What is the dumbest Freeper talking point/controversy this campaign?
While many are laughing at the "He forgot Bulgaria!" controversy and the Kerry discharge nonsense, I still say the #1 pile of shit is:

"Kerry cheated at the debates by using notes! Oh wait, it was a pen? It was still cheating--he wasn't supposed to bring his own pen to the podium!"

1. Global Test!
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 02:52 AM by killbotfactory
Convincing the world* that our actions are just and right is soooo stupid! LOLZ~! Forget everything he just said, he really wants to give the UN** veto power over national security!

----

*World = France and Germany. Nobody else, damnit!
**Nevermind that the UN was right and Iraq wasn't a threat, blah blah blah. YAWN.

4. If we
fight em "over there" they will all leave Afganastan and the states, catching the first plane out to Iraq, thus we won't have to fight em here.

8. Brilliant strategery!
Let's destabalize a country with pourous borders in the middle of the Middle East, put a target on the back of over 100k military personel for anybody overthere with a grudge against the US and the ability to make a crude bomb or pick up a rifle, get our military bogged down in an unending guerilla war in a country on the brink of civil war, and piss off nearly the entire world in the process!

Yes! That's how you win the war on terror!

2. Cmon, you know it's the 'flip-flop'
Charges of Kerry's supposed inconsistencies have been fully discredited and yet wingnuts, up to and including *, continue to perpetuate this B.S.

7. the flip flop -- or accusing Kerry of da *ush sins
Like using Kerry's strength against him -- like the Swiftboat liars.

Or or or -- that Kerry didn't bleed enough -- and those damned band-aids with the purple hearts.

The chickenhawks telling Kerry that he just doesn't know how to lead.

Come to think of it -- *ush has never really been a leader. He failed in his business ventures -- was bought out by his daddy's friends.

Was elected as a figure head Governor -- in a state with a weak governor system.

And now we are told *ush is a leader -- and Kerry doesn't have what it takes to be a leader.

3. THK's tax records
They go on and on over it, but none can identify why anyone cares.

5. I still have to go with the suggestion that, 30 something years ago
in Vietnam, Kerry intentionally wounded himself. When Matthews smacked down Malkin on this issue it was a victory for those who believe that being "fair and balanced" doesn't mean that you treat truth and bullshit equally.

11. There's too many too chose from
The one that springs to mind is the whole "Edwards is a trial lawyer" - scaaaaary. Although, when it comes time to sue, the GOP loves trial lawyers.
