#8 Toll defense mechanism #1: deflection.

In true toll victimhood mentality, when toll hero is overwhelmingly and convincingly reduce to cow crap, blame the other person.

#9 I just popped off a $ 100 contribution to the Swift Boat Veterans ForTruth organization in honor of my Democratic father who served as a 2nd lieutenant during WWII. Although an ethnic FDR dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, he would be absolutely INCENSED at how these guys are getting eviscerated by the NY Times, et al., for upholding the honor of the armed forces.

I challenge you to do the same. Go to:
https://www.swiftvets.com/swift/ccdonation.php?op=donate&site=SwiftVets

Note: By meeting my challenge you will join me as part of the vast and nefarious web of right-wing Republican "attack dogs" doing the President's "dirty work" in the words of the liberal media and Mr. Kerry. Welcome aboard!

#14 I've heard some recommendations that Senator Horseface should apologize to all Vets for 1971. Well he can do it, but I a'int accepting Senator. Your a traitor for all time in my mind.

#15 Interesting--I went to check out the SwiftVets.com site, but typed in SwiftBoatVets.com instead, which redirected me to a Salon.com article slamming the Swift Vets. It's incredible the rage these Swift Vet ads have generated!

This should never be about an apology alone. It should be about doing the right thing, and in Kerry's case, asking John Ashcroft to commence an investigation into his activitites during and after Viet Nam.

The right thing is getting the name of his fellow travelers/traitors and finding out not only who funded them, but who distributed the money to the anti-war movment, in other words, the bring down our current antiwar movment by exposing the antiwar movment of the 60s and 70s.

I wanna know out of which bank their money came, who received the money and for what. Kerry can provide a lot of these answers now

#18 "Ranthamburger" wasn't bad. For a Democrat, anyway. Why don't they just disprove the allegations instead of spitting acid. Oh, that's right, because they're true ?

#20 I doubt Howard UK altho a fine gentleman could name 11 bars in Austin. :)

It's one of the Franks, Steves, or a geniume real-mccoy, which is what I am starting to believe.

#21 Wait a second.... Howard can cuss like noone I've ever seen, which implies a magnificient grasp of the language, a certain cadence as it were. You ever go to journalism school at UT Howard?

#22 "All your base..." (also "All yuor[sic] base..." is a fairly recent internet meme. It was a quite a little phenomenon a few years back, with sites dedicated to photoshopping images with this quote from a rather badly translated video game from the 80's.

It isn't a muckism that I've ever seen. More along the lines of another one: "You are teh[sic] suck".
("Launch all zig!")

#26 Kerry and Co have turned condemnation and intimidation into a moneymaker. WAY TO GO GUYZ!!!!!

Firesign Theatre Quote of the Day for the Kerry Campaign:

#27 #13 Bill, that would, perhaps, be Richard Mellon Scaife. Remember the media scrutiny he got back in '98 over his supposed financing of the entire Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?

He's the only conservative billionaire I can think of at the moment... at least by name.
