#1 Here's more for the duplicity of Kerry and VVAW (another part of his sworn affidavit):

In April 1971, I attended a VVAW protest in Washington D.C. known as âDewey Canyon III.â During this event I was present when protestors, including John Kerry, threw medals and ribbons over a fence outside the U.S. Capitol. I witnessed a man holding a bag of ribbons and medals and handing them out to other protestors. I saw that many of the ribbons and medals were not those that would be received by veterans of combat in Vietnam.

#2 Ribbons and medals "made in Hongkong" maybe. 10 dollars a dozen?

#4 When I last checked the thread last night, I didn't see the hat tip, but I saw a rather effective post he wrote:

TGA on conspiracy theories.

It's one of the things that annoys me most about the more hardcore conspiracy theorists: they won't come out and SAY anything they'll have to defend. They just hint, and disproving all the hints isn't enough to disprove the hinted theory; it's a very clever rhetorical trick.

#5 Another observation I'd like to make is that their facts aren't meant to be links in a chain of deductive or inductive logic: they're meant to work on an emotional response instead, and they rely on the emotional response continuing against all reason, even after most of the links have been shown to be false or cut away.

#7 AMEN TGA! This goes directly to the "Bush was AWOL" conspiracy. Bush has records that he was in and attended Guard drills, but he can't account for every moment of his time. He has payrecords that show service, but there are gaps in training. If you had never served with a guard unit you would have to rationalize theat this represents AWOL. Also since he missed his physical, there had to be some reason (possibly drugs) why he missed that particular physical. There are many RATIONAL reasons for there to be a gap in (documenting) drills and missing a flight physical. However the conspiracy crowd needs to take the most damaging rational and run with it.

#8 Cool, TGA! Congrats!

Please say you're coming to America to observe the "observers" during the election. And that you'll be coming through Richmond. :-p

#9 The Kerry campaign strategy invokes the image of a really, really, fat girl saying she should be prom queen cause her size 8 opponent's butt is too big.

And though it resonates with those who are jealous of the potential prom queen - Fatty Patty is ultimately campaigning against herself.

Ya'd think that she might try the "but I have a better personality approach" - but since her personality sucks..it's the best that Fatty Patty can do can keep herself alive in the race.

#10 Have they already launched the "November 1971/Kansas City" torpedo? Living in Illinois (amongst the bluest of blue states) I don't get to see much in the way of advertising.
