Vietnam

John Kerry, the oh so pompous…who is seeking some legacy other than the betrayal of his comrades in arms in Viet Nam, has decided to extend his treasonous activities to brand new generations of our servicemen and women. Kerry is despicable. Thank the Lord above that the honorable men of the Swift Boat Veterans had the courage of their convictions and stopped Kerry’s White House aspirations. As it turned out it only deferred us the disaster which is Barack Hussein Obama. Barry and Kerry deserve each other. They share the same yellow streak. Obama’s inability to make a decision to send the resources to Afghanistan that the field commanders in charge have determined are required to accomplish the mission, despite the advice of the finest military minds in the country, is irresponsible and well… it’s cowardly. Every two bit tinhorn  bad guy in the world sees Obama for what he is…weak, ineffectual, indecisive and therefore not to be feared. John Kerry has already proven his yellow creds…his shameless self promotion and the outright prevarication of his service record were and are an embarrassment to the entire officer corps of the US military. Except perhaps a Jack Murtha who gave his honor away long ago. Kerry’s appearance before Congress as a member of the Viet Nam Veterans against the war was a LITANY of untruths created of whole cloth…and an insult to hundreds of thousands of men and women who served during the Viet Nam era faithfully upholding the oaths they swore. Now John Kerry seeks to falsify another  LEGACY on the bodies of our honored dead. Every day that Obama stalls in his decision and every day that the BOMBASTIC Mr Kerry goes in front of the cameras to play out his seditious game at our military’s expense is a day there is American blood on his and  Obama’s hands. Clearly there is gross malfeasance at work in the administration and in the halls of Congress. How long will we allow these truly evil people to play with the lives of those for who they are not fit to carry water? The day of reckoning cannot come soon enough. The ballot box is our recourse…The nearest opportunity is 2010. Let them hear us loudly and clearly.

I think it's time to start a drinking game about the not so subtle Democratic character attack directed at McCain's military service credentials

Within hours of Obama claiming he honored John McCain's service and patriotism, yet another Demo-hack decided to take more shots in that direction

" an informal Obama adviser argued Monday that the former POW's isolation during the Vietnam War has hobbled the Arizona senator's capacity as a war-time leader.

“Sadly, Sen. McCain was not available during those times, and I say that with all due respect to him," said informal Obama adviser Rand Beers. "I think that the notion that the members of the Senate who were in the ground forces or who were ashore in Vietnam have a very different view of Vietnam  and the cost that you described than John McCain does because he was in isolation essentially for many of those years and did not experience the turmoil here or the challenges that were involved for those of us who served in Vietnam during the Vietnam war."

"So I think," he continued, "to some extent his national security experience in that regard is sadly limited and I think it is reflected in some of the ways that he thinks about how U.S. forces might be committed to conflicts around the world."

Now I suspect Mr. Beers never spent more time in captivity than maybe a besotted night in the Arlington County lockup, but needless to say, this time spent in Hanoi "sadly limited" Senator McCain.

I suppose by that score Nelson Mandela must be the most "limited" world statesmen of the past century, doncha think?

Also notice the faux yuppie sympathy herein "sadly limited".....is this the foreign policy version of "bitter people clinging to guns"?

Mr. Beers...your attack has fallen flat and now you can deal with the hangover, sudshead 

National Review says we are now up to eight Obama supporters who have attacked McCain's military service. http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/ None of them served with McCain and I suspect many have a rather "chickendove" record on military issues.  And do you think it's going to stop....hell no!

This is clearly a concerted effort by the Democrats to diminish the salience of McCain's military service so an unabashed peacenik doesn;t look so bad in comparison.

So, here's my drinking game. Every time one hears another Democrat talking head lecture us on the deficiencies of McCain's military record, we should go out a buy a six-pack of some fine domestically brewed lager. ......then again, me thinks we'll be switching to McDoul's soon since it will probably become an hourly occurrence.
