Why doesn't the media just drop this old lie. I thought Presiedent Bush or his staff presented facts that absolutely refuted this false charge.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

W put in all his required time in the Texas Air Guard.
He's not Eisenhower, but he's ten times better than the alternative from the last election.

Figures they prefer a draft dodging killer of rangers and babies.

The toon did that pretty well.

[jody_b]

I agree with that, but is there an official reply from President Bush's staff that once and for puts this lie to bed?

Do you have a link to an official reply from President Bush's staff on this matter?

[Reagan Man]

Just for the record, Linda McQuaig is a rabid anti-Bush zealot.

While there were only 49 media stories about Bush's military past during his presidential campaign....

This is because the story is a total fabrication and libel is serious. Clintons draft dodging ways were true yet the people did not care.

[Republic]

It would be so great to see Linda, this obvious snobby Bush hater who wrote this garbage, don a flight suit and fly a JET PLANE herself, as President Bush did in the reserves.

Geeeeez.

And no mention here of billy clinton's cry baby letters after receiving draft notices to his draft board....saying how he loathed the military?

This author does not recognize courage vs cowardice. She only wants to make the point that Bush is a war monger at heart.

She is pathetic.

[jody_b]

Are you sure that's her? Looks like a Halloween mask to me used to frighten the kids.

Silly woman.

Good point but I've read to much of her garbage already.

[Larry Lucido]

What did Dubya do in the war, daddy?

He was Commander-in-Chief, put the best men in command, and gave the troops what they needed to achieve victory. And he won. Next stupid question, please.

[ewing]

This should have come with a 'gag or 'hurl' alert!

[Paul Atreides]

Notice how many feminazi skanks come to the defense of Bubba. It's amazing how two little words, "pro-choice", can put blinders on people.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I'm currently reading Bush's "A Charge to Keep". Nowhere does it mention him going AWOL. In fact, I was impressed with his apparent flight experience, and his acknowledgement that he never had to face the stresses of combat flying. I would like to know the facts about this. I tend to believe Bush's version. The fact that there were so few stories about this, in a liberally biased press, makes me pretty confident the story has no real truth to it, or is being distorted by omitting facts that would cast it in the proper light.

SKANK!

[Welsh Rabbit]

Whoa! What a news flash! Is there anyone out there who is not aware that Bush did not go to Vietnam? I think not. (the sarcasm is meant for McQuaig, not you)

All rise for the required hate the liberal:

Linda McQuaig and the Cult of Evasion

Re: Michael's Interview with Linda McQuaig (Re: Her book -- Cult of Impotence) -- Mar. 22, 1998 -- CBC's This Morning

Dear Mr. Enright,

Your interview with Linda McQuaig convinced me that her new book, "Cult of Impotence," is not worth reading.

Consider just one example -- her suggestion that government should become less impotent with respect to unemployment.

Ms. McQuaig regards John Maynard Keynes as a genius for proposing that government spend its way to full employment. But where does the government get its money? It extorts it from taxpayers.

According to Keynes' "logic," a bankrobber reduces unemployment because he diverts our savings towards consumption. If you followed the bankrobber around while he spends his loot you would no doubt see an increase in economic activity and employment.

If you evade the fact that the money spent by the bankrobber is no longer available for the banks to finance those who actually create goods and services, plus the fact that certain individuals have been robbed of their personal savings -- you might conclude that robbing banks is "good for society." In other words, if you press your nose really hard to the tree in order to blank out the forest, you might believe that governments actually create jobs.

Ms. McQuaig had the effrontery to suggest that corporations are responsible for high unemployment because high unemployment allegedly benefits corporations. A corporation doesn't have the power to create widespread unemployment -- only the government has that power. She completely evaded the obvious role our not-so-impotent government has played in keeping unemployment high. It did so by artificially raising the cost of employment -- via the minimum wage, massive red tape, unemployment insurance, punitive taxation, etc.

In essence, Ms. McQuaig wants a government that is less impotent in job creation -- which in reality involves forcing people and corporations to become more impotent. Her book, entitled "The Cult of Impotence," appears to be just another example of what I call: "The cult of evasion."

Sincerely,

Glenn Woiceshyn

President Bush served his time in the Texas Air National Guard and has an Honerable Discharge. He nearly universally is loved and respected by our men and women in uniform.

Clinton dodged the draft, lied about it, "loathed" the military, and was nearly universally loathed in return by our men and women in uniform.

'Nuff said.

I didn't choose "news flash", I selected "news". If it came to you as a news flash, then the software must have a glitch in it. Sorry about that.
