"Kerry's Purple Hearts are the New Clenis."

It has recently come to my attention that Swift Scum Maggot For Bushit, Billy Schachte, in a desperate attempt to resurrect old RW lies, has donned his purple heart band-aid/codpiece and disrespected this nation's veterans once again by dredging up the long since debunked lies about John Kerry and his service in Vietnam. A recent article in a Charleston N.C. rag which I shan't be linking to, as it deserves no traffic, quotes Schachte regurgitating the same smut peddled by the Swift Scum in the 2004 (s)election. I guess Kerry hasn't been "staying in his place" lately, and the RW dip shits are out, en masse, again.

*YAWN*

While it's mildly amusing that these dumb asses have nothing better to do, I think it's high time that the voting public take a firm stand against this low brow brand of bullshit, and lay it to rest once and for all.

One of the lies this douche Schachte is repeating, is that Kerry has never released any military records.

OK. Kerry released his military records IN THEIR ENTIRETY on April 18, 2004. They were available for viewing and download, as well as PRINTING on his JohnKerry.com website. I know this because I used to work with a HORRIBLE, rabid, right-wing, fundie, Michael Savage worshiping, redneck skank whore who once asked me back in July of 2004 "Why hasn't Kerry released his military records if he has nothing to hide?" I looked at her and said, "The fact that you would even ask that shows you are talking out your ass and know nothing about the man. The records have been available to the public since April 18 of this year. How could you not know that?" Obvious shock registered on her face, and then she stuttered..."Um...uh...that's not true..."

So, I went home, printed THE WHOLE DAMN RECORD - HUNDREDS OF PAGES - brought it into work the next day, and dropped it on her desk with a heavy, resounding thud and said, "Read it and weep. When you're done reading every single page, then I welcome you to debate me on anything you THINK you know about John Kerry that I don't."

Bitch never said a word to me again. NOT. ONE. WORD.

Ok. Can I vent here? Because I feel there is another facet to this whole story that is by far the most frustrating element of this entire bullshit debate. And yes, I AM about to swear.

Questioning Kerry's military service at all is, in itself, a straw man. These Bush fellating, penis-envying paid shills, Shit-eating Schachte, Cock-Smoking Corsi, Orifice-for-face O'Neill et. al, all have one thing in common (besides diminutive man parts) they ALL know they don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to actual debate on REAL, CURRENT issues that actually affect America today. They don't have a snowball's chance in hell of retaining a minute scrap of dignity if they were to attempt to throw their hats into the ring with Kerry and go toe to toe on ANY subject whether it be Vietnam, Iraq, or fucking needle felting, they'd be shredded like cabbage in a painful, crushing instant.

That in mind, they create this phony specter of wrongdoing on the part of John Kerry - all those years ago - because it is so much easier for liars and con men to repaint decades old history and hope to have a bit of their bilge stick, than it is to stand up to the heroic man who outshines them in every way today.

Knowing full well that Kerry's military service was indeed heroic, and his service record sterling, (unlike the AWOL, chicken-hawk, coke-addled, booze-pickled Bush) well, that just gets their goddamn pet goat, doesn't it? The simple fact that Kerry's detractors have been sitting about on their vast, jiggling buttocks for the past 35 years, becoming more and more impotent and embittered while Kerry continues to grow, to speak out against illegal wars and inept administrations, taking the Repuke noise machine by the short and curlies and swinging 'em around like rag dolls - well that chaps their pasty hides like nobody's business.

Kerry owned O’Neill’s impudent, whiny, sorry ass on the Dick Cavett show in 1971, and has owned it ever since. He and his putrid ilk have been gunning for Kerry ever since. It is interesting to watch Kerry's transition over the years from a soulful, thoughtful, articulate anti-war activist coming back from Vietnam who balls-out took on congress in front of the whole world and demanded an end to the Vietnam War, to a seasoned, experienced, astute, and still very vocal critic of the Repuke agenda and tireless advocate for our country's Veterans and working families, who stood up on April 22, 2006, the 35 year anniversary of his original congressional testimony, and demanded an end to the illegal occupation of Iraq.

Meanwhile, the "penis envy brigade" has undergone a transformation of their own. They have become more and more shrill, dishonest, desperate, pathetic and craven in their attempts to discredit the man who makes them all look so utterly ridiculous, and has for the better part of their despicable lives. Watching the "trifecta of dicklessness" continue to spiral deeper and deeper into madness and lunacy in the face of Kerry's non-stop onslaught is as grotesque and gut wrenching to watch as maggots birthing on a piece of road kill.

Which brings me back to the straw man. What do they REALLY have to go on? Nothing. So they manipulate the debate and detract from real issues by roping the Democratic party into a nonsensical debate about Purple Hearts Not Deserved and Military Records Not Released and completely ignore the fact that not only have these fallacies been debunked a million times over, and are smokescreens invented solely to take the heat off a failing president, a corrupt administration, and a war effort gone horribly awry in the hands of a dim-witted, simian figurehead without a brain cell to his name. They figure if they make a pariah out of one of this administration's most vociferous critics, it will be the critic, not the criminal who will be crucified.

This can only work for so long. One mistake that the Democratic Party, Kerry himself, and a good number of his supporters have made time and time again (though well meaning for certain) is to continue to engage in this debate as if it were valid or worth a nanosecond of consideration. To acknowledge it as anything other than drivel keeps it on the table and makes it a dead horse that these assholes can keep beating.

I am not advocating ignoring it, and not addressing it. Not at all. I am suggesting instead, hammering home a swift and blinding rebuttal, then a quick dismissal of the straw man, and a prompt and brutal return to the 21st century and the issues that plague us today. Because on Iraq, Health Care, The Environment, The Economy, Human Rights, ALL the major issues, we hold all the cards. And we shouldn't forget that or let our detractors forget that. Which they clearly haven't, hence the ever resurrected, oft repeated, always irrelevant "Purple Heart Debate."

Kerry's Purple Hearts are the new Clenis.

A simple solution is to swat it down like the pest that it is. Whenever the phrases "military records" "Purple Hearts" "Swift Boat Maggots for Bushit" are uttered, the quick, go to response needs to be "Nice Straw Man, Total Bullshit, Do You Have The Balls To Have A Real Debate On Current Issues?"

Lather, Rinse, Repeat, ad nauseum. Hit them over the head with this like a relentless beating, as often as necessary.

Let’s not play the "Do you still beat your wife?" game anymore.

One of the things you learn in the health care field is how to "reorient" confused patients. They may be suffering from some sort of acute confusion, delirium, etc. and need to be brought back to reality early and often. Tell them "Your name is Joe Smith, you are at Memorial Hospital, the year is 2006, you had a car accident." Don't let them continue to believe the year is 1968 and they are in Vietnam under enemy fire. Reorient them. Bring them back.

"Nice Straw Man, Total Bullshit, Do You Have The Balls To Have A Real Debate On Current Issues?"

If these shmucks insist on bringing up their ridiculous, inaccurate version of thirty-five-year-old history and continuously trying to polish that turd until it resembles a valid point, we need to promptly reorient them. Early and often - do not play into the fantasy.

We need to take back the debate and insist that these fools face the current reality. Which is, that if they were to step out from behind the curtain of deception that they dwell behind, and dare attempt to have a real debate with Kerry, Dean, Murtha, Feingold, Gore, Clark, ANY LEADING DEMOCRAT on the actual issues that face our nation in THIS era, (which is what really matters in today's America) our guys would promptly slap the dust off these doughy bitches in, as Bush would say, "the whim of a hat."

It's no secret why they keep regurgitating old, tired bullshit - because they can't rewrite the present, and their lies and “foggy recollections” of the past are all they have. Let's not let them get away with this anymore.

Let's reorient them.

Early and often.

Rant over, thanks.
