This from Fox News today:

Military service during the Vietnam War (search) has become an issue in the presidential election as both candidates debate the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Democrat John Kerry commanded a Navy Swift boat in Vietnam and won five medals, including a Silver Star. But his heroism has been challenged in ads by some veterans who support Bush.

I thought it was Veterans for the Truth, not Veterans for Bush. Just goes to show you the liberal leaning of the associated press. Although, I thought Fox News was fair and balanced?

They make the claim that the ads are sponsored by some Veterans for Bush like it's not even in question. Why can't they just tell the truth? That some Vet's don’t like Kerry, Bush has nothing to do with it.

What gets me is they have no shame or embarrassment.

I would be unable to sleep at night, and ashamed to leave my house.

PITIFUL.

They are familiar with a voting block known as ABB's. (anybody but Bush)

They haven't realized yet that Swiftvets are ABK's. (anybody but Kerry)

Idea One of these days they may catch on. Idea

Not too bright and biased to boot. Very Happy

Fox is the closest network to being fair and balanced, but its still far from it.

Please provide a link to the article: We need to raise hell with Roger Ailes, Brit Hume, and whoever wrote this crap headline.

ASPB..are those bumper stickers you produced?
If so, I suggest a batch like in Fort Campbell's post above. (I would love those)
