They're backkkk......
The lunatic right returns Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the right-wing goon squad whose defamatory insinuations helped sink John Kerry's presidential campaign? They're back! This afternoon, key Swift boaters George "Bud" Day, Mary Jane McManus and Carlton Sherwood are holding a little reunion, in the guise of a panel discussion at the American Conservative Union's annual Conservative Political Action Conference. The panel topic? "The Left's Repeated Campaign Against the American Soldier." It's not hard to visualize the right-wing talking points that will emerge from this. The Swift boaters will be dusting off their 2004 scripts and reaching back still further to dredge up their Vietnam-era notes. Expect to see all the old myths revived: The antiwar left spits on returning troops and gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Oh, John Murtha, why do you hate our brave troops? ..... The conference — cosponsored by more than 70 conservative groups and with an audience likely to exceed 5,000 this year — has long been a showcase for the heart and soul of American conservatism. Each year it attracts top White House officials and Republican presidential hopefuls (this year, big-name speakers include Dick Cheney, Tony Snow, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani, Sam Brownback, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney). I wonder what the tactic will be this time around.... Hmm, let me guess, find some random people who've never met Obama to testify the Senator is a satan worshipper. Cut and paste some photos of Hillary to show that she is actually Jane Fonda in disguise? Hmm, I wonder. All this is bad news for the conservative movement, which will only become more marginal if it continues to embrace its lunatic fringe. But it's probably good for progressives, who stand to gain the most from conservatism's self-destruction. Well, I'm not sure it's good for Progressives. But the lunatic-rights' surely hurts America.

The Good News .. who the fuck cares what this group of loony liars do. Their lies and deceptions are only exceeded by their irrelevence.
Will conservative media Swift Boat apologists now apologize? Media Matters - Will conservative media Swift Boat apologists now apologize? excerpt -- In recent weeks, conservative media figures -- such as Robert Novak, Brit Hume, Tony Blankley, and Fred Barnes -- have lauded and vouched for the credibility of the recently released Regnery book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, co-authored by anti-Kerry group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth co-founder John E. O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi. Due to reports by numerous credible news sources in recent days, many of the stories told in Unfit are falling apart, and the partisan ties of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are proving to run even deeper than previously known. Yet even after The Washington Post discredited a Kerry critic on August 19, The Washington Times published its third of three Unfit excerpts -- and with it allegations made by that same Kerry critic -- on August 20. Following are recent reports that debunk and discredit claims made against Kerry in the book: -- The Washington Post: "Records Counter a Critic of Kerry" -- USA Today: Swift Boat Vet's "contention is contradicted by his military records" -- MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews: host Chris Matthews told a Swift Boat vet: "You haven't produced any personal knowledge" -- MMFA: "O'Reilly Factor sub host challenged Swift Boat Vet on failing to question his own Bronze Star citation" -- The Oregonian: Swift Boat Vet "did not witness the events in question" -- The New York Times: Swift Boat Vets' "web of connections" to Bush family, Karl Rove; Swift Boat Vet said Kerry was "a good man" in March 2003 -- ABC News: "On the Record: Who and What Is Behind the Anti-Kerry Vietnam Ads?" -- The Boston Globe: Swift Boat Vet "retracts criticism of Kerry" (When the Swift Boat Vet recanted his recantation in an affidavit, the Globe stood by its report; Annenberg Political Fact Check reported that his affidavit was "misleading" and contained "an incorrect characterization of the official basis for Kerry's Silver Star.") In the face of mounting evidence that these claims have no merit, conservatives have continued to tout the book and many of its baseless assertions. ---------------- I encourage you to go to the link and read the gushing approvals for these liars that come from the leading republican "thinkers". Stick a fork in 'em .. they're done. |

Still can't get over the fact that Kerry lost can you? Clinton did the same thing and meet with Russian officials during Nam at a time where even diplomats would have been arrested on Russian soil. It boggles the mind that these traitors weren’t arrested more or less holding office in a government they resent and hate. But hey, there for abortion and queer rights so what diffrence does it make to there base. Who else would be for such a thing… |

So booger, what you are saying is that based on your own characterization you are a Republican. I'm saying that Iraq is an unmitigated disaster, and anyone who can't see that now is stupid and Republican. I'm saying that George W. Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the country, and people who think he's doing a good job are stupid and Republican. It's these stupid people who are the backbone of the Republican Party. You vote Republican, don't you? |

No, I'm saying that the people who believed the BS about Kerry, and still repeat it after it's all been shown to be lies are stupid and Republican. His false claims towards Medals reserved for the truly wounded? The fact he took the side on the NVA upon coming Home? The FACT he went to France to meet with the ENEMY? Or is it just the fact he is a no good Mass, cocksucker and Girly-Boy married to an Alpha-Female who deals witth La Raza and other radicals? Tell us Goober boy what are the so-called proven truths about this cocksucker! |
