The Mudville Gazette is pleased to announce the First Annual John Kerry Fan Fiction Contest. Entries may be submitted in comments, via e-mail (greyhawk - at - mudvillegazette.com) or as entries on your own blog - I'll link from here. Have at it. Have fun. Speaking of fun, in reality, back during Christmas '68 I was almost seven, and mom and dad gave me my first shotgun. To this day it's seared in my memory - crawling on my belly through the rice paddies in the Cambodian fever swamp, hunting the elusive Khmer deer...

I live in Iowa. My hardcore, pro-Bush brother-in-law went to the Iowa State Fair today. He said, "I never thought I'd see the day that Iowa turned FOR Bush. But everywhere at the Fair today there were people walking around carrying 'Bush' yard signs!"I pressed him further, and he said that all folks were talking about was the 'Kerry Vietnam thing' and the Cambodia story in particular and how mad they were. He was absolutely amazed.He also said that the Democrat's booth was like a 'dead zone' and the Republican booth was swarmed to the point that he couldn't even...

A repeat of ABC's June 30, 1971, "The Dick Cavett Show." This show featured a debate between John Kerry and John O'Neill on U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Both men served in the Navy and commanded swift boats in Vietnam. After returning from the war, John Kerry served as spokesman for an organization called "Vietnam Veterans Against the War." John O'Neill supported the U.S. policy toward Vietnam and in Southeast Asia.

Slow day for campaigning with Charley dominating the headlines today. Lack of wind prevented Kerry from windsurfing on the Columbia River, so we lost a great opportunity there.   Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry waves to a supporter as he walks the streets of Portland, Oregon on August 13, 2004. Kerry said on Friday President George W. Bush's handling of Iraq and the war on terror had contributed to Middle East instability and helped drive up oil prices for the U.S. consumer. Kerry, who will face Bush in the November 2 White House election, also pounced on a new report...

JOHN KERRY'S "MORE SENSITIVE WAR ON TERROR"WHY JOHN KERRY IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA: UNFIT #19 by Mia T, 8.13.04   (viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE) NEW! compleatjohnkerry.blogspot.com NEW! unfitforcommand.blogspot.comjohnkerryisdangerousforamerica.blogspot.com I believe I can fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side. John Kerry America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive. A sensitive war will not destroy the evil men who killed...

<p>You wanted campaign finance reform. You got campaign finance reform. McCain-Feingold promised to take the money out of politics.</p> <p>If you believed that, you deserve what you got.</p> <p>And what you got is an avalanche of money into politics this year as George Soros, Democratic big shots and, to a lesser extent, Republican money men (Republicans are slower on the uptake) get into the business of “independent” political expenditures.</p>

Why I Am Running for President * * * I am a child of the greatest generation of Americans and therefore a member of the most fortunate generation of Americans. Like my parents, I have always hoped and often assumed that my own children will have more opportunities in life than I had and will live in a country and in a world where such opportunities are more widely shared and more deeply rooted than at any time in the past. I am running for president in no small part to redeem that promise for the America to come. While...

========================================================= To: Newsmedia Organizations i.e. the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, CBS, NBC, CNN, FoxNews, ABC, etc. ========================================================= In February of this year (2004), film-maker Michael Moore, soone echoed by Terrence McAuliffe, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and other prominent Democrats, charged that President George W. Bush went Absent With-Out Leave (AWOL) while serving with the Texas Air National Guard thirty years ago. The largest news organizations in the country, from print media organizations such as the New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, to television broadcast media organizations such...

John Kerry has undergone so many contortions to avoid admitting he lied when he told the Senate in 1986 that President Nixon had illegally ordered him to enter Cambodia. (The Dem slogan seems to be: If in doubt, blame Nixon). For John Kerry to have successfully maintained his Cambodian fiction his lie would have had to be difficult or impossible to refute. The Cambodian lie revealed that Kerry really is not that bright. To state that Nixon ordered him into Cambodia when in fact the then-president was L. B. Johnson was an incredibly stupid thing to do. If nothing else...

Kerry's Cambodia account challenged by ex-commander By Scott Canon Knight Ridder Newspapers KANSAS CITY, Mo. — John Kerry's repeated claim that he spent Christmas Eve of 1968 upriver in Cambodia — against official United States policy — has drawn harsh criticism from anti-Kerry veterans. Roy Hoffmann, a retired admiral who was a Navy captain in command of Kerry's unit at the time, said the candidate's Cambodia statements can't be true. "I think he just outright lied," said Hoffman, a founder of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. "He never was there." Over the years, Kerry has referred to spending Christmas...

John Kerry has our respect and gratitude for the things he did to defend this nation. Unfortunately, he seems to have embellished. The truth needs to be known. While he should get credit for the service he actually performed (about which he has not lied), he deserve criticism for what he did afterward. Men were tortured while the torturers used John Kerry's words against them. Kerry had phonies testifying before Congress. Kerry is in a place of honor in the commie war museum in Vietnam. They are grateful for his help in their great communist victory. ...DFU ============================================ PHONY VET...

ST. PAUL - Scott O'Grady, the Air Force pilot who captured headlines in 1995 when he survived being shot down over Bosnia, on Friday said Sen. John Kerry committed "treason" during the Vietnam War. O'Grady, in an appearance with other military veterans coordinated by President Bush's re-election campaign, said Kerry helped push North Vietnam's proposals for the United States to withdraw at a time when the two countries were still officially at war. "I see that as treason," said O'Grady, who lives in Texas and has been speaking at veterans events for Bush around the country. He's now retired from...

War stories Neal Boortz August 13, 2004 The mask is off. Further denials are useless. After the events of the past seven days the ingrained leftist, pro-Democratic Party bias of the nation’s mainstream media has been fully exposed. All it took was for a certain Vietnam veteran to write a book daring to question the war hero status of Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry. Media lips are now drawn into a permanent snarl; the knives are out and the scent of blood is in the air. Circle the wagons and may the effort to protect the Democratic candidate proceed. To...

Anyone else noticing how the American media is running a campaign against President Bush? We expect that from Reuters and the Associated Press, of course. But it seems to be happening with 95% of the media today. For instance, AP writes things like "Bush Works to Blunt Critics With CIA Pick" instead of 'Bush supports CIA Pick.' Or, "Bush mocks Kerry" but never that 'Kerry mocks Bush,' which happens almost all day every day. The liberals in the media will call publications like "Unfit for Command," anti-Kerry, yet never label any of the rabidly liberal organization (like moveon.org) ads anti-Bush....

Kerry/Rassmann swift boat stories collide In a major gaffe, Camp Kerry was caught today with colliding stories concerning Kerry’s Vietnam heroics. [see FreeRepublic thread] In a much touted tale, Kerry is credited with saving the life of Green Beret veteran Jim Rassmann while they were on a 5-boat patrol during the Vietnam War. The group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth vehemently denies Kerry’s story and has supplied proof that Kerry lied about the circumstances behind his pulling Rassmann out of the river. In an Aug. 10, 2004, editorial published in the Wall Street Journal, Green Beret veteran Jim Rassmann...

Yesterday we reported that the Barnes & Noble website carried an altered cover of the hot new anti-Kerry book, Unfit For Command (Regnery, 2004 -- a Human Events sister company). The title had been changed from Unfit For Command to Fit for Command. Likewise, the Kerry photo on the jacket was been changed to feature a pro-Kerry war photo worthy of a John Wayne movie. (Barnes & Noble has since fixed the error. No explanation has been given.) Now it appears pro-Kerry gremlins have invaded Amazon.com, too. Amazon, thought by many to be the top (and unbiased?) online purveyor of...

Why Kerry's sketchy 4 months in Vietnam matter: Because Kerry isn't just any Vietanam Vet. Kerry is the guy that slandered good, brave men. Kerry said Nam was a bad war-- a war without heroes. He threw his medals away because he said they were meaningless-- again, he said that no American in Vietnam had done anything that deserved a medal. He said it was a dirty, illegal, immoral war. Now Kerry is running on those medals. He says the medals make him a hero. He bugged out after four months, but he insists that he was the leader of...
