but when people throw perjorative terms like "baby killer"
I thought by Kerry's own admission he was a baby killer (and worse). So, how could that then be a perjorative?

Enough of the frigging fonts and spaces and th's and periods and commas. Jesus Christ, get a grip.

I am curious - how many of you that are double-checking all the superscript "th"s and the spacing and fonts in this memo, questioned the accuracy of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad?
All the documents proving that Kerry served his country and earned his medals were in the official records but all the talking heads on TV openly speculated whether Kerry's wounds were self-inflicted for weeks on end. In Bush's case, no one has come forward to even claim that they remember Bush fulfilling his duty while stationed in Alabama and the official records that would prove it don't exist for some reason. Now there appear these documents from the "60 minutes" report and immediately the response is that they must be forgery and it can not be true.
So just how many of you who are suspicous of this memo were just as suspicous in regard to the Swift Boat Vets' ad?

Typical, ignore the point about Kerry's (DNC) and Rather's use of foegeries trying to destroy Bush, with a counter charge. Simply put, when over 200 live verterans can point out Hanoi John's actions, it a lot more convincing, that typing a memo in a dead man's name.
I have no doubt Kerry is a war criminal (as he admits in his own words), for the actions he did in his 4 months in Vietnam, and I have no doubt that the CBS documents are frauds.
I expect that Kerry will loose the election, because you can't fool all the people all the time, but Rather will weather this storm.

Perhaps if your reading comprehension skills were more on an adult level you would have understood she addressed the point of the "so-called-proof" and showed it to be no proof at all.
And the reason she brought up the "Swift Boat Vets" was to show the hypocrisy of many of the Pro-Bush people who defended their right to smear Kerry no matter how suspicious or nonexistent the evidence was but now that the shoe's on the other foot.. . well, now it's. .
. . .from the Bushies. .
Oh and tell me "gentlemen". . there have been quite a few Iraqi children killed since the invasion and occupation. . do you both plan on calling some soldier who's over there now putting his or her life on the line a "baby killer" some time in the future if they happen to go against your candidate?
Just wondering. .

. . .Serious question, that no one has answered yet. What happens after the election, no new posts and threads, or do we just keep going on?
BTW where did you get my baby picture?

I guess that means you DO NOT sign your memos to yourself. Funny when the liberals cry vast right wing conspiracy, we have to take it seriously.
When there is proof of the liberal tendencies of our 'main stream' media, and conservatives point it out, we're all nuts.
So, do you sign the memos your right to yourself?
And yes, the th conspiracy line in my original post *WAS* a joke, although now I am really wondering!

Well lets see. . You're right that he was still a congressman when George W. was admitted to the Guard in '68. . but although a Freshman, he did serve on the influential House Ways and Means Committee- the only Freshmen Rep. to get that powerful position in a Congress dominated by Dems. . and his father Prescott Bush had been a pretty powerful Senator. . .

2) Dmadman43 sold it to me for $10 and some illegal Canadian Sudafed. .
Seriously, darn good comeback post! I withdraw the "reading comp" remark.. .

Well see Dmadman, when you read an opinion, it is helpful to read all of it.
Although the subject of this issue is connected to service in one of the branches of our military, my opinon, or the "point" I'm making isn't about who "served" better or saying that "service" is a requirement for being President.
My "point" is about honesty- about holding elected officials accountable and being able to trust that they will tell us the truth. . . it's about whether or not money, political power, and priviledge got George W. a pass on Vietnam while the kids of the working class and poor had to send theirs off to fight and die . . .and about how now he's sending a new generation off to fight and die in an unwinnable war in Iraq and dressing up like "Top Gun" for a photo op when he took advantage of the system to get out of seeing combat when he could have. . . and it's about whether or not he's been lying about it since for political gain. .
See I think the evidence shows that he did lie; and some of the other nice people here think that the evidence shows a news guy named Dan Rather lied. . . so we "disagree" with each other which is why were "picking apart" each other's "opinions" at 2:30 in the morning. . well that and because we have no "life". .
I know for "special" people like you it can get very confusing, especially when the opinion is presented over several pages and different posts, but you just hang in there . . you are doing very good and just hang in there and keep asking questions- it's the only way you're going to learn stuff. .
