Do you say that like it was bad thing, or not? It was how the McGovern campaign wanted to be viewed and it lost him the election. If you were a Nixon supporter it was a "good thing". If you were a McGovern supporter it was a "good thing". If you were a Democrat without a Presidential candidate to vote for, it was a "bad thing" (he wasn't the best choice the Democrats had available in 1972). |

That's got to be one sore knife arm he's got there. Even if it seems most of his victims survived. Did he personally stab _everyone_ in _every_ military? I know a fair few UK folk who were serving at the time, who never mentioned having some Yank with political ambitions jab them in the back with anything sharp. Indeed, if he was going around stabbing North Vietnamese, Red Russian and Yellow Chinese military in the back, doesn't that make him a hero? Okay, maybe you assumed that only the United States has a military, fair enough. Is the new test for "were you really in the US military" showing the scar where Kerry personally stabbed you? No scar, no service? (Can't abide the guy, personally, but I don't think he's actually knifed many people - there's more than enough to knock him for without inventing stuff.) -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

If Americans in Somalia were inspired by Clinton to committ crimes then Clinton would be just as responsible for those crimes as Bush would be for crimes he inspired at Abu Graib. Blah,blah, blah. You politically motivated zelots won't ever stop. The issue wasn't the ridiculous notion you've put fourth above, it was one of "ultimate responsibility" versus "personal responsibility". Your fellow left wing lunatic said Bush was "personally responsible" for Abu Garib because he was CinC. When I applied that litmus test to the fiasco of Somalia circa 1993, he claimed Clinton was not responsible *at all* (ultimately or personally), instead he placed blame on Bush 41. If this is sound reasoning to you (and I'm quite sure it will be) you are short on the ability to think rationally.

In article , (Fred the Red Shirt) wrote: (B2431) wrote in message ... Look, whether Bush served as much or as little as he said is of no import. At least he never stabbed us in the back as did Kerry. And he did serve in the TANG. Whom did Kerry ever stab in the back? How about pretty much every single person serving in the military during the late '60s and early '70s. No. How about if you try again, or offer an explanation? I am confident that you can write more than one sentence and combine those sentences into coherent paragraphs which may serve as the start of an intelligent discussion. Please don't prove me wrong. -- FF |
