Name one libelous statement Ivins has made.
I have only read one article of hers and it was very measured, well researched and was not slanderous at all.
As one of the foremost experts on Bush, she is qualified to dish dirt. But now you need to back up your opwn BS by proving a libelous statement she made. I'm waiting.

Coulter's libel is against half the country and most of the world. In calling half the country "traitors" she deserves to be brought down hard. I consider those fighting words. If a man said them to my face I might punch him out. I also despise Coulter for championing the Joe McCarthy era which was as close as this country ever got to Nazism (so far that is).

Kerry's best friend was General Pershing's son who was killed in Vietnam. He had many other friends who were killed in Vietnam. He fought there, killed and almost died (three Purple Hearts, Silver and Bronze star). He had earned the right to speak out against that awful war.

I went to school with Patton's grandson. He was an anti-war moderate in the 70's. Very nice guy. Patton by then might have been senile, or just his old ornery self. Patton was not a nice guy nor even humane, though he was tough on the Nazis. Kerry did not aide and abet the enemy becuse by the time he protested we'd already lost and were in a hopeless quagmire. We couldn't egven trust our allies. It was Iraq times ten every day. Ending that war ASAP was the best "winning" strategy. Only fools chase lost causes.

According to AS: >We couldn't egven trust our allies.

I wonder which allies we couldn't trust during the Vietnam war. Could it be Australia, who fought side by side? Could it be the Brits who were with us all the way? <g>
