They have yet to pick apart the vets' claims point by point.

Rather suspicious, isn't it?

Somebody needs to investigate the quid pro quo that Kerry's crewmates may have received for presenting a flattering story.

Kerry is wishing he bought off a few officers now.

So...which side is going to crack first?

Why no media feeding frenzy? It could be the political bias of editors, but there is another angle: most senior editors are of Vietnam age.

Look at how the media gobbled up the GWB Nat'l Guard story, based on the accusation by Terry Mcauliffe.

Now, over 200 Swift Vets sign on to the fact that Kerry's Vietnam service is a fraud, and not a peep out of the mainstream media. If this doesn't show the media bias, I don't know what does.

Kerry's buttock wound happened earlier in the day when he threw a grenade into a rice cache and didn't get clear

I believe even Rassmann agrees that Kerry got hit in the butt by rice.

"John Kerry was in the Navy, his superiors recommended him for medals, he was honorably discharged. Let it go," John A. Brieden III, national commander of the American Legion, told UPI in summing up his organization's position on the issue. "George Bush was in the National Guard. He was honorably discharged. Let it go."

I do not believe that the American Legion, the DAV, AMVETS, and the VFW are non-partisan. I am a member of DAV and an ex-member of both the Legion and the VFW. They do some really good things.

I've detected a distinct lean toward the Dem Party at the upper echelons. Be careful with any of their pronouncements.

Actually, both are probably true. Schools of journalism were (and are) completely infested by leftwinger types. Any "journalists" that are "of Vietnam age" are likely to have anti-war protestor roots.

I do remember the protests!
I hated them!
I remember the drugs and sit-ins. The long nasty hair and shacking-up. I remember the ugliness of the college students dancing in the streets and hating any rules and shedding their clothes. They wanted to break-up this Country and almost did! They used music and almost ruined the patriotic heart of America!

The Vietnam Vets coming home were sneared at and marched against and made to feel not only, not appreciated.......they were accused of atrocities and spit at and treated with derision! College kids and those that had nothing else to do, did it!
Any person that did that, was scum as far as I was concerned!

HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!!!!??????????????

They didn't deserve to shine the shoes of these Vets coming back home!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY DON'T DESERVE IT NOW, EITHER!!!


DO NOT VOTE FOR ONE OF THESE SCUMS! KERRY IS ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE THESE SAME KINDS OF PEOPLE IN OUR GOV. NOW!!!

THEY ARE DEMS AND RINOS!!!!!!!

And yes.........I'm screaming. This is sickening to me!!!

Anyone that comes out against these TRAITORS are being drug through the mud.

Don't let that happen to these Swift Vets!
They are speaking the truth!

No wonder he has no clue about the anger of VN vets.
"Brieden is a United States Army veteran where he served as an Infantry Officer from 1972 – 1977. During his time in the Army he attended Ranger School, Airborne School, Jungle Warfare School and Artic Warfare School. He was selected to serve in the 1st Battalion, 75th Infantry when the U.S. Army was first going back to the concept of Ranger Battalions."

What I can't believe is the proposal of a second reason that editors are not ripping Mr. Kerry a new one, that the Vietnam war tore the country apart way back when and we don't want unearth those sentiments again blah blah ad nauseum. Or something to that effect. TOO BAD. My brother was KIA in SVN when I was 6 yrs old. He was drafted, they made him a medic, and he served. His Purple Heart and Bronze Star hang in a frame on my mom's mantel. I thought my dad was going to have apoplexy when Carter granted amnesty to the draft dodgers residing in Canada in the late 70's. I want the the truth from this guy. Not that I care myself, he's a pro-abort and therefore has no credibility in other matters. The American people deserve to know.

Traitor John could have easily resolved this WHOLE thing by simply releasing the comparable records that Bush released. The delay clearly proves he is hiding someting. Should they be released now, they would have been scrubbed or faked to fit Kerry's lies. The author of this article missed the records issue.

Does anyone have access to the articles (many posted here) from the past 5 or so years about the politicians who had long claimed to be Navy Seals and, when proven they had lied, resigned?

KERRY: APOLOGIZE AND RESIGN!!

It will become more and more difficult to ignore Unfit for Command once people start reading it. Even the MSM will crack and then it will become a big story too difficult to ignore once the ratings enter the equation.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS FROM SKERRY?

Now look, I'm all for shredding his public personna and running him out of town on a rail tarred and feathered never to be seen in public again.

But let's be realistic.

STRAIGHT answers out of SKERRY?

Commmmmonnnnn!

As in
Blood out of a turnip?
P*ss out of a mummy?
Beer out of Scuba Teddy?
Billdo out of an intern?
Patriotism out of Shrillery?

I mean some things are just incompatible with the physics of reality!

I believe in miracles. But some things--I doubt God would think were better than lost causes.

Straight answers out of SKERRY.

What a joke!
HO HO HO HO HO
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha ha . . .
