Again, you are too ****ing stupid to understand. Now, go back and READ
THE ORIGINAL POST. If it isn't painfully obvious to you which group of
swift boat vets are being talked about here, then you are indeed
beyond stupid.

Golly, bass, you have really picked up your Harry lessons well, as evidenced
by your constant stream of personal insult whenever you can't or don't want
to respond to a query.

I must apologize. I just get sick and tired of having to explain
things, which should be obvious to someone who feels the need to
interject into a thread. If someone is going to join a thread, it's my
feeling they should have at least an inkling about what they are
talking about.

Harry should be well pleased, imitation and flattery
and all that. Unfortunately, as with Harry, it does little to advance the
flow of information.

Your earlier post, to which you referred me with such vitriol, says only
"...other than what the
swift boat vets are being paid to say?" This is non-specific, as there are
two groups being paid to say different things.

No, there is only one group getting paid for their political views.
That makes your argument completely invalid.
My simple question is,
"which swift boat vets", posed for the reasons aforementioned. Now, I
gather from your positions on other matters that you are an unhesitating and
unquestioning Democrat supporter,

Once again, you are wrong. I've voted for Republicans, independents,
and Democrats before, and probably will again. I leave my mind open.

so I'm guessing that you just naturally
presume the anti-Kerry swift boat vets to be the paid group that is lying,
and that the other paid group is being truthful.

One of the group has already admitted that they told lies upon lies.
That would be proof. What proof do you have that the pro-Kerry swift
boat vets are lying? By the way, one group calls themselves the swift
boat vets, the others call themselves something else. This is yet
another clue that you should have picked up on, but failed. So again,
I had to answer dumb questions that didn't need to be asked.
I simply asked for a

clarification from you, that's all. If you're uncomfortable or
self-conscious having to state an unequivocal position, I guess I can
understand.

I've stated my case above. I truly hope you DO understand, but
somehow, I doubt it.

Actually, not all say he was good. One of the crewman states he was a
chicken****, who ran all the time. This appears to be a crewman who
served
several tours on the river boats.

Proof?

Pay attention to the news. Do not look to wrecked.boats for all your input.

But you haven't explained anything.

I'd love to see documentation on that. Although, I doubt seriously that all
Kerry's former crewmembers are paying their own way along the campaign
trail, in which case the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" would be the group
that is *not* being paid for their political views. Do you concur?

Gee, this is fun! No matter what or how I ask, you give the same tap-dance
answers, which say nothing. That might work in Georgia, but it is not
generally successful in serious conversation. Consequently, the only place
I encounter this tactic is in exchanges with you, or Harry, and some few
others on this NG.

seen no such documentation--and it is not for lack of a diligent search on my

Most sincerely,

Documentation that he claimed to commit these atrocities or that he
actually performed the deeds?

Sir:

I was wondering if you had managed to find the documentation to which you
referred last week.

Kerry admitted to performing or observing these acts himself on live
television. Now, either he is telling the truth and is guilty of war
crimes, or he lied about it which amounts to filing false claims. You
decide which.

Serious question: how long do you think it will take President Kerry to
clean up the awful mess left behind when Bush leaves the White House in
January? It's going to take years on the diplomatic front...and some
time to undo Bush's damage to the environment, to health care, to the
infrastructure...

It's going to take at least two terms of Kerry, two terms of Edwards or
Barack Obama and...well, after that, I probably won't care.
