Bilgeman - circa 2004 I thought you were a lot smarter than that, Tom. Gimme a break. A 10-second sound byte, lifted out of context? If Kerry was expressing what the propagandist who snipped this claimed, there would have been a lot more material extracted. Maybe even *two* entire sentences or even a paragraph. This type of dirty trick is played on all sorts of public figures, including GWB and other right wing spokesmen, and it is always wrong as well as usually effective among folks who aren't very discerning. The reason the soundbyte is usually so short is that any more information would disprove the lie the propagandist is trying to promote. I thought several of the people high-fiving you below were a lot smarter as well. The only part you got right was that this politically charged item is way off topic and that you certainly did need to apologize for dumping it into the boating newsgroup. Any thing else he said does not excuse the damming of soldiers as stupid! |
