If one more person posts that God Damn CNS link

I'm gonna reach through Al Gore's Super Highway and personally choke you with both hands! :mad:

Deep cleansing breaths.

Who needs Republicans? We're quite good at spreading the propaganda about our candidates ourselves.

BTW, fix your subject line, Tru. I think you meant "one more", but I can understand typing in the heat-of-the-moment. :)

never type when you're angry... BUT I've seen quite a few threads pop up with the link to CNS and I've seen them get locked too...

They were driving me crazy, as well. I can't believe how willing many DUers are to jump on the propaganda bandwagon.

People need to realize that, at this point, either we win in November or we don't. That's the bottom line, and perpetuating BS stories like the CNS crap isn't helping.

I alerted those that I saw.

Huzuh?

an article from CNSNews.com. Is this the link you are talking about?

CNS is not a valid source for LBN. Or anything, for that matter.

with the same Kerry hit piece regarding so-called vets against Kerry. It's like some posters have a heard mentality towards right wing rags....

be a news conference on Tuesday in Washington dissing Kerry?

They can post 99 percent bullshit and 1 percent fact and that's good enough to stick here at DU ?

question, Is this factually correct? You ought to learn to read before you speak.

Or NewsHax. Or PNAC Net Daily. Or the Neocon World Review. Or Insight. Or the Washingmoonie Times.

Washington tomorrow dissing Kerry? That's all I wanted to know. Some of the people on this site are as evasive as the right wing extremists on other sites.

The slugs under the rock are holding a convention. Why pay attention.

in my outhouse tomorrow dissing Bush.

OK?

The GOP's not-so-impartial hit man
Desperate to denigrate John Kerry's war record, Republicans have trotted out a "nonpartisan" Navy Vietnam vet -- who was a protege of Nixon dirty trickster Charles Colson and whose law firm is closely tied to the Bush White House.

April 23, 2004 | Houston attorney John E. O'Neill, the Navy veteran who has emerged recently as a harsh and ubiquitous critic of John Kerry's military service, tells reporters that he has never really been interested in politics and isn't motivated by partisan interests. In the media, O'Neill is often http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/politics/2519253 >described simply as a Vietnam vet still enraged by the antiwar speeches Kerry delivered more than 30 years ago. That was when O'Neill first came to public attention as a clean-cut, pro-war http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4534274 />protégé of the Nixon White House's highest-ranking dirty trickster (aside from the late president himself), Charles Colson.

Also note that O'Neill did not serve in the 'Nam with Lt. Kerry. He arrived in-country 2 months after Lt. Kerry had cycled out.

A Sterling Record
By Wesley K. Clark
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

When John Kerry released his military records to the public last week, Americans learned a lot about Mr. Kerry's exceptional service in Vietnam. They also learned a lot about the Republican attack machine.

The evaluations were uniformly glowing. One commander wrote that Mr. Kerry ranked among "the top few" in three categories: initiative, cooperation and personal behavior. Another commander wrote, "In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action, Lt. j.g. Kerry was unsurpassed." The citation for Mr. Kerry's Bronze Star praises his "calmness, professionalism and great personal courage under fire."

In the United States military, there's no ideology — there are no labels, Republican or Democrat — when superiors evaluate a man or woman's service to country. Mr. Kerry's commander for a brief time, Grant Hibbard, now a Republican, gave Mr. Kerry top marks 36 years ago.

Now the standards are those of politics, not the military. Despite his positive evaluations, Mr. Hibbard recently questioned whether Mr. Kerry deserved one of his three Purple Hearts.

In the heat of a political campaign, attacks come from all directions. That's why John Kerry's military records are so compelling; they measure the man before his critics or his supporters saw him through a political lens. These military records show that John Kerry served his country with valor, and that those who served with him and above him held him in high regard. That's honor enough for any veteran.

Yet the Republican attack machine follows a pattern we've seen before, whether the target is Senator John McCain in South Carolina in 2000 or Senator Max Cleland in Georgia in 2002. The latest manifestation of these tactics is the controversy over Mr. Kerry's medals.

I thought you dumped the knife Juice?

I think because after seeing a thread about it I checked the news and there isn't anything about it. It's probably some repubs trying to have fun by starting some of the threads.

Why people insist on drinking from the reich wing media sewer I can never understand.

LOL!

I mean, like what if the strategy of Repugnant-cans is to float this totally false story just to plant the idea in people's minds that Kerry is unfit? How Machiavellian. No, too good for the author of "The Prince" - it is very, very Rovian.

I mean, it makes no sense, one guy doesn't even GO to Nam (or his post in Alabama) and Kerry is unfit for Commander-in-Chief?

I should just change my name to Alice and start looking for white rabbits.

I posted it on another thread before I read all the other posts on the subject.:scared: The question on that thread simply was whether there was or was not going to be a news conference. I posted the link to verify that CNS was saying that there was going to be a news conference. I certainly was not verifying the truth of the matter.
