Democrats disingenuous in their condemnation of "Unfit for Command"
Matt Jacobs
one little book. You would think there were 100 books criticizing
Kerry.
Just to be fair, let's take a look at some of the books that are
critical of Pres. Bush and Bush Administration policies. Some of these
authors have valid points; others are slimy hatchet jobs. You decide.

Well, the scintillating conversation will have moved on to fighting over the
last few votes. Instead of talking about chad stuck in the holes of voting
cards, new technology means the argument will be over fingermarks on the
voting touch screens causing false triggering in favour of one of the
candidates.
Everything changes yet everything remains the same :-)

That you find it amazing doesn't surprise me.
The major difference, if you spent any time examining the situation at all,
you'd find to be that this one little book is almost entirely false (with
the exception that most of the fellows mentioned in it actually *did* serve
in Vietnam). Further, you'll find that you are being disingenuous from the
get-go, because it isn't the Dems making a fuss over this one little book,
it's the GOP - if you look back, you'll notice the Dems ignored it for
several weeks while the GOP and their radio Freddies harped on about it.
It wasn't until weeks had passed that they were forced to address it by
pointing out what a total crock it was, and how a member of GW's reelection
committee was actually a member of the group itself.

And what amazes me is that you haven't figured out yet that this whole tack
you take of "where there's smoke there's gotta be fire". You've just
billowed out about six tons of smoke, and you can't see the fire.
It's such blind slavery that distinguishes you from a thinking voter. It's
not that you can't see it, it's that you choose not to. George has you bent
over the couch and is working you over, and you're cheerfully singing along
"thank you sir may I have another".
*That* is what is amazing.

You have a chicken named Silly?
Sorry, I had to....
I see this newsgroup as a microcosm of the country.
There are the Right-Wing-Ranters impressing no one...
The Left-Wing-Smuggies who feel intellectually superior...
The RWR dump a thesis and 6 links on why Kerry is a CS...
The LWS reply "Oh Really"... and the beat goes on....

One negative book about Kerry and it's the holy bible for you.

Sadly, most of the right don't seem to have the same insight when it comes
to the unfit swift boat loonies.
You're right... to some lies simply don't matter.

What lies, exactly, are you referring to, Ed? Either lay it on the table
where everyone can see it, or shut the hell up about it.
