Interesting they weren't doing this when whimpy ole' Clinton lobbed a few bombs over there.

You know, if they lived in a communist country they couldn't do that to the recruitment centers. I live by Lawrence, Ks. and they painted obscenities on the recruitment centers' windows.
I would love to see a bunch of military men kick the crap out of those picketers in front of Walter Reed.

I'm thinking: whatever his moonbat politics, Jack has great taste in clothes. No, really. That suit and tie sets off the Code Pink Playgirls real nice... almost like a bigamist's Easter family portrait.

Seriously, is there yet more to Moonbat Jack than meets the eye?

I find it truly hilarious that you half-wits on the right question Kerry's & Murtha's service records, but defend the president's lack of one in the Champaign unit of the Texas Air National Guard. You all claim to support the troops and like to point out that they're fighting for our freedoms, but when they dare express their opinion or criticize this administration they're attacked by cowards that never served or by people that have a partizan, republican agenda that never served WITH them. By the way, ANYONE that takes L. Brent Bozell, Luciaane Goldberg or the Swift Boat Liars seriously is a MORON.

Honestly, you right wing whackjobs have no honor or integrity! You bark about how much you "support the troops" yet trash veterans every chance you get! You people are trash, pure and simple!

No wonder there are more than 30 veterans running for Congress for the first time this year -- and all are DEMOCRATS.

My Republican Party has become one of style over substance, of talking a good game about the Services -- but never practicing what it preaches.

So, by pointing out the way Code Pinko moonbats are vandalizing recruitment centers... we're attacking the troops...

R-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght.

Friday must be the day they let the Special Ed kids use the internet.

Dang, who spilled the box of Cracker Jacks?

As for Murtha, by advocating the strategy the UN uses in the Ivory Coast situation, he should turn in his sword for his current actions. And he is known by the company he keeps, CODEPink.

The Moonbats love to point out George Bushs National Guard Service as inferior, but why dont they ever talk about Bill Clintons military service record? Bill is a Moonbat hero... Clinton fled to England where he protested against the war from foreign soil and even visted Moscow in December 1969 staying at an exclusive hotel usually reserved for foreign diplomats.

Al Gores military record consisted of sitting on airbase typing articles for Stars & Stripes and leaving early because he wanted to become a minister but flunked out.

Its not the military record or lack thereof that matters, it whether or not they actively work against America acting as traitors - as Clinton, Kerry, Gore and Murtha have.

No "V the K", reread my post - has NOTHING to do with Code Pink. The last time I checked they hadn't been awarded Purple Hearts, Murtha was. And now lowlifes like the Swift Boat scum and L. Brent Bozell are attacking HIM PERSONALLY. Is your head so far up your ass you can only read selected parts of the post???

And for "The General": Did Clinton's draft number ever come up? And what does he have to do with Chimpy not finishing HIS service requirements? If you or I decided to skip the balance of our service, we'd been put in JAIL, not sent off to work on one of our Daddy's Friend's campaigns.

Class- For you assignment, compare and contrasts Stevie's contention that attacking Murtha is unconscionable because Murtha is a decorated veteran with his willingness to describe the Swift Boat veterans as scum. Stevie, you can put your head on the desk.

Smokie - The reason I describe the Swift Boat people as SCUM is because that's exactly what they are. They're a bunch of HACK, RIGHT-WING LIARS that attack other patriots for POLITICAL reasons. NIXON's administration dug them up to deflect criticism of Nixon's bumbling in Viet Nam and Bob Novak & his ilk have been funding them ever since. Maybe a better term for the Swift Boat folks would be RATS - they turn on their own. Do you like that better?

If they were on the left I'd say the EXACT same thing about them.

"Class- For you assignment, compare and contrasts Stevie's contention that attacking Murtha is unconscionable because Murtha is a decorated veteran with his willingness to describe the Swift Boat veterans as scum. Stevie, you can put your head on the desk."

Actually, yes, I would call any veteran that attacks his/her fellow veterans scum. I called Kerry scum for insulting the honor of those he served with and I call John O'Neill scum for attacking Kerry at the request of Richard Nixon in the 70s and I'll call him scum again for attacking Kerry yet again to put George Bush in office. And yes, Bush did NOT see combat, whereas Murtha and Kerry did...so yes, regardless of whether or not I agree with them, I still hold them in higher esteem than those that attack them in order to make Bush and the neo-cons look good. And please do me a favor...get the FVCK off Clinton and Gore! They're not in office anymore and you have the Republicans and Bush to thank for all the screw-ups since 2000...INCLUDING 911!

Using your tautology Stevie and Sara, have you served the United States military in supporting the common defence?

Sara, if you'll allow me ...

No, Anna"ie", I haven't served in the military. but I do respect those who have. So much so that I wouldn't dare belittle someone's PURPLE HEART for purely political purposes, unlike L. Brent Bozell who also NEVER served. And expressing an opinion about a group of POLITICAL THUGS who happen to have served in the military doesn't require military service either.

And class, while you 're getting into your little yellow school bus to go to Michelle Malkin Jr. High, try to explain to your pal Smokie"ie" that LYING about Murtha's service record is what's truly unconscionable.

I wanna see the Left do one thing before they continue this "veterans are beyond question" bit: What exactly qualifies one as such? What makes guys like Jack Murtha and John Kerry immune from criticism for demanding the war be ended while John McCain is crucified for not wanting to cut and run? Why is it that Bush's records MUST be released, but demanding that Kerry and Murtha release theirs is an unforgivable crime?

And while we're at it, what requirements must be met before someone is "qualified" to agree or disagree with the war and how it is fought? The most common "qualification" I've seen is that a person has to serve on the frontlines in Iraq, yet whenever a soldier does come home and express disgust with the anti-war movement, he's considered a Bush stooge or a baby-killer.

Targetpractice, I NEVER suggested for a second that one couldn't or shouldn't ask questions or be critical about another's opinions. That's honest debate & something that both of us should agree upon - it's one of the great things about being Americans. I may not like your opinions but I'll defend your right to them until my last breath. EVERY American is entitled to an opinion on a war being waged in their names with their tax dollars - not just vets or active duty service people.

This may surprise you, but I happen to agree with the McCain/Powell "Pottery Barn" school of thought - that we've broken Iraq and we CAN NOT leave until we've rebuilt the place.

What I object to, though, is OUTRIGHT LYING about/slandering someone for political purposes. Anyone, left or right, that would stoop to that level IS a stooge and that includes O'Neil & company!!! Why is it so hard for you people on the right to understand that?

Tell you what, let's get Bush, Kerry and Murtha to release their records. Do you have a problem with that? I GUARANTEE YOU that GW does!!!

And as long as you brought up McCain, are you proud of the way he was treated by Bush & Rove in the South Carolina primary in 2000? Have they no shame? Is there an American hero that these lowlifes won't slander?

Oh dear I did mess that up. I apologize Steve. Dyslexia of the keyboard, typing too fast.

Now will you please stop lumping me in with a few who have attacked Murtha's past wartime record. I have not done so. What I have problems with is Murtha's 'cut&run' idea when as you say we have a responsibility to help the millions of Iraqis fix their country after we had to break it to kick out a genocidal dictator who had launched two wars of aggression against his neighbors[Iran and Kuwait]. In fact we have a moral responibility to do such, what is incredible is how many of the Iraqis are willing to forgive the United States for the mis-step after Desert Storm when Saddam suppressed the Sunni insurrection in the south and the United States did nothing except keep patrolling the No-Fly Zone.

Lets re-visit those vets who did speak up and say John Kerry was unfit. How did Sara describe them? Oh yes as scum. One of these less than sterling people is George 'Bud' Day who appeared in one of the Swiftboat ads. Day is not a Swiftie though but is a veteran of three wars. In 1942 he enlisted in the Marines and spent three years in the South Pacific. After WWII he got a degree, joined the Air National Guard, became a pilot, and flew combat in Korea. After Korea he joined the active duty Air Force and went to his third war, VietNam. In August 1967 Day's F-100 was hammered by ground fire. When he ejected his arm smased against the fuselage, breaking it in three places. He was captured and when he refused to talk under interrogation, the North VietNamese hung him from the rafters after staging a mock execution. On the fifth day of captivity Day, even though badly wounded, escaped and headed south. He evaded recapture for over twelve to fifteen days, Day lost track of time. He just missed being rescued when some Marine choppers airlifted a Marine unit out just before he got to the landing zone. Next day Day encountered an enemy patrol and after being shot in leg and hand, was recaptured. He was sent to the Hanoi Hilton, where James Stockdale and John McCain also spent time. One time the guards busted into a cell to stop a religious service, Day jumped up and started to sing the Star Spangled Banner into the barrel of a guard's gun. On March 6, 1976, after being released from captivity, George 'Bud' Day and James Stockdale were both awarded Medals of Honor for their courageous actions while POWs by President Gerald Ford. That is the kind of man who thought John Kerry was unfit and was willing to stake his good name by coming forward, to endure vitrolic attacks to ensure such a person as John Kerry would not be elected President.

In closing on this long post. Steve. President Bush has revealed all of his military records. John Kerry has so far has only released his initial military records when he was still an enlisted person in the Navy. None of his officer records have been released. If you look at the rank shown, it shows an E in front for enlisted. And I have never asked for Murtha's records, he did his time as a Marine well, just his recent actions I have problems with.

Anna, loved your well thought response! And I've be waiting for someone to mention Bud Day. I can't speak for Sara, but I have NEVER included Bud as one of the Swift Boat Thugs. I can understand why he feels the way he, and for that matter any other Viet Nam vet, does about Kerry, ESPECIALLY THE POWs. As far as I know, Day never questioned Kerry's medals or courage in the battlefield, but took great offense to Kerry's speech to congress in 1971. And that's fine & just. But what O'Neill, Jean Schmidt, Bob Novak and Bozell are up to is much different and they must be called on it.

And what does he have to do with Chimpy not finishing HIS service requirements?

Bush's required Texas ANG commitments required him to accumulate a total of 300 service points. He racked up over 900.

In moonbat math, this equates to "not finishing his commmitments." But wait, you've got those Mary Mapes MSWORD'72 memos to prove your point.

And even though the Swiftboat Vets are "Liars" and "Thugs," It seems odd both that Kerry revised his campaign bio after the SVFT came out. Also, interesting that "war hero" Kerry never released his complete military records for public scrutiny. He let a couple friendly reporters look at them, but they have never been released to the public.
