Sep 6th, 2004 The Caged Hamster went rabid Disloyalty is a wonderful trait of the ordinary. -- Lucy ButlerJohn Kerry, in a response to the RNC, released 143 "Lies, Mischaracterizations, Distortions, And Half-Truths" sold in the convention. At attempt to fisk an entire four-day convention's speeches doesn't come easy, and the Kerry campaign fails in style by producing not one line of rebuttal towards the quotes that they lifted.In trademark, childish fashion reminiscent of his midnight rally, John Kerry shows exactly how his campaign rebuts "lies, mischaracterizations, distortions, and half-truths:" 106. Miller: “…Against the Trident missile, against, against, against. This...

Bush skipped out on his National Guard duty. He also snorted coke, and was a drunk. I don’t care. He is defeating fascist Islam, and that’s all that matters. CBS is running a story showing that Bush missed some of his National Guard duty. Let me cut to the chase and spare you the spin. Let’s say that Bush skipped all of his National Guard duty, that he never even put on the uniform once. Hell, let’s say he torched his draft card and moved to Canada from 1968-1974. It doesn’t matter at all. Bush is not running on his...

Pardon, the vanity, but for those of us in the Long Island/NY area who are on the right-of-center and are familiar with the pinko-rag known as "Newsday", you will know what I mean... More baseless rantings from Newsday columnists... Political ranting is fine. Most of us interested in the political realm are us little people who go blogging and do a lot of ranting on our little political soapboxes in the 'blogosphere'. But professional columnists really need to do a little more research - especially when they are writing for major newspapers - like Long Island's leftwing, environmental rag 'Newsday'. Blind...

Reuters reports that Kerry called the War in Iraq "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time" today, and insisted that Bush's middle initial, W, stands for "wrong." However, the Congressional Record shows that on March 20 2003, Kerry voted for S.95 which is titled "Commending the President and the Armed Forces of the United States of America" which "commends and supports the efforts and leadership of the President, as Commander in Chief, in the conflict against Iraq." The "W is for Wrong" namecalling is childish. Bush could easily respond, based on Kerry's S.95 vote, "I know...

KERRY'S NEW LOW BY JOHN PODHORETZ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Email Archives Print Reprint September 9, 2004 -- YESTERDAY John Kerry an nounced somberly that the nation had reached a "tragic milestone." He was referring to the thousandth American death in the Iraq war. But he might well have been referring to the tragic milestone his own career reached when he ascended the podium yesterday in Cincinnati and, I believe, consigned his presidential hopes to the ash-heap of history. For what Kerry did yesterday, in his most unambiguously anti-war speech yet, was to make an unintentional mockery of himself and his party. He...

If you ask me John Kerry's attempt to divert from the Vietnam fiasco by focusing on the issue of healthcare is like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. How can he possibly address the issues of healthcare and health insurance when he has a millionaire trial lawyer on the ticket? His very own veep is a catalyst of the entire healthcare crisis. I type lawsuits for a living. Believe me folks, the number of frivolous lawsuits out there would cripple your mind. Insurance companies, doctors, and individuals in need of insurance or healthcare are being raped...

I am John Kerry. I was against the first Iraq war, I am against the second Iraq war, but I voted for it. Now I'm against it but I was for it. I support the UN. I'm against terrorism and against the Iraq war. But I voted for the Iraq war. So, I voted against the first war and supported the second war, wait... I'm against gay marriage but for gay unions. I support gays but think the San Francisco mayor is wrong. I support gay marriages. No, wait, gay unions. I'm Catholic. Wait, I'm Jewish. My dad was Jewish,...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Contrary to popular myth the Earth is not warming significantly, according to new research published last month in Geophysical Research Letters by scientists with the universities of Rochester and Virginia. 1. The reports note two important findings that run counter to the view that human activity is causing catastrophic global warming. "It's been known for some time that satellites and surface thermometers give different temperature trends," said one of the reports' co-authors Prof. S. Fred Singer, president of the Science & Environmental Policy Project (SEPP). "We now have independent confirmation that the satellite results...

1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service by Scott Ott (2004-09-09) -- CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush's Air National Guard commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States.The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were raised about the authenticity of typewritten memos from the same officer, shown yesterday by Mr. Rather on 60 Minutes.According to the previously unseen email message sent in May 1972 by squadron commander Jerry...

Alert reader Cliff Thier sends in his two cents on the forged documents:No typos? Nothing crossed out and retyped? No evidence of typing over or of White Out?

I'm new here (thanks H.H.!) This is just an incredible source for REAL breaking news!! I know we have a ways to go but things are looking up. Just for an amusing diversion, there is COMPLETE panic and denial at DU. Stroll over there for a peak at a REAL meltdown.

After the documents were released by CBS, the Bush administration distributed them to reporters without comment. Why would they do such a thing? Why would they further disseminate documents to the Washington press corps that are critical of President Bush, especially when the documents are readily available on the internet? The answer is simple: The White House's internal analysis revealed that the documents were forgeries. They wanted the word to get out, but a claim of forgery would make them look like crybabies and conspiracy theorists. Instead, they simply distributed the memos without comment, knowing that someone would realize they...

Fox web site is now linking to the AP article that includes the account of the documents expert stating the docs are forgeries.

My two cents. .... I think the person responsible for this incredibly botched forgery must possess several qualities: (1) remarkable deviousness, (2) breathtaking amorality, (3) an intellectual facility for generating possibilities rather than probabilities, and (4) a lack of solid experience with typewriters and word processors by which to verify the possibilities generated by his imagination. Do these documents, therefore, demonstrate that James Carville can type? Let's now get to the heart of the matter. The story here is not Bush's TANG service. The story is not these documents. The story is not even forged memos. The story is ONE...

When I was a small boy, I fought just about every major battle of World War II in the woods behind my house. Many times, I caught my black lab, Prince, doing advanced reconnaissance work for the axis. I attacked secret nazi submarine bases constructed on a brook that ran alongside my home, threw grenades at enemies hidden behind an old picnic table, and made heroic last stands until dinnertime enabled me to declare victory and bring the boys back home. I was good at making things up. Just like the "journalists" at CBS News.......

(CBS/AP) Vice President Dick Cheney sought Thursday to "clean up" a controversy he ignited this week, saying he does not believe that electing John Kerry president would mean the nation would be hit by another terrorist attack.
