Now that the truth is coming out about John Kerry's Vietnam war record his sycophantic media groupies are losing their grip. For instance, arch lefty Albert Hunt of the Wall Street Journal became positively combustible when he found that John Kerry had been exposed for the fraud he really is.

According to this paragon of journalistic virtue it's grossly unfair to "focus attention on John Kerry's Vietnam War record and subsequent protests."

Given that John Kerry made his Vietnam war record a central issue of the election campaign and actually invited scrutiny, how can Hunt seriously complain when those who served with Kerry pick up his gauntlet?

I don't recall Hunt complaining about the DUI charge against President Bush that was illegally dug up by a Democrat, nor did Hunt slam Democrats for their constant AWOL charges against Bush. In fact, Hunt has been found missing in action with respect to the outrageous lies that his Dem mates have been blasting at President Bush since he won the election.

Hunt's hypocrisy became manifest when he complained that these vets were "being significantly funded and directed by Texas fat cats and political operatives who have more than a passing relationship with Bush political guru Karl Rove."

Never mind that vicious 527 organization like Media Fund, MoveOn.org and ACT are being funded by Bush-hating "fat cats" like George Soros who have poured millions into these hate groups.

Compare this expenditure by rich Dems with the $500,000 budget that is funding these vets' ad. And what is Hunt's response? Smear these vets as puppets of "Texas fat cats" who are operating under the influence of the sinister "political guru Karl Rove."

But what of the 21 Congressional Medal of Honor winners who signed a letter condemning John Kerry and supporting Bush? Are they also puppets whose strings are being pulled by evil financial forces deep within the heart of Texas?

John Kerry betrayed those he served with by slandering their reputations and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It's ironic that though Hunt used the pages of the Wall Street Journal to whitewash Kerry's treasonous activities as a "moderating influence", Hanoi thug Col. Tin recently admitted to the very same newspaper that the leaders of the U.S. anti-war movement (read Hanoi war movement), were "essential to our strategy" of defeating the US and conquering South Vietnam.

Could it be that Hunt does not even read his own newspaper?

The Hunt strategy of defending John Kerry is to continue the practise of slandering all those who served in Vietnam by charging them with atrocities. That he deliberately chose to ignore that from day one of the war Hanoi had implemented a merciless policy of committing widespread systematic atrocities against the people of South Vietnam should tell us all we need to know about the moralising Mr Hunt.

What needs to be recognised is that some soldiers will always commit atrocities, regardless of attempts by the high command to stop them. It happened during WW II and it happened in the Korean War. So did crimes committed by individual soldiers without the knowledge or acquiescence of the high command and their political masters render these wars unjust? Like it or not, that's the logic of Hunt's argument, if you can call it that.

Regardless of Hunt's infamous slanders to the contrary, US atrocities were few and far between while communist atrocities were countless, truly barbaric and a genuine matter of policy. The Hue massacre where thousands of South Vietnamese civilians were systematically murdered by communists was a truly savage example of a red terror at work — and one the left has tried to flush down its Orwellian memory hole.

In his book Unheralded Victory Mark W. Woodruff, a former Marine officer who fought in Vietnam, neatly nailed the charge about US atrocities with the statement: "In spite of Dich van myths to the contrary, American involvement in the war was not notable for it misuse of power."

If you ever read Unheralded Victory you'll be left wondering whether you will ever again trust anything a journalist tells you. But if you have any sense, Albert Hunt should have the same effect on you

What was notable about Hunt's hysterical screed was the absence of any reference to John Kerry's senate record. Is this because Kerry had continually voted to savage the America's intelligence agencies and its military?

Perhaps Hunt was reluctant to draw attention to the fact that Kerry had sided with America's enemies against Ronald Reagan and that if Kerry and the rest of the appeasers had won the day Central America would be a Marxist-Leninist Gulag backed by the Soviet empire.

The truth, and Hunt knows it, is that John Kerry never got a damn thing right. He was, and always will be, on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side with respect to the security of the United States. And that's why Hunt is supporting him.

Although it would take too much of my time to fully expose Hunt's disgusting lies (in any case, the vets he slimed can take care of themselves) I still have no hesitation in calling him a, political bigot, a vicious liar and a loathsome hypocrite. And much the same can be said for John Kerry.

The situation was some what better in Australia with Roy Eccleston, Washington correspondent for Rupert Murdoch's Australian's, writing that the vets' ad was being "bankrolled by rich Texas Republican Robert Perry." Eccleston is another lefty journalist who has yet to see anything wrong with rich Dems financing anti-Bush hate groups.

Although he was restrained the anti-Bush Eccleston still had to finish by quoting John Kerry: "I would have told those kids very politely and nicely that the president of the United States had something that he needed to attend to."

It didn't surprise those of us acquainted with Eccleston's style of journalism that he omitted to mention that Kerry had confessed earlier on that he and his fellow Dems were attending a leadership meeting when the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were attacked, and that afterwards "Nobody could think."

Apparently this inability to think continued for about 40 minutes.

Nevertheless, I guess we must be grateful that for once Australia's media lefties were able to show more restraint than John Kerry and some of his media pals.

I attended the University of Phoenix online. As you know, the owner of UOP is one of the "Big 3" anti-Bush professional haters. In every class there was one member spewing anti-Bush propoganda and directing students to web sites like "moveon.commie." I believe (and understand, I have no direct proof of this) that these people were plants. I say this because they all followed the same pattern, said the same things, and responded the same way. The things these "students" would say was vile beyond belief. One give away was they all claimed to have voted for Bush in 2000. They were like slightly retarded psych-op trainees.

I should say that they were no match for moi as I am articulate, intelligent, patient and--oh yes--I had the FACTS on my side. Also, my husband and late father-in-law were both in the intelligence fields during their time in the Navy and Army, and so I learned quite a bit about those kinds of tactics. (No, they never talked about particulars, just generalities--but I am a quick study ) Whatever, it was easy to suss these pukes out.

Still, it was a giant PITA to contend with when I had so much else on my plate.

You know, none of this behavior by the MSM is surprising. I remember many of the same tactics being employed against Reagan, particularly in his run against Carter. It did not work then, and God willing, it will not work now.

And I never blindly believe anything anyone tells me, leftist or otherwise. Trust, but verify...
