Reply #62: You remind me of a younger sister

who whenever I was winning an argument - would restate her side the say the "argument is ended" I think she quit this at around 13, but it was extremely annoying.

The fact is that BLM could do as she said - and there is a research thread here at DU. Her analogy with regards to the Wright issue is on target. Did you know Kerry spoke to the SBVT before the Firefighters. It was billed as his response - and as BLM says the media did not play it. What is amazing is that they gave HOURS to unknown people, even as they were caught in lies, but would not give time to the Democratic nominee, a US Senator who in the 1990s was once designated by Time as the most honest man in politics, and a man who the Navy gave two prestigious medals and 3 puple hearts to.

In fact, Kerry's service record was a clearer case than the Wright problems. Before the SBVT hit in August, Kerry had already given the media over a 100 pages of Navy records - the fitness reports spanned the entire interval and all were glowing. The media had played Nixon tapes just a week before around convention time that showed he investigated Kerry two years after the fact and found he was a cleancut war hero. The Navy gave him the medals. The Doug Brinkley book, written by an academic historian over which Kerry had no control backed Kerry 100% - and many future SBVT said good things about him. The media knew that everyone in his boat for any medal backed him.

Can you prove anything in your life better than this? Read that list and your only conclusion should be that it was a media condoned character assassination - one they are to some degree continuing by speaking of it in terms that do not 100% say it was a completely dishonest political attack. then they need to admit that they knowingly abetted it. Nice way to pay back the 25 year old kid who risked his life.
