Questioning Kerry's wounds now...C-Span. How low are some Americans?
It's not enough to have VOLUNTEERED to go to Viet Nam. Now they want to pick apart his wounds and medals.

21. Ohio's unemployment rate is up 0.2% in the latest report
Ohio...an important state in this year's election with only three months until the election.

4. However he got his wounds
it had to be more courageous and patriotic than choking on a pretzel or falling of his bike...

PUHLEEZE!

5. this is what happens when they can't campaign on the issues
or on the bravery of THEIR guy.

This will backfire with many vets.

6. That's repulsive
Like when Coulter made Max Cleland out to be a fool for losing his arm and legs. Sickening.

8. Some Americans are PURE EVIL ...
I hate using that word. But by their own Biblical definition, they fit under that title.

They probably also say Cleland was incompetent...for he let his limbs be blown off. Yet Oliver North is a War Hero!

11. "Probably"????
Didn't Ann-Thrax write that Max was playing with a grenade in his hootch and it went off?
How much more hateful can you get?

My ESSO said "Who cares about her, she got fired" and I said Yes, but for every paper that tells her to "get HELP", 3 more pick her up because of the annonymous letters they get calling her a "fresh new POV"...

12. WHERE WAS GEORGE?
Really, let them keep on with this nonsense. Bring it on. Tell me exactly what G.W. and Chainsaw were doing while Kerry was fighting for this country. If they really want to lose this election, let 'em keep this crap up. Please, please, please!

13. I Agree
What a low life one has to be to complain that a guy wasn't SHOT BADLY ENOUGH! He was shot! That's it! Just being around flying bullets, shot by people with bad intentions toward you, is enough to deserve any medal a soldier or sailor gets.

To demean the nature of the wound is sheer idiocy.

15. spot on...
ask the caller about the last time they were gunned down in battle. Then, ask then about the time little George dared leave US borders to fight in the jungles or deserts.

No offense to ROOTS fans, but Bush needs a new moniker meme, and that meme is: Chicken George.

14. These callers are disgusting!
I want to know why nobody questions *'s National Guards records - the RW propaganda has brainwashed half of this country.

16. Obviously, its not even enough to nearly die and
lose three limbs. Remember what they did to Max Cleland?

They're sad, they really are. They've got NOTHING.

19. Well

Kerry got Purples Hearts

While Bush drank Purple Passion

They are trotting out their monkey burgler today with their "extreme makeover" crap. Once again, only people fooling for it are Conserva-tarians and the jesus freaks.

22. If somebody does that in your presence, just smile and say -
"...and how many combat medals does YOUR guy have from Vietnam?"

23. In Vietnam even a small scratch could become lethal
Staff was rampant and any open wound was worrisome. They don't know anything they are talking about.

24. Even If Not, Bandit. . .
. . .it doesn't matter. The guy got SHOT!!!!! These people are complaining that he wasn't shot badly enough! What could have happened from a wound is irrelevant. HE WAS SHOT!!! MORE THAN ONCE!
