How dare you misrepresent Barry Goldwater's words to justify your cowardly behavior!

You're too funny. Ironically, Barry Goldwater was smeared to the extreme in '64 by the democrats as a warmonger. Instead, we got LBJ. That would have been funny, if not for the tragic loss of thousands of American lives in Vietnam at LBJ's incompetent hand.

You advocate censorship to prevent the smearing of a good reputation. That's sick. What happens if somebody successfully creates a fraudulent image of himself before it is questioned or critiqued? Under your rules, that's too bad as far as the truth is concerned. The fraud was first, and prevails. First come, first preserved.

That's irrational and nutty, like you. Your philosophy would perpetuate the popular myths of Marx, Lenin, Hitler, and Ghengis Khan.

You're one dumb ass, absolutely clueless as to how democracy, free speech, and free enterprise work.

Moreover, you aren't smart enough or educated enough to cite Barry Goldwater on your own.

I think you are a shill -- a mouthpiece -- for an off-shore organization that is sponsored by, or allied with marxist interests, and you're spoon-fed a lot of the garbage you post.

Chinu...like I said...you have to run your thread as you see fit. But the sound of one hand clapping is very quiet.

I agree with you that the Smearvets are doing basically that...smearing Kerry. So many lies have been told that it isn't funny any more. They have no credibility with anyone that thinks about it.

They claim that they're angry because Kerry talked about the atrocities. Tommy Franks said a few days ago that what Kerry said was correct. That doesn't mean that every vet committed atrocities, Kerry never said that. Some are so thin skinned that they take offense to the truth ....even when it doesn't apply to them...or maybe it does and they have a guilty conscience...and that is what drives them to lie like this.

The smear vets do have some pretty close ties to the Bush campaign too...very dangerous ground for the republicans to be treading on.

Chinu! Say, would you like a starter course on the meaning of "free speech"?

Oh, you are aware, aren't you, that Barry may well have lost his bid for the Presidency because of LBJ's smear tactics.

OTOH, Barry was an honorable man. Something you may have difficulty comprehending. I should know. I was there. I met the man and I worked in his campaign.
