4. His handing out those purple heart stickers at the GOP convention was
sickening. He is a piece of garbage. Chicken-shit piece of shit hid from the service. Kerry went over there. And they managed to make him look bad somehow while making stupid 'Murcans think that he and that snake Bush** were heroes. Dirty bastards. Fucking media made it happen.

Sorry about the language folks, but his appearing at that convention put me over the edge.

12. You nailed it. The MEDIA made it happen.
BushInc couldn't have just done it without their corporate media cronies pulling the strings 24/7.

7. Cheney?!
Darth Cheney is a piece of shit. I thought he had "other priorities" back in the days of the Viet Nam war.

10. He can't explain why we went to war, or why we're still there
after all the reasons for going to war have been exposed as lies....all he can do is smear those who point out the truth.

14. Bwah! Irony! Today Fox Movies is showing...

The Purple Heart. (1944) The WWII agit-prop movie about the fate of an American bomber crew captured by the Japanese. With Dana Andrews.

I nearly fell off the couch when one of the defendants...from Brooklyn...gets up and quotes the Geneva Convention word-for-word:

"No civil court in the world can have jurisdiction over a prisoner of war!"

The Gitmo apologists would probably NOT like this old movie.

The blatant, in-your-face racism is amazing, even considering it was wartime. All the Japanese characters are stereotypes fabricated from pure cardboard.

The head judge (!!!) announces "Corregidor..." Excuse me, "CoLLegidor has fallen!" in the courtroom.

All the Japanese soldiers in court suddenly break into a choreographed, Busby Berkeley type dance while playing with their samurai swords.

My favorite is the Japanese officer who tries to goad Dana Andrews:

"What you think of your irrustrious Genalel MacArthur NOW? He escaped capture by lunning away!"

18. A POTUS who was himself an AWOL/DESERTER and
A VP who "better things to do with his life,".....they do the CON lemmings proud.

These 2-cowardly assholes alone should bring shame to our Nation yet the "Liberal Media," and the high-priced round-table entertainer attack a middle-aged MOM who wants her question WHY was her son killed for WHAT noble cause?


The Media whores are more concerned with their own personal social standing with the DC Corporate War Hogs.
