Kerry's Quagmire (another brilliant Steyn column)

The Spectator ^ | August 28 2004 | Mark Steyn

[Pitiricus]

I have no views on whether one or more of John Kerry’s bemedalled wounds from the Mekong Delta 35 years ago were self-inflicted — though the Kerry campaign, in its second big concession to his chastisers, now says his first Purple Heart-earning wound might have been ‘unintentionally self-inflicted’. But there’s no doubt every wound from the last 35 days is self-inflicted, beginning with the candidate’s disastrous decision at the Democratic Convention to play up Vietnam and play down Iraq, 9/11 and anything else that happened in the last 30 years. Since then Kerry’s shot himself in the foot so many times he ought to put in for a good dozen more Purple Hearts....

This one is Treason!

You just do not realize how sick jfk is until you read this.

VVAW worked with the NV to get US not to bomb NV troops during an attck by NV.

I got it in my email today from the Kerry campaign.

They really want to keep this issue alive.

Arggg. I love Steyns work but dont wish to provide the spectator with ANY personal info

[stylin_geek]

Try www.bugmenot.com

[ken5050]

Are you gonna post reports from midtown today?

[prion]

Try www.bugmenot.com

Rats! First time I've ever tried that, and none of the passwords worked.

[mylife]

bugmenot didnt work for me either

[stylin_geek]

Try this one:

username: i_will_not_register@yahoo.com

password: password

[prion]

That was the first one I tried. Maybe the Spectator has a gate to ensure two people don't log into the same account at the same time.

I'll try later.

[sirchtruth]

I going to find this out. It should be real easy with you guys directing me.

According to Schacte, on Kerry's first PH both Schacte and Hibbard denied Kerry's request for a PH...

Who authorized or granted Kerry's first PH and why?

[stockpirate]

I don't know the answer to this, I would suggest you try one of the posts concerning his medals in keywords.

My focus is the VVAW and FBI files.

[Lawgvr1955]

I was probably the one blocking prion using the bugmenot accout "i_will_not_register". I believe they have the gate as described.

Steyn is a genius. I wish I could write half as well as he does. If he speaks as well as he writes, he should have his own tv/radio show.

And get a load of this one.

From the Washington Post, another Kerry lie is revealed:

The Kerry campaign has refused to release Kerry's personal Vietnam archive, including his journals and letters, saying that the senator is contractually bound to grant Brinkley exclusive access to the material. But Brinkley said this week the papers are the property of the senator and in his full control.

check your security settings (cookies). bugmenot didn't work for me until I adjusted security..

[John Thornton]

The minute you start running ads demanding that voters ‘tell George W Bush to stop telling lies about what a weally weally big war hero I am’, you sound ridiculous. Especially when your opponent is a guy who’s never complained about anything – not the ‘Bush is Hitler’ stuff, not the ‘Bush knew about 9/11 in advance’ stuff, not even the comparatively mild Michael Moore slur that he’s a moron so paralysed without his minders that he continued reading My Pet Goat to Florida grade-schoolers for a full seven minutes on September 11. Kerry himself made sneering cracks about the pet goat business, and Bush didn’t whine about it.

[Condor51]

I just used bugmenot also. What #9 posted works.

[G Larry]

Outstanding write-up!

Hate "registering" for access, but had fun providing a bunch of phoney data.

[stockpirate]

My guess is Kerry is sinking fast and they know it, both the R's and the D's. Look for Hillery to take up the banner of pres.for the D's.....
