeating Pravda like certain "truths". If, as any enlightened person could reasonably presume. there are indeed several sides to any political argument, show me the MAJOR newspapers which seem to support, in their "news" articles any opinion other than that defined by the NY,LA Times and the DC post.

Do the search on GOP + Elephant, there are pages and pages...
Chad, ponder what kind of men engage in the propaganda meeting the Kerry mob had to have called:
"Okay, we first need to lie and slander the Swiftees before our lie about your record gets traction against our lies about Bush's AWOL thing."
Consider yourself in good company - Ann Coulter was censored too!
You should write an open letter to the editor and let the readers respond to your being permanently censored. Also send to National Newspapers.
