Cheney ridiculed Kerry today for wearing "camo." So what else is new?
Rove signaled months ago that ridicule was to be their weapon of choice to distract the American people from George W. Bush's sorry record.

When you can't talk about your own record, you try to destroy your opponent. Well, RNC thugs, we, the American people, are getting sick of your slimy politics. I think this will become evident to Rove and his minions on election day. They cynically manipulate the American people.

It is they who will do and say anything to win; they show us this every single day. They are without honor or integrity.

26. Unfortunately, here in ARIZONA many Democrats
... seem spooked that Kerry will take away gun-rights. As mentioned in a thread not too long ago, I cannot convince my Democrat registered brother to vote Kerry because he backed extending the Assault Weapons Ban a few weeks ago. He has quite a collection, and to him that's all it boils down to.


... I'm still trying to convince him that there are other issues needing attention more, but he continues to be a one-issue voter. He once told me "Without the Second Amendment, all the others are meaningless".

Kerry has often been wearing a yellowish tan jacket, and some stupid reporter was ridiculing it.

Wasn't it "Bozo" and "Ozone Man" or some such shit from George I?

History is repeating itself. This makes me even more optomistic that it's just about over for the evil cabal in the White House.

19. maybe this will annoy all those hunters out there
camo is worn during duck, goose, pheasant, etc hunting because birds can see in color. Hunters wear camo! Orange is worn hunting deer and other mammals that only see in black and white.

24. You're SUPPOSED to wear camo when you hunt
Cheney will be calling for his arrest if he hadn't.

And does he REALLY want to get into a discussion about what people are wearing? At least Kerry actually WENT hunting.

37. Every time I see those pics
of weewee with his weewee all bunched up, I have to laugh. This guy was supposed to be a FIGHTER pilot? The very first thing you do after you pop the canopy is reach down and yank those straps, otherwise, you pinch your balls black and blue when you stand up--it's like wearing a pair of toddler's skivvies. It is SOP, automatic, and second nature--you do it without thinking, like turning on your windshield wipers when it starts raining, or taking the key out of the ignition when you park and turn off your vehicle.

He was obviously so eager to leave the aircraft (maybe he had a panic attack, like he did back in his Guard days) and just could not WAIT to egress. His forgetting to do something that is so basic to pilot training makes it look like he either did not learn that basic lesson, or even more frightening, FORGOT what he learned.

Even frequent passengers, such as flight surgeons, who have to wear that gear know enough to yank the straps. You can't count on your little buddies to stay where you placed them, and it hurts to walk even if there's no shifting or pinching.

Idiot!

43. No, You Are NOT
Every Hunting Season the newspapers have articles about how much Day Glow Red (or is it Orange) every Licensed Hunter is supposed to wear. There is a minimum about of square inches they have cover. This is to keep them from accidentally being shot by other Hunters. Last year I read about a hunter who was accidentally killed by another hunter who was using a Bow and Arrow.

What I keep wondering is; As animals are color-blind, why do hunters have to wear camouflaged outfits? It doesn't seem to make sense to me.

56. during deer season.
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 11:47 PM by enki23
where i'm from, anyway, you don't need to wear hunter orange to hunt geese if it isn't deer season, make that *shotgun* deer season. i used to bowhunt deer, and we didn't have to wear orange then either, unless you were suicidal enough to be out bowhunting during gun season. personally, i just stayed home while the fucking yahoo rednecks ran deer to death, through field and fence, in their rusty SUV's.

anyway, while you'd imagine it should be difficult to mistake a hunter for a deer, it's even *harder* for your average hunter to do a convincing goose impression.

*flap* *flap*

(in other words, any goose hunter firing at a low enough angle to hit another hunter needs to have his head bashed in with his own shotgun. hunter orange isn't an issue. camo is just fine, if you bother with it.)

34. Sooooo... John Kerry can tell the difference...
... between the hunting of a true game bird and the killing of an endangered kildeer, as Dumbya managed to do during a photo op hunt during the Texas gubernatorial campaign. At least Ann Richards could should straight, and John Kerry can identify a real target before he starts shooting.

35. Although its already been said, I must also get my...
....two pennies in:

HUNTERS WEAR CAMO. I wear my suit to the office when I play CPA. I wear old jeans when I work outside and help out at the farm. I wear camo when I go whitetail deer hunting. Any change in this rotation would look awfully stupid.

The first response in this thread (about Kerry also wearing camo in 'Nam) was probably the best response to a thread that I have seen all day. Great job.

38. Bush was awarded "Governor Of The Year" by a sick hunt club
while he was Governor of Texas. Safari Club International, an organization that advocates the international hunting and killing of endangered species awarded Bush the "Governor Of The Year" trophy and his father went to the annual banquet to accept it. While he was Governor of Texas, his state became known as the canned hunt capital of the world. Safari Club also engages in canned hunts, where they buy and pen old circus and zoo animals so that big game hunters can shoot the tamed animals at point blank range and mount their heads on the wall.

While I don't approve of hunting, at least Kerry does it the traditional way. Bush conspired to allow Texas to deregulate its environmental and animal protection laws to permit the sickest of practices.

42. They constantly sound (as do all repubs) like some elementary
school spoiled brats talking behind the back and spreading rumors about other kids. The reason this resonates with their followers is because their followers think in terms of elementary school, are childish, are socially immature and are just plain stupid.

45. What Happened to the Semi-Auto Shotgun
He was given as a present from Union Workers?

You don’t suppose that all of the ridicule about possible Interstate Firearms Trafficking Violations had anything to do with it? I remember the Drudge articles and the Right Wingers about the four Federal Laws he could possibly be violating by accepting the shotgun. And that excludes the Massachusetts State law that says that all Firearms must be Registered. Something about a Firearm Owners Card or something like that. That and the fact that Kerry tried to ban the shotgun he was given.

He should not have gone hunting.
His brand new outfit says that he really is not a hunter and gives truth to Cheney’s accusation.
By not using the Gift Shotgun he says “Screw You” to Union Workers.
And why isn’t he carrying the goose himself? That says Photo Op more than anything else.
And Right Wingers are already saying the Goose’s wings were clipped. Is there any way to dispute this?

People, I keep saying that Dean should have been Our Chosen One.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know. I just hate the way the Bush Leaguer was creamed during the Debates and the way the Polls keep the race so close.
The Yankees lost last night. Can you blame me for being so depressed?
