Just in!! Repukes "applauded Senator Kerry Republican convention"
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 09:52 AM by Career Prole
I heard it this morning with my own ears and still didn't believe it, so I waited for the transcript from AM on CNN...

HEMMER: All right, next topic here for me, the Bush records, National Guard duty back in the earl '70s. Apparently a number of news organizations are going back to this issue yet again, and they are saying now, reporting, that President Bush fell well short of meeting his military obligations. The White House responds to this how now, Tucker?

ESKEW: Bill, the president served honorably and was discharged honorably. The president has made a point of underscoring that Senator Kerry served honorably. In fact, Senator Kerry was applauded at the Republican convention in New York, that you and I were just both at. And yet from the Democrats, we've heard a lot of this kind of talk.

You know, you think a lesson might have been learned in August, that the American people really aren't interested in debating 35 years ago. There are people who want to speak up about this. They're free to do so. The president served honorably, was discharged honorably, and he's very much focus on defending his record and talking about the future.

HEMMER: Tucker Eskew, thanks for your time, in D.C., 55 days and counting...

4. I must have missed that part
In between the band-aids and the Young Republicans kicking protesters. Perhaps it was in Zell's inspiring speech, just after he talked about Kerry waging war with spitballs.

6. Translation of Eskew speak
"We got our three weeks of uninterrupted savaging of Kerry last month. Let's quit talking about things that happened 35 years ago, because now it's going to hurt our guy really, really badly."

And Hemmer's response: Yes, turnabout is no longer to be considered fair play.

8. If he had served honorably, he would have received the medal
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 10:05 AM by rocknation
that is represented on this button:


Which means his honorable discharge is a phony, too!

The reason why the public eventually rejected the "talk" from the Smear-Boaters is because they all LIED. This time, we have EVIDENCE! And an AWOL commander-in-chief cannot be tolerated. Oh, and my buttons will be available for sale early next week (net proceeds going to a pro-Kerry group, of course).

14. I can't begin to tell you how much I want him to have to surrender
his "honorable" discharge. As an honorably discharged sailor that fraudulent coward deeply offends me. :grr:

Hey coward...
Give it back!!

11. That's not what GHWBush said in an interview, is it? He was swayed by the
"compelling" evidence, wasn't he?

Bushies LIE. They don't care how often or how blatantly...they just DO IT naturally.

15. Not your fault at all, eeyore...
It's cyclic. In the beginning...

We talked about AWOL, so they didn't want to talk about 'Nam.

Then came the not-so-swiftscow liars,and suddenly they wanted to talk 'Nam again. Kept shouting about it right over the proof showing the SBV Liars for what they were, in fact.

Thus was reborn the AWOL charge with renewed vigor since the repukes insisted on talking about 'Nam.

And now the AWOL thing is going to take a big bite out of their asses, which is why they're back to crying "No mas!"

I say show them NO mercy this time. :thumbsdown:
