Watch Atrios shill like the whore he is:
First Lady Attacks War Record of Decorated Hero
Astounding:
TIME: Do you think these swift-boat ads are unfair to John Kerry?
BUSH: Do I think they’re unfair? Not really.
We have a First Lady who spits on Veterans for sport. Disgusting.
Of course, here is the full Time quote:
TIME: Do you think these swift-boat ads are unfair to John Kerry?
BUSH: Do I think they’re unfair? Not really. There have been millions of terrible ads against my husband.
Laura Bush’s context of fairness is not the charge themselves, but ‘fair’ in relation to what has been thrown at ther husband. And the Democrats are the smart, nuanced ones. Assholes.

But Atrios went over to the Dark Side long ago, John. What else are we to expect from him?
To be a Democratic partisan today means that one has a written deed to the Moral High Ground, and a Get-Out-Of-Moral-Odium-Free Card for use when caught lying, dissembling, or distorting the words of others. It’s no wonder that people you’d be willing to have in your living room are unwilling to be called Democrats…or, God help us all, “liberals.”

1) You’ve got a malformed blockquote closure; forgotten backslash.
2) Expecting intellectual honesty from Atrios has never been realistic. Give it up.

Duncan Bullshitter Brown, better known as “atrios,” the former junior high school gym teacher from Philadelphia, is always trying to usurp the use of such words as “patriot” in order to disguise his own lack of credentials in the area. This slur on the First Lady represents one of his lamest attempts yet, and would only fool his typical maladjusted fans.

So when Atriosoros supports Kerry, who made a nation spit on Vietnam vets, that’s ok I guess.

The LA Times put it correctly. Paraphrasing (the original is now firewalled), the ads against Bush are nasty and personal; the ads against Kerry are nasty, personal, and false.
Great plan, though: trade our emabrrassing truths for your embarrassing lies.
Terry
Apparently Mr.Lazarus suffers from language comrehension deficiencies. The subject of the Swift Boaters latest ad concerns the fact that Sen. Kerry today says he’s proud of his anti-war activism, but that’s not what it was. Every war has pacifists and conscientious objectors and even disenchanted veterans, but there’s simply no precedent for what John Kerry did: a man who put his combat credentials to the service of smearing his country’s entire armed forces as rapists, decapitators and baby killers. The junior Senator from Massachusetts is clearly unfit for command. His record consists of much, much more than embarrassing lies.
Noel
It’s fair on both counts.
And, btw, the moonbats have every right to speak, just like the Swifties. And we all have the duty to decide who is right or wrong. And ALL the politicians should stop legislating Speech bans.
That said, this is a fight between ‘Nam vets. Kerry is trying to drag Bush into it, but this is his own unfinished business.

“he LA Times put it correctly.”
AJL,
There’s a first time for everything, but this isn’t such an instance.
Cordially…

It’s hard to see how the number of attacks against Bush have anything to do with the specific fairness of the swiftboat crusade. Atrios didn’t commit any foul in cutting the excerpt the way he did.
I do, however, LOVE the way juicy boy is now fantasizing about getting Atrios to bend over. Some repressed desires there, JB?

Glad everyone’s in agreement.

I don’t believe that the Swiftvets or many other vets opposing John Kerry for that matter are actually angry over his anti-VietNam War stance after returning home. What I think they a really steamed about, and rightfully so in my opinion, was his slandering of their character and honor as Americans and as soldiers.
Hmmmm, so Duncan Brown aka Atrios was a junior high gym teacher. Wonder if he ever took Jocelyn Elders advice and taught the boys how to masturbate. Because in my experience with people like Atrios they just don’t become jerkoffs overnight, they work at it.
Atrios like Michael Moore is a sitzpinkler.

I thought his name was Duncan Black…not that I really care.
capt joe
yep Black as in Sirius Black.
