    Ok Decimon. I suppose you were there when the Kerry incident happened? Please, give your fellow veteran some tiny bit of respect. What kind of statement is "Mine is not opinion but reasoning"? Unless you were there on that particular day?
    For heavens sakes,


    Abner :)

    It is much because I wasn't there that mine is not opinion but reasoning.

    I guess that can be argued either way, can't it!


    Take care,

    Okay. As you wish... on both counts. So does this mean you'll be riding on the short bus from now on?

    Ohgod, Jimmy... please. He was criticized -- and, yes, by some blamed for losing the election -- because he didn't go on the offensive as soon or as effectively as he should have. We never turned on him as you're describing, or for the reasons you suggest. Kerry is still a major player in the Democratic party who sends emails frequently to party members to get them all fired-up. I get them myself, all the time.

    See, this is exactly the kind of misleading, ever-so-slightly-reality-shifted misrepresentation in which conservatives (and, yes, you are a conservative, despite your inane denials) engage. Just close enough to the truth that there can be plausible deniability if someone calls you on it; and just far enough from the truth to accomplish conservative, slight-of-hand-like, misinformation-laden, intentionally-misleading and hopefully-damaging-to-Democrats goals.

    Oh, yeah... that's the problem.

    Then there was your mistake. Lay into them because they're wrong, not because they don't agree with you (even though those two things are often one-in-the-same).

    For now, anyway. Keep electing the likes of Bush43 and that could all change. I have been in some countries where that has been the case.

    Well, I'll certainly agree with that... even though it's got nothing to do with what we're talking about. ;)

    And logical reasoning, too, in this case, I might add. It does stretch the imagination to suggest that Kerry, in that role, at that moment, could have been remembered by indigenous personnel. That said, it's inescapably true that the program aired on 20/20; that 20/20 is an ABC property; that ABC is a Disney property; and that Disney is about as conservative as it gets. There must have been something to it or Disney never would have let it air. And Disney does, despite its denials, have a say about what airs on ABC. Its interference both with programming and news content is becoming legendary. So there must be more to the story than your logical reasoning is allowing you to concede.

    I recall that 20/20 episode. I don't believe any villager actually immediately recognized John Kerry. What they testified was simply that a bunch of Americans in a boat came under fire at their village, and a fighter who attacked the Americans with a rocket launcher was killed.

    20/20 asked them if the fighter was an unarmed, "skinny little boy in a loincloth" as the Swift Boat Veterans for truth claimed (they also claim Kerry shot him in the back as he was fleeing). The villagers said "No, he was a big strong guy with a rocket launcher." I don't think they recognized anyone from pictures they were shown... except they said that some SBV people had been around before asking questions, and also showed them pictures. They certainly didn't seem like they were supporting any pro- or contra-John Kerry agenda. There was a war going on, and there was a big battle at their village, and that was basically it. As Ted Koppel pointed out, they didn't have a dog in the fight.

    Kindly don't insult and dehumanize the less fortunate in this country. This is purely insensitive and shows a lack of character and sensitivity on your part. Shame on you! :(

    Thanks for your comments Sir! I was quite elated when I saw this show, for once the truth came out!
