Navy_Navy_Navy,
You might be right, but I still think that the SwiftVets need to read the article carefully before they are challenged on it by a reporter. That's all.

Oh, definitely!
And posting it here helps, as there are some people who are scouring the daily press to see what's happening.

Polaris...SBVT has no problem there...reporters run from Swift Vets faster than Kerry runs from reporters 
This LA Times article had already been "fisked"(in blog-ese, rebutted) by 7:06AM EST yesterday (probably before the LA Times bundles left the trucks in LA) by one of our forum members, Beldar, on his Beldar Blog.
The real story at the Star-Tribune is not that they're a day late and a dollar short in reproducing the LA Times "effort" from yesterday, but that the Star-Trib has also picked up a Powerline Blog-piece that is all over the Kerry in Cambodia story (now affecionately dubbed "The Kurtz Chronicles").
In short, SBVT, like Luke Skywalker, has apparently discovered the wonders of "the force", and with "the force" and the blogosphere, Kerry's defenses are turned into detritus before they get out of the starting gate.
Man, I'm glad I'm on THIS side

Me,
Thanks. That is exactly the sort of Fisking that is needed. I am glad that others were on the ball. I am not especially fond of bloggers since they tend to be non-objective, but man oh man has the MSM been partisan, biased and completely dropped the ball on this one.
If there was any doubt that the media was biased, this should eliminate all doubt.
BTW, the folks at DU insist that the media has a right-wing bias (just for a chuckle).

Sorry, no dice. I get asked for registration...and their registration questions seem suspiciously nosey to me. |
Me too. I resisted for months. Go to bugmenot.com and use their service to register at any number of newpaper sites without giving out your personal info. Basically, people create logins for the newspapers and then share them via bugmenot. Very cool. Be patient - it took me a couple of tries to figure out their process.
