Actually, one of the (many) things that made me gag during the recent
election campaign was Kerry going on about "defending" his country. Who

were sweeping through New England?


No. Actually it was one wounded VC teenager who was fleeing for his life and
Kerry shot him in the back and received a SS.

Dave, I'm no Kerry fan, but he even if what you say above is correct (and I'm
pretty sure it isn't), that VC wasn't in New England, he was in Vietnam and
Kerry was in combat. Kerry might have gotten into the service for no more
reason than future good for political career and then "oops-ed" his way into
combat, but he didn't run or hide and at least some of his men still think he
was a "hero." Whatever else, that should say something to you - as always,
though, YMMV.

Do you suppose that some rational Democrats, (I assume there are a few

cause, and chose to ignore it?

I don't know why the press ignored it. Perhaps the Washington press corp
was afraid to offend a new president, perhaps the press thought it best to
supress news like this because it was best that we put a contentious
election behind us and "move on", maybe its even the reasoning you've
twisted up above (the only time I can recall that you've ever accused the
"left-wing" press of restraint). In any case, its not the press's
responsibility to filter news, other than for veracity. They report it, we
interpret it.


Grow up Scott.



George, even though there are clearly strong feelings on both sides of the
election that just passed (or is this a process that passed for an
election?) I try to keep my discourse noninflammatory, at least on a
personal level, and I'm sorry you choose not to do the same.

I'll ask you the same question I asked Tim. Did you see this footage? If
you did, perhaps you'd understand why I'm upset and shocked by the fact
that news coverage was so shielded. If you didn't, perhaps you should
consider reserving comment.

Get your head out of your ass, George.

It never ceases to amaze me that otherwise intelligent people can't seem to see
that some of the things they see as bolstering their cause, are the very things
that are causing them to lose credibility. Given the level of Bush's
vulnerability in this election, the fact that he actually gained support since
2000, should indicate fundamental problems in the Democratic party. If you
remove the "anybody but Bush" votes from the tally this year, I doubt Kerry got
35% of the popular vote as the candidate of choice.

Quit drinking the Kool Ade, and follow your own advice, Wolfgang.

I don't have the time or inclination to go any further with this, so you win.

I apologize for the personal remark...I was out of order. The remainder of the
post stands however.

you did, perhaps you'd understand why I'm upset and shocked by the fact

I didn't see the whole F-9/11 "documentary", but I did see the "demonstration"
part and thought it, as I said, to be childish and moronic. It may be that the
media decided not to present that face of our country to the rest of the world.
And yes, I believe there are responsible Democrats in and out of the media. I
just wish it was these folks who were in charge of the Democratic party.

EOT for me.
