You are so right!!!The Demo's and Media do precisely as he says.....Early Alzheimer beginning to show...John, get some help!!!
Despicable.
Benefactors steered him into buying a few shares of Holiday Inn stock before it skyrocketed in the 1960s.
Two words for Glenn. "Keating five". He should make like the old tv show and get "Lost In Space". He is without a doubt one of the most obnoxious partisan dems ever.As such I noticed he isn't a "truth teller". Nothing sadder than playing your "hero" card over and over again for the wrong reasons.
Of course they do. Remember the lack of gravitas drumbeat we got from the media about President Bush.
Now, how long have they been repeating, "Bush lied about the War in Iraq."
How about since Howard Dean started it back before the Democratic primaries. Almost a year. I wonder if that's connected to the Hitler syndrome.
Wow-- must have been quite a few shares. In the 60's Holiday Inn was little more than rising competition for the then declining Howard Johnson's and the franchised Best Western. Couldn't have sold for too much-- it was a pretty "low rent" outfit as I recall.
"Absolutely no evidence...absolutely no evidence..."
Once my hero, bow a tragic, elitist evil Player.
We should demand Kerry to apoligize for this outburst from john SpaceDimensia Glenn.
This is great. First the dem web site with 144 statements that all look fine with no backup as to how they believe they are lies - now this. When dems get desperate they start chunkin' hail mary's.
From The Keating Five to being bribed for 1 last shuttle ride if he didn't vote for impeachment. Glenn is a traitor like Kerry!
GOT THE TITLE FROM THE GOP WEBSITE.
Instead of responding factually to the charges, Kerry and his defenders have:
-- personally attacked the Swiftees and reportedly hired private investigators to look for dirt on them;
-- mischaracterized Swiftee John O'Neill as a Nixon dirty trickster;
-- reiterated their lies about President Bush's Air National Guard service;
-- filed complaints with the FEC to muzzle the Swiftees;
-- pressured media outlets not to run the Swiftees' ads;
-- whined about coordination between the Swiftees and the Bush campaign because attorney Ben Ginsberg advised both;
-- gloated when Ginsberg resigned from representing the Bush campaign, saying it proved there had been coordination all along, though Ginsberg denies any coordination;
-- refused to insist that their similarly situated lawyers or operatives Robert Bauer, Jim Jordan, Joe Sandler and Zack Exley -- sever their ties as well;
-- theatrically dispatched former Senator Max Cleland to the Bush ranch with a letter imploring the president to urge the Swiftees, over whom the president genuinely has no control, to cease and desist.
-- called other veterans to pressure them into supporting Kerry;
-- invoked the only sacred Republican name among Democrats, John McCain. (Bob Dole lost similar status this week when nobly standing up for the Swiftees.)
-- suppressed John Kerry's shameful, America-trashing book "The New Soldier," refusing to allow it to be reprinted;
-- said, dishonestly, that the Swiftees keep changing their stories;
-- repeatedly changed Kerry's story on Christmas in Cambodia. The reasons it was "seared, seared" in Kerry's memory were that it was during Christmas time (people associate events with the sentimentality of Christmas) and President Richard Nixon had supposedly ordered Kerry into Cambodia illegally -- which outraged Kerry. Turns out Nixon wasn't in office yet. How can people brush this off as inconsequential? This lie really mattered at the time, and, obviously still does today in terms of the negativity it generated against America;
-- dramatically backtracked on the first Purple Heart account, being forced to all but admit that Kerry wasn't injured by enemy fire -- which means, if nothing else, that he wasn't entitled to that Purple Heart nor his early out after four months;
-- watched as their enabling mainstream media -- the Democrats' most powerful and unregulated "527" group -- have systematically tried to discredit the Swiftees' claims by masquerading as objective, investigative journalists. In fact, they've combed records to catch the Swiftees in supposed inconsistencies and painted a fantastic picture trying to connect absurdly remote dots tying the Swiftees to President Bush. All the while they've ignored the mountains of factual evidence against Kerry and even mindlessly repeated the dismissive conclusion that almost all of Kerry's stories have held up to scrutiny. Never has the liberal bias of the partisan media been so conspicuous. On August 25, the twin print media goliaths: the New York Times and The Washington Post, sang a propaganda duet dismissing the Swiftees' claims: WP: "Many of the charges have been rebutted by veterans who served with Kerry and by military records." NYT: the Swift Boat group, almost all of whose challenges to Mr. Kerry and his war record have been contradicted by official war records and even some of its members' own past statements." Makes you wonder whether these two media outlets are recipients or authors of Democratic talking points.
-- peddled the lie that the Swiftees "weren't there" because most weren't on Kerry's boat, ignoring that they were in adjacent boats within witnessing distance;
-- avoided Kerry media appearances -- he doesn't want to have to answer even the obligatory questions the partisan media might lob at him. And you can be sure there'll be no second or third Kerry-O'Neill debates -- no thrilla in Manila. Even Don King couldn't get Kerry to step back into the ring for a rematch with O'Neill, who knocked Kerry cold in the first fight;
-- with the media's help, held up Kerry's "heroism" as sacrosanct and unchallengeable while simultaneously disrespecting the heroism of Kerry's some 254 accusers;
-- with the media's help, held up official Navy records as sacrosanct and unchallengeable, ignoring the compelling Swiftee claim that Kerry manufactured false records;
-- refused to release Kerry's complete military and medical records and diary;
-- complained about the campaign's focus on Kerry's long-ago record, when they brought it up in the first place.
As a distant relative of John Glenn, our family use to very proud of him, in fact my little brother who was born during the year of his space flight was named after him. I am proud no more, he has turned into a rat. In fact next time I see my little brother I may just punch him. just kidding.....I may ask him to change his name to George W Glenn, though.
Well .. as usual Glenn didn't get it right .. it was Communism who used the "repeat it often enough and people will believe it" statement, not the Nazis.
SHAME ON YOU COL GLENN. How dare you call President Bush a Nazi after what you did to America in supporting Clinton.
