RETREAT! Swiftboat Nonsense GONE from Drudge
Not a whisper left.

Looks like the shit finally hit the fan, and the RW is going to pretend it never happened.

Whistling "Swift boat vets? Never heard of 'em."

3. That graphic in the NYT was pretty damning
Basically called the whole thing bullshit and pointed the finger right back to the BushClan as the source.

5. One Dirty Trick Too Many?
asks the Washington Dispatch

they conclude:
This is not just another dirty trick, this is lying at its worst and manipulation of facts at its best.

And go on to condemn Rove.

6. Drudge retreats, Hannity is ramping up
He's playing the new ad on his radio show right now.

He's going crazy over the Salon article calling for the withdrawal of the book. He's saying he's going to sell the book on his web site so that people can get a copy, and also buy an extra to "give as a gift."

Tune into Hannity & Colmes tonight when Michelle Malkin whines some more about the way Matthews treated her last night.

Hannity is interviewing O'Neil right now. He's going to show the new ad on Hannity & Colmes tonight and calls it "nothing short of devistating."

8. It's going to be devastating, all right.
But it's not Kerry that's going to be devastated...

14. Hey Hawk!
Love the TBD "Devastator" picture.

The "Devastator" was named to devastate the enemy, but it was one of the worst performing planes of the war and all of them were chopped to bits at Midway.

The comparason to the Bush* campaign is awesome... ahh... delivering your message with vintge aircraft.

15. It's a custom with me...
Messages via vintage aircraft, especially 2nd rate ones.

Devastators were slaughtered at Midway (something like 38 shot down out of 44 engaged)... but torpedo planes at Midway had a bad record in general (4 of 6 Avengers shot down, 2 of 4 Maruaders, and only a night attack by PBY Catalina's scored any hits, damaging a tanker and not seriously).
BUT
Devastators did much better at Coral Sea, where they scored hits on 3 carriers, and share the credit (with the awesome Dauntless) for sinking one.
The TBF Avenger was a much better aircraft, and was already replacing the Devastator (note there were 6 involved at Midway, the 'Hornet Detatchment' sent to the island to boost the defense).

To push a metaphor...

'Bush's Devastators unable to get past Kerry's Zekes, no hits scored, TBD pilots slaughtered'.

12. Hannity has Oliver North on right now
Hannity: "He's not qualified to be a prison guard at Abu Ghraib Prison"

Oliver North: "He's either a liar or a war criminal"

Hannity: "Tune into Hannity and Colmes tonight for Michelle Malkin...and I can promise you that she will NOT be treated the way she was last night."

The entire Hannity radio show today is about "Kerry's War Crimes." North said "everyone listening, PLEASE, tune into Hannity & Colmes tonight, 7 PM on the Fox Network, and WATCH THIS AD."

13. Oliver North: "He's either a liar or a war criminal"
Pot-Kettle-Black

Why do people like Olie North and Katherine Harris get rewarded by their treasonous acts by landing a stint in congress?

Just two of my pet peeves in the world.

16. Hey, Ollie!
Testifying to Congress and telling the truth isn't treason, selling weapons to hostile forign powers is. Get it straight, already. Yes, I know, you sold weapons to foriegn powers and lied to Congress. I also know you are a convicted felon (perjury). So go away.

11. I Make a Habit of Avoiding Drudge Like the Plague
but I decided to visit after seeing your post. Being somewhat unfamiliar with his URL, I typed 'www.drudge.com' into my browser and this site appeared:

http://www.drudge.com/

Let me remind you, I'm not all that familiar with the website, but I thought it looked a little strange...yellow background, but I persisted. I noticed a link to an article called 'Attack on Kerry Springs a Leak' and thought to myself, 'THERE's something about the Smear Boat Liars! The guy who posted that must be FOS!' I clicked on that link and up came...THE NATION? :wtf: I went back to the Drudge site and saw the words that made me realize I had been snookered...'DRUDGE RETORT'

It's now official. I'm a tard! :silly:
