John Kerry touted his Vietnam experience, minus the torture of course, and was hailed as a hero.

McCain didn’t ride the back of anyone. He lived through that stuff.

John Kerry told stories of fellow veterans but no one said he rode their backs to the Senate. Do you really want to go there?

That’s the difference. McCain is not a whiner. Five years of capture isn’t enough for you is it?

There’s always a test. Who was there longer? You found one man who was there longer. Is that McCain’s fault? NO. McCain whose dad was a full Admiral could have had early release based on whose son he was and he refused.

So apparently you’re now pro-torture. As long as the person being tortured is someone you disagree with politically.

As a veteran you people disgust me. Support the troops my ass. You’ll be blaming them for the horrors and injuries they suffered when they come home. The same way you blame McCain.

You say McCain volunteered? So did John Kerry. Why don’t you see him as a war criminal?

And don’t give me that war wounds nonsense. People who are total quads use computers. Double amputees use computers. What is McCain’s excuse? He can hold a microphone but he can’t move a mouse? This war wounds claim is pathetic and untrue.

Biden is in the dog house again.

OT
UMass chaplain fails in effort to boost Barack Obama’s chances
University of Massachusetts officials yesterday quashed efforts by an Amherst campus chaplain to offer two college credits to any student willing to campaign in New Hampshire this fall for Democrat Barack Obama.
Chaplain Ken Higgins told students in a Sept. 18 e-mail, “If you’re scared about the prospects for this election, you’re not alone. The most important way to make a difference in the outcome is to activate yourself. It would be just fine with McCain if Obama supporters just think about helping, then sleep in and stay home between now and Election Day.”
Higgins added that an unnamed “sponsor” in the university’s History Department would offer a two-credit independent study for students willing to canvass or volunteer on behalf of the Democratic nominee.
“It is relatively (easy) to do late add-ons,” Higgins wrote.
But university officials disavowed themselves of the effort after inquiries yesterday by the Associated Press. They said it could run afoul of state ethics laws banning on-the-job political activity, as well as university policy.
“There is no independent study for credit in the History Department that involves partisan political work, and no such activity has ever been approved,” said a statement issued by UMass-Amherst spokesman Ed Blaguszewski.
Higgins refused to identify the History Department sponsor and referred all further questions to university officials.
Blaguszewski said Higgins is one of about a dozen chaplains from different faiths working in Amherst, the flagship campus among the university’s five schools.

MAJOR GAFFE ALERT

I am LMAO at the ignorance of the following comment by Joe Biden to Katie Couric and for Couric nodding in agreement with it. This is shocking!

Behind The Scenes With Joe Biden
CBS News Anchor Katie Couric Spends The Day With The Democratic VP Nominee

Sept. 22, 2008

CBS News was with him last Thursday during one of the rockiest weeks in history for the U.S. economy, something that wasn’t lost on the six-term senator.

“Part of what being a leader does is to instill confidence is to demonstrate what he or she knows what they are talking about and to communicating to people … this is how we can fix this,” Biden said. “When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’”

Here is the YouTube video clip of Biden with Katie Couric. You can see the comment at the 1:59 mark regarding Roosevelt going on TV after the stock market crashed.

Hmm, so, according to Joe Biden, when the stock market crashed in 1929, FDR appeared on TV and talked candidly with the American people.

Gee, that sounds so nice, doesn’t it? And Katie Couric just nodded along in agreement with Joe Biden.

But wait! There’s a little problem with what Joe Biden said: Historical Facts

The great Stock Market crash was in October of 1929.

Herbert Hoover was the President then.

FDR was not elected President until November 1932, the first of four terms.

AND furthermore…

I’m pretty sure FDR wasn’t popping up on TV to reassure the American people of anything in 1929, given the fact that it was not until TEN years later, in

(wait for it)

1939 !!!

when FDR became the first President of the United States to

(wait for it)

APPEAR ON TELEVISION !!

FDR was at the 1939 Word’s Fair in New York in 1939 and his appearance was broadcast to a handful of TV sets in the New York area by RCA. That was the first time a US President appeared on TV.

Question:

How can Joe Biden get a pass on uttering such ignorance? Did Katie Couric not know what a whopper Joe Biden was telling? Golly! Is Joe Biden senile? Seriously, WTF?
