Major Bump!

[RLK]

Whatever happened to conscience and shame in the national political scene?

[goodnesswins]

Someone better tell Alan Colmes.....he was touting McDermott as a Vietnam Vet the other night on the program....

[Landru]

These two Liberal-Socialists didn't "mislead" anyone.
They LIED!

That's not so hard to say, is it??

...you Urinalists in the Lamestream Media.

[finnman69]

Bump!

McDermett and Bonoir are not Vietnam Vets

They are CALIFORNIA Vets

(no disrespect to vets intended, but hese are obviously NOT comabt vets as they imply)

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Just like my dad and George W Bush served during Vietnam didn'thave to go over because they were flying/working on aircraft that didn't get sent over, Baghdad Jim and Baghdad Bonior also served.

The difference is the President and my Dad don't have to hide their political beliefs behind service during Vietnam to cover their idiotic naive asses.

You serve where you serve when your told. Nothing more.

But for Baghdad Jim to infer that he served in Vietnam like some hardcore boonie rat when the closest he ever came to combat was listening to vets recount their nightmares is beyond the pale.

I always thought he was incountry doing his work and now it turns out he was stationed CONUS the whole time.

What loser.

[Fred Mertz]

I think they can technically be called Vietnam-era veterans, which is a far cry from a Vietnam vet.

[Blue Screen of Death]

I heard on a local talk show yesterday that Bonoir was an Air Force cook. Frying bacon is not without danger and his heroism should be respected.

[nutmeg]

McDermott and Bonior are traitors BUMP!

[LisaFab]

Good catch. Thanks.

That a politician, and a democrat politician at that, would lie is hardly surprising. They are 'lovers and makers of lies'.

But I would expect their lies to be less blatant, less easily checked. I would expect something that could plausibly be framed as a 'he said - she said' argument. I would expect something a little muddier, something with a maddeningly subjective aspect to it...

That they would lie so wantonly, so shamelessly, about something as easily and objectively verified as this is frankly chilling.

[Reagan Man]

By their own remarks, Jim McDermott and David Bonior have shown themselves to be totally irrelevent on the issue of Saddam Hussein and the threat from his leadership in Iraq. Questioning the veracity of President Bush, while on Iraqi soil, is an outrage that borders on treasonous behavior. It is nothing less, then giving aid and comfort to the enemy. At the very least, McDemott and Bonier should have to face ethics charges through debate of the full House membership.

[YaYa123]

Would someone in Washington, please call Bonior and McDermott's office and ask point blank if they served in Viet Nam?

They specifically said in their interview on Sunday, and in the press conference today, that both served in Viet Nam. They didn't say they served in the military during the Viet Nam years, they said they served IN Viet Nam.

We need to verify the truth. If it's true that one or both did not serve in Viet Nam, but we have to be certain of our facts...then we need to alert every media outlet.

[vetvetdoug]

Whoa, take it easy on these caring individuals. I served during Viet Nam in the USAF and was attacked by a) a homosexual man in a bar b)a sand shark c)a bosuns' mate at a Navy club who kicked my butt royally, d)a marine at the NCBC in Gulfport, Ms e)a pelican that had a fishhook caught in his/her mouth (I couldn't discern the sex and did not give a damn either) f) a military patrol dog named "Hitler" g)a porpoise at the Gulfarium in Gulfport while I was trying to help treat its skin disease h)and numerous many other little warm and cold blooded animals, including an aligator. I was in combat every day with some furry little creature. I was a Viet Nam Era veteran.....nothing more, nothing less.

Seriously, at night we would have DC-9 Nightengales fly into Keesler and we would unload the combat veterans that were wounded in Viet Nam and were being sent to the military hospital closest to their homes. These guys had been treated at other hospitals until they were stable enough to get to a hospital close where loved ones could be with them more often. These were the veterans, the ones that deserved respect and honor for their sacrifices. There is no way my duty in CONUS could be considered equal to what they had gone through and accomplished.

[caisson71]

More dirty, rotten, maggot ridden, liberal, lying, stupid, traitorous, SOB's using VietNam vets as their doormat. Of course, we can't expect the press to print the truth, only DemocDATic press releases.
