Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, August 26, 2008

Ted Sampley, a Green Beret who swiftboated John Kerry in 2004, is now going after John McCain. He said that the Republican senator ignored credible evidence that American POWs were still alive in Southeast Asia. "He took away the only leverage we had for getting those soldiers back," Sampley said. "Why? He was paying back the Vietnamese for keeping quiet about him."

McCain turned his back on the families of the MIA's just like Bush is turning his back on the first responders in New York.

Nice. FF

Obviously this guy doesn't know both Rambo and Colonel James Braddock brought them all home.

"He wanted to normalize relations with Vietnam," Sampley tells us. "He took away the only leverage we had for getting those soldiers back. Why? He was paying back the Vietnamese for keeping quiet about him."


Well McCaint the corporatist has voted many time against the troops and veterans.

McCain was a POW?

wow!

You would think he would mention it more....

McSame was on Leno explaining he has a right to 7 houses because he was a POW 40 years ago. Nothing to say about the future of America, just more "back when I was a POW crap."

Of course, since all he's offering is 4 more Bushyears, that's not a bad campaign policy.

I do hope, as more of this stuff shows up, the GOP will remember who invented swiftboating.

that's about as weak as it gets.

PROVE IT !!!!!!!!!

You folks remind me of sheep. You believe anything you read that is pro lib and against consevatives. Following the herd must be so very rewarding.

AAAAAAH....so, when the gun was pointed at Kerry by this swiftboater it was the God-honest truth...now that he's going against saint McCain, it's...PROVE IT! Now we all undestand.

"PROVE IT !!!!!!!!!"

Personally I don't believe anything any of the Swift boat Liars had or have to say. they were liars in 2004 they are liars today but now they are lying about a Republican so I expect that they will not be on Faux News like they were in 2004, they won't enjoy the support of right wing tools as they did in 2004.
John McCain's positions on the issues is more than enough to defeat him we don't need to dredge up lies about his past, we can defeat him on his flip flops on important issues of today.

Let me put it this way. You all seem to believe this story with no (zero) proof attached to the story. Let us say, someone writes an article saying Michele Obama was a teenage prostitute, would you believe it a quickly and strongly?

Or is it that you hate Bush so much that it has clouded you reasoning. Then again if it has I guess your reasoning skills were not to developed anyway.

Oh, I get it!

Ted Sampley says "Kerry is a lying coward"
CABO VATO says "Sampley is great man"

Ted Sampley says "McCain is a lying coward"
CABO VATO says "Sampley is a lying coward"

Then again if it has I guess your reasoning skills were not to developed anyway.

Posted by cabo_vato

so far we have not bought into what this guy has asserted because we questioned his first attempt at a smear, you, on the other hand, swallowed everything he had to say about Kerry without so much as a "mmmmmm"

This has all been out there for 40 years.

This is not some new accusation.

His fellow POWs have been calling him out since he was a POW who got special treatment for providing information to the enemy.

They have been saying this all along. I don't know why Republicans are so surprised. A lot of us have been aware of this for a long time now.

Sampley is as full of crap today as he was four years ago. What a surprise to learn that Fox News won't be making that mistake again this time around.

PROVE IT !!!!!

I liked the site that the article showed up on..Rush and Molloy and it was in their Gossip section. It was hard to choose between this story and their recommendations for baby gear. Lib sheep will suck up anything.

McCain defended Kerry when his service came under fire from these guys, which was respectable.

But both made their military careers part of their resume for president. Fair game, I say. The unbiased nature of the attacks (attacking candidates from both parties) lends a tiny amount of credibility to them.

So, will all the kool-aid drinkers who swallowed the Swift Boat lies in 2004 swallow this as well? Not as nice when the crap is sticking to the OTHER foot, is it?

But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.

For example, all the Pentagon debriefings of the prisoners who returned from Vietnam are now classified and closed to the public under a statute enacted in the 1990s with McCains backing. He says this is to protect the privacy of former POWs and gives it as his reason for not making public his own debriefing.

But the law allows a returned prisoner to view his own file or to designate another person to view it. APBnews.com has repeatedly asked the senator for an interview for this article and for permission to view his debriefing documents. He has not responded.

I'll prove it as soon as McCain makes ALL of his records public. I wonder why he refuses........

No I don't wonder, but you should. I for one do not support the traitor.

If the so-called liberal media does not investigate the cross story, all right wingers need to shut the fuck up forever abouta liberal bias!!! This would mean that Mccain is getting the ultimate free pass. I hope McCain's story is true, because if it is not, he is one slimy scumbag!

That's the beauty of the thing Cabo Cocksuckero, it's difficult if not impossible to prove, just as were the allegations against Kerry in '04. That being said, these rumors and insinuations have been around since McAncient HAVE been circulating since we all came back from RVN. Ultimately, all of the Swiftboat lies against Kerry were disproved.


You're just not allowed to have it both ways despite the fact that Bush and Cheney have told you that you could.

Nothing has to be proven cabo. It only matters that the seed is planted, and the rumors start. This is the same baloney that was done to Kerry. It was a scumbag move then and it is a scumbag move now. But tough crap on the republicans this time.

I doubt any non-republican will cry foul very loud after last elections shenanigans. I almost want to say they deserve it except for the fact that Mccain did defend Kerry last time.

I love it. Ask these looney libs to back up what they are saying and the resort to name caling and deflection. AAAAWWWWW the lib way.

PROVE he is a traitor. Quit flapping your jibs and show us some proof.

Ok, A friend of mine from Illnois says it is a well know fact that Mchelle Obama was a teenage prostitute. Using your logic, this must be true?

As I said it does not have to be proven or for that matter true. The rumor is out their already, so the responsibility in this case is for you to prove it is not true. Otherwise the rumor persists.

PS. I don't like this kind of politics, I am only commenting on what I see.

What goes around comes around. This could be funny as shit watching the same righties who took what Sampley said as gospel about Kerry calling him now a liar.

too fucking funny!!!!

The stupid is indeed strong in this one, it is.

We have nothing to either prove or defend, noone on the left wrote the stuff that the Swiftboaters are putting out there, these are your own people.

As for calling you names, you're clearly or perhaps queerly voted for Bush twice, so you deserve far worse than ugly names. Your ass belongs in Gitmo.

Hey Cabo asshole, now you know how John Kerry felt 4 years ago. proove to anyone Kerry was lying. In fact, T Boone Pickens who offered 1 million to anyone who could proove the Kerry accusations were lies, withdrew his bet after several vets and reporters documented that they were lies.

But these are not lies.

John McCain let his fellow soilders die in order to save his own ass.

And he is still doing it to this day.

John McCain was one of the worst airmen that this country has ever had and aided the enemy during a time of war.

It's just time to admit that fact.

Chickens may be coming home to roost for McCain

Chickens may be coming home to roost for McCain

Chickens won't go anywhere near him AofT, it's the old man smell.

I LOVE IT... DEFLECTING.........

WOW, more name calling....

Keep the facts rolling in here boys.

He is going to have to face these charges eventually.

I can see it now though. McCain being rolled out in St. Paul in a bamboo bird cage singing "These Lips Are Made for Talking".

McCain needs to held accountable for his actions and stop trying to hide his past by keeping records secret.

What is he hiding?

LOVE IT... DEFLECTING.........

I would just like some proof. You nutjobs are saying all this shit and you all seem to believe eachother without question. Looks like a bandwagon for the blind and stupid to me.

Of course he sang. Everyone that's tortured does. It's because torture works.

I want everyone to know that McCain talked due to torture. That way we can end this silly debate about the merits of Gitmo and Abu Graihb.

In a bit of a dry patch aren't we, Kinger? :-)

Well, he made propaganda radio broadcasts.

These are well known.

He admits in his own book that he gave military secrets away for special treatment.

He got treated differently than other POWs.

This is all common knowledge, but I can understand how it would escape a fellow like you.

Role reversal is a nasty bitch, ain't it?

Jane McCain! Jane McCain! Jane McCain!

"I ain't fonda John" urinal targets on sale now!

I am sure you kow more about role reversal than I do sweetie.

FF 101

This just goes to show that only racists and tratiors support John McCain.

You know who you are......

Why is that path?? Please explain this to me.

""""PROVE IT !!!!!!!!!""""

Who cares? They just need to smear the fucker with enough shit that even the trollop won't want him. Or is cunt, I forget.

Sing little birdy.

Lighten up on Cabo, guys. He's just hear to earn enough points for the autographed "John MCain was a POW" toaster oven. We can expect a current of newbie Mcsamey's popping up, telling us how Mcsame is for and against most everything, depending on which mansion's kitchen table he's at....

"Role reversal is a nasty bitch, ain't it?"

Except McCain and the people running his campaign aren't total pussies like Kerry was. McCain's POW experience is an area where most people sympathize with him. In their wildest dreams, the GOP couldn't imagine that the Dems would be stupid enough to latch onto this. I don't think Obama is that stupid but if his supporters latch onto this kind of nonsense, the GOP will use it to their favor.

McCain is a total moron who suppports failed policy in the present and you people want to go after him on 40 year old issue where you are certain to lose just because you can't get over Kerry's inability to defend himself.....

The Dems always find a way.....

Good bye sheep.

I would just like some proof.

They took me up into one of the interrogation rooms, and for the next 12 hours we wrote and rewrote. The North Vietnamese interrogator, who was pretty stupid, wrote the final confession, and I signed it. It was in their language, and spoke about black crimes, and other generalities. It was unacceptable to them. But I felt just terrible about it. I kept saying to myself, "Oh, God, I really didn't have any choice." I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine.

www.usnews.com

"McCain is a total moron who suppports failed policy in the present and you people want to go after him on 40 year old issue where you are certain to lose just because you can't get over Kerry's inability to defend himself....."

I agree with this. It's just stupid. There is more than enough in McCain's proven record, especially since 1980 and his transformation into a Bush sycophant, without going into this minefield of unproven accusations which might very well generate sympathy for McCain.

Hey you left wing sheep should be happy after all the Messiah has come to Denver to save us all. Just look at all the Super Heroes he has with him Ted Kennedy the Drunk murderer, Nancy Pelosi the Obstructionist, hell half of Hollyweird will be there even George Looney will be kissing some BHO @ss. After the convention I hear there will be one giant circle jerk headed up by Hugo's buddy Sean Penis. With news like that you libs should be dancing in the streets celebrating the second coming of Christ except danni of course who is an atheist.

"He said that the Republican senator ignored credible evidence that American POWs were still alive in Southeast Asia."

I don't know IF any or how many MIAs or POWs might still be alive in Vietnam. But having spent many years in the Orient, I believe they are there because they WANT to be there.

ATAXPAYER

Your 'heros', Bush and Cheney, are speaking on Labor Day Monday night so most of America won't see them.

Half the GOP Congressmen are not attending the GOP convention lest they be associated with the band of corrupt liars who are the standard bearers of the GOP torch.

911. POW. War. All you have. Three characters.

A bunch of characters indeed.

Fortunately for me I would rather be at the DNC where all the celebrities are.You libs are pathetic why don't you just let Hollyweird vote for you and save yourself the hassle of voting...

McBush is indeed getting the ultimate free pass. Once the Boys On The Bus start pushing him a little, once they ask for comment on the oh-so-many skeletons in the closets of Cindy's assorted mansions, the old feller will implode. He will either lose it on camera or forget what he was talking about. OUR ultimate secret weapon. herm

"McCain turned his back on the families of the MIA's just like Bush is turning his back on the first responders in New York."

Why so hard on yourself brokeback?

Personally I don't believe anything any of the Swift boat Liars had or have to say. they were liars in 2004...
Again the idiot operative word "liar". Tell us the lies in 2004, like Kerry threw someone elses medals onto the WH lawn, Kerry called all those who served in vietnam 'war criminals'.

Here's the republican strategy team brainstorming on a response:

www.youtube.com

Some recent headlines:

"Group tied to al-Qaida backs McCain for prez"

"McCain fortune traced to organized crime"

"Influence peddling claims dog McCain"

"John McCain funded by Soros since 2001"

"McCain aide touts 'Mexico first' policy"

So they come from from The National Enquirer or one of those imaginary lefties we see so many of on TV News and the MSM, don't they? No, they come from the right wing propagandist World Nut Daily, January thru March 2008, and the author is the king of the swiftboaters himself, Jerome Corsi.

Now one of his minions attacks McCain about Vietnam POWs. It's all BS as it was when they used it against Kerry but if it worked then as it did with the help of FOX and rightwingradio then they figure it might again. If you say this makes no sense at all then I agree but it's the Rethugs, so anything's possible.

Having failed to stop his nomination they are now resorting to the kind of tactics against McCain that they fantasized that Hillary would use against Obama.

The right has become so screwed up that they are now attacking each other with the same scummy tactics that Bush and Rove used against McCain in 2000 and that they usually reserve for Democrats.

I remember those lies like they were just yesterday. You see, I was on patrol, and aambush actually, in Cambodia. Christmas Eve if I recall. Anyhow, my plan was in it's infancy back then. I was going to need to generate some buzz for myself, and shooting that retarded dink in the back wasn't going to cut it. I needed to...Oh, where was I? Yeah, yeah, Cambodia...

Sincerely,
John Heinz Kerry, Vietnam Vet

Sorry 101, all that has now been thoroughly debunked.

Reagan...The Cambodia story is 100% true (well the fact he said it was seared in his memory is true).

He did shoot a vc teenager in the back too.

Why don't you tell me what you believe was debunked?

"I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared -- seared -- in me."

Here is my feelings, both John Kerry and John McCain have one more day of combat, one more day of boot camp and one more day of willing to lay down their lives for America than all the right wing CHICKENHAWK, COWARDLY, FLAG WAVING REPTILES combined such as Rush (I gotta pimple on my fat smelly ass) Limbaugh, Dick (5 deferment) Cheney, George (aWol) Bush, Sean (I praise the vets and wave the flag as long as my sorry no account ass ever has to go to war) Hannity, Mark (BIG NOSE, CHRIST KILLING) Levin, and Bill (KING OF THE CHICKENHAWKS) O'Reilly.

Angeloftroof is fucking crazy.

But spot on!

Here is a good link from the CIA Files on McCains' POW experience.

~Angel o' Truth

Irony is a dish best served chilled with cool whip on the top.

Sprinkles are a nice touch as well.

The accusations that John McCain sold out the PoW's in 'Nam in order to cover up the fact that he got preferential treatment whilst a PoW are prolly over-stated if not completely false.

That sed, watching John McCain, again today, mouthing words of support fer the troops and the vets while his own voting record belies him was a less than enjoyable experience.

Talk minus Action equals Less than Nothing.

John McCain skipped close to a dozen votes on Iraq, and on at least another 10 occasions, he voted against arming and equipping the troops, providing adequate rest for the troops between deployments and for health care or other benefits for veterans.

www.veteransforcommonsense.org

Be Well.

His fellow POWs have been calling him out since he was a POW who got special treatment for providing information to the enemy.
more raghead propaganda.

I would hardly call being tortured to within an inch of his life as "preferential treatment."

Also, he WAS offered preferential treatment, and refused - he refused to be released prior to other POW's who had been detained longer.

Everytime I see this weird stuff written about McCain, All I hear are all the Obama Supporters saying 'that is a distratction, the American People are suffering and need answers, we need to discuss the issues"..Okay, where are you now? This seems like a distraction, If this is Okay, then so is William Aires, Tony Resko, Pastor Wright, Father Pflager, his birth certificate, Attending an Islamic School, Michelle being a militant cracker-hater...is that enough?

I would hardly call being tortured to within an inch of his life as "preferential treatment."

Odd that you should bring up John McCain and torture. Spud remembers giving kudos to McCain at one of the debates back when the GOP field was still in double digits. McCain basically sed that torture was wrong and unAmerican. Recieved by the sound of crickets. The bloodthirsty audience back then was salivating over the double guantanimos promised by Mittens and Rudy's enthusiasm fer amoral methods and did not wanna hear McCain.

McCain got the message. Got back on board the Neo-Con express and dedicated himself to passing the MCA. The Military Commisions Act was sold to the public as being some kind of compromise solution between abiding by the Geneva Conventions and still giving the executive branch the power it sed it needed. The former got lip service and the latter got wot it wanted.

The MCA sez that "American intelligence operatives attempting to thwart terrorist attacks can legally use interrogation methods that might otherwise be prohibited under international law."

In other words fuck the Geneva Conventions, it's torture and it's legal, and John "I was a POW who got tortured" McCain helped make it a reality.

No kudos fer Johnnyboy now.

He's sold his soul to the devil.

He's as bad as Bush.

www.salon.com

Spud,

Your criticisms regarding McCain's 'evolving' positions regarding torture are apt.


I merely took issue with your statement that McCain was given preferential treatment, given what he endured.

You went off in a completely different direction.

You should talk to McCain and his fellow POWs then Jeff.

Even McCain admits that he was given preferential treatment.

"Zorba" took my pulse again, and repeated, "It's too late." They got up and left, and I lapsed into unconsciousness.

Sometime later, "The Bug" came rushing into the room, shouting, "Your father is a big admiral; now we take you to the hospital."

I tell the story to make this point: There were hardly any amputees among the prisoners who came back because the North Vietnamese just would not give medical treatment to someone who was badly injuredthey weren't going to waste their time. For one thing, in the transition from the kind of life we lead in America to the filth and dirt and infection, it would be very difficult for a guy to live anyway. In fact, my treatment in the hospital almost killed me.

Daddy's little boy got treated better than the rest. These are his own words Jeff.

"Pat Boone, conservative"

Spud was riffing.

Point being that we don't know fer certain wot went on in Nam while he was imprisoned and his "reticent to talk about his experiences as a PoW" schtick has recently gone to shit as he's been using the term "PoW" more than Rudy and Bush combined used "9/11".

Spud's not completely alone in this whole "McCain overplays PoW Card" thingy, btw.

McCain is perilously close to turning his POW record into a punchline. And it's not just that he's playing this card too many times, on issues completely unrelated to his war record. In this case, he's turning his war experience -- which is incredible -- into a generic grumpy old man story about how tough it was in the old days: In my day, we didn't have a kitchen table! We just sat around and ate on the dirt, and that's the way it was and we liked it!

blogs.tnr.com

MCCAIN: HERE'S THE POW CARD AGAIN

firstread.msnbc.msn.com

Luffed Maureen Dowd's take as well.

So its hard to believe that John McCain is now in danger of exceeding his credit limit on the equivalent of an American Express black card. His campaign is cheapening his greatest strength and making a mockery of his already dubious claim that hes reticent to talk about his P.O.W. experience by flashing the P.O.W. card to rebut any criticism, no matter how unrelated. The captivity is already amply displayed in posters and TV advertisements.

Yeah, that's what he said.

Add Patricia Heaton to the list of conservative stars, also.

Onna,


A vast majority of Hollywood is liberal.


Let's look at your list:

Tom Selleck, conservative
Gary Sinise, conservative
Bo Derek, conservative
Charlton Heston, conversative
Bruce Willis, conservarive
Pat Boone, conservative
Chuck Norris, conservetive
Drew Carrey, conservative
Dick Clark, conservative
Mel Gibson, conservative
Kevin Costner, conservative
Tony Danza, conservative
Clint Eastwood, conservative
Jean-Claude Van Damme, conservative

On your list, Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson are the only ones who even get roles any more - and those are far fewer than what they used to be.

Gary Sinise currently stars in a TV show. That's about it.

Kevin Costner is not conservative, he use to be and then he saw the light anf left the dark side

Oh wait, no, he didn't say Heston was dead.

I know, Many.


Regardless, if what he got was "preferential treatment" I'd hate to see what constituted "non-preferential treatment."

Regardless, I think you get my point.

Regardless of who is dead, I think it's hilarious he would think that the political opinions of Van Damme or Tony Danza are relevant to that discussion. Who's next, Frank Stallone?

Charley Weaver, conservative

John McCain sold out his soul and long held principles to run for the WH. Here he is in 2003 adamantly opposing Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans - among the dozens of stances he's reversed himself on to pander to the right wing of the GOP base:

flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344">

'Regardless, if what he got was "preferential treatment" I'd hate to see what constituted "non-preferential treatment."'

Basically, he got better medical treatment at one point because he made a better bargaining chip than most prisoners. But Manypaths wants to pretend this means "daddy's boy" wasn't tortured and otherwise mistreated.


'Regardless, I think you get my point."

I doubt anyone who thinks this is a good strategy for attacking McCain has the sense to see anyone else's point. Making this topic a focal point of the election can only help McCain.

Hell, I really dislike the guy and I feel sorry for him when the subject of his time as a POW comes up.

What an estrogen laden tart.

Danforth:

Most of them are sensible conservatives who do not want to see women thrown into jail if Roe v Wade is overturned. they also do not like McCain bleive that birth control should be criminilized.

Wait untill McCain is confronted in one of the debates on his views on birth control between married couples. You think the gender gap is bad now?

Wow, someone just pointed out to me a passage in the late Alexandre Solzhenitsyn novel in 1973, "The Gulag" in this passage he tells the identical story of McCain's Cross story! McCain is a fan of Mr Solzhenitsyn. You would think this would have clicked with McCain in 1999 when he first remembered and mention his cross story.

check it out!!!

Wally Cox, conservative

Wally Cox be dead for over 30 years. He was funny as shit

He was Marlon Brando's best friend.

"Wally Cox, conservative"

Does that mean Underdog is a Republican?

As well as Mr. Peepers.

Mr Peepers or Mr Peebles (Magilla Gorilla)

man am I showing my age,lol

Hollyweird vote for.."

From the party that gave us Governor Schwartzenegger, representative Sonny Bono and President Bonzo Reagan.

Sigh, another rightwingnut fantasy busted.

Dewey Cox, Liberal

Sigh, another rightwingnut fantasy busted.


Don't forget F/H 9-11, or all of the Hollywood endorsements of Kerry in '04 and Obama in '08.

"Everytime I see this weird stuff written about McCain, All I hear are all the Obama Supporters saying 'that is a distratction, the American People are suffering and need answers, we need to discuss the issues"..Okay, where are you now? This seems like a distraction, If this is Okay, then so is William Aires, Tony Resko, Pastor Wright, Father Pflager, his birth certificate, Attending an Islamic School, Michelle being a militant cracker-hater...is that enough?"

I completely agree with you. None of that stuff is really relevant to the issues. I have no more respect for the people attacking McCain for his service than I did those who attacked John Kerry for his.
None of those attacks will fix the energy problems, pay down the deficit, fix health care, etc. etc.

SanAntonioChode-

Why do you care who I am addressing? If Onna has a problem with me making fun of his list of Hollywood conservatives, I'm sure he'll say something. Go put on a Spice Girls CD and chill.

When they were in tier right mind.

I hear McCain is being called a communist. Well, the Right states Obama is a communist. Seems like there are two communists running for president. Who could have imagined?

"Seems like there are two communists running for president. Who could have imagined?"

I have to agree with some above. I hear almost nothing from right-wing media that accords Obama even minimal respect. In fact, if they could use "Jack-the-Ripper" with a straight face to describe him I think they would.

So, the right has sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind. Remember, no matter what awful thing is said about McCain past this point, it's nothing more that what many of you rightists have already believed.

wait until the DNC releases the video of Cindy McCain banging McCain's son.

Angel-
Does she call him "whitey" in the throes of Oedipal passion?
If not, I'm not interested and you should be ashamed of spreading such a baseless rumor.

If only John would have kept it in the family, he'd be speaking at the DNC.

"Why? He was paying back the Vietnamese for keeping quiet about him."

What an asshole thing to say. Stick to war, not politics, Mr. Sampley.

Your two little adventures in politics were to slime and lie about war vets that didn't agree with you ideologically.(kerry in 2004, mccain now)

Way to fuck your own, douchebag.

Too bad McCain abandoned his first family, eh WisGod?

He did shoot a vc teenager in the back too.


Why don't you tell me what you believe was debunked?

Posted by 101Chairborne

How many teenagers were shot in the backs at Normandy or Iwo Jima?

Jesus fucking christ you fucking righturds would have lost WWII, all the Germans and Japs would have had to do was walk backwardsto you.

Is that the type of "military" training you had?

Thank god you are not in Iraq right now. I can see it now.... letting Osama Bin Laden get away solely because you can't shoot him in the back.

Let me put it this way to get my point across:

Imagine you had two chances to speak out in a public forum, and have the news run your story.

Would anyone here want their two moments of fame to be about sliming two war veterans? I wouldn't...

Sorry, if I see someone running away after shooting at me with an rpg...

I might shoot them in the back too. Kerry did the right thing.

Alexandrite-
You don't understand the metrics of this. It's OK to smear the service of any Democratic veteran, or the service of any Republican veteran who's running against "W".

It's OK for Republicans to smear anybody and anything as long as it's them doing the smearing. See them whine like any schoolyard bully when it's them on the receiving end.

Mcbushtwin would like to sell out the rest of us if given the chance.

lol, liberals love to claim Kerry wasn't "swiftboated" by a group of liars, but then they use another swiftboater to claim McCain is bad. Liberals just can't stand the fact that NO ONE can disprove their claims!

19 hours after reading this story for the first time, the irony is still amazingly delicious.

I'm just posting what a friend of mine who is a high up at the DNC told me. I find you a typical rwing double standard hypocrite to attack me. I wonder if Betlg is as passionate about the smears against Obama. But wait, I bet Betleg feels that if Limbaugh or other right wing LIARS say it it must be true, even without proof. By the way, I bet Cindy calls him something more kinky when she is getting drilled by McCain's son from behind

BETLEG, Get the f outta here you coward!!!!

"Libs can't stand the fact no one can disprove their claims...."

McCain disproved the claims against him? Just waiting.

I hope he can. Did you know that McCain was a POW??

too funny

John McCain's positions on the issues is more than enough to defeat him we don't need to dredge up lies about his past, we can defeat him on his flip flops on important issues of today.

That was also true with Bush in 2004.

Posted by fribo

back in 2004 Bush's approval was over 50% and terrorsism was the top issue.

Today, Bush has the mantle as the US most unpopular President in history who will probably be tried as a war criminal as more and more of the truth comes out. GOP policies are found repugnent by a majority of voters this here. Accept the fact, righty that you all are in your final throes of power and the nation is shifting away from your bullshit. look at polling in 1980. Clearly the nation was done with Carter and yet the polls were tied up until the final week before the election

There are few innocents in politics but the real tragedy is when our brave men and women that wear the US uniform are left behind.

There is an EXCELLENT documentary that clearly explains how Sen. Kerry and Sen. McCain participated in preventing possible soldiers POWs/survivors of past wars from being investigated and perhaps rescued.

The film is titled, Missing: Presumed Dead.

It is a must-see film. Whatever your political party, you know what? It does not matter, what matters is that we honor our vets and if the USA needs to start another war to save our soldiers - then so be it.

Please see this film and pass it on...

Missing: Presumed Dead

Its excellent!

Best to us all in these very strange times.

"very strange times"

Missed 1967?

While I'm at it,
