Junior Dems going after FreeRepublic and Swift Boat Veterans

They call the watchers of Fox, knuckle dragging morons.

They call Rush listeners mind numbed zombies who do what rush tells them.

Now they find FR? They are about ten years too late.

FR is more important than the media.

This one's for all the media and DU trolls:

Kerry attacked Vietnam Vets in 1971 and he is doing the same thing in 2004. HE is the only credible Vietnam Vet out of thousands, HE is the only Vietnam Vet allowed to speak and HE is the only hero that ever left Vietnam alive. He caused horrible hurt and division in our country then and he will do the same thing now.

So what they are saying is that odd ball Kerry is more credible than all the veterans that served with him? Buwahahahah

[silverleaf]

If you watch the actual video of Kerry testifying before Congress in April 1971 (in ironed fatigues, coiffed helmet hairdo and medals), he is obviously simpering vainly as various Senators comment on his medals-
I believe Kerry's admiring "sponsor" was Senator Fulbright, who played up Kerry's "war hero" status to the hilt.

[Delphinium]

I am honored to have you on FR.

[muawiyah]

Ah, yes, the famous "VVAW assassination plot" that Kerry still hasn't accounted for adequately.

They were going to kill a bunch of Senators weren't they?!

[Piranha]

Stay strong, we're all with you.

You have friends and fans all over the country, if not the world.

"LUNATICS?....A few misguided souls took issue with my cavalier dismissal of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as "certifiable lunatics" yesterday. If you're one of them, I have two words for you: click here."

I have tow words for you also,FU.

[Antoninus]

Well done for making the news, sir! I salute you. The only people who will be rankled by this are the extreme victim class and their water-boys. Everyone else will either think it's funny or be willing to forgive a guy for a little high-spirited hyperbole.

If this is the best they can do, they'd be better off just ignoring the story altogether.

[jla]

Thanks Jerry...for what you and the honorable Swift Vets are doing.
I hope you all will be able to withstand the inevitable smear campaign from Kerry's goonsquad.

An older brother of mine told me when I was a kid, "you can never get in trouble for telling the truth".
