You got to be kidding me with those bandages!
Forgive me, but I just want to rant for a second and it's probably boring as hell and way too long, so just don't even bother with it ... but this "purple heart" bandages nonsense is just too fucking egregious! That shit stopped me dead this morning ... some pious jackball strutting about on the floor of MSG handing out band-aids with purple hearts on them?!?!?! Like, WTF! That shit is out of control ... and who is this guy, right? He wants to show the boys up top that he's a firecracker, that he's a dedicated and loyal member of his party ... and hell, maybe Hannity will have him on the show and they can just visit and laugh at liberals and hippies and he can get in some of the one-liners he thinks of late at night after his family has gone to sleep, hey the guys in the chat rooms thought some of them were really funny so maybe he can get a gig on the show thinking up insults for Sean ... oh and hey, maybe Hannity will invite him over for dinner and he'll get to meet Sarah Evans and that little black McCain baby and then they all stay up late pounding scotch and rapping about "The Game" and how well Karl Rove plays it. He knows people might yell at him for such an over-the-top expression, but the Truth(TM) is on his side. He has The Facts(TM), and you can't change something like a fact, no sir, it is what it is. Kerry is just going to have to accept that people now know, thanks to the 'Republikans for Clean Swift Boats!', that all he did was nick himself with a straight-razor one morning before the rest of his crew rolled their fat asses out of bed, "That's PurpleHeart number one" he probably says to himself. But now it's all in a new book, and he can't lie about it anymore ... and every night, before I go to sleep, I hit my knees and pray to the god of my parents choice that He (capital H) will continue to give Mr Bush the moral courage to take out the brown people who stand in our oil^H^H^Hway ... oh, and to get rid of Welfare Queens, cause that shit is WHACK, yo! And then he reads a passage from "Unfit for Command" before placing it back on the shelf next to a signed copy of "See I Told You So", a headshot of Dixie Lee Ray, and the bible. And he probably posts his own useless prattle on political websites when he should be working, just like I'm doing now!

Somebody HELP ME!!! I mean, what do these fucking guys want us to think?! That everyone was just over there in Vietnam throwing rock candy at each other with a slingshot and collecting purple hearts for their bruises?!?!?! Good sweet christ, don't these guys think that the military MIGHT check something like that out before just tossing Purple-Fucking-Hearts at the nearest Kerry?!?!?! I mean, what the FUCK is going on?!

9. I feel the same way...
It's a blatant diss on anyone who has served. Doesn't JFK have piece of friggin shrapnel still in his leg? Damn.

3. Welcome to DU!!

Great rant. :hi:

& I agree with you, this is unbelievable and grotesque...

Hope this gets LOTS of coverage, because these are clearly CHILDISH, REPULSIVE people who are enjoying SPITTING on a decorated veteran.

6. I graduated high school in '66, and most of my male classmates
and those a few years older, were up for the draft. But now, I guess it's funny, and we can all pretend that Nam never happened (just like Iraq is being ignored in the US). There were no bullets EVER shot at ANY swift boat; no US soldier has ever merited a Purple Heart; the military just hands out medals to anyone who requests them; and the names on 'the Wall' are all fiction! But the GOP 'Supports the Troops' unlike the all the traitors who marched on Sunday.

8. Hey thanks you guys ...
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 10:49 AM by p0X
I love you all, and I *love* it here ... and, I mean, I'm like NOT trying to grandstand here, or be the "smartest guy in the room" or anything like that ... I just don't know what in the hell is going on! The band-aids are just ... I don't know, they go too far for no reason at all. Do you know what I mean? There's plenty of ammo if you want to dump on Kerry ... you can call him 'horse-face' or 'Botox' or something lame like that, or make fun of the pronunciation of his wife's name, christ I don't know. The bandages just *really* pissed me off because they got too close to Limbaugh bagging on Chelsea's looks, and I just wanted to express it ... so thanks =)
