(Fox News) Carl Cameron Confronts Kerry Campaign on Cambodia

Fox News ^ | 9 Aug 2004 | Carl Cameron

[mcg1969]

Hugh Hewitt just finished playing an entire story from Fox News wherein Carl Cameron confronted the Kerry campaign regarding his Cambodia claims.

Intially, they denied that Kerry had ever said he was in Cambodia. So Carl presented them with the Senate Record and the Boston Globe article where he most unambiguously did so. They said they would have to get back to him on this one, but sticks to their story that he was near Cambodia, but not actually in Cambodia.

THIS STORY HAS LEGS!

I can't figure out the delay on the HH show here in San Diego, I think we're getting the first hour now at 5PM Pacific Time.

Here in Philly there was a delay in our local talk radio

We got stuck listening to an interview with Bill Clinton .. barf

"...he was near Cambodia, but not actually in Cambodia."

I'm a million bucks shy of being a millionaire but, hey, I'm almost there, right?! (sarcasm!)

[Mo1]

Did he fish Rasmann out of the drink UNDER enemy fire, or ALMOST under fire?

From what I understand the only fire came from the vets when the mine went off .. because at first they didn't know what blew up and that it was a mine ..

If I'm wrong .. someone will correct me :0)

That Daddy long legs is not a spider. But please don't post a photograph of a spider, as they are repuslive.

Daddy-long-legs
Phalangium opilio

Most people think these creatures are spiders, but they aren't. If you look closely, you will see that spiders have two body parts, while daddy-long-legs have only one. When they walk, daddy-long-legs use their second pair of legs to feel their way, just like some insects use their antennae. There are numerous species of daddy-long-legs. These animals cannot bite.

Even better that Carl's report, IMO, was the revisiting of the Swift Boats issue by the Fox "All Stars" at the end of Hume's "Special Report" - last week the story was dismissed by all on the panel except Fred Barnes, who thought it should be investigated further. Charles Krauthammer, in fact, thought the whole thing was "stupid". Tonight. with Hume actually in the lead, all including Barnes, Mara Liasson, and Juan Williams ended up agreeing that the Swiftboats charges should be answered by the Kerry campaign, and that it deserved as much air time as the Bush service record...this story is off and running......

My all time favorite movie.....but I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Colby.

Hugh Hewitt just read your reply on his yack show. Hewitt: Travis, you nailed it!

Hi Hugh!

Hugh - two other points about the "new" AP memo: in it Kerry mentions there are more than one mission (missions plural) and said "everybody" was there (meaning other swifties, all of whom deny it, including his own crew).

ATTENTION HUGH:

I spoke with General Issimo Duane (or whomever) earlier but I couldn't stay on the line so I pointed him to the video on C-SPAN. I told him about this finding HERE! - Kerry caught LYING again, on Thursday, telling the "diverse" media he "met with the Security Council of the United Nations in the week before the vote on Iraq in the Senate" - since when is the Jr. Senator from Mass. so authorized to negotiate with other nations in UNSC behind our back ??? Normally that's the domain of Secretary of State or US Ambassador.

As for caller who just asked who got hurt:

1) The image of the US

2) The millions of people in Asia who suffered from his influence on our policy

3) The good people of Nicaragua who were desperately seeking liberation from the Butcher of Managua whom John Kerry was stooging for based on his faulty recollections of experiences "seared into his soul" that were made of whole cloth.

[Steven W.]

4) Fellow vets who were stained or implicated by Kerry's portrayal of US troops acting like Ghengis Kahn.

[au eagle]

Are the American people stupid enough to put him there? Are the American people stupid enough to believe that Uncle Sugar in Washington DC can solve all their problems via the Democrat version of socialism for the United States?

Yes. I am amazed everyday when I hear someone tell me they plan to vote for Kerry. And these are people I considered resonable people.

[Mo1]

HAHA ... he's talking about your post

[EllaMinnow]

I think spiders are repulsive, too, that's why I posted a Daddy-long-legs.

[OXENinFLA]

Thanks HUGH, for reading my caption.....................Just fulfilling my capacity as a member of the VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!

If you like that pic.................Let your mind wander on this one!

[Mo1]

Speaking of c-span .. we need to check other speeches Kerry gave on the senate floor

Heck .. I didn't plan on sleeping tonight *L*

THAT is gonna put the nail in Kerry's coffin

One might think, but I'm skeptical. Although we see this as a pattern of deception, I think the majority of people will forgive Kerry for lying about Cambodia 30 years ago. Perhaps if more damaging information comes out about his war record, it might change some minds, but I even doubt that.

People didn't hold it against Clinton that he wrote that he "loathed the military" or that even though he claimed that, as a youth, he saw black churches burning in AK, none burned.

Or that Hillary said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though she was born BEFORE he became famous.

Heck, people didn't even seem to mind much that Clinton lied through his teeth before a federal judge.

For those of us who frequent FR, it's easy to be lulled into a belief that most of the folks out there will draw the same conclusions as we do when they find out what we know. But, unfortunately, that's just not the case. A lot of people really don't give a hoot.

I'm jaded.
