Politics John Kerry Locates Spine

onToo little, too late, of course. Via Raw Story:
A staid confirmation hearing yesterday took an exciting turn when it gave Senator John Kerry the opportunity to confront a major financier of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a political group that maligned the decorated Vietnam Veteran in the 2004 presidential race. When the senator pressed Sam Fox, a businessman and Bush supporter nominated to be America’s next ambassador to Belgium, on the issue, the nominee admitted to Kerry “you’re a hero” and called for the government to ban all advocacy groups like the Swift Boat Vets.

Just goes to show you some of our venerable verterns are truely pieces of shit. But Kerry really screwed up when he never responded to Bush's claim in 2004 that we would never win the war on terror. THAT moment should have been Kerry's ticket to win.
Sam Fox is a fucking coward butt boy for the Bush admin. I would love to spit in his face for that remark...
Too bad the Sonics owners who donated to the Swift Boat charlatans weren't up there with him.
sam fox was, therefore still is a troop. you must support a troop, even if he slanders another troop. all actions taken by a troop are above reproach. if an action may be interpreted as not in support of a troop, then that action must not be taken, even if that action would result in fewer deaths of troops. a troop would rather be dead than discouraged.
oh, and Kerry? too little too late. if you'd called these fucks out the second they started the swiftboat BS back in 04, you'd be president right now, and cheney would be in the Hague.
That guy's born again moral outrage reminds of the 2000 GOP primaries when Chicken George feigned hurt and claimed that he (Bush) was shocked, shocked, by the smear ads attacking McCain's miltary record and years as a P.O.W. in Vietnam.
So that asshole's nomination is going to be rejected by the Senate, right? Right? Bush is trying to reward that motherfucker. If the Senate Democrats let him, I'll blow a gasket.
And that makes it better? Nah. Time to pull the plug on the Red Bushies.
I'm especially encouraged by the call to ban all groups like the Swift Boaters. Too often Americans hesitate to ban political groups. We should learn from the Europeans and crack down on those with opinions that are wrong.
