HILLARY: SWIFTBOATED!
March 26, 2008
Hillary is being "swiftboated"!
She claimed that she came under sniper fire when she visited in Bosnia in 1996, but was contradicted by videotape showing her sauntering off the plane and stopping on the tarmac to listen to a little girl read her a poem.
Similarly, John Kerry's claim to heroism in Vietnam was contradicted by 264 Swift Boat Veterans who served with him. His claim to having been on a secret mission to Cambodia for President Nixon on Christmas 1968 was contradicted not only by all of his commanders -- who said he would have been court-martialed if he had gone anywhere near Cambodia -- but also the simple fact that Nixon wasn't president on Christmas 1968.
In Hillary's defense, she probably deserves a Purple Heart about as much as Kerry did for his service in Vietnam.
Also, unlike Kerry, Hillary acknowledged her error, telling the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke." (What if she's sleep-deprived when she gets that call on the red phone at 3 a.m., imagines a Russian nuclear attack and responds with mutual assured destruction? Oops. "It proves I'm human.")
The reason no one claims Hillary is being "swiftboated" is that the definition of "swiftboating" is: "producing irrefutable evidence that a Democrat is lying." And for purposes of her race against matinee idol B. Hussein Obama, Hillary has become the media's honorary Republican.
In liberal-speak, only a Democrat can be swiftboated. Democrats are "swiftboated"; Republicans are "guilty." So as an honorary Republican, Hillary isn't being swiftboated; she's just lying.
Indeed, instead of attacking the people who produced a video of Hillary's uneventful landing in Bosnia, the mainstream media are the people who discovered that video.
I've always wondered how a Democrat would fare being treated like a Republican by the media. Now we know.
It's such fun watching liberals turn on the Clintons! The bitter infighting among Democrats is especially enjoyable after having to listen to Democrats hyperventilate for months about how delighted they were to have so many wonderful choices for president.
Now liberals just want to be rid of the Clintons -- which is as close to actual mainstream thinking as they've been in years. So the media suddenly notice when Hillary "misspeaks," while rushing to make absurd excuses for much greater outrages by her opponent.
Liberals are even using the Slick Willy defense when Obama is caught fraternizing with a racist loon. When Bill Clinton was exposed as a philandering, adulterous, pathological liar, his defenders said that everybody is a philandering, adulterous, pathological liar.
And now, when B. Hussein Obama is caught in a 20-year relationship with a raving racist, his defenders scream that everybody is a racist wack-job.
In the Obama speech on race that Chris Matthews deemed "worthy of Abraham Lincoln," B. Hussein Obama defended Wright's anti-American statements, saying:
"For the men and women of Rev. Wright's generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table."
So in the speech the media are telling us is on a par with the Gettysburg Address, B. Hussein Obama casually informed us that even blacks who seem to like white people actually hate our guts.
First of all: Watch out the next time you get your hair cut by a black barber over the age of 50.
Second, Rev. Wright's world wasn't segregated.
And third, what about Wright's wanton anti-Semitism? All the liberals (including essence-besplattered Chris Matthews) have accepted Obama's defense of Wright and want us to understand Wright's "legitimate" rage over his painful youth in segregated America.
But the anti-Semitic tone of Wright's sermons is as clear as his rage against the United States. Rev. Wright calls Israel a "dirty word" and a "racist country." He denounces Zionism and calls for divestment from Israel.

What a BABE! (Er uh Ann that is . . )
LMAO!
Well, These three are the best this nation can offer that are sufficiently power hungry to endure the ridiculous and over extended process of selection.
Not only was Wright's world not segregated, but he grew up in comfortable circumstances, on a tree-lined street in a prosperous section of town; and he attended an integrated (mostly white) elite high school.
OBAMA'S PASTOR RAISED IN PRIVILEGE, NOT POVERTY
Wonder if Ann is aware of this article? It's posted on Martin Peretz's blog (scroll down a bit on page at link).
PS: The Dems invented the term ‘swiftboating’ not only to cover Kerry’s sorry, splintered butt ... they also meant to push their word ‘Bork’ out of the media.
They don't want it, they're too smart and don't want the pay cut.
Also, they don't want the media up their ass 24/7.
After McVain’s speech today, I will not vote for any of them. They are all the same.
I just looked at the board of directors of one company (L3).
What an impressive bunch! PhDs, scientists, economists, MBAs, engineers, retired military officers........why can't these folks have a stab at leading our nation!
I have been troubled about that myself, for quite some time. Maybe because the president of any mid-sized company already makes more than the POTUS? And this corporate president may have to adrress shareholders, but he does not have to have press conferences with Helen Thomas.P>I just do not think the POTUS is a very good job any more, and we have not attracted top talent for a long time.
The really good talent is in decently-paid, low stress professions more highly respected than Politics.
Pumping septic tanks, for example.
He got the message from Chicago-
Awakening in horror to find the horse's head in his bed.
Um - Ann does not seem to be expressing unconditional support of She Who Cackles. And Ann seems not overly fascinated by Barack Mohammed (since we are no longer to refer to his given middle name) Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, either.
Ann does paint with a large brush. Perhaps that is because the targets are so, well, large. And make themselves so easy.
college days
Bill Cosby attended Philadelphia’s Central High School, but I don’t know whether he was a contemporary of J Wright. Do any Freepers know?
I think Cos would be about a decade older.
If you notice, this article - tho it points out Hillary's failings - emphasizes that the MSM is promoting Obama and Swiftboating Hillary.
Thanks, Pharmboy!
Oops...I gave you bad data. Cos was born in ‘37 and Wright was born in ‘41, but they never saw each other in the high school hallways anyway.
