Periodic notices,

How do you propose to assure that periodic notices are posted? That
sounds like a job for the UNIX 'at' command.

Nah. 'cron' is your friend. 'at' is just the human front end for it.

True, but the point is, who has a UNIX server with inews running on it
and is willing to provide the FAQ posting service? I'd even settle
for a mail-to-news gateway (in lieu of inews). I have cron access on
a UNIX server, but there's no inews on it.

That requires experience, a paycheck, and half a damn to give about John
Kerry in the first place, none of which I possess.

Perfect spot for the POL prepend. I'll start it, even though I have
nothing to say politically.

Well, sir, you're leading by example anyhow and I commend you for it!

Ludicrous. They waited until an election season to bring it up.

Again, look at the time line. Kerry was who "bought it up." He pretty
much made
his Vietnam exploits his primary qualification for becoming President.

And before that, the Swift Boat Vets were running around the country
challenging every other politicians' military records and outting frauds, or
what?

Did they delve into Bush Sr's records? Authenticate any other veterans?

Which of these veterans were making claims to boost their political aspirations
and obtain higher office?


What were they doing before the election season when one candidate claimed
to have been decorated for action of a swift boat?

You missed the point again. Bush Sr wasn't going around with claims about what
happened in Vietnam. Kerry was, and the other veterans had a different version
of THAT story.

In 2004, a bill to extend unemployment benefits failed because of one
vote.
Kerry didn't even bother to show up.

*shaking my head, baffled.* This is not a John Kerry debate, is it?

To unbaffle yourself, reread what you wrote:

" Ah, right. Just happened to organize and go public during an election
year, specifically for the purpose of discrediting, gee, a presidential
candidate."

Again that was merely a direct response to Kerry's claims.

Which has nothing to do with whether Kerry bothered to show up for a bill to
extend unemployment in 2004, does it?

It has everything to do with why the veterans were rebutting the claims. The
timeline was a candidate for President was making claims about his own military
service. After this happened, other veterans who were in theatre at the time
strongly disagreed with said claims came forward with their own version of
events.



I told you I'm not interesting in talking Kerry politics, and I was polite
about it. Now, I'm not. So GET LOST! SCRAM!

If you're not interested in talking about anything, I'm not forcing you to talk
at all. You also seemed very interested in the swift boat veterans, and I'm
explaining the timeline to you. Get lost, indeed :-)



NO, WE WILL NOT REFUND THE COST OF YOUR TICKET. YOU'RE LUCKY WE'RE GIVING
YOU YOUR SUITCASE BACK.

Seek help. "Nothing to do" indeed, lol



Or, in the words of David Space, BUH-BYE.

David Space?

We admire Kerry's four (4) months that he served in theatre in Vietnam.
But
that is not relevant to his political positions today,

Here's another.

"I'm wondering if McCain's been taken prisoner and being held as a POW by
the Kerry camp, in the Kerry Hilton, somewhere in the basement of the
C." -Rush Limbaugh http://mediamatters.org/items/200409100006

Rush Limbaugh's service to America isn't worth two cold turds in a toilet
bowl. For him to make a joke about a POW is outrageous. Limbaugh never
looked into the eyes of a loved one struggling with some unimaginable
rememberance coming at him from the dark place where old warriors attempt to
contain such things.

If he did, he would understand that making a joke about somebody's Prisoner
of War experience is rather like making a joke about a warrior watching his
comrades die.

Ok, now you want to have a discussion about Rush Limbaugh. Why introduce him
into the discussion? Since you brought it up, can you please provide the full
context of that quote instead of a one sentence snippet? Also, how do you know
everywhere somebody's eyes looked at every time during their life, which you
would need to know in order to make that statement?

If you're trying to corner my into defending John Kerry's politics or
something, you're barking up the wrong tree.

I am not. You wrote that the vietnam veterans who were criticizing
Kerry's story just happened to come out at the election time, therefore
they only had political motivations. I just pointed out that it was
Kerry who brought up Vietnam

Ah. And what was SWIFT BOAT VETERANS FOR TRUTH doing before Kerry brought
up his Swift Boat story? Were they out dutifully purging society of swift
boat frauds?

What "frauds" are you referring to? Please describe. And who was using said frauds
you allege to obtain higher office?




A moment ago you were claiming that 'someone' was attempting to diminish
Congressman Murtha's past service and sacrifices,

If you need to resort to name calling, go right ahead.

It might come down to that if you can't accept facts. If you would like,
I'll find several posts demonstrating that there's a war on in the middle
east and other current events covered all over the mainstream media.

Hey, I wasn't the one who couldn't figure out why the swift boat veterans would want
to rebut claims AFTER they were made Ann Coulter makes a living by making
outrageous statements, so what? Huffington is a liberal axe-grinder, hardly an
unbiased source either. And as for your moderate voice article, you did note the
word "apoligize," right?
