C-Span:idiot callers, Kerry is a traitor, Bush volunteered for Vietnam
is anyone listening to cspan. the right wing callers are so fucking stupid. they are lying about kerry and saying things like he tried to get out of going to vietnam more than once, that he is a traitor. one stupid woman said kerry just spent the entire time in a hospital.

and at least one dumb woman said bush volunteered for vietnam.

do these fools actually believe this shit ?

1. If you notice, CSPAN is no better than the others
They cut off Democratic callers as soon as they get off topic, but they allow Republican callers to rant on as long as they wish.

4. Good. Let them talk on
They only reveal themselves to be the assholes they are.

--

Do ya like the way they are raking Kerry for his leaving the military early while completely ignoring W*'s leaving early?

How about the caller wo said that Kerry probably injured himself?

Or the caller who said that he couldn't have been a very good soldier, because he kept getting injured.

:crazy: :puke: :crazy: :puke: :crazy: :puke: :crazy: :puke:

18. What a terrific award, the "Yellow Heart" - Does Cheney's have ...
... 5 drumstick clusters?

One for each deferment.

Seriously, that medal deserves its own thread.

2. Answer To Your Question: Yes They Do
However, you were right in your description of them. They are idiots and beginning in about 1975, the Republican party has been targeted the least and dimmest as their constituency. So, it's par for the course.

5. the
networks and all the other media outlets have learned that raging right-wing lunatic rants sell. They no longer care about mediocre things like truth and fairness. Besides its "sweeps week"

6. Yes They Do Believe It
This is why once we've sweated blood to build a progressive majority we need to one-up the drooling Reds with their gerrymandering: Sterilize them.

8. I had to stop listening. I can't believe there
are that many nuts out there. Some of the things they asserted were off the wall.

9. I heard it
They are just repeating what they hear on National Hate Radio.
I think that National Hate Radio is conducting a test to see just how bizarre they can be (morphing a war hero into a traitor, and a draft dodger into a war hero) and keep their brain washed base.

11. For cubesters: R callers repeatedly cited "4 months" -
that this is how long Kerry served in Vietnam and how did he get out so soon.

A male caller said Kerry tried numerous times for deferments before finally having to go to Vietnam. (this guy must not have seen Kerry's record showing his request to serve in Nam)

A female caller asked why do the Dems continue to select "Lame-o's" like Kerry and Clinton? She said Kerry "obviously" spent his whole Nam service time in the hospital since he got the three Purple Hearts, so what could he have done to help the country by being in the hospital the whole time.

Another female caller cited the Constitution and said Kerry is a traitor because he gave aid and comfort to the enemy during wartime by protesting after returning from Vietnam. She also condemned Hillary Clinton for recently being overseas and for not supporting Our Commander in Chief during Wartime. (she said) Idiots like Kerry and Hillary empower our enemies.

Generally, nothing positive came out of this segment.

13. Hillary went to meet with troops and see how things were going
she allowed them to ask questions and she listened to what they have to say. she actually stayed some days there. she didn't go in shame for a few minutes as bush did as he was shamed into going by hillary.

i have to say that veterans, firefighters etc are lucky to have hillary as a senator. i remember she was booed that time at the 9/11 charity concert event, but she has done a lot more to help them than most people. bush would have taken it personally and not helped them, in fact he STILL isn't helping them and providing for their needs. the same goes with the soldiers. she does these things because it's right. even if they treat her like crap she doesn't take it personally and take it out on them.

and when hillary went,laura bush said she would like to go there. well, go then. is anyone stopping her ?

16. Well...
the violent "lessons" our current leadership likes so much sometimes ring true with my inner demon. Maybe we should get some baseball bats and... no, no, no. Sorry, fighting off my other personality.

These people are idiots! Idiots! Idiots! Dumb, dumb, dumb! I cannot stand the ignorant.

Bush is the big-time traitor and scum-bag, wehter it's Vietnam era drinking and coke-snorting or more relevantly, today. He has given comfort to the enemy by providing us as targets to the psychos out there. Whether it's our military or our tourists, he has helped the recruiting of terrorists out far more than anyone else in history. I am off topic here, but I laugh at the people that tell me that other countries are more afraid to mess with the U.S. because of our invasion of Iraq??!! Huh??!!!
