Subject: POINTER: Frederick Company Fires Employee Who "Heckled" Bush (Washington Post) - msg#00112
List: politics.progressive.news
From: Tim & Nancy Callison <toto339@xxxxxxxxx>
POINTER
There's just no chance for any opposition at all anymore, is there?
Especially if someone chooses to ask factual and pointed questions. And
it's even more amazing how society's level of tolerance for such
behavior varies depending on whether the Administration in power is
'Democratic' or 'Republican'. Heckling was almost considered mandatory
when Clinton was in power; when Reagan was in power, you were supposed
to behave towards him almost as though you were sitting in church. As a
bitter survivor of the Great Reagan Depression, needless to say I don't
approve of the non-stop deference (almost worship!) being shown towards
him. Ah, well...there is nothing so uncommon as common sense.
Respectfully,
Tim Callison

Five killings in two days in Iraq starts a Congressional and media
frenzy.
Five killings in two days in south Los Angeles doesn't even make the
local news.

The Kerry campaign provided evidence which supported its complaint to the
Federal Election Commission of illegal cooperation between the George Bush
campaign and Kenneth Cordier of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group
which has been slandering John Kerry. Nevertheless, George Bush refused to
disassociate himself from the Kerry smear campaign. For purposes of damage
control Cordier was advised on August 21 that he could no longer be an
"official" supporter for Bush-Chaney and serve on Bush's veterans steering
committee, as he had done until this disclosure was made public (in the
Washington Post). Cordier is a former prisoner of war in the Vietnam War
who also supported Bush in 2000 and his name appeared on a Bush Web site
earlier as a member of the veterans steering committee.
Also on August 21st, a journalist who commanded a boat alongside John
Kerry in Vietnam broke his 35-year silence (Saturday) to talk about the
incident and defend Democratic presidential candidate against the lies
told by Republican critics about Kerry's military service and integrity.
These Bush/Karl Rove associates tried to do what they did to McCain and to
McClelan to Kerry, only this time it isn't working.
Mr. William Rood, who is now an editor with the Chicago Tribune said
the lies told by Kerry detractors are "simly untrue." {Bush Lies and
everyone associated with him lies}
"There were three swift boats on the river that day in Vietnam
more than 35 years ago -- three officers and 15 crew members. Only two of
those officers remain to talk about what happened on February 28, 1969,"
he wrote in a story on the newspaper's Web site. "One is John Kerry ...
who won a Silver Star for what happened on that date. I am the other."

Bush is Bad for Veterans
"George Bush needs to learn a certain four letter word: FACT. It is a fact
that he has overextended the military to its thinnest levels in years and
forced thousands of soldiers to involuntarily extend their deployments. It
is a fact that he threatened to veto the $87 billion supplemental and sent
troops into battle without body armor. It is a fact that he has broken his
promise to America?s veterans and made it harder for them to access
quality health care. George Bush is too busy attacking to get his facts
straight and he is out of credibility..." (August 22, 2004)
