Swiftboating - the Sequel
John Kerry now has a new shipmate .... John Murtha. And a deckhand in the person of Howard Dean. But from what I'm hearing, they want to go hard on the two strongest (from a military perspective)

Rove and Mehlman are firing shots across their bow. 'Cut and run' is the way they're phrasing it, but 'coward' is what these two lower-than-whale-shit motherfuckers are really saying. I saw Mehlman on some morning show today and he was as vitriolic as Ann Coulter might ever hope to be. His spew was targeted and white hot.

What Coulter herself started, Mehlman and Rove are continuing. Breaking through the 'liberal doctrine of infallability' borne of life experience and personal history. On the very day Kerry's move to get a Senate vote on getting out of Iraq ..... they start.

That's the case.

I am here today in praise and support of Messers Kerry and Murtha. It is time for the entirety of the party - no ... the entirety of the progressive left and the honorable middle - to close ranks in support of these two fine men. The overplayed phrase of "I've got your back' may never have been more important to us all than it is now. I don't give two shits what you think of either man. Drop your partisan views and stand up for them and stand behind them and stand with them.

We had damned well BETTER have their backs.

We simply can NOT allow these chickehawk right wing, win-at-all-cost motherfuckers to get two more nautical miles further down their course.

Battle Stations! All Hands on Deck. Man The Guns. Mind your Helm.

This ***IS*** ... by God ..... WAR.

3. I will support anyone
who is willing to try to take on these bastards.

If Kerry and Murtha are serious about opposing this regime, then let's get serious.

4. Rove and Mehlman target what they fear - they must fear Kerry and Murtha's
withdrawal plans catching hold with the American people and other members of congress.

So OUR course of action must be to call our congresspeople and our local papers and demand support for these withdrawal plans.

5. Wouldn't it be great to see Murtha choking the hell out of KKKarl?
I bet he could pop that fat head off just like a crawdad.

6. And Rove and Mehlman.....
....know "cut and run" military moves from what??? Rove took dodgy deferments from Vietnam,and Mehlman,who was prime meat (agewise) for Desert Storm I was busy in school...for either to ever criticize ANY vet-much less a COMBAT vet is a joke-I was never shot at but these weak poseurs can eat my old OD boxers.These assholes would cut and run from a barroom fight, never mind a military engagement.....

10. I am ready for a fight!
This is beyond the pale from people who never had the guts to go to war! I'm a veteran too and this sickens me! I believe they have increased the age limit for enlistment in the military to 42... Come on Ken! Let's sign up!
