Just as an aside, a lot of these Bush-bashing books are headed directly for the remaindered bin. I often go to Daedalus Books, a large book warehouse that stocks remainders. They're filled with anti-Bush tracts by the likes of David Corn et al.
And those books aren't moving out the door there any faster than they are at Borders.
you know, you make an EXCELLENT POINT!!!!!
WHY IS THE PRESS SO MAD? THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE UNBIASED
The press's anger is VERY simple, they're full of Socialists, and everyone is NEARLY CERTAIN that one or more of the US Supremes will be retiring in the next presidency.
If Bush is in, all those 5 - 4 liberal splits suddenly go the other way and the liberal National Socialist agenda that they've been pursuing for almost 40 years stops. However, if Kerry gets in, the 5 - 4 becomes at least 6 - 3 and it's the end of the Republic as we know it.!
THAT my friends is the real reason for the over the top insanity in this election cycle. This election TRULY defines America, or Amerika for the coming generations.
The insane lunatic National Socialists know this.

---Where it gets really weird is to watch the same people who were deriding Kerry just a year ago, now are willing to "go to the mattesses" for him. ---
It's really hard for them too. They secretly detest Kerry especially since they have to talk about Vietnam, medals, and military stuff all the time. Bubba never made them do that. :^)
BUMP FOR THE SUPPORT OF SWIFT VETS HERE... http://www.swiftvets.com/
I am very impressed with this Varifrank website. I'd like to know more about this author.
and that
"By working to elect John Kerry, they can return to the world where Vietnam was wrong........"
You may have a point to some degree. But I think the real explanation is perhaps even simpler. It is "Bush Hatred" pure and simple. Before kerry was even in the media spotlight there was Bush hatred - it was first picked up by Howard Dean and the other crazies on the far left (including algore) and aided and abetted by Michael Moore. Kerry "voted for the war" before he latched onto the theme that was first tapped into by Dean.
The Bush hatred is composed of equal parts of Florida angst, anti-Christian bias, anti-Southern bias, and evil calling good evil. It's deep, it's irrational, it blinds them and it's their only issue. When you listen to a response to any attack on any RAT politician or issue, you hear "well that doesn't matter and Bush....".
I'll go way out on a limb here and say that Jesus was treated in much the same way as Bush is now, and probably for many of the same reasons.
I think what is really going on is that first there was Bush Hatred, and then there was Dean, and then there was kerry.
Once kerry came along, he brought Vietnam into it as he apparently has done with EVERY election he has ever participated in. And that brought in the SwiftVets and now we have the current debate.
But in my opinion, first there was "Bush Hatred".
Just my $.02.
Thanks, glad not to have missed that, and to know about this varifrank for future enlightenment.
"But Kerry? He's been a cypher for years."
I would ask, 'But WHY Kerry?'
Surely they could have come up with a bullet-proof, more viable candidate from their stables. Did the media actually believe it could to bury the past and pull the wool over the people's heads again as it did with Clinton?
I think the media has blinded itself to the speed and power of the internet and talk-radio and other alternate media. A serious mistake -- one I'm sure they will correct after November 3rd when they will be forced to face their folly and re-assess their self-appointed status as the only guardians and disseminators of 'truth to the masses.'

"It's for the redemption from their sins and the return of a moral order that they can understand, more importanly a moral order on which they sit at the top."
. . .
"By working to elect John Kerry, they do not have to confront their bigotry against their very own country and its countrymen."
Keen insight. Self-redemption means no penance. No penance, no change of heart. I expect they will retreat and re-group after their reality crumbles on 11/3. But like any good presstitute, they will get off their backs, put on new lip-stick, powder their faces and ply their trade us usual after they recover from their self-abuse -- but will no doubt walk the streets with their eyes a little lower to the ground for a while, feeling a little less confident about their appeal, as an aging prostitute might.
If the lamestream has to face how they fought so well for the other side in Viet Nam, their entire platform of moral superiority over the majority of Americans will collapse and they sense it. They have kept up a big lie about the Viet Nam War for over 30 years and it is great danger of being exposed as a lie.
Hey Cannoneer:
You have a good arguement buried in this post.
The whole idea that sKerry is running on this record is absolutely astonishing, but since we are in a new kind of war, it makes more sense that the party that has fought the military industrial oomplex with every fiber of their being are now touting themselfs as Tough on Terror.
It is a topic that definately needs claification.
Good writing good effect. You need to sharpen it and condense it, but I think you have a winner here.
PING - GUT theory of Vietnam - you write it? Great essay!
