(1) you're basing your case on some report that Kerry fired an M-79 'so close that fragments nearly hit his own people'.  

The M-79 round doesn't arm until it's 14 m out - you have to be 50 feet away before the round will go off.  Its ECR is only 5 m.   That's pretty much built in design feature.  What you're claiming is somewhat more likely than alien kidnapping, but not a lot.

(2)  Do you know where George Bush was for his heroic ANG drills?  If you do, why don't you tell him?  Because he doesn't seem to know.

(3) Do you know what "other priorities" Dick Cheney had that were more important than putting his chicken money where his hawk mouth is?

(4) Rush Limbaugh was 4F for a pilonoidal cyst.  I was on active duty next to a man with the same problem.  Didn't stop him.  Rush Limbaugh claims Fox is faking Parkinson's disease.  Fox lost his career to this.  Looks to me like Limbaugh is the fake.

(5) So, now can you STFU?  Or do we have to deal with this for another 2 years?  If we have to keep going on about it, why don't we start with YOUR MOS?

"Rush Limbaugh was 4F for a pilonoidal cyst.  I was on active duty next to a man with the same problem.  Didn't stop him."

I've had a pilonoidal cyst on and off most of my adult life. Put me into surgury twice. Once for 3 weeks. They are not all the same and flare-ups can be severe.

"Rush Limbaugh claims Fox is faking Parkinson's disease.  Fox lost his career to this.  Looks to me like Limbaugh is the fake."

Limbaugh never said that. What he did say (in context) was that Fox's Parkinsons Disease symptoms had been under control as evidenced by his active acting career. Since his symptoms were obviously out of control, Limbaugh speculated that Fox was either acting for effect or off his Meds. Turns out that Fox's medications were indeed out of balance. Fox has admitted that he takes too much medication to get the sympathetic effect that he was going for.

0311, nxt quest: No I don't have a combat ribbon nxt quest: E3

I volunteered, did my time in the 3rd Marine Div, went/did what they told me and kept out of trouble.  My history doesn't matter.

Kerry ran as a war hero so he is fair game.  Bush did not run on his military record.  Dan Rather tried to smear Bush w/false docs.

Everyone should read the book [Unfit to Command] before totally dismissing it.

sitting on his ass most of HIS life.

The larger point being that fucking 4Fs have no business second-guessing other people's medals.

I don't think Kerry pushed his record.   It's unavoidable, the media will talk about it, and I'm sure there were Democratic ads mentioning it.  But I don't think that was what he ran on.

The people who brought it up were the SwiftBoaters.

The MO and purpose was obvious:  To distract the Kerry campaign with bullshit, instead of allowing him space and time to talk about real issues.  I agree, it's BS, but Republiscum do it all the time, and there's not much choice but answer.

There's some reasonable question about WTF Bush was doing in AL.   There's ALWAYS a reasonable question about what went on in combat.   What's unquestionable is that Bush's record is not going to look good next to Kerry's.  So this is just not something that Bush can look good doing.  So what he has to do is insulate himself from it - BUT NOTICE - he NEVER pulled the plug on it.  All he would have had to do is issue the order, but he didn't.

Just like, all he has to do is release his record, and stop the talk about his service.

But Bush doesn't do this.  Bush is not an original or thoughtful fellow - he does what the RNC tells him to.

The RNC has learned, particularly with Limblob, that if you sling enough shit hard and long enough, some will stick.   They can say the most outrageous things (just look at Pat Fucking Robertson) and some idiot will pay money to hear it.

So what does the RNC have to lose here?  

Now, we have to balance our sources here.  On the one hand, we have this book that is, charitably, written in the heat of a political campaign.  OK, so it was financed by the RNC.  

On the other hand, we had this jg that goes and get himself 3 PHs a silver and brnze star in 120 days, and the Pentagon bureaucracy handles it all.

What do you believe, the Pentagon bureaucracy 5X over?  Or a book financed by partisans in a political campaign?

Now you have a point here, what kind of wound does a guy get that leaves him walking around?  The answer is, a damn lucky one.   No, people don't put themselves in for medals, not even in the Navy.  And especially not some jg.  How the hell did he get THREE?  Well, he's too stupid to keep his head down.   Do you believe that?  I think he's more likely oblivious to personal danger.  There are enough people like that; I've seen several who just didn't give a shit & kept a cool head.  Maybe they don't know they could die.  Maybe they just don't care.  Maybe they're nuts.

So the Pentagon gave this jg 5 medals in 120 days.  That's exceptional.  That's a fellow you want around when the shit hits the fan.   If you want to attack those, you don't get some political partisan to write a smear hachet job; it's just not credible.   What you do, is collect your evidence and take it to the Pentagon, and see if they want to amend their records.

Note in the link that Republican McCain came out and told Bush the SwiftBoat campaign was dishonest and dishonorable; and Bush ignored him.

McCain has a mind of his own; Bush doesn't.  I can respect McCain.  Bush makes me retch.  For one thing, I don't want the CinC to be somebody who can't remember things.

If you're worried about Dan Rather smearing Bush, ask yourself this:  why doesn't Bush put it all to sleep by releasing his record?  We all know why.

BTW I was TAD to M 3/4 as an 0802 FO on my 1st FMF tour.

What Fox said was that he was overmedicated, which DOES NOT get that effect, but necessary to allow him to talk.  IOW, you have it 180 out.

It helps to cite your source.  Limblob's words were that Fox was 'acting or not on meds'.  Fox's career is limited to what he can tape under medical control.

Where are YOUR sources?  I mean, apart from your drug addict entertainer Limbaugh?

"I don't think Kerry pushed his record."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. If you are serious then maybe you should just stop thinking.
From Kerry's 2004 Presidential acceptance speech...

**while saluting** I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty ....

Read his frick'in speech

http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/convention2004/johnkerry2004dnc.htm

Limbaugh is an admitted drug addict, and been arrested for illegal transportation and use of drugs.  A person like that has no room to criticize people on moral issues; but he does it anyway, because it gets him money and power, and nothing else matters to a Republiscum.

Limbaugh has tried to avoid criticism repreatedly by claiming to be an "entertainer".  IOW, you can't trust what he's saying.  Well, DUH.

Your drifting off topic again. Try harder to focus.

If your going to try to rebutt my statements, please READ them first (i.e. my last sentence, which states that he had taken too much medication.) That's what over-medicated means by the way.

Read his book. I'd buy you a copy but I have to work for a living.

That drug-addict name and those words don't belong in the same sentence.

Fox said his over-medication does not produce, but in fact over-suppresses the symptoms.

Limbaugh has been associated with too much hysteria for too long to have any credibility.  He's a drug addict, and a law-breaker who makes his living carping about the possibility that other people might do exactly what he does.   When asked about responsibility for the accuracy of his statements, he has repeatedly shrugged it off, saying that he's "an entertainer".

That's the way he sees this, as entertainment.  That you should take him seriously says something about your own credibility.

Limbaugh's just another Republiscum.

Fox is advocating stem cell research in the possibility that it may lead to cures for disease.

Limbaugh rebuts this by saying that Fox is a faker.

Is *THAT* the conservative rebuttal, their defense against scientific research?

Let's back up a minute.  COnservative opposition to stem cell research is based in their ideological beliefs.   Why can't they defend that issue directly?  Is it because they believe that thier values won't withstand scrutiny?

Let's be charitable, and assume they just believe that abortionists are murderers.  If that's their belief, what's the sense in talking about it?  What's to compromise here?   Why don't we just go to war, and see who can kill enough ot the other until somebody gets sick of it?

Do you even know that they aren't all the same?

Your other faux debates deserve no response.

You won't defend on the merits of your argument, so what's the point in trying to talk?  

Why don't we just tell the medical clinics that they have a reasonable fear of abortion protesters, and may shoot to kill?

are you trying to defend that draft-dodging, fairy assed cheerleading president who fucking doesn't remember where he was, but he can sure as shit work out his penis envy complaining about somebody else's record?

This says it all: http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/D/f/bush_college_cheerleader.jpg

claiming other people are doing precisely what you're doing.   You're learning well from your fairy failure President.
