Have at him!

[mnehring]

for rather it is not about the truth; it is about creating a reality through repitition.

Hello everyone!

[COEXERJ145]

See-BS Radio News was pushing this crap at the top of the hour. They said it will show that Bush was a poor pilot who skipped drills, avoided duty, and was dropped as a pilot for failing to meet his obligations.

[Howlin]

Oh, I'm "wid" ya now!

[Howlin]

Yes, all the people who could contradict these people are DEAD.

[gramho12]

I sent some money to the Swiftees today, too. I also sent an e-mail (just gets it off my chest, won't do any good)asking CBS some questions:Would they be bringing up that Bennie B is a Vice Chair for Kerry campaign; would they question him about his shady past; would they be interviewing any of the Swift boat veterans, and would they be requesting Kerry's military records.

I'm not holding my breath.

"I just sent another donation to the Swiftees. At least they know how to hit back hard. "

I got an email from the Swifties asking me to match my last donation. I'm retired, but opened up my billfold, and after the moths came flying out, reached in and took out one of my credit cards and dashed off another donation to them. It's all in the memory of my brother Bill, who served with Co. C, 4th Btn, 23rd Infantry (Mech.), 25th Infantry Division, Vietnam 1966-67. I'm fighting this bastard for him.

They said it will show that Bush was a poor pilot who skipped drills, avoided duty, and was dropped as a pilot for failing to meet his obligations.

Well, every word of that is a lie!

[Howlin]

Gosh, now that I read that, I sure hope that's what they report......it will show what a pack of liars they are.

[CT]

Send SEE-BS a letter at their website. Tell em how little their lies mean. How this is actually working against them.

Actually, don't tell them to stop. We want them to fall off the earth!

[DoughtyOne]

Outrage at actions bordering on treason, all's fair and game with charges that at worst would show Bush tried to stay out of Vietnam. This is what the left thinks is 'fair and balanced'.

Hell, 99% of the young men my age tried to leverage for best advantage with regard to Vietnam. If Bush Sr. got him in to this national guard, and I don't think he did, it wouldn't be a crime.

It is interesting to know that many of the U.S. prisoners of war in the North were pilots. I tend to doubt any national guard pilots served in Vietnam, but you never know where you might wind up should hostilities break out.

One thing that the Dems never mention is that it takes a fair amount of smarts to pilot jet aircraft. It's probably not that smart to keep mentioning that Bush was a fighter jet pilot, but then nobody accused the left of having a clue did they.

[mathluv]

not going to watch, but will monitor, via this thread.

Brit's show today was excellent. Baring the lies of the day: Boston Globe, Kerry lies in his speech, Kitty Kelley AND Ben Barnes.

On Barnes they played the clip of him saying back when that "When I was Lt. Governor..." and then off they went exposing him as a liar.

Segment ended with Brit noting that Sixty Minutes has yet to cover the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth.

(same for the Today Show which is hosting the inelegant and skanky in the extreme Kitty Kelley next week for not one, not two, but three days)

[Howlin]

Did you see the clip of Lloyd Benson's son saying it's a lie that this guy helped him, which is what Barnes claims; gosh, I hope he says that on the show!

[Mike Darancette]

So did Barnes break the law by influence peddling? How many counts?

[bray]

GW has been the Commander in Chief for 4 years, end of discussion! When is CBS going to do the Swifties....oh yeah, wrong Party.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[terilyn]

The credit card had to come out for me as well. I thought it was well worth it just like you did.

Thank you for your service.

God Bless these brave men for standing their ground and not backing down.

I emailed CBS as well asking them similar questions.

Now I'm off to email my Dem Mom, (Bush is going to wreck Social Security), and my Dem sister, (Bush scares me, he's going to start a war), with the FACTS about this maggot.

[mattdono]

There ya' go.

[Barlowmaker]

I going to continue my perfect record of not watching CBS for that last several years, and let you give me an assessment.

Agassi-Federer takes precedence in this home.

[Carolinamom]

Didn't Barnes once testify UNDER OATH that he did NOT help GWB get into the Guards?
