What is the DU?

[LiberalGunNut]

And once you tell me what the DU is, why not dispute me on the facts?

[hellbender]

Correct. As for John Kerry, he expected to be stationed in a fleet vessel offshore from the combat zone, and was shocked when he was transferred to Swiftboat duty. He then carried out a program of using exaggerated "wounds" to obtain an early discharge, went home, and engaged in treason.

As for George W. Bush, learning to fly a notorious tricky and dangerous jet fighter is hardly the duty one would choose if one wanted to get through the war safely and easily. Bush had no guarantee he would not be sent into combat, anyway. That would better describe what Al Gore did as a "reporter" in Viet Nam.

Wow. A real live troll. Neato.

Kirsten Powers is a former clinton worker. Everything she says is scripted by the clinton machine. FOX made a huge mistake by hiring her, and compounded it by not running a banner reading "Clinton Spokeswoman" under her every time they show her.

[MEGoody]

She did not call him a faggot.

LOL Okay, if you must believe that, go for it.

[BlackElk]

Ann helps the conservative cause very much although she discomforts the tea, crumpets and exaggerated civility set of "conservatives" who find losing comfortable and do not care what is said so long as the sayer is puckering up near professionally offended liberal patoot. "CS's turn to curtsy, CS's turn to bow" is NOT a conservative slogan.

Ann refuses to be a wussocrat and that offends the wussocrats and their "conservative" sympathizers who regard manners as being more important than eliminating wussocrats. We are not "wet" Brit Tories with crocheted hankies up our sleeves. Nor should we ever aspire to be.

[Alberta's Child]

The underlying premise of the modern conservative movement is that the entire Democratic party consists of a bunch of fags and dykes who are both too effeminate and too masculine to properly lead the nation. Coulter says it out loud. Dowd hints at it broadly.

LOL ping.

[absolootezer0]

no its not.. this is

[LowOiL]

Same old, same old...right wingers are hypocrites. Yawn.

Christians today are Nicer than Jesus/God...

Very interesting read for those that would pretend Jesus was a girly man at best.

[BlackElk]

Jane Wyman (Wife #1 of Ronaldus Maximus) was interviewed in 1976 or 1980 as to what she thought of him running for president. Their divorce (many years earlier in the late 1940s)) had been a legendarily nasty one. Nonetheless, Jane Wyman told the inquiring leftist reporter: "Our country would be very fortunate to have Ronnie as president." She went on to praise him effusively.

[sinclair]

"decent (though largely inconsequential) conservatives"

I will never allow immoral liberal swine to define decency for me.

[ansel12]

Correct, and even more pointedly, George W. applied for a transfer to Vietnam for air combat duty.

[hosepipe]

Ann Coulter used the word faggot at CPAC..
to call out all the RINOs that showed up.. BRILLIANT!...
They dutifully lifted their heads like the actors they are..

They exposed themselves.. CHECK MATE..
Shes a genius..

[freespirited]

Was this written by Mandy's husband?

Mandy Grunwald? She's married to Matt Cooper, the TIME magazine reporter.

[Cyclopean Squid]

She is classless and frankly since this happened the only thing she has exposed is the ugliness of the pure conservative faction. This board is becoming embarrassing.

[Dick Vomer]

Glenn's a faggot

[NeoCaveman]

The underlying premise of the modern conservative movement is that the entire Democratic party consists of a bunch of fags and dykes who are both too effeminate and too masculine to properly lead the nation.

And just today NARAL hag Kate Michaelman said that John Edwards was the Wimmen's candidate.

Could Ann be more on?

[LowOiL]

So a guy who join the reserves during peace time and was a lifeguard is more courageous than a guy who was on a Swift boat on the Me Kong River in the middle of the Vietnam war?

John Dean and Bob Altemeyer have both documented this dynamic as clearly and convincingly as can be.

Whoa, wish I waa man enough to "document the dynamic".

Demorats, Baaaaaaah!
