Thank you for your service.
Rush is going to have O'Neill on. Yay!
I lived during the time where I saw the returning Vietnam vets, honorable men, brave decorated men get spit on, slandered, accused of all manner of crap. Nothing can forgive those vermin and all their ilk for what they did. I just hope and pray they receive tenfold the humiliation and contempt they dished out.
I believe it is an American attribute, even a basic human attribute that we don't take kindly to those who cannot (or should not have to) defend themselves being treated shamefully and abused horribly.
While I did not serve, I felt most deeply the insult that was heaped upon our military personnel for honorable service in an honorable endeavor. We should have won that damn war and easily would have were it not for the socialist scum media and their syncophants in this country telling nothing but lies about the war in Vietnam.
I believe that posterity will remember it as such
Perfect let's see the left wing dump on these guys
Wow.
You're right. I don't know if McCain did this deliberately (and kudos to him if he did), but his "complaints" about the first ad gave it far more coverage than it would have otherwise received.
I thought it was called adrenaline addiction. My brother had it. It made me insane when we worked together. I believe that prepartion off the field is the key to winning on the field. He liked to do just the opposite.
In any event, WE'RE DOOMED (from the Fed Ex commercial)
This is a thing of beauty. Bravo to these men for standing up for themselves.
I agree absolutely with that. Kerry himself has said recently that he finds his own Senate testimony in 1971 to be "over the top" and that he is uncomfortable hearing it. I hope he hears it again and again and again...
Swiftvets - "Oh, it's already been brung!"
I lived in Phoenix for about 14 years, so I know a little bit about having McCain represent me. I assume the az in your screen name menas you're in Arizona.
Rush is having Michelle Malkin on at 1 Eastern today. John O'Neill will be on on Monday at 1 Eastern.
Not a problem. I totally understand why you chose that pic. It perfectly illustrates his gestures.
I could only listen to it -- and that was enough. This is a masterful ad -- JF'nK's own voice, and the real (torture!!) effects it had on these guys. If NOTHING else, these guys have just made JF'nK's "war record" talk a club to use against him.
I think this may well cement the in the public's mind the impression that John Kerry is in fact a shameless hypocrite.
It may or may not be a fraud but, in either case, it is riddled with inaccuracies.
It shows kerry as having been on PCF-66 for his entire time there. He wasn't. It doesn't list him as being on PCF-44 or PCF-94. He was.
Whether these are deliberate errors or innocent ones doesn't matter -- the site is a totally unreliable source of information.
Rasmussen is supposed to start polling on this specifically to find out people's opinions of sKerry's Vietnam Service and their opinion of the Swiftvets. Stay tuned, this stuff is going to start showing up big time in the polling next week. I can't wait to see how the Sunday Screaming Face Shows handle this. They have some critical editorial decisions to make. How much in the tank for Kerry they are will be shown this week. They know it. There is no more wiggle room.
It rocks!!! The ad is powerful whether you read it or view it. The POWs are what make it work. You can't call them all liars since they lived through the torture and whatnot and thanks to Kerry and his ilk, the reception of an ungrateful nation that spat on them and dishonored their sacrifices. Its time to set the record straight.
Kerry's already made his statement on this:
Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] expressed pride in his 1970s antiwar activism yesterday as controversy continued to swirl over a TV ad accusing him of betraying his fellow veterans when he protested the Vietnam war.
``I stood up against the war in the 1970s,'' Kerry said. ``Some people still don't like that, and they're still trying to fight that. That's 35 years old. But I'm proud of what I did to stand up. And I learned a lot.''
