Kerry?s Crowd: Sweating, Squealing & Sinking

Poll
Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

A fat guy in Miami wearing sackcloth, eating habanera peppers and doing pushups on sheet metal at noon in late August would sweat less than Kerry and his cronies, these days.  It seems the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have caused the Democrats to perspire profusely. 

What?s happened to Mr. Perfect?  Could he have, uhhh, been less than accurate concerning his valiant Vietnam days?  Did he just exaggerate ? or did he lie? -- when he testified and speechified about those atrocious atrocities?  Did he really believe that Ramsey Clark had it right on his return from Hanoi, when he said our POWs were being treated well by the North Vietnamese?
 
Kerry?s camp is losing its collective cool, and not without cause.  In fact, they?re coming unhinged like a stuck door at Jackie Chan?s house.  They are squealing louder than the wild boar I hit in the spine with a 100 grain Muzzy broad-head launched from my High Country bow while hunting in Texas. 

Have you seen the liberal commentators on TV discussing this stuff with a Swift Boat Vet for Truth or someone who has actually read Unfit for Command and now has serious problems with Kerry?s war claims?  They?re straight tripping.  Watch them! 

Try this: next time you see John O?Neill or one of the other Swifties or an objective, Kerry questioning guest being ?interviewed? on one of those lopsided talk shows, turn the sound down on your TV and just observe the body language of the opposing forces.

The Bush haters are shifting, scratching, hemming, hawing and twitching like a 14 year old Amish boy whose mother has just fond his Playboy stash in the horse?s feed bag.  If you sat through Psych 101 in your undergraduate days, you?ll know that they know they?re skating on thin and melting ice.  Conversely, watching O?Neill and company sit in utter confidence, calmly answering -- when and if allowed -- with pause-free precision every question shot at them, communicates that these dudes are either telling the truth ? or else they are Lecter-like in their psychosis.

Since the critics of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth cannot deal honorably with the heat created by Unfit for Command, since they cannot respond to the evidence the Swifties have piled on their candidate, and since they cannot give any substantive reason for Kerry?s egregious and slanderous lies in ?71 before the Senate and on TV, they revert to:

1. Constantly interrupting the Swifties or their supporters while they?re speaking, never allowing them to complete a thought, or ?

2. They go Tourette Syndrome on them screaming uncontrollably, and if that doesn?t work?

3. They strategically roll their eyes, and if that doesn?t work?

4. They flail their arms angrily in the air like an enraged Nell, and if that doesn?t work?

5. They kick them off their talk show like Chris Matthews did Michelle Malkin on Hardball.  Hey, Michelle, don?t take Chris? oaf-like behavior personally.  He?s got to be upset that the Fox Report, Seinfeld re-runs, and The Animal Planet keep pulling his remaining viewers, who by now must be mostly his relatives, away from his show. And the final tactic the desperate losing left reverts to is? Continued...
