Kerry took a camera to vietnam
Give me a fucking break, on hardball they showed a clip of some operative mentioning that, and bob dole makes a smart ass remark "well maybe he was planning to run for congress"

So tweety says kerry went to vietnam, and george bush didnt
and the right wing idiot simply says "but john kerry took his camera"

this group has to be the most caitiff i have ever seen

22. Took pics too!
DemoTex in the 'Nam, where George W. Bu$h wasn't, and John Kerry and Al Gore were. Cameras or not. Many had cameras in Vietnam, thanks to the low prices of PACEX. This picture was taken with my Asahi Pentax, which I still use to this day.

5. May be a hint as to how many votes
Diebold will steal for Bush. Dole said he though Bush would win by 6 points or more.

7. I was in the military, and EVERYBODY had a camera
We took them everywhere, and took pictures of everything.

But hey, I bet they realize that now, eh?

;)

9. Same Here
During the Gulf War, almost everyone had a camera, I know I did. Maybe I'll run for Congress one day?

10. Bob Dole actually offered a pretty funny answer to that question.
After showing the video of the asshat criticizing Kerry for taking a camera to Vietnam:

Chris Matthews: Do you think it's a cheap shot to criticize John Kerry for taking a camera with him to Vietnam?

Bob Dole: Well... they've certainly all got cameras over there in Iraq now.

I giggled.... but Dole's still an idiot.

21. Granted, but he's one genuinely funny mofo who takes no prisoners
Think my favorite Dole line was his reference to a reunion of former presidents: Carter, Ford and Nixon, as "see no evil, hear no evil, and evil"

Even when he's wrong, it's hard not to have a warm spot for the crusty ol' curmudgeon... and more than a little pity when you realize what he married (the 2nd time around)

11. Most of them had cameras. The GOP operatives would know that if ANY of
them had bothered to serve themselves.

12. Bob Dole is wigged out on Viagra!
The Whole Gang is on some kind of drugs if they think things are going well in America!

Bob Dole predicted he was gonna' win big too, but he was only shitting himself! GOPers have a bad habit of shitting themselves and that is why they STINK! The Cowardly Lyin' in Chief is a walking calamity and they know it!

If those trying to make something out of it had been there they'd have seen lots of cameras.

15. My dad's got probably 2,000 pictures from his year in Vietnam
and he sure wasn't gonna run for anything.

One of these days I want to scan 'em and digitize 'em all.

16. Anyone that owned a camera or Super-8 brought it with them
to Vietnam.

It was not a rare thing.

19. My then boyfriend
sent me all kinds of pics from Vietnam.

These idiots are acting like Kerry was the only guy over there with a camera.

Who the f*ck cares if he had a camera? If this is the best they can do to discredit 3 Purple Hearts and and a Silver and Bronze Star they are truly desperate.
