ATTENTION Swift Boat Duds For LIES!
Edited on Sat Aug-21-04 05:14 PM by matcom
I AM A VETERAN

How DARE YOU QUESTION Another VETERAN'S SERVICE!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!

If you trash any Man or Woman who WILLINGLY put on a uniform and did HIS or HER DUTY in ANY THEATER, you are a f*cking DISGRACE to your country!!

I never served during war time. but i DID SERVE (and honorably). I made sure the Fulda Gap wasn't breached. I did so through rain and sleet and snow. I did so morning, noon and night.

hey Mr. O'Neill! Want to ride in MY M1A1 Abrams Tank?

YOU trashed a fellow VETERAN pal. That is a Code Of Conduct that is FORBIDDEN. YOU and your Ilk Crossed the LINE! You want ME to salute you as "SIR"? Don't f*cking bet on it. Insubordination? BRING.IT.ON.

I'll do so if my country is in danger but take heed. If *I* am recalled, do yourself a favor and don't find yourself "DOWN RANGE".

Get It?

- A Veteran

21. LET'S KICK SOME ASS ...From Another Veteran
The American people should be outraged at the news media and political pundits who have been pimping the Swift Boat malarkey, now designated the Sieve Boat, due to all the holes punched in their stories. Accusations of “treason” by a genuine war hero like Scott O’Grady fell from the sky faster than Mr. O’Grady’s plane; and the most ubiquitous dirt devil, John O’Neill, is a shameless smut spreader, who was incited by the Nixon White House to get John Kerry. Thirty-three years later, he’s still trying. That one fact alone says it all.

Although Sieve Boat funding and links to Bush’s Slimegate Campaign are only tentative, the following are indisputable: Some of these flip-flopping vets once supported Kerry, some of these heros still appear disturbed over the civilian deaths and atrocities inherent in any guerrilla warfare with free fire zones; fragging and the hunt for scapegoats did not end with the US withdrawal; most accusations are hearsay and/or contradictory, daily more eyewitnesses and Generals are publicly supporting Kerry; and the official US records support Kerry.

It is also a fact that since under the law, “silence means consent,” that Bush is a fully active participant in . It is also a fact that while John Kerry was fighting, George W. Bush was hiding, and while US military documents validate John Kerry’s medals, they also verify that “W” stands for AWOL. Kerry the zealot volunteer patriot vs. Bush the cowardly criminal.

3. Oh, I can feel the anger!
I was in the Army, but not a war veteran and I'm disgusted beyond belief. I want to kick these bastards right in the nuts. If what Kerry did didn't deserve a medal, what the hell does? As far as I'm concerned, these men are insulting everyone who ever put on a uniform for the U.S. military. How dare they attempt to drag a true man of honor through their filth, and you know what? They are going to be the ones smelling like sh*t.

12. But he didn't "slander all the men"
so just stop your lying. Have you actually read/heard his testimony? Tell me WHERE the fuck it says anything about "all" or "every" anything? Of COURSE most were innocent of cimmitting atrocities, and Sen. Kerry never said they were guilty.

Your tricks are cheap and revolting and your comments to matcom are unworthy of comment. Go hide under a rock.

13. doing the right thing
You don't always get the things you want right now by doing the right thing, but in the end, I think your life is better for it.

Nader may not win in 2004. But I won't have turned over my right to select a president over to a few powerful guys who saw Kerry as just the right kind of marketable product.

54. Nader is most definitely the WRONG thing
he's just a notch higher than Bush in my book. Kerry is way higher than both put together. Kerry respects the working people, Nader does not. Kerry has sound policies that can be enacted NOW and can work. Nader has lots of warm kool-aid and his policies are way off the deep end.

Yes, its true that rich and powerful people back the Democrats and Republicans. That's politics. Kerry is genuine and good. Nader is full of shit and more like Bush than any of his supporters are willing to admit.

If you want to "protest" vote for a third party candidate, there are several running that are better than Nader. Take a look at David Cobb (G) or Michael Badnarik (L).

But I will vote for the guy who Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich have endorsed and who will take our country back from the neo-cons.

11. Kerry to do in 1972
he spoke a truth, and we know it is a truth, reflection of history. he had the right to speak the truth having participated in experience and death, and it was a questioning the authority not the fellow troops. he did this in support of the truth. if you cant rap your mind around that, then it is your issue. but in his experience of vietnam and then coming back, having the white fellows sittin in the office own their place in history, is honorable

38. Don't worry about Buttman
I fight with him all the time. He's a little punk. You can just tell. He picks on girls and I think he lives with his mom. He says things like "glub glub glub". Doesn't that sound like rubber ducky language to you? He found out what town I lived in and was going to send over "the boys from the chapter". Those stupid assholes from stormtroopers or whatever. I was hoping they'd come. people who make threats are stupid. Would you kill somebody after you e-mailed them and told them so. I would have had a sign on my body that said, "look in the computer". lol

56. Yeah, I just tossed Azzhole Joe off my message board!
He started stinkin' up the joint.

Just to show how DU obsessed he is, he signed up as "willpitt" within an hour of me opening the board for business. Then he posted as his other sock puppet, 'Johnny Nelson' and this one was a bit nastier and threatening. You can take a look at this sorry fool's work here:

http://eunderground.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=troll

Needless to say, I banned his pathetic sorry ass and blocked his IP. If any of you have experience in tracking IP's (I have some) here it is:

68.2.122.236

Clueless Joe really needs to get a life. Or get laid. Or something.

If you have any hate mail from this loser - it's now very simple to contact the FBI. That's a federal crime.

39. He's MrBenchley's biggest fan, too.
Every time a Bob Boudelang article gets posted, Benchley gets death threats from 'AZ Joe' too. Reputedly, he was banned from FR for either indelicate language or making the same kinds of threats on there against high-profile people. Rumguy's had some experience with the *ahem* 'gentleman' in question, also.

He's apparently a DU groupie -- he seems to know what's going on here at any given time more than I do, and I'm on here three or four hours a day most days.

57. He's been banned several times
Used to be fairly active. I even found pictures of him on the Arizona Free Republic site.

Evidently, he must have gone farther off the deep end, and got banned. He signed up again, and I riled him enough from here that he went off on a profanity-laced tirade and got banned again. You can see that here:


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=1347389#1350096


He's been booted from many other boards, including RW ones. And he just got kicked off mine.

The guy is pretty certifiable. And he spends more time on DU that I do! Must have serious unresolved anger issues.

I'm sure Mr. Gutman will appreciate it.

I believe he was named after being found abandoned on the steps of a hospital.

The poeple who brought him inside found a note attached saying:

This fell out of a horses' ass.

Horse ass seemed inappropriate, so....

( Although the name given would then imply his mother was a prostitute. I guess this guy can't win. So sad.)

31. AMEN Brother!!!!
When the Bushbots questioned Gore's Vietnam service in 2000 with a chain email, my parents (my Dad being a Nam Vet himself) severed a friendship of 27 years because the stupid fucks who sent it kept pushing the "Gore is a socialist" bullshit. We had no idea they were such freeptards, but that is the way it goes.

My Dad's reply to their email was brilliant. He said, "I have been known to hug the occasional tree myself...". Mentioned his donations to GREENPEACE. LOL! He was a 26-year career Navy enlisted man. Fuckers!

Matcom, the ZombyTroof is, the shit of these fuckers will come to life, and kiss them!

36. My husband
who has two Purple Hearts from Desert Storm feels the same way.

He watched a lot of that shit on TV and just shook his head and said "Damn, good thing I'm not running against bush. They'd just say I didn't EARN those Purple Hearts or some shit. What do you need, video documentation nowdays? This is bullshit."

I got the sense it deeply hurt and angered him. Then he turned to me and said, "That is lower than low. Veterans tearing down veterans. I never thought I'd see the day."

He won't even talk about the swift boat slimies now. Refuses to.

What they have done is put down any vet by saying what they did , everybody who is a vet will have people looking at them and saying did he really do that or is it just a lie , did he hold his ground under fire or did he run, was his metals earned or where they just a bunch of bull.Any vet who said anything about a vet after the war a low life a**hole.

55. Prhaps you can explain to me how it is decided who gets a medal.
I would have thought the officer in charge would record what happens
in any action, and would recommend who should get an award. And if
it wasn't justified at all, surely the other soldiers would have
something to say about it? So if Kerry hadn't earned his bravery
awards, there'd have to be a whole lot of people lying - and why
would they do that?

I just can't understand how even the right-wing press could be so
idiotic as to even bother to print this stuff.
