GWBush made a very good speech for 9/11 surrounded by families.

Kerry will deliver the opposing response in an hour or so.

2004 minus 1776 equals 228, not 229.

Yes, but you have to add one after you do the subtraction! 1776 - 1776 = 0, but 1776 was the first year of America's independence. 1777 was the second, 1778 was the third, and so on.

Kerry quotes Scripture again. What's with all this newly found use of the Bible? Naah..... It couldn't be for political purposes.

CBS falls for Kerry campaign's fake memo

September 12, 2004

BY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Advertisement






-->

A few weeks ago, Thomas Oliphant of the Boston Globe was on PBS' ''Newshour'' explaining why the hundreds of swift boat veterans' allegations against John Kerry's conduct in Vietnam was unworthy of his attention. "The standard of clear and convincing evidence," he said, talking to Swiftvet John O'Neill as if he were a backward fourth-grader, ''is what keeps this story in the tabloids -- because it does not meet basic standards.''

Last week, we got a good idea of what Thomas Oliphant's ''basic standards'' are. Dan Rather and the elderly gentlemen at ''60 Minutes'' were all atwitter because they'd come into possession of some hitherto undiscovered memos relating to whether George W. Bush failed to show up for his physical in the War of 1812. The media had been flogging this dead horse all spring, but these newly ''discovered'' memos had jump-started the old nag just enough to get him on his knees long enough for the media to flog him all over again.

Unfortunately for CBS, Dan Rather's hairdresser sucks up so much of the budget that there was nothing left for any fact-checking, so the ''60 Minutes'' crew rushed on air with a damning National Guard memo conveniently called ''CYA'' that Bush's commanding officer had written to himself 32 years ago. ''This was too hot not to push,'' one producer told the American Spectator. Hundreds of living Swiftvets who've signed affidavits and are prepared to testify on camera -- that's way too cold to push; we'd want to fact-check that one thoroughly, till, say, midway through John Kerry's second term. But a handful of memos by one dead guy slipped to us by a Kerry campaign operative -- that meets ''basic standards'' and we gotta get it out there right away.

..."

Sad that Kerry camp is actually going to run an opposing response

Kerry: "I stand opposed to George W. Bush's memorial of the 9/11 event. I am for the terrorism that caused those planes to fly into the towers. We need fewer buildings like those in America, so endangered birds can have easier migratory flight paths. We need fewer buildings like those in America, so the sun can shine down on the impoverished. G.W. Bush is wrong: 9/11 was a great and wonderful time in American history..... and if you elect me president, I will make sure we have more days like it!"

KERRY laid flows at memorial at boston commons. A modest memorial and a quick "me too" photo op.

He had the same look and poise as when he went to the Reagan viewing...

James McGreevey on now.

They put up McGreevey as rebuttal to GW's memorial! NO WAY! A failed, criminal, soon to be ex-Governor. This is the height of cynicism. CANNOT be an accident.

He won't say it out aloud, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that it's pretty much what he actually thinks.

He wanted to be well scripted. Had to forge his sincerity. (bite lip etc.)

He's been on the phone a lot with Bill lately. Notice now he's carrying ever larger Bibles, seen at Churches, biting lower lip, etc. Getting a lot of "Faking Sincerity 101" coaching from the master.

Fox has very good coverage today. Krauthammer was very good. Excellent comments about changing the face of the world and how America has been RIGHT on international affairs far more than any other nations.

I have also notice fox personalities are being alert about cutting short democrat reps who avoid questions to go into SOP talking points.


EVERYBODY keep their eyes open because the MSM wants us to focus on the small issue of the forgeries rather than the BIG ISSUE of 9/11 in our future.

We will tell them that on September 11th, ordinary men and women became heroes at a moment’s notice – and so can you.

Please tell me this is a typo. They went to work, as they did every morning, were killed in cold blood by islamists and Kerry is telling us OUR GRANDCHILDREN CAN TOO? I'd like to cut him some slack, in that he meant that our grandchildren can become heroes in their own way...but good grief.

He's one in the same w/the Islamists. I'm so sick of them all I can't stand it.
