1. I hope so. This crap might have flown in a state primary
against McCain, but few were paying attention. I think the bright lights of the larger stage are gonna start these straw dogs on fire. </extended metaphor>

2. I'll keep posting the IMPORTANT part of Kerry's testimony....
Kerry, the Congressional Record, 1971:

"Mr. Kerry: Well, Senator, frankly it does not appeal to me if American men have to continue to die when they don't have to, particularly when it seems the Government of this country is more concerned with the legality of where men sleep than it is with the legality of where they drop bombs. (Applause.)...

...But at the present moment that is not going to happen, so we are talking about men continuing to die for nothing and I think there is a tremendous moral question here which the Congress of the United States is ignoring...

...But I think if we can talk in this legislative body about filibustering for porkbarrel programs, then we should start now to talk about filibustering for the saving of lives and of our country. (Applause.)

And this, Mr. Chairman, is what we are trying to convey."

4. And make that comparison...
Rightwingnut LIE:

"They had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads..."

Actual TRUTH:

"They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads..."

And here's the soundbite I use:

KERRY SURE WAS STUPID WHEN HE AGREED TO HELP THOSE VETERANS. They ASKED him to represent him in Congress, and he AGREED to do so. He should have told those veterans to GET LOST and FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP them.

Then Nixon's and bush's SMEAR MAN wouldn't be lying now about Kerry and SMEARING ALL OUR VETERANS, PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.


No good deed goes unpunished...if the rightwingnuttery can help it. Bastards.

Kerry's speech;
