unclewest: I am reposting my private message to you from the John Kerry for President thread. I take this tack because I can no longer post over there (thank God) and I don't trust those behind that thread to pass my messages on to you. So here is what I just posted: Monday, August 23, 2004 9:11 AM ET To: Poet From: Andrew N. Cothran Monday, August 23, 2004 9:10 AM ET To: unclewest From: Andrew N. Cothran unclewest. I am once again proud of you. You have moved deep into enemy territory over there on the John Kerry for President thread. But, as Poet advised you: "If you are here to change our minds, you are wasting your time." And so you are sir. But for a worthy cause. There are two things you need to know as you push deeper into that jungle. 1. It is peopled by a group of avid if not rabid posters who pride themselve on their ability to not-think. They are visceral enough. But thinking through the viscera does not penetrate the brain. And since the brain is the repository of thought, and since the brain is not engaged on that thread, you are dealing with an enemy who feeds only on emotion. They wasted their minds a long time ago looking for an anybody but Bush candidate capable of bringing down the Republican cause. 2. You have to be careful to watch your hind-quarters. You may think that a response or two from any of those posters indicates that you are hitting some targets. But beware! Even as you post, I see ChinuSFO, the thread moderator, loading his BB gun with rice pellets saved over from one of those purple heart encounters of his hero, JFK the Second. Once he gets you clearly in his sights, he will cock the BB gun, pull the trigger, and, low and behold, you wind up with JFK the Second rice pellets embedded in your butt. Now, that attack on the rear from the rear may please you as a battle-hardened Veteran of the Real Vietnam War. But on the other hand, it is too late for you to rewrite that record, submit it to Central Command, and receive still another ribbon for you well-decorated chest. I am going to set the clock to see how long it takes ChinuSFO to bann you from the thread (the equivalent of a pellet gun attack from the rear, gun loaded with rice pellets saved over from JFK the Second's heroic stand against that lone teen-aged Viet Cong enemy that Kerry is said to have killed.) cc: ChinoSFO Poet

Bob Dole should be ashamed of himself. How does he know if kerry bled or not in getting his 3 purple hearts? He is way out of his element here and should go back to being the spokesman for Viagra. Perhaps its viagra that got the swift boaters up for their job. Old pols of all stripes should leave the stage--bob sounded impaired when i heard him this morning. Lizzie should have kept him quiet on this issue. Bad form for a former senate colleague and "friend" of Kerry (his words). Mike
