   I suppose that I think Michelle is kind of cute is my own personal shame. Believe me, it’s deeply conflicting. That said, why bother discussing her looks when she has left so many ridiculous, indefensible, and humiliating ideas on the table?

   We don’t marginalize Hannity’s physical appearance when he says something asinine. Calling someone an “uglier vesrion of Coulter” is a little Coulter-esque, isn’t it?

   On another note, Olbermann’s dismissal of the interview is excellent. I wish more people paid attention to him.

   I agree with pretty much everything you say except that Michelle Malkin is nowhere close to being uglier than Ann Coulter. She’s out of her mind politics-wise but I can’t front, she is super hot and knocks Coulter way out of the box on that count (unless of course anorexic blondes are your thing).

   Probably not going to matter since the minds here are pretty made up, but the “self-inflicted wounds” claim is straight out of the book Unfit for Command.” Matthews didn’t read it, so he attributed it to her. Once they were off camera they had the producers madly try to determine *if* she was right, as clearly Matthews didn’t know (not that it prevented him from arguing the point on camera - who needs humility when u got ignorance?). They cut out her next segment. Very professional operation there.

    Go watch “Outfoxed” and learn how the “some say…” construct works to the right wing advantage. Malkin didn’t have her facts right, even when she quoted names, they were names of people who support Kerry’s version of events. He asked her to either put up or shut up (did she co-sign or not) and she wouldn’t answer, referring back to “some say…”

    Cowardly, stupid, ill-equipped for the task presented her.

    Obviously she has a hate of self (how could ANY Asian-American ever support forced imprisonment of their own people… even after the government alrady has apologized for the practice?!?!)… and apparently she thinks by speaking in Good ‘Ol Boy terminology while flashing some cleavage and fluffing her hair will put her in the Ann Coulter big-time.

    my throughts that his service did more harm than good. BTW, when did serving

    makes an Ad comparing Pres. Bush to Hitler. George Soros is a chief contributer
    of MoveOn.org. George Soros supports John Kerry’s bid for the White House. John
    Kerry does not condemn the ad likening Pres. Bush to Hitler. Soooooo: John Kerry

    Personally, I can’t believe that anyone would take John Kerry’s word over 255
    of his PEERS and SUPERIORS but I guess I am just a little wacky like that. I
    have read the Wash Posts/Boston Globes “attempts” at smearing these guys and
    it actually makes me a little sad. Sort of sad that they are being so shouted
    down without being heard but really sad to see biased reporters in such frantic
    desperation. Lets talk about your boy’s recollection of Vietnam… How many
    versions of this Christmas in Cambodia story are we going to get:
    ‘Version 1 of the Cambodia Story was written by John Kerry himself and
    published in the Boston Herald, October 14, 1979: “I remember spending Christmas
    Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South
    Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of
    almost killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed
    there were no American troops was very real.”"
    Version 2 of the Cambodia Story was told by Kerry in 1986 at a Senate committee
    hearing during a debate on U.S. policy toward Central America: “I remember Christmas
    of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be
    shot at by the Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians and have the president
    of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops
    were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared — seared — in me.”
    
    Version 3 of the Cambodia Story was told by Kerry to Kevin Whitelaw, in
    “A Mission to Cambodia”, by Kevin Whitelaw, May 08 2000, U. S. News and World
    Report: “Sen. John Kerry made his first forays into Cambodia during the Vietnam
    War as a Navy lieutenant on clandestine missions to deliver weapons to anticommunist
    forces. When he returned last week, the mission was official, but dicey nonetheless.
    At the request of the United Nations, Kerry is trying to broker a compromise
    on how to try leaders of the former Khmer Rouge regime, whose late 1970s reign
    of terror claimed the lives of some 1.7 million Cambodians.
    Version 4 of the Cambodia Story was released in an August 13th, 2004 statement
    from Martin Meehan of the the Kerry Campaign: In Meehan’s statement, the Kerry
    Campaign said John Kerry spent Christmas Eve 1968 in “the watery borders between
    Vietnam and Cambodia deep in enemy territory.” “In the early afternoon,” the
    statement continues, “Kerry’s boat, PCF-44, was at Sa Dec and then headed north
    to the Cambodian border. There, Kerry and his crew along with two other boats
    were ambushed, taking fire from both sides of the river, and after the firefight
    were fired upon again. Later that evening, during their night patrol, they came
    under friendly fire.”‘ Who is the liar again?

    I can’t believe someone beat me to a Young Ones ref. That really gets my pet
    goat. Ohh, you can have it back. I’ve changed my mind about you being
    like Rick… The more I think about it the more GG Allin comes to mind. BTW,
    the book was called “Reading Mastery 2″ and the exercise was called “The Pet
    Goat” but I will forgive you. Just no more pithy comments based on Michael Moore
    nonsense, cool?

    I’m reading the transcript of the Hardball segment in which Chris Matthews interviews Larry Thurlow, and it’s painfully obvious from the dialogue that these Swift Boat for truth yahoos have been coached to tell this yarn about John Kerry’s “untrustworthiness”.

    It’s such a thinly veiled sham, it’s laughable. Ignominious.

    Every time Matthews tries to drill down to the crux of the matter, Thurlow goes back to this idea that Kerry lied about the events Cam Ranh Bay in order to “make a name for himself,” as if Kerry was thinking about running for President in 2004, instead of saving his ass in 1968. Please! I’m hoping some courageous soul will try to dig out the truth on this one, prove these guys have been paid lots and lots of money to tell these silly, outrageous lies.

    The ploys frankly saddens me. It’s a dirty, clearly diversionary tactic. They know the media will hook onto a story like this and disseminate it in order to fog up the windows. There’s a Presidential election taking place in less than 3 months. There are important issues and policies with people’s lives hanging in the balance, and this is what we’re treated to, this is the searing disrespect they have for us. Offering fabricated stories in order to discredit a presidental candidate. I know, I know, it’s not a new scheme, but the arguments here and the points raised defending this one, disproving that one are proof that the strategy is working.

    Watching the Hardball clip was sheer entertainment and reminds me why I like Chris Matthews. This whole internment issue is baffling! The fact that someone would make the argue for Interning the Japanese (as well as Germans and Italians- about 15,000- a tenth of the Japanese)- is truly shocking. And I am tired of those who bring up the handful of Japanese Americans who were found out to be helping the Japanese war effort etc.

    DOES ANYONE bring up the BOMBING OF THE MURRAH FEDERAL BUILDING in Oklahoma on April 19th, 1995! I certainly did not see any moves to intern American ex army white redneck types after that happened!! And just think, if Bush Jr. was president in 1995, we probably would of went and attacked some foreign nation for that bombing.

    When Bush makes his military service a central focus of his campaign, I will be one of the first to ask this question. On the converse, can we get one credible document that backs up the left’s assertions that Bush went AWOL?

    I would agree if: A. Bush himself or his endorsed campaign was making the claims. (Loosely knit “friend of a friend” connections don’t mean anything in today’s world, just look at Friendster. The “6 degrees” theory does not hold up in a court of law.) B. Kerry wasn’t making his “valiant” service a central factor of his campaign. C. These other officers had no records/photos to back up their claims of being present at the so beclouded events.

    I say, release ALL of the military records for both candidates and let us see who is bluffing and who is telling the truth.

    Hi Matt,

    I’ll just try once more, using very simple logic this time.

    It doesn’t matter that Bush didn’t make service part of his campaign because he doesn’t have substantial service to point to. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t smear other people’s windows.

    Once again. Unwarranted attack based on biased assumption. Conspiratorial and unfounded assumptions on Bush and “supposedly linked” 527 money. Haven’t we been over this?

    John Kerry’s full military records, after action reports and command history here.

    Sweeping statement based on limited exposure. Obviously you don’t know much about military record keeping. Please follow this link.

    Maybe you were fooled along with the media by the President’s document dump this spring, but I wasn’t. The relevant attendance and tax info were not included, and that is the only important bit.

    Twice in one post!?! Conspiratorial and unfounded assumptions; (You must be a rather paranoid fellow) yet I will give you that I do wish (if they exist) to see the remainder of Pres. Bush’s military records. For further information on the subject please follow the above posted link.

    You are challenging the official Navy records when you only have Bush’s word on his missing records.

    If those records were written or effected by Sen. Kerry, you better believe I am challenging them.

    Wow, I can’t believe that I am typing this again and in such a short time constraint. Your contradictions in logic astound me! When did your initial post become about a “military records” urinating match between Pres. Bush and Sen. Kerry? When has Pres. Bush made his service ANY issue in this election cycle? From earlier post on August 21, 2004 09:18 AM: “BTW, when did serving in the US Military and killing people in 3rd world countries become a good thing for you? Also, I thought you guys didn’t believe in the Vietnam War, has that changed?”

    Sen. Kerry has repeatedly cited his service record as a cornerstone of experience in which to guide his “policy?” on the defense of our homeland. At this point in our history that defense is imperative. If Sen. Kerry’s record remained unblemished and steadfast it would not only be a plus to his candidacy but would all but secure the removal of the incumbent from the White House. Pres. Bush has not only taken wrong turns in the eyes of the left but also the right. The way I see it,… If I were Sen. Kerry, I would do everything (release all records/debate the accusers/etc.) to make sure no possible doubt could cast shadow on the shining star of service I so heralded. Yet he runs and he hides. He sends faxes from lawyers to TV stations threatening legal action if the ads are played. He tries with legal action to get the book pulled from shelves. Does he directly answer the accusers (255 of his PEERS and SUPERIORS who DID serve with him) and the accusations (that his stories of Vietnam are untrue), No. That is the ISSUE. That is the reason why Michelle Malkin was attacked and this thread started. It’s called damage control. Animals that are backed into a corner attack and attack erratically. Humans are animals.

    We could settle this whole quagmire by opening a gym, filling it with a few live TV news crews, John Kerry and the Swift Vets. Let the arguments carry their own water and we will see which has
    leaks. The truth is John Kerry’s talisman, wether it be good or bad for him we do not know now.

    Give it a rest. Know when to fold.

    4) Kerry spent the immediate post war time making vicious statements against: the US, the military, its soldiers (baby killers, etc.) , and anti-communism.
    5) Kerry spent the remaining 25 years as one of the most liberal politicians in the country voting against the military more so than almost any other politician.
    6) As a presidential candidate and prospective commander-in-chief during war he had little or no credibility given this history. The polls continue to show this.
    7) Kerry, despite being a presidential candidate, has taken no position on the current War on Terror
    8) Kerry’s deceptive strategy given the above history is to pretend that he is now “reporting for duty” as if he is well qualified and eager to be commander-in-chief.
    9) Something like 65% of Americans don’t believe he would be a willing or effective commander-in-chief given his history but despite their huge dissatisfaction with Bush.
    10) Kerry’s response in addition to silence, refusal to release is records or book, or state a war policy, has been to accuse the Bush campaign of sponsoring the swift boat veterans.
    Some vague connections have been demonstrated which is no surprise given that they all seem to hate Kerry having served with him. But certainly the idea that Bush campaign somehow made all 250 of them lie is purely absurd.
    My personal point of view is that Kerry’s ultra liberal 25 years after the war, when he could not have been elected to dog catcher anywhere in America except Massachusetts is far more important than the 4 months in Vietnam. But still, when 250 of the guys who served with him and under him in Vietnam write a book saying he largely falsified his entire Vietnam experience you have to consider that even that tiny 4 month period is a meaningful indictment of a prospective commander-in-chief in time of war.

    Take note that Malkin is of Filipina ancestry, not Japanese. So in her mind she is not advocating putting her “own” people in jail. And remember that Japan was especially brutal in the Phillipines. There probably is some self-hate in her, but it’s probably not simply “asian” self-hate. I wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror, because one day she will be detained at an airport because she’s not white, in spite of her name. Then let’s hear from her about profiling.

    The first time I saw that tosser, was on an O’Reilly segment (when he was somewhat journalistic) post 9/11. She was hawking her fearmonger rag called “Invasion”. I’ve actually visited her website and had I not known about her background I could have sworn that I was reading some neo-Third Reicher crap. Ms. Malkin belongs to a certain group of Asians (a sort of sub-culture) that somewhat subscribe to the fantasy that the only two great races in the world that could do no wrong is: White or Asian. (Well, except Japanese in Malkin’s case). Believe me, I’ve come across a few. I’m half white/half black and my father is of German descent. I’m dating a Japanese girl. She’s actually introduced me to some of her friends and on a few occassions have actually told me some of their comments about me. It is enough to a light skinned black man to blush red in the face. Guess which SE Asian paradise, some of these clowns are hailing from? I found it interesting how she berated officer Moose for writing about his time with the Virginia/DC sniper case. I guess blacks are only good for putting their lives on the line, but shouldn’t write about it should they survive. Blimey.
    Ms. Malkin likes to kick the immigration policies in the ribs, often forgetting that her mum and dad were immigrants from the Phillipines. I guess it IS a pity that immigration quotas were near non-existent, that way the world would have been spared the wisdom and wit of this blithering, self-hating moron. And while she’s on the up and up bashing my fiancee’s country for its past atrocities, she’s overlooking the fact that her wonderful Philipines is an emerging and growing hotbed of militant Muslim fundamentalism with strong anti-American sentiment. Oh yes, that is happening TODAY, Ms. Malkin. And don’t you just love it when she gets all wide-eyed for dramatic effect as she tries to pound her “journalistic” propaganda home. Hey, Ann Coulter does that wide eye stuff too. What gives. Hmm, half black/half german and about to marry japanese. I guess I would be a triple threat to this twit.

    7) Kerry, despite being a presidential candidate, has taken no position on the current War on Terror
    8) Kerry’s deceptive strategy given the above history is to pretend that he is now “reporting for duty” as if he is well qualified and eager to be commander-in-chief.
    9) Something like 65% of Americans don’t believe he would be a willing or effective commander-in-chief given his history but despite their huge dissatisfaction with Bush.
    10) Kerry’s response in addition to silence, refusal to release is records or book, or state a war policy, has been to accuse the Bush campaign of sponsoring the swift boat veterans.
    Some vague connections have been demonstrated which is no surprise given that they all seem to hate Kerry having served with him. But certainly the idea that Bush campaign somehow made all 250 of them lie is purely absurd.
    My personal point of view is that Kerry’s ultra liberal 25 years after the war, when he could not have been elected to dog catcher anywhere in America except Massachusetts is far more important than the 4 months in Vietnam. But still, when 250 of the guys who served with him and under him in Vietnam write a book saying he largely falsified his entire Vietnam experience you have to consider that even that tiny 4 month period is a meaningful indictment of a prospective commander-in-chief in time of war.

    Michelle Malkin is one of several Phillipines(her claim)women that I have known of that believe that their primary duty in the “community” is to

    armed guards at her book-promoting events. Otherwise her own countrymen, and countrywomen, would “take care of her”, as they would others like her.
