Perhaps it took a few days for them to set up Burkett?
It was an attempt to paint Bush as someone who can't be trusted .. an attempt to paint him as a liar .. an attempt to paint him as careless and doesn't know how to follow orders
Remember the polls? .. only 34% Trust Kerry
It's kind of hard to vote for a man you don't trust
Don't forget the mentality of these people- they are not old Trumanlike Democrats- these jokers have more in common with Mao. They have infiltrated, consumed, purged and destroyed what was once the Democrat party. It is ideologically indistinguishable from the CPUSA.
So why are they trying so hard to pin the *crime* of not getting a physical on Bush? So they can get away with implying a host of other myths they have fabricated are "facts."
As an example, what did the Vietnamese have to gain from forcing a POW to write a confession? Big deal, a bomber pilot bombs stuff- so he admits he bombs stuff and apologizes in a fake confession. Whoopee, we think. But they wanted a confession to a 'crime.' A small thing, everyone with sense knew the confessions were meaningless and insincere. But to a communist propagandist it was worth physically destroying human beings. and judging by the results, they got a lot of bang for their propaganda buck...
These confessions were then used to persuade young minds full of mush here in the US that their side was 'evil,' was 'criminal,' that they were guilty if they didn't act in protest. People, including Kerry, joined in the propaganda festival with their lies and helped further the cause by persuading more young people to join them in pressuring for a North Vietnamese political solution to end the war. These emotionally muddled hormone bags attacked their own countrymen, undermined the war effort, and ultimately forced the US to abandon huge numbers of people to the communists, who then promptly went about destroying them or sending them fleeing.
If you want to understand these nutjobs' thinking, read "Five Years to Freedom," and what those individuals were put through just for stupid things to make their side seem "legitimate." When the communists couldn't persude one man to realize the 'error of his ways,' and all their efforts to "reeducate" him failed, they took him to Hanoi and executed him. His name was Rocky Versace. The man who wrote the book dedicated to Rocky and who was also a captive and eventually escaped and returned to the US, ended up being killed in the Philippines by similar communists in the 1980s...
Look at all the people murdered by communist dictators- communists make their actions seem "legitimate" - to them they ARE legitimate- by creating false criminal histories of their enemies to "justify" purges or outright elimination. [Think of Hillary's Travel Office scandal, for example. It wasn't enough to just fire people and replace them with cronies. She had to destroy them by accusing them of crimes. She wanted the appearance of legitimacy.]
These are the same kind of folks who through an article in a west coast paper were remarkably successful in convincing people ALL witnesses to Iraqi and collaborator artocities in Kuwait were liars, just by impugning ONE witness. ONE witness out of more than 200. They claimed a Kuwaiti nurse was lying about what the invaders did with infants in incubators because she happened to be the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US or some such thing. They claimed she was a liar because they talked to a doctor who said it didn't happen.
Problem is, the "doctor" who dissed the story had fled Kuwait after the Iraqis were driven out. That's strange given that it would be a time when doctors would be needed the most in Kuwait- the aftermath of a war. Why wouldn't he stay and help? Well, he was a palestinian. Dirty little secret is that many palestinians became ready-made collaborators against the Kuwaitis. Was he one of those? Perhaps. The reporters didn't seem interested in asking any revealing questions of him in their haste to destroy the Kuwaiti witness.
Maybe she had lied, maybe she had not. But they didn't prove them all to be liars and indeed, they couldn't because out of 200 people most of them were if not all were right. There was sufficient evidence of people with drilled kneecaps and so on seen by our troops- my brother saw it as did others. But one sullied and defamed witness was all the ammo the left needed to sully them all, and thus even the whole war in the minds of many. Only now are we finding out the extent of what had gone on there- but only if we look hard to find the news amid all the pap the old media puts out.
The west coast paper and its loyal readers didn't have to prove all witnesses were liars... they only had to give the majority of the people the impression that one of them was a liar. And this they did quite well. They instilled doubt and they can exploit it.
It all seems so unimportant, that they are looking for little straws. But we have to fight them as if each straw they try to burden us with is the one which could, if unchallenged, be the one that breaks the camel's back.
Thank you. How very scary. So, they prove(xxx show) he disobeyed orders, disrespected the military, used preferential treatment and use it as a springboard to turn other entry level military against the CIC.
Still can't see their eventual planned attack. But, what worries me is the fact of the rumors of attempts to take Bush down by impeachment should he win the election. Maybe this is a prelude to that (laying the foundation).
Well - whatever, Dan Rather paid with his career for it. Even if he remains on the air, he is a laughingstock. What a way to end all those years of hard work.
There's another thread on Moore and the post lists some jaw-dropping connections. Glad to have you aboard, MOgirl. Here's the link:
