Latest CLUMSY Bush Smear Attempt on Kerry (email dirty tricks)

[CaptainMidnight]

Gang,

Below, is the latest BUSH/REPUBLICAN SMEAR against Kerry to make the internet rounds. This is a very REAL TRICK and TACTIC by Goebbel's political heirs in the current White House. Aside from using TV and the mainstream media, they also have their minions circulate false stories on the internet, write phony emails, and pose as "NASCAR DAD" and "Joe Sixpack" types on internet message boards, offering up their "from the heartland" or "salt of the earth" opinions on any number of matters that they want to influence or outright destroy.

These campaigns actually work. How many of us regularly get these little missives while checking our email at work? "Joke of The Day," things like that. One such successful smear falsely claimed to be a forwarded email from a the widow of a 9-11 victim who'd been snubbed by Hillary Clinton. The email FALSELY stated a group of 9-11 Widows had an appointment with Hillary in her Senate office, and she blew them off.

Read this smear on Kerry. Don'tcha LOVE how the Bushies are trying to smear Kerry as an ELITIST? Compared to you and me, perhaps. But compared to BUSH?

Read the "letter" below, THEN READ CAPTAIN MIKE'S VERSION OF THE EXACT SAME LETTER BELOW THAT, to glean my commentary...(warning: Hijinx ensue!!!)

Subject: An Inside Look at John Kerry

 A friend sent this to me.

 Senator John Kerry

I would like to add my two cents about my John Kerry experience. During my  career as an Air Force pilot, I spent two years flying a small twin engine prop plane around the Pacific from my base in Okinawa, Japan. On one trip we had to fly Senator Kerry, his congressional aide, and a Navy Captain (Vietnam, A-4 fighter pilot) who was also in Kerry's party to various locations in Vietnam and Cambodia as part of the MIA/POW talks.

When I met him, he was wearing a shirt with a picture of his sailboat on it. I told him I had a 27 sailboat in Okinawa, he remarked "Oh I never sail on anything less than 135 feet." Thanks, Senator, "I feel even better about the meager salary I get paid for flying your mega-wealthy ass around the Pacific." When we first flew him into Phnom Penh, he went to the back of the airplane and grabbed the pizza that was put aside for the crew and passed it around to his staff. He was never offered any pizza because they were supposed to have lunch with the Cambodian government when we landed. The pizza was the crew's only meal for that day and he ate it.

Then when we picked him up in Cambodia, he was an hour late getting to the airport. Because fuel was an issue, we could not start the engines and therefore the air conditioning until he arrived. Phnom Penh at that time was over 100 degrees with 95% humidity and we were basically sitting in a greenhouse behind the cockpit windows. When he finally did arrive, we were wringing out our clothes from the perspiration. He walks out of the air conditioned car, into the airplane and asks us "Could you guys get the air conditioning running, I'm a little warm?" The other pilot had to physically restrain me from going back there and picking a fight.

Then we took him into Noi Bai airfield in Hanoi. After we picked him up the next day (he stayed the night in Vietnam, we stayed in Bangkok) we taxied out, ran up the engines for takeoff, and noticed that our prop rpm was vibrating all over the place. We taxied off to the side to look at it, but there was a good possibility that there was an engine malfunction and the engine may fail if we took off with it. Well, Mr. Senator sticks his head up in the cockpit and says "This plane WILL take off, I have a press conference in Bangkok in three hours!" (Maybe this is an indication of how he will run the FAA). American service members lives be damned, we had our Senatorial orders. We ran the engines again, and did not have the problem, so we took off and made it back.

During the flight, he told everyone how he had taken a Cessna (a small General aviation plane) up with a fighter pilot, and the fighter pilot remarked that Kerry was one of the best pilots he had ever seen. I don't know about other pilots out there, but it's hard to imagine a little, single-engine prop plane pilot being able to show the "right stuff."

 After Kerry left the plane, the Navy Captain came up to us, apologized and said basically that "he knows Kerry is a jerk" and that we should be glad We don't have to deal with him every day.

Your choice folks. Elections in November. You want a mega-millionaire ego-maniac it's-all-about-me crew-eating-pizzaite like Kerry or maybe a Green Party candidate like Ralph Nader? Or, God forbid, maybe even re-elect George Bush, a nice God fearing Christian bent on protecting us from terrorist attacks on US soil? Hmmm, let's see? Continued freedom under Bush or bombs in our backyard under Kerry (who will be sailing on his "minimum 135' yacht").

 As Fox would say, "we report. You decide."

CAPTAIN MIKE'S VERSION OF THE LETTER:


Subject: An Inside Look at THE EASTER BUNNY

A friend sent this to me.

Senator EASTER BUNNY

I would like to add my two cents about my EASTER BUNNY experience. During my career
as an Air Force pilot, I spent two years flying a small twin engine prop plane around the
Pacific from my base in Okinawa, Japan. On one trip we had to fly Senator EASTER BUNNY,
his congressional aide, and a Navy Captain (Vietnam, A-4 fighter pilot) who was also in
THE EASTER BUNNY's party to various locations in Vietnam and Cambodia as part of the
MIA/POW talks.

When I met THE EASTER BUNNY, he was wearing a shirt with a picture of his sailboat on it.
I told him I had a 27 sailboat in Okinawa, he remarked "Oh I never sail on anything less
than 135 feet." Thanks, EASTER BUNNY, "I feel even better about the meager salary I get
paid for flying your mega-wealthy EASTER BUNNY ass around the Pacific." When we first
flew THE EASTER BUNNY into Phnom Penh, he went to the back of the airplane and
grabbed the pizza that was put aside for the crew and passed it around to his staff. THE
EASTER BUNNY was never offered any pizza because they were supposed to have lunch
with the Cambodian government when we landed. The pizza was the crew's only meal for
that day and THE EASTER BUNNY ate it.

Then when we picked THE EASTER BUNNY up in Cambodia, he was an hour late getting to
the airport. Because fuel was an issue, we could not start the engines and therefore the air

into the airplane and asks us "Could you guys get the air conditioning running, I'm a little
warm?" The other pilot had to physically restrain me from going back there and picking a

1. Good work, Captain Mike

I'm sure I will get this in my email from my RW friend. I will send him your work in my reply.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

2. A long time ago some troll posted one real similar to this about Gore

insulting the secret service and someone asked him how he knew it happened and the idiot tried to claim that he was actually there, even though it supposedly happened inside a car with Gore, his son and secret service guys.

Also, it sounds like the same person writes these things.

[blondeatlast]

3. Snopes it. It's all crap.

www.snopes.com

Edit: Nice de-crapping work, though!

[Catch22Dem]

5. Snopes says "undetermined"

I wish it was a little more definitive than that. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't affect my opinion of Kerry ONE BIT, because I love the guy, but I'd like it to be more definitive so I could throw it back in the face of someone who sends me that e-mail.

[rock]

4. You left out the part about wiping his glasses on the

stewardesses blouse. Oh, wait, this isn't about bushsucks*, is it? Although it would be a lot more believeable if it were.

6. Here is another I just got it yesterday.

Probably getting Vets names via Patty act info.




from: [e-mail]



JOIN US in Filing Voter Fraud Complaints

And a Class Action Lawsuit Against

The Democratic Party

Like many Veterans we get constant political e-mails from the Democrat Party, from Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic Hopeful John Kerry in which they all "Claim" to support Veterans, and Veterans Issues.

When a political party makes specific claims, such as the ongoing claims of the Democrat Party to support Veterans, a legal DUTY attaches to abide by those claims. Or their conduct constitutes Voter Fraud which is not only a Federal Offense, but a State Felony in most states.

For example, in Florida where VetsForJustice.com is incorporated it is a felony of the Third Degree and carries Five Years in prison to use "intentional misrepresentation, trickery, deceit in connection with voting". .

After the National Democratic Party, the Florida Democratic Party, Democratic Leader Pelosi, and John Kerry ALL made public statements clearly intended to "entice" Veterans into donating to the Democratic Party, and voting Democratic, these same Democratic Politicians REFUSED to assist Veterans in correcting injustices in their cases, and in cleaning up corruption in the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Such conduct IS "intentional misrepresentation, trickery, deceit in connection with voting", since they are purposefully, and knowingly, lying to Veterans to trick us out of our votes, and donations.

We personally contacted Democratic Senators Bob Graham, and Bill Nelson, asking for help with Veterans Issues, and even provided both Democratic Senators with SOLID EVIDENCE of Criminal Conduct by VA Officials in the cases of Billy Kidwell, Tom Hubbert, and a number of other Veterans that have contacted us about corruption in their cases.

Despite BOTH of these Democratic Senators being extremely powerful, and both having the power to correct the injustices within days neither Democratic Senator has done anything, other then constantly lie to both us, and the Veteran.

We contacted Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and reminded her of her constant statements that she supported Veterans and asked for her help. She promised us that a Congressman Lane Evans would help us.

Again it was nothing but lies, and delaying tactics.

We gave Congressman Lane Evans SOLID Evidence of VA Corruption on several Veterans Cases. The evidence of Criminal Conduct by VA Officials was so strong those cases should have been resolved in a few days.

Instead not only has nothing been done, and phone calls, faxes, and letters by us to Congressman Lane Evans go unanswered.

We contacted the National Democratic Party week after week, and the Florida Democratic Party at all of their e-mail contacts week after week. Still there has been no response.

We contacted Democratic Presidential Hopeful John Kerry at every e-mail, and phone contact we could find. His response was the same.

This "Veteran" who wants to be President will not respond to Veterans that are victims of an extremely corrupt system.

Not only is it extremely clear that the Democratic Party is blatantly lying to Veterans about supporting them, to fraudulently get donations from Veterans, and "Trick" us out of our votes, but the Democratic Party is actively working AGAINST Veterans by lying to them, while actually helping the Department of Veterans Affairs cover up criminal acts against Veterans.

By deceiving Veterans into falsely believing that Democratic Senators, and Congressmen are "working on their cases" when in reality those Democratic Senators, and Congressmen are doing nothing but "Stalling, Delaying, and Killing Time", the Veteran is deceived out of pursuing other avenues to get his case investigated, because he falsely believes the Senator, or Congressman is "working on his case".

It's all a con game by the Democrat Party and those Democratic Politicians. Their conduct is actually helping the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover up crimes against Veterans. And helping powerful politicians STEAL millions, and millions, of dollars earmarked for Veterans.

Over 400 million dollars has been ripped off by corrupt VA Officials buying computer software that not only doesn't work, but is so defective it almost closed down the massive Bay Pines VA Hospital at Saint Petersburg.

We notified both Senators Bob Graham, and Bill Nelson, about the massive problems at the Bay Pines VA Hospital and how Veterans were being harmed. Neither was interested UNTIL there were several news stories about the problems, so they could personally profit off the news coverage.

No one will ever be prosecuted or help accountable for that massive waste of tax payers dollars, and thousands of Veterans Claims will be wrongly denied, and/or, illegally delayed for years to cover all that money.

The VA System is set up to cheat Veterans, while those in power steal millions, and it will continue to be extremely corrupt until there is an honest, independent, Inspector Generals Office, instead of the sham that exists now.

But the VA, and VA benefits, isn't the only way the Democratic Party has been betraying Veterans.

After making all their fraudulent claims to support Veterans a Veteran Activist Stan Smilin decided to run for Congress on the Democratic Ticket. As he went to Florida's Democratic Clubs he was snubbed at club after club.

We contacted those Democratic Clubs, the National Democratic Party, and the Florida Democrat Party, making them aware that we represent a whole "Class" of Florida Veterans.

We were snubbed.

The Democrat Party does not want Stan Smilin, a Veteran Activist, in office because he is not part of their "Clique".

Yet the Democratic Party, and their top leaders, have the nerve to keep committing fraud by saying they support Veterans!

They throw us crumbs as VA Claims sit for up to 50 years waiting to be processed, and they turn their backs on us when Veterans need help.

It's time that we as Veterans stood up and demanded honesty, and fair treatment, from politicians. And its time we help them accountable for their words, and broken promises.

Below is a link to the Florida State Site where Veterans can file an Official Complaint against those politicians for deceiving Veterans to trick us out of donations, and our vote. For Voter Fraud.

http://election.dos.state.fl.us/fraud/index.shtml

You can complain to the Federal Elections Commission here http://www.fec.gov/ .

We are in the process of drafting a Federal Civil Complaint against the National Democratic Party, the Florida Democratic Party, Senators Bob Graham (Who is actually on the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs and STILL screws Veterans), Senator Bill Nelson, Congressman Lane Evans, and each Democrat on both the Senate, and House, Committees on Veterans Affairs.

We can prove that they have covered up actual crimes by top VA Officials in the Cases of Billy Kidwell, Tom Hubbert, and dozens of other Veterans. If YOU want to be part of our Class Action Lawsuit please contact us and we'll explain the details. Click here on I want to sue these liars.

More Brown-Diaper Republicans at work.

9. Interesting to note these

Shmucks fail to refer to any correspondence they might have attempted with the Repuke Controlled House or * on the subject of Justice for Veterans.

[connecticut yankee]

7. Fight Fire With Fire

There are many similar messages that could be circulated about Bush.
For a start, how about his arranging an abortion for his girlfriend?

It was thirty years ago, but they're always complaining about what Kerry did thirty years ago.

I'm sure it won't be difficult to find many incidents about him that would make interesting dish.
