1. Can't you give some snips or a flavor...
Since you've already been there? I hate to click through to her site, and won't without good reason.

Thx.

2. I just don't understand the Hillary obsession...
Edited on Wed Feb-18-04 05:17 PM by arcane1
they STILL think she's trying to get in the race:

"If Kerry should stumble, it will be very hard for Hillary Clinton to step in. She is the total opposite of the war hero image (vs only National Guard service)the DNC has worked so hard to promote. "


jeez, people, get over your guilt-ridden sexual attraction to Hillary already! She ain't running!!!

:eyes:

more:

"Hillary has to destroy the idea of Bush as CIC if she is to win. That's what this is all about."

and

"It's all insincere, smoke and mirrors crap...but there you go. The press will hold her up as 'just as strong as Bush on the War on Terror, just as committed to the troops'...something that cannot be said about ANY of the candidates.

See where this is going, yet???

No accidents"


they would be funny and silly, almost cute, if there weren't so many of them. I don't know ANY liberal who gives a rat's ass about Hillary, but the repubes can't seem to shut up about her :D

3. weird, is this true?
"Keep this in mind. Convicted D.C. sniper and serial killer John Muhammad served in the Louisiana National Guard from 1978 to 1985. He was twice court-martialed, once for striking an officer, another time for stealing. He was AWOL and spent time in the jail. Muhammad left the National Guard with an honorable discharge. "

4. If only society had nipped *'s crime spree in the bud 30 years ago.
He'd probably be a small time hustler walking the streets and assaulting the occasional, unfortunate victim. But we wouldn't have had a stolen election and thousands dead for Halliburton's fun and profit. :mad:

8. Actually, he would probably be an big-time scam artist and crook ...
Like his brother Neil Bu$h.

5. At the very least
it doesn't put the National Guard in a good light.

I mean, what does an "honorable discharge" mean if you're going to "Honorably Discharge" someone who was court-martialed. :crazy:

This guy is not helping his point by bringing that up.

6. Yes, it is true...
I found this on a web site but the site isn't exactly known for it's "Fair and Balanced" reporting of the facts.


<snip>
he served nine years with the Louisiana National Guard at Baton Rouge.

According to records provided to The Associated Press by the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Muhammad was formally disciplined twice while serving with the Louisiana National Guard's 769th Engineer Battalion.

In the more serious of the two summary courts-martial, Muhammad was convicted in April 1983 of violating the Louisiana Code of Military Justice for striking a noncommissioned officer in the head while on duty in August 1982. He was fined $100 and sentenced to seven days confinement, although the confinement was suspended.

In an August 1982 summary court-martial, he pleaded guilty to willfully disobeying a lawful order of a noncommissioned officer by failing to appear on time for post police duty. He was fined $100 and demoted from the rank of sergeant to specialist 4.

<snip>

The portions of Muhammad's service records released Thursday do not say whether he received an honorable discharge when he left active duty. Privacy laws do not permit the government to release that information, officials said. In documents filed in Muhammad's first divorce, he said he was honorably discharged from the Army on April 25, 1994, after 15 years of service.

7. My father in law....
was in the national guard in NY and he went AWOL and was written up for fighting with another officer (too long of a story to discuss here) and got an "honorable discharge." It means nothing. He told me they give people "honorable discharges" to get people out of their hair and out of the Guard!

9. If only Hitler could run, they like his philosophies
AND he has a sterling service record, Iron Cross and all...

I'm sure there's more than one LDotter who wishes ole Adolf would come and save them from the "liberal scourge" the same way he did before.
