PASS THE AMMUNITION:
By the way, in case any of your persuadable friends actually believed all that horseshit spewing fom our Crazy Uncle in the Zellar and Deferrment Dick about John Kerry's voting record in the Senate, here are a few handy-dandy debunking resources you can throw back in their faces.Do it politely, of course. If they are, in fact, persuadable. If they are rightwing thugs, make sure you get a lot of spittle on them. Pretend you're Zell Miller -- only attitudinally, of course.1. John Kerry's Defense Defense: Setting his voting record straight -- Fred Kaplan.2. Bush Insults Kerry's Intelligence: The president's latest attack is even more dishonest than the last -- Fred Kaplan.3. More Bush Distortions of Kerry Defense Record -- Factcheck.org4. Did Kerry Oppose Tanks & Planes? Not Lately -- Factcheck.org5. Claim: Senator John Kerry "voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988." Status: False -- Snopes.Have fun!UPDATE: The Great Bob Somerby catches Zell in another flight of hypocritical fancy.
"How completely did Miller deceive them? Laughably, he scolded Kerry for “trying to shut down” the Apache helicopter—which Dick Cheney, then Secretary of Defense, tried to shut down in 1989! Here’s a bit of Senate testimony from August 13 of that year:
CHENEY (8/13/89): The Army, as I indicated in my earlier testimony, recommended to me that we keep a robust Apache helicopter program going forward, AH-64…I forced the Army to make choices. I said, “You can’t have all three. We don’t have the money for all three.” So I recommended that we cancel the AH-64 program two years out.That’s our Zell! He ridiculed Kerry for opposing a system that Cheney himself tried to stamp out! But so what? Cheering delegates didn’t know that. They were being entertained by our biggest fake, and mere facts wouldn’t mar his performance."Priceless. Truly priceless.
