GOP 'mocking our troops'

NEW YORK (CNN) --
Delegates to the Republican National Convention found a new way to
take a jab at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's Vietnam
service record: by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts
on them.
Morton Blackwell, a prominent Virginia delegate, has been handing out
the heart-covered bandages to delegates, who've worn them on their
chins, cheeks, the backs of their hands and other places.

suicide.

The effort to win the war on terrorism cannot be won by slandering
heroic war veterans like John Kerry. Clearly, Karl Rove is handing
John Kerry a landslide because the sleazy effort to destroy the
credibility of a war hero has magnified the contrast between those who
served their country and those who were AWOL.
John O'Neill on ABC's This Week With George Stephanopoulos: "How do I
know
he's [Kerry] not in Cambodia? I was on the same river, George. I was
there
two months after him. Our patrol area ran to Sedek, it was 50 miles
from
Cambodia. There isn't any watery border. The Mekong River's like the
Mississippi. There were gunboats stationed right up there to stop
people from
coming. And our boats didn't go north of, only slightly north of
Sedek. So it
was a made-up story." [8/22]
In 1971, O'Neill said precisely the opposite to then-President Richard
Nixon." CNN then aired the audiotape of O'Neill telling Nixon that he
was, in
fact, in Cambodia during the Vietnam War:
O'NEILL: I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border on the
water.
NIXON: In a swift boat?
O'NEILL: Yes, sir.

Support our Troops? Don't expect that from the right - they'd rather mock
them.
