DISGUSTING CAMPAIGNING

[Lunar]

States and that guy from Illinois, try and keep it civil.  You've been quite rude in this thread.

Let's move the thread back to the original subject.  Isn't it horrifying the depths these swift boat vets go to?  Kerry would be wise to get the media to jump on the Osama accusations.

sorry, lunar, but states sometimes drives me over the edge; mea culpa if I went too far.

Yeah, it's cool.  I see why you felt provoked, but it was stupid on both sides.  If you don't like certain posters, don't respond to them and don't read them.

Talk about a double standard. Typical.

I said you were both being rude.  He apologized for it and I said I understood why he got mad.  He statement about hate was also extremely rude and I understand why you replied with more vitriol.  Interpret any bias how you will.

Lunar,

Now you are the one going overboard.

I posted a lengthy list of examples where, when challenged, Kerry has backed down from his Viet Nam claims, and the SBV have been correct.

Please heed your own advice and stop the name calling.

Oh, and can you get Kerry to allow the release of his Navy records?  The Washington Post has requested them, and Kerry has refused to allow their release.

So..you don't find Kerry-Osama accusations horrible?  I said it was a horrible depth they sunk to, offering my own opinion about a disgusting attack.  I called for civility in our own discussion, which had two board members insulting each other.  It doesn't quite make my a hypocrite to insult an abstract entity.

This thread isn't about whether Kerry earned one of his purple hearts, it seems silly to change the subject, it's about the Swift Vets comparing Senator Kerry to Osama Bin Laden.

You jumpted to conclusions where you suggested that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth compared Kerry to Ben Ladin.  I don't know who prepared the literature you say you saw, the the Swifties have NOT compared Kerry to Ben Ladin.  

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are real people who put themselves on the line.

Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of the left slinging mud at this group, whose statements have in many instances been proven true.

Please correct the misimpression you have left the the Swift Board Veterans for Truth compared Kerry to Ben Ladin.

I'm just assuming that Wakie was telling the truth in the first post of this thread.  Perhaps someone else besides the Swift Boat Vets were responsible, but either way it's disgusting.

I agree that both should be looked down upon.

But perhaps the justification isn't that they're Black, but because of the different atmosphere in a Black church.  In addition to the atmosphere, a candidate in a Black church often talks about civil rights while one in a White church will talk more about controversial religious issues and will appear much more like a preacher in any video clips.

What?  I made it clear in my post that I looked down at politicians using churches and then took a birds-eye view of the whole situation in my analysis (referring to how it looks in TV rather than why it's "wrong").

I was simply explaining why a politician speaking in a Black church is far less controversial and pointing towards other reasons besides race that has to do with it.
