A fat guy in Miami wearing sackcloth, eating habanera peppers and doing pushups on sheet metal at noon in late August would sweat less than Kerry and his cronies, these days. It seems the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have caused the Democrats to perspire profusely.
What’s happened to Mr. Perfect? Could he have, uhhh, been less than accurate concerning his valiant Vietnam days? Did he just exaggerate – or did he lie? -- when he testified and speechified about those atrocious atrocities? Did he really believe that Ramsey Clark had it right on his return from Hanoi, when he said our POWs were being treated well by the North Vietnamese?
Kerry’s camp is losing its collective cool, and not without cause. In fact, they’re coming unhinged like a stuck door at Jackie Chan’s house. They are squealing louder than the wild boar I hit in the spine with a 100 grain Muzzy broad-head launched from my High Country bow while hunting in Texas.
Have you seen the liberal commentators on TV discussing this stuff with a Swift Boat Vet for Truth or someone who has actually read Unfit for Command and now has serious problems with Kerry’s war claims? They’re straight tripping. Watch them!
Try this: next time you see John O’Neill or one of the other Swifties or an objective, Kerry questioning guest being “interviewed” on one of those lopsided talk shows, turn the sound down on your TV and just observe the body language of the opposing forces.
The Bush haters are shifting, scratching, hemming, hawing and twitching like a 14 year old Amish boy whose mother has just fond his Playboy stash in the horse’s feed bag. If you sat through Psych 101 in your undergraduate days, you’ll know that they know they’re skating on thin and melting ice. Conversely, watching O’Neill and company sit in utter confidence, calmly answering -- when and if allowed -- with pause-free precision every question shot at them, communicates that these dudes are either telling the truth … or else they are Lecter-like in their psychosis.
Since the critics of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth cannot deal honorably with the heat created by Unfit for Command, since they cannot respond to the evidence the Swifties have piled on their candidate, and since they cannot give any substantive reason for Kerry’s egregious and slanderous lies in ’71 before the Senate and on TV, they revert to:
1. Constantly interrupting the Swifties or their supporters while they’re speaking, never allowing them to complete a thought, or …
2. They go Tourette Syndrome on them screaming uncontrollably, and if that doesn’t work…
3. They strategically roll their eyes, and if that doesn’t work…
4. They flail their arms angrily in the air like an enraged Nell, and if that doesn’t work…
5. They kick them off their talk show like Chris Matthews did Michelle Malkin on Hardball. Hey, Michelle, don’t take Chris’ oaf-like behavior personally. He’s got to be upset that the Fox Report, Seinfeld re-runs, and The Animal Planet keep pulling his remaining viewers, who by now must be mostly his relatives, away from his show. And the final tactic the desperate losing left reverts to is…
6. Hypocritically hollering for the Swifties’ to be stifled while their 527s continue to churn out their villainous venom for the anti-Bushites, and the heavily biased NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MTV and VH1 crowd.
In the end, if I were liberal, you wouldn’t catch me arduously defending Kerry. Yes, they are desperate to get their ideology back on top in Washington and out to the masses, where their ideas and programs will once again be proven disastrous, but I wouldn’t be looking to Kerry to be poster boy for my beliefs.
Remember, Senator Kerry is their plan B. Plan A was Howard Dean. He was el Salvador right up until his Exorcist, watch-my-head-spin, moment in Iowa and then their party collectively said, “Holy Schnikeys! We’ve got to get someone else!!!”
The problem was when they turned to look to another candidate, the choices were … pretty thin. It must have been like arriving at a party a little late where the only thing left to drink is a hot, half-empty can of Schlitz, the only thing left to eat is a half-chewed pickle, and the only girl left to hit on is Courtney Love who’s passed out in the fireplace.
Choosing among Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton and John Kerry had to be tough. Given the Swifties’ heavily footnoted allegations; given Kerry’s continued caginess in not directly, line-for-line, answering their contentions, coupled with his continued insult to hundreds of thousands of vets who honorably served in a scandalous war … is this the peg on which you want to hang your hat? Hey, this is a man whose photos are preserved in the Vietcong anti-American war museum!
Why can’t we seriously question Kerry? Could it be that a bipartisan group of more than 250 vets who served spitting distance from Kerry might be right? The only way for us to know is not as Max Cleland blustered, for Bush “to put up or shut up”, but for Kerry to face and respond to the accusations, clearly.
My ClashPoint is this: Why the trepidation, lefties, if you’re standing on such solid, holy ground in defending your would be supreme leader? Why are you seemingly coming apart at the seams? Truth is confident … secure … and okay when questioned. And so are those who side with truth. The nervousness, the overreaction by your liberal camp followers and the blind hypocrisy in wailing for the emasculation of free speech if it is contrary to your position, causes the moderate Democrat and the independent voter to think there may be something to what the Swifties are saying.
You see, “truth needs no defense”, as Charles Spurgeon said. “It is a lion that simply needs to be let out of its cage.” The Liberals’ continued knee jerking, sophomoric defense tactics scream that they’re busted and are trying to make the masses look the other way. Instead of denouncing these vets who have a right to air their opinion why not tell JFK, too, to report for duty, burnish his medals, brandish his reports, and have a fresh debate with John O’Neill, 33 years after he lost the first time around?
Does anyone have the pic of the two fighters with "Kerry's Definition of Serving Together" ???
"I am a Traitor". Yes - he certainly is !!
"Oh What A Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice To Deceive"
"The Madame Binh whom Kerry references and whose "Points" he recommends was not "a leader" of "a communist group in South Vietnam." Madame Nguyen Thi Binh was the Foreign Minister of the PRG, which was the political wing of the only communist movement in South Vietnam, whose military apparatus was called, by the U.S., the Viet Cong. In both its political and military manifestations, this group was merely another operational aspect of the North Vietnamese communist regime and army." http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/staticpages/index.php?page=20040401190152572
She was alarmed at some of the things I mentioned in regards to Kerry's questionable medals, and his actions upon returning from Vietnam.
By the end of the discussion she was going to go home and start researching. (Her biggest question was why wasn't she hearing it from the main stream media.)
Her eyes have been opened. I told her to think for herself, and study!
They (liberal,socialist DemoncRATS) would vote for a stick,as long as it had a D =(Democrat) after it! Heck they would vote for a rocking chair for president, as long as it had a D after it. They would vote for Senator skerry even if all the news media had bona fide video recording of him throwing newborn babies off the Empire State Building. He's their man (girlie man!). and he has a D (DemoncRAT) after his name, or before it, whatever.
Thanks for the ping!
Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Mt. Washington, KY who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus.
My parents live in Morehead and one of my sisters, who lives in West Liberty, is married to a transvestite.
My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Covington.
I have two brothers, one is currently serving a non-parole life sentence at Eddyville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.
I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Campton. She is a part time "working girl".
All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancée and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her.
Should I tell her about my cousin who is a Kerry supporter?
Signed, Worried About My Reputation
I do display two "Veterans against Hanoi John" bumper stickers - along with several American flags from way back after 9/11 (yea - I never took them off, and occationally replace when faded). I don't know how well a large window sticker would do on my Camaro.
Actually, all of what Kerry testified to was hearsay. He started his testimony by saying these were things he had been told.
There is a small SBVFT sticker 12" wide 6" tall. It would look good on Camaro!
That's one!
What appalls me is the thought that sKerry will win this state of Mass. It is his state, I know, but I've always been surprised when he's won.
When I went in our local bookstore to pick up Unfit For Command, the girl who checked me out had a few things to say. She said she had never been political until she started dating her boyfriend who was really into politics. She told me she had bought the book and was going to go home and start reading it. The word is getting out.
what do people see in o'reiley?
bttt
With the slant of the back window it wouldn't be all that visible.
those of us who are VETS will NEITHER forgive nor forget. NOBODY can silence us!
he is TOAST imVho.
free dixie,sw
it will be VERY visible to people in SUV's and trucks!!
Democrats drive those evil SUVs?
