Jessica Lynch for President

Think about it. I'm serious. How could they smear her? She seems to be leaning our way to judge from her rather goofy appearance on AAR today.

At least for VP, standing next to Wes CLark or John Edwards.

Visualize how pissed Rove would be.

2. Teresa Heinz Kerry helped her family fly to
whatever base she was at to see her. remember how her family was not able to see or speak to her and all that confusion ? Teresa let them use one of the company planes to fly and see her for themselves.

3. OK, Teresa for president

We wouldn't win, but what a great campaign it would be.

I love that woman.

4. She kept her mouth shut for months
while her 'capture and injuries' stories were being played out. None of it was true. She didn't confess until after her parade and the signing of a million dollar book deal were done.
I appreciate her service, but not her disservice.

8. she was a 20 year old kid

from a sheltered and poorly educated background. she was gravely wounded and her best friend in the service died right next to her in the attack. she was held prisoner, whether compassionately (as seems to be the case) or not. surely you don't hold it against her that she didn't challenge the bush administration for a few months. and her book does not repeat the lies, actually.

12. well gee, thanks

for letting me believe that.

you ought to hear her interviewed. she's clueless and naive. she may have been manipulated by others far less naive around her (i'm sure she was). but all i am saying is she ain't worth the vitriol. she sounds like a kid. and basically she still is.

22. rcm, I didn't mean for you to take what I said that way.
We definitely disagree on this subject, but sorry for the way I said so.

24. Yeah, and back atcha. What is your problem?
That she didn't limp through the halls of the military hospital screaming "I've been used"!!!!!

Why do some Dems feel that we should be able to exploit her just as the BFEE did?

She's just a kid that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not Joan of Arc.

23. "confess" ? She was in total isolation while her "capture and injure
stories" were being exploited. She was not *able* to speak out.

I think she did a smart thing by waiting to say anything until she had done the book. She knew that people like you would go after her throat.

Sorry, but I don't think you appreciate anything about her at all.

10. How could they smear her? Have you been watching what they did to Kerry?
We ran a decorated war hero in the last election. The Swift Boat Liars For Bush told us he was a cowardly childkilling traitor. Do you really think they couldn't do the same thing to Jessica Lynch?

I will now describe for you an Attack Ad vs. Jessica Lynch.
---
(Low droning sound) (slowly fade in black&white picture of JL)
Deep contemptuous drawl: "Jessica Lynch wants you to think she's a War Hero, but when the chips were down, she collaborated with our enemies."

(switch to interview footage with paid-off Iraq war vet)
Paid-off Iraq war vet: "I was there. I saw it all. I know what she did."

(fade in black&white picture of JL in Iraqi hospital bed)
Deep contemptuous drawl: "Jessica Lynch turned on her own squad to make friends with the Iraqi soldiers."

(another Iraq war vet interview)
2nd paid-off vet: "When our convoy was under fire, I saw Lynch shooting at us, too."

(switch to fuzzed out nude pictures of JL)
Deep contemptous drawl: "This millenial Mata Hari used her sexual lures to gain access to Top Secret military plans and secrets, then sold them to Iraqi terrorists. Jessica Lynch wants you to believe she's a War Hero, but she's a Filthy Traitor Terrorist. Would you vote for a Filthy Traitor Terrorist?"

Jeb Bush: "I'm Jeb Bush, and I approve this message."

See how it's done? Easy as peeance freeance.

18. Sorry, but it's just not funny. Stick with knock-knock jokes.
In fact, I think you should ask the moderators to delete this juvenile thread entirely.

15. Sorry, But I can't go here. I live in WV.
The natives here for the most part love her. I did hear a few people say they wished she would have died, They got so sick of the hype. I honor the fact that she served, and considering the fact that she did it to make it out of the "Holler" (for those lucky enough to not be privvy to such talk that means Hollow.) She was raised in, Good for her. But for telling the truth AFTER she inked a million dollar book deal.... :puke:

25. Oh they'll smear almost anyone.
Edited on Wed Nov-10-04 12:55 AM by LoZoccolo
They'll smear her for saying the story that was put out about her getting captured was not true; they'll say she let down her fellow troops or something.
