I think Rasserman probably remembers being rescued by Kerry in the manner that he and Kerry have said.... Even a Green Beret can be frightened in the water. Traumatic experiences tend to cloud a point of view. For him, he can probably clearly see in his mind's eye a young lieutenant reaching over the boat, a halo of light behind him, and to pull a fallen soldier out of dark waters.... You know, I don't blame Rasserman for that perception at all. I think it's a natural, human thing for him to remember it that way.... Why should he doubt the story his rescuer told him? Who isn't disoriented when they fall over the side of a boat while under enemy fire? This is called being blindsided, I think.... John Kerry is the one who has something to answer for when it comes to that distortion. He's the one who is knowingly twisting the truth....

That's my opinion.

And, btw, thank you to the men who have really put their lives on the line... again... for their country. I get so sick and tired of people who call easily disputed pieces of propaganda like Fah 911 "documentaries" while they try to dismiss people like Rush. Thank God there's a voice like his on the radio.

I was born as the Vietnam war was coming to a close, so I obviously couldn't serve in Vietnam. Is my opinion on this matter then worthless? Are only combat veterans allowed to have opinions on military service? Wow. We should take away a whole lotta people's right to vote...

BTW, my father was career Army. I have incrediable respect for people in the military---those who serve in combat and those who serve in peace. I want you to know people ARE hearing what you're saying. It IS worth your sacrifices.

Keep up the fire.

Limbaugh's done his fifth or sixth day in a row about Swifts.

He's nailing the truth.

He is so good at making fun of the left's hypocrisy... that's why they hate him so much.

George W. Bush's military service began in 1968 when he enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard after graduating with a bachelor's degree in history from Yale University
It is a common misconception that the Air National Guard was a safe place for military duty during the Vietnam War. In actuality, pilots from the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group, as it was called at the time, were actually conducting combat missions in Vietnam at the very time Bush enlisted. In fact, F-102 squadrons had been stationed in South Vietnam since March 1962. It was during this time that the Kennedy administration began building up a large US military presence in the nation as a deterrent against North Vietnamese invasion.
As he was completing training and being certified as a qualified F-102 pilot, Bush's squadron was a likely candidate to be rotated to Vietnam. However, the F-102 was built for a type of air combat that wasn't seen during that conflict, and the plane was withdrawn from southeast Asia in December 1969. The F-102 was instead returned to its primary role of providing air defense for the United States. In addition, the mission of Ellington AFB, where Bush was stationed, was also changing from air defense alert to training all F-102 pilots in the US for Air National Guard duty. Lt. Bush remained in the ANG as a certified F-102 pilot who participated in frequent drills and alerts through April of 1972

Rush is at it again today!

[Conservgirl]

I love Rush and I think that he is right on point. He is factual and intelligent and so what if he is quick to point out what some Democrats refuse to see with their own eyes. I was raised in a home that was Democrat and I voted Democrat...no matter how screwed up their views were. Until 8 years go...why do you ask?? Because I was "uneducated". Uneducated in the fact I was brought up to believe that democrats were for the "middle to poor class" But it is because of Rush that I am today, a "conservative republican" And proud of it! I do still enjoy the weekend debates with my dad, poor guy I am trying to reform him. Another great one to listen to is Sean Hannity! He is another well-informed conservative speaker...and a "Great American" Anyone who listens to him, gets that. SO PLEASE...No Rush Bashing. And Michael Moore....don't even get me started on that cry baby!

I understand that three crewmen from the #3 boat were thrown into the water when it hit the mine and that Thurlow and the other OIC's who surrounded and protected the damaged boat picked up these crewmen and were about to pick up Rassman when "Mighty Mouse" Kerry returned to the scene. If picking up Rassman was such an "heroic" deed, did the other OICs who picked up the other three crewmen from #3 get medal write-ups like Kerry did? Just curious.

Hi,

I think Rush is on to something.

Read the following

"So there is trouble out there on this. And it's funny to watch the left try to defend this. And we had a guy call here yesterday, seminar caller who tried to get in on the defense, "Hey, he was there, he served, he got medals, so what's the deal? Bush didn't go, and he did, so what's the deal?" That's their defense. Uh, wait. These four months, Kerry has portrayed them as his primary qualification for being president. And if he's lying about one thing that happened there, well, then the floodgates are open and that's where the crack is beginning to occur in his media supporters. Because if he's lying about just one thing, doesn't matter what it is, then what else might there be, and they don't want to get caught short. I mean, they all have lines they will not cross in defending anybody because they have their own credibility to think about after this is all over. So we'll just watch and keep a sharp eye, but I'm telling you swift vets are having an impact out there. And you can tell they are because none of what they say is being refuted. Only they are being attacked."

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_081204/content/kerry_stack_3.guest.html

That's a very significant read of the media. The Elite, as Rush calls them, are now going to have to defend their own credibility with more damaging questions to Kerry that will not be able to defend well enough to stop. I should think the call for his complete records should begin shortly as well. Hey, if the Chicago Tribune can sue to unseal the divorce records of Jack Ryan because he was going to be a Senator, then a Freedom of Information Act to unseal Kerry's complete records cannot be far behind. If that is not possible, then the media will be grilling him about it to the point that he must comply and try to spin the material as best as he can.

Here's my prediction:

Give it two to three weeks and the Dems will be looking for a VP to run with Edwards. Kerry will be toast. I want to check on the possibilities if a candidate withdrawals from the race after he is nominated. But if it is possible this may be the signal of the end of John Kerry.

Can anyone shed light on what happens if Kerry were to withdraw?

It is becoming more and more sickening all the time to hear people claim to be patriots and still support the apparent actions of Flipper and company. If the charges leveled against Flipper by the Swifties,( true patriots) are true, and as of yet we have no credible evidence that they are not true then the real and only patriotic to do would be to demand a full blown investigation into these charges.

This is still a republic of the people, by the people, and for the people and we have the right, no the obligation, to not ask but demand that Kerrys full and complete military records be made public and that a full investigation into this matter be opened up.

It doe's not matter one bit if you are a Democrat or a Republican, if you are a true patriot and really do love your country, like so many politicians claim then we must get to the bottom of this as the people are now starting to demand because the alleged actions of John Kerry, ( if proven true) are not only criminal, but at the very least border on sedition. And if that is the case not only is he unfit for service he should be made accountable for his crimes and also stripped of his citizenship.

So to all of you so called patriots, if you truly are patriots, do your duty and demand disclosure of this matter, this means you Mr. Repub. and you Mr. Dem. And you Mr. Ind. and you Mr. piivate citizen, but most of all this means you Mr. Politician. The public and this country deserve better.

Thanks for letting me vent, and sorry if I rambled but bashing of both sides has to stop and we must become the UNITED States of America again.

Rush Limbaugh is really coming through for the SwiftVets today!

He's finally repeating the facts...not just talking about the effects. This is wonderful!
