[Cocoa]

tough words from the little puke.

<snip>


Kerry's campaign has been one long string of deceits. But Kerry made a crucial error: He counted out cosmic justice. Nearly three decades after the end of the Vietnam War, the veterans Kerry degraded are back. A group of 250 Vietnam veterans known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are speaking up, letting America know that what happened in Vietnam and its aftermath has not been forgotten. They claim that John Kerry is no war hero -- that, in fact, he is a back-stabbing glory-seeker. And their voice is being heard: "Unfit for Command <http://www.thbookservice.com/BookPage.asp?prod_cd=c6527>," their book, has dominated the best-seller charts ever since its release. To add to the irony, Swift Boat Vets for Truth is a 527 organization -- a direct parallel to the Moveon.org, pro-Kerry monster.

The Kerry campaign has been unable to cope with the problem of "midah k'neged midah." Instead of confronting the charges leveled by the Swiftees -- just release your records, Sen. Kerry! -- he has questioned their integrity, trying to pull a Hillary Clinton-esque charge of "vast right-wing conspiracy." Instead of welcoming the debate -- just release your records, Sen. Kerry! -- he has attempted to stifle it, filing a Federal Election Commission suit baselessly alleging that the Bush administration is behind these veterans (yet another instance where Kerry has no problem insulting vets if they disagree with him). Instead of putting forth a convincing argument in his own defense -- just release your records, Sen. Kerry! -- he has called upon the publisher of "Unfit for Command <http://www.thbookservice.com/BookPage.asp?prod_cd=c6527>" to pull it from stores.

Now that "midah k'neged midah" has come crashing down about John Kerry's ears, he wants to stop talking about Vietnam. Pathetically, he told an audience in New York that it is Bush who is "misleading the American people, hiding behind front groups, saying anything and doing anything to avoid the real issues that matter, like jobs, health care and the war in Iraq."

Sen. Kerry, I've been waiting for months to hear you speak to the real issues in this campaign. But you don't have any real answers, and so you've continually hearkened back to your halcyon days on the Mekong Delta. Sen. Kerry, you wanted to relive the Vietnam era, and now, you've got it. All you have to do is release your records. Now's the time: Either put up, or shut the hell up.

1. How old is that little cork-soaker?

[kanrok]

7. The fargin bastage

[Cocoa]

8. he's in college

and he comes up with some weird wild shit.

[leftistagitator]

11. He's in college and not the military?

That little right wing cowardly peice of human filth ought to back up his support of Bush's Iraq policies by signing up, or he can go rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. How dare he critisize Kerry for serving in Vietnam when the closest that moron ever came to death is when he blacked out after one too many shots of trashcan punch?

[phantom power]

2. please, let's have this debate. Bush and Kerry can trade records.

[peacetalksforall]

3. He out-Malkins Malkin.

Are there any more records to release? Or can someone send him a list of government military link with names and dates?

I wonder what foundation groomed him. Sons of PNAC?

[speedoo]

4. He is clearly delusional.

But we shouold not be surprised. This guy is so far out on the right wing, he makes Richard Pearle, Wolfowitz and co. look like liberals.

[fearnobush]

5. I'll show you mine if you show me yours?

What records... All your talking about is personal memoriors. The liars won't show theirs ether... So who is the big guy here! I told that to the Repukes at work today...they all shut the fuck up and got themselves cornered.

[Catch22Dem]

6. What records?

They keep saying that. What records has Kerry not released. I mean, seeing as how all we got out of bush was a dental chart.

[ClintonTyree]

10. Well....................

if Kerry can't produce dental records that's proof positive that he shirked his duty in Viet Nam. President Bush provided his and so should Kerry. If you didn't have your teeth checked, you weren't in the big one. Our great President wasn't afraid to let the American people know the condition of his teeth. What is Kerry hiding?

(You don't know how many times I had to supress the gag reflex writing that)

9. Toast to Shapiro

"After making his name in 1971 by returning from Vietnam and slandering U.S. troops before Congress(1), Kerry decided that in order to win the 2004 presidential campaign, he'd have to become Andrew Jackson(2), Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ulysses S. Grant(3) all rolled into one."

"Kerry's campaign has been one long string of deceits."(4)

(1) Shapiro, dude, it's only slander if it ain't true. I've got friends who were there who say it is.

(2) Jackson committed genocide on the Cherokee nation by sending them on the Trail of Tears. Just not Kerry's style.

(3) Hellooo. Kerry didn't stay in to make General.

(4) Bwwwwhhhaaaaaaa. Damn. Just spit on my computer.

12. Just sent little Ben an email telling him to put up or shut up. I

encouraged him to march on down to his local recruiter's office, sign up for a tour of duty in Iraq, and IF he makes it home alive he may have earned the right to tell a decorated combat veteran to put up or shut up.

I loathe cowardly little punk ass pukes like that. He lacks the guts to do what John Kerry did. Ask to be sent into a war zone.
He's already lost the argument.

[HarveyBriggs]

13. Say HI to Osama Ben!

When the unit you sign up for gets to Afganistan.

Cowardly little puke, never served and says this about a soldier's record.

More posturing from the yellow bellies.

Why can't we have a big mouth draft?

14. That picture of him just says...

he was probably that one kid every school has who the bullies torment and beat up for lunch money. Now the rest of the world is having to pay for all those years.

Anyway, as he is a junior neocon, I wouldn't plan on him taking up the offer to enlist in the military anytime soon.
