Why do they get away with SLANDER?!
If Liberals and Progressives did things like this, they would get lynched! Why are they allowed to do it?

"A very good rapist" - Ann Coulter, referring to Bill Clinton

Ann Coulter asserted that it is "factually correct" that former President Bill Clinton is a "scumbag," and she falsely claimed that Clinton "raped a woman molested interns in the White House, and then lied about it and committed felonies."

"They're traitors" - Ann Coulter, referring to people who were Anti-Bush

Right-wing television and radio hosts were quick to adopt the false Republican talking point that Senator John Kerry blamed American troops for the missing explosives. In fact, Kerry criticized President George W. Bush's administration, not American troops. As Kerry's October 25 "Statement on Bush's Failure to Secure Explosives in Iraq" declared: "After being warned about the danger of major stockpiles of explosives in Iraq, this administration failed to guard those stockpiles -- where nearly 380 tons of highly explosive weapons were kept."

"Liberals do have a big problem with decent, law-abiding American Christians, and their problem -- judging from "The Jesus Factor" -- is evidently their religious faith. ... God help liberal bigots who have no faith but themselves and whose prejudice and hatred is reserved for those who defend them." - David Horowitz

According to various polls, liberals do have faith and do believe in God. According to a March CBS News/New York Times poll, 32 percent of Democrats said that religion is "extremely important" in their lives; 35 percent of Democrats believed it was "very important"; and only 9 percent of all respondents said religion was "not at all important" in their daily life.

Why do they get away with it? I am not going to stand for this any longer, and I hope we can unite against this menace.

2. Because it's hard for public figures to sue
However, we might consider taking a class action lawsuit against Coulter for calling all of us non-public figures who don't support Bush, "traitors." Or is the statement too vague?

Any attorneys on the board who could provide some depth into this?

6. The media helped the SBVF"T" ! O'Neill only served 6 mos and Kerry 4
on swiftboat duty but he is on record saying average term on the swifts was 12 months ! Kerry's total service was 3 1/2 years compared to O'Neill's 2 years...

This website
http://www.swiftboats.net /
allows for actual crew and boat research.

It appears from Kerry's record that he commanded PCF 44 and PCF 94
http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/service_timel...

PCF 44
John Forbes Kerry, LTJG, OinC 12/68-1/69 An Thoi/Cat Lo Boston, MA
PCF 94
John Forbes Kerry, LTJG, OinC 2/69-3/69 An Thoi Boston, MA (replaced Peck - 1/30/69)

From past statements O'Neill has said that average service aboard a Swift boat was 12 months. Kerry's was about four months, from the swift site alone...

John O'Neill's takeover on Kerry's boat shows
John Ellis O'Neill, LTJG, OinC (email deleted) 9/69-3/70 An Thoi/Cat Lo Houston, TX

So O'Neill's service on the Swift boat was about six months. Ahem, Kerry's total service record of about 3 and 1/2 years is smeared by a guy who only served about 5 or 6 months on a swift boat and who told "Mainstreamedia" that the average service on a swiftboat was 12 months :

"In the Swifts, says O'Neill, the average length of service was twelve months; John Kerry was in for four."

http://www.nationalreview.com/rose/rose200404211228.asp

Why isn't an investigation by mainstreammedia themselves being done ? The Lie Boat ! To top it off this guy O'Neill was badgering Kerry about claiming to be in Cambodia--which no one with or without security clearances would or should have been talking about--while himself making the claim to Pres. Nixon (discovered only because of the WhiteHouse taping system ! Thanks Dick) http://www.washingtondispatch.com/spectrum/archives/000... .

The SBVFT should be investigated further and ALL of their lies exposed.

Beyond that, articles like "Nixon's Treason" should be examined further since the origin of October Surprise can be found there in 1968's scuttling of a potential peace agreement, that would have saved around 20,000 US troops, which many have speculated would have been identical to the 1973 accord.

The resulting Toledo Blade awardwinning articles that verify Kerry's Winter Soldier testimony, along with a viewing of Stanley Karnow's 'Vietnam: A History" on PBS, would also go a long way to explaining why these SBVFT are just attempting to rewrite history.

Sen Kerry served his country honorably and these attempts to smear him rightly deserve to be exposed in their full ugliness.

4. I believe Ann Coulter fantasize having sex with Bill Clinton.
She/he doesn't know how to handle it, so she/he masks her/his feelings with hateful and idiot comments about Clinton and liberals.

5. It's simple....................
neo-cons own the mega-corporations that control all of the media in this country, and KKKarl Rove controls the neo-cons. He's their guru, he's the straw that stirs their drinks. KKKarl gives the marching orders, distributes the talking points and makes sure there are no repercussions from the FCC. The neo-cons do as they're told, trash Dems and deify reslugs, get massive tax breaks and access to "bush's brain", which usually means MORE massive tax breaks later on.

That's the game, that's how it works. They can say and do anything they want because they know they'll never be held accountable by an administration that itself is never held accountable for anything. It's a wonderfully unethical scam they've worked out between themselves.
