    .... group of politically affiliated veterans called the swift boats veterans for justice? Wait in their case the unsubstantiated allegations were ZERO years old I guess. More evidence of your double standard hypocrisy.

    In order for it to be hypocritical, I'd have to support the Swift Boat Veterans for Justice. You can search my history, and I'm sure you won't find any as their is simply too much ambiguity for that campaign to have my support. I know there was some contention regarding their claims, and I don't know whether or not they have been substantiated. If they were false, then I think their effort was simply wrong. I don't know about John Kerry's military record, but I do know that I find his well-documented behavior afterwards to be nothing short of appalling. But that's a horse of a different color.

    Yes. I made the assumption that you would have, that's what happens when people make assumptions. ;)

    I don't know about appalling but I never liked him. I just thought he was the better of two poor choices and now years later it is difficult to believe anything else but of course there is no way to know. Bush is the worst president ever but Kerry could also have accomplished the same standing even though he might have been a slight improvement.

      HA HA HA the whole time I thought you were trying to be funny, but you've seriously been spelling my username wrong this whole time! :laugh: Can you possibly embarrass yourself further? We don't have prisons to control what jokes people make about your wife. Typical fascist.

        That was such a hurtful insult! I bet after being called a "twerp", he is going to cry and never come on the internet again. That was almost as bad as Red's pathetic little "your mom" jokes.

          "For all the fear I had known as a boy in Savannah, this was the first time I
          found myself at the mercy of people who would do whatever they could to hurt me," the
          Georgia native wrote in the book. "And the institution that had once prided themselves
          on bringing segregation and its abuses to an end were aiding and abetting in the
          assault."

          Is it surprising that Clarence Thomas (one of the more brilliant members of the Supreme Court) faced his greatest threat not from the Klan (which existed in his segregated Georgia youth), but from the people who purport to help people like him...The left? I look forward to reading his memoir as his is life is both the epitome of the American Dream and a tragedy caused by those who opposed his achievement of it. Another quote from his book:[^]

          "I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult, I was
          starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along. My
          worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia but in Washington, D.C., where I was
          being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in
          flowing sanctimony."

          The guy is only confirming what a mistake it was to appoint him. He apparently doesn't realise that judges are supposed to conduct themselves with a degree of decorum so that those appearing before them might think they have a chance at a fair hearing. Engaging in a bitter partisan rant such as this is completely inappropriate.

            The Swift Boat Veterans for Justice is, like MoveOn.org, a result of McCain-Feingold. There will be many more organizations just like them and nothing truly fruitful will come out of it.

            To be honest, I don't know that there would be much difference. If Kerry had won, my guess would be that Congress would not have switched hands, making it business as usual.

              Why? He was smeared on a completely partisan basis and his smearing was one of the most significant events of his life. Why shouldn't he put his opinion of it in his memoir?

                  You gave an inadequate explanation to which I countered with a question. The fact that he is a judge does not preclude him from opinion in private life. Ginsburg certainly has no shortage of them, but I don't hear any complaints there.

                        I referred to "bitter partisan rants", not having an opinion in private life. I don't keep close tabs on Ginsburg, but I don't believe she has ever said anything remotely similar.
