Remember Wade Sanders? He was one of the "band of brothers"--Swift Boat veterans who supported John Kerry's presidential campaign and appeared onstage at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Sanders was one of Kerry's nastiest surrogates. In August 2004, he likened the president to a "trapped animal." In September, he compared Karl Rove and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth chief John O'Neill to Josef Goebbels. He repeatedly referred to the president and his men as "chicken hawks," an especially nasty term because it is slang for a child molester as well as a derisive term for a nonveteran who favors a strong defense.
Sanders, who also served as a deputy assistant Navy secretary during the Clinton administration, continued his anti-Bush campaign even after Kerry's defeat. In a December 2004 op-ed for the San Diego Union-Tribune, he lectured the president on "the heavy responsibility of command":
Sir, with all due respect, you would be well advised to acquaint yourself with the level of responsibility and accountability that accompany the title. If you really want to fill those shoes, if you want to parade about in uniform, if you want to use our men and women in uniform as your personal props, then please honor moral and ethical standards that go with the job.
Sanders is back in the news. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that he "pleaded guilty yesterday to a federal charge of possessing child pornography".
Sanders acknowledged in court that he had "possessed computer files containing 600 images of minors, including a 21-minute video that depicted girls engaging in sex acts with an adult man."
Sanders, a lawyer, said he didn't realize federal child pornography laws barred downloading or viewing the material even by researchers. He said that is why he decided to plead guilty.

I just found this opinion piece written by the perv.
Note the title is COMPLETELY accurate about Mr. Sanders.
“Wade R. Sanders: An American Disgrace”

Here’s a nice Christmas present.
You and Tim proven right again....I’m not surprised...both of you are “Men of Honour”....yes, the English spelling was intentional as it’s historical meaning surely predates our country’s founding.
I will be forever thankful for what you guys did during that election!
Thanks... and Merry Christmas.
IMHO, to associate this phrase with anything else is to dishonor the accomplishments of those Airborne heroes who fought in WW II.
I admit I am prejudiced in this matter, but anyone who has studied the history of the Airborne, Major Winters or experienced the camaraderie of being ‘Airborne’ understands why I feel as I do.
Nothing I have done comes close to the heroic deeds of my “brothers’ who served in WW II, and I am in constant awe of their bravery.
At this time of year, as we celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus, let us not forget the sacrifice of those mortal men who gave the ultimate sacrifice to their country, and to the world, so that we might be free to enjoy all that we have.
God bless all of my “band of brothers” who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
And may God bless all of those who are serving at this very moment, protecting all of us, willing to give their very lives for all Americans, even those who do not appreciate or understand the gift given them.
Thanks for the ping!
It is only fitting that his coterie would include the disgusting likes of Wade Into The Manure Pit.
Today's traitor party simply removes the labels so its candidate is not immediately identified as DoperIslamoCommieKenyan.
bump! bump! bump!

Total skunk all the way, no doubt about it.

Just doing research and now he's guilty of child porn?
This swift-boating must stop. When will it end? How many lives will be ruined?
Ole Wade is being sentenced today...has anybody heard what the judge has said to this Democrat pervert? I’ll bet his heart beat is up a tick or two since he smart mouthed me about my Vietnam service a few years ago...
Anybody heard what the judge gave ole Wade? I went to the San Diego paper and did a search and got nada, nilch..and the judge was a Clinton appointee... I guess all we have to do is fill in the blanks!
