No lies are needed. The truth is ugly enough. Even babies want to punch her in the face!

Re: Funding for Swift Boat Attacks Against Hillary Already Underway

Dick Morris is going to get wealthy doing this stuff, imagine how frightening the thought is to the big GOP donors, Hillary in the Whit House, and solid Democratic majorities in both Houses of Congress, especially armed with the powers that W has asserted the president enjoys...................

Alan Dershowitz for the Supreme Court, done in 60 seconds flat!
Universal Health Care, paid for by raising the top tax rate to 78%, DONE!
Cut the military in half, the Ayes have it!

What is your income? Under 35K is my bet. IOW - you are a bitter, middle aged, low income earner who is jealous of societies achievers. Pathetic.

Believe it or not, I understood the reference. I was simply making an attempt to be humorous.

You seem to have a liking for the destruction of the U.S. Clearly, you would be better off living in China or Cuba perhaps. Salute your flag, Goober, because you are a Commie to the nth degree.

Re: Funding for Swift Boat Attacks Against Hillary Already Underway

so let me get this straight....over a hundred veterans MANY of whom have served with kerry ( and the ones that did were out weighed 4-1 against him) they create an add that says; "Hey, we think he stinks”..thats now become an acronym for unfairly beating up of a candidate?

So I guess that any veteran good or bad, like Webb, should have nothing to say OR be beat up ( and I am still awaiting the media backlash against Webb's response to the State of the Union)..I mean its just his opinion…right?uh huh… Friggin hypocrites……Oh wait the dems support the troops, unless of course they don't like their candidate.....


does the word/term delusional mean anything to you?

Re: Funding for Swift Boat Attacks Against Hillary Already Underway

Just wanted to say that it looks like the "Swifties" are in for one hell of a tougher fight this election season than they were in 2003- 2004 if the demonstrations we just had in Washington are any indication. I hope the disgruntled and angry Vets of the "Nam era have had time to lick their wounds because it's starting to look like they're going to be getting some new ones.

does the word/term delusional mean anything to you?

Does the word/term "lies and spins" mean anything to you? I have no problem with anyone, even vets, being challenged by facts. But swift boat provides lies.

Facts:
1) Patrick Runyon, part of the Swiftboat campaign, signed a statement indicating his boat did not take gunfire. He later recanted his statement and said they were indeed fired upon by enemies. "It was the scariest night of my life," said Runyon.

2) Elliot, a commender who praised Kerry during the war, issued an affidavit in 2004 criticizing Kerry. Elliot wrote that Kerry shot a wounded and fleeting vietcon in the back, contradicting eyewitnesses report that Kerry shot and killed an enemy holding a deadly weapon face to face. Elliot admitted he was not present during the shooting and did not offer an explanation why he questioned Kerry's heriocs. Elliot later recanted his statements and said his affidavit is not factual, saying, "I knew it was wrong." Elliot later recanted again and said his first affidavit is right and he regretted apologizing for it. Can you say flip-flopper?

3) Larry Thurlow, a swift boat vet, signed a statement saying his and Kerry's boat were not fired upon. He accused Kerry of fabrication. Military records containing a report written by Thurlow during the war shows that they were fired upon. In that report, Thurlow praised John Kerry for risking his life to help fellow soldiers "despite enemy bullets flying about him."


Lies, lies lies. That's what swiftboats vets for lies are. And that's why "swiftboating" is now a term that almost everyone understands.

Actually I only guessed at what Morris is going to say. But he is currently asking for money and will soon release a film so filled with lies that it make Bagdad Bob looks honest. But I'm sure the Republicans will believe every word of it.

It breaks my heart to see republicans lowering themselves to the level of the democrats. They lose their edge and turn off Christian standards.
They should have known that the good saw through these media and liberal organizations attacking president Bush when he announced his candidacy against al-gore. When it escalated on Kerry running (The guy reminds me of that tree on the “Wizard of Oz” that threw apples at Dorothy.) private conservative groups tried to counter but only pissed off president Bush and other moral Americans.
