Kerry won a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts, having volunteered for combat. He amazed his commanders by charging INTO enemy fire instead of running away from it, and always winning. He killed a lot oif enemy and took three wounds. Every man who served for JK was in awe of him. The only exception is one who killed civilians against JK's commands. The guy, Gardner, ended up a mental illness case, then was recruited by Rush Limbaugh to tell lies about JK last year. Not a single rightwing leader has ever served in combat. Not one. Yet they believe they can smear our combat heros. Shame on them and shame on you.

Democrats Plan To Destroy Alito The Drudge Report ^ \| January 6, 2005 DEMOCRATS PLAN TO DESTROY ALITO Senate Democrats have put into place a plan that includes one last push to take down the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito as he heads into his confirmation hearing next week, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Senate Democrats intend to zero in on Alito’s alleged membership to an organization, they will charge, that was sexist, racist and way out-of-the-mainstream. MORE Democrats hope to tie Alito to Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP). THE DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a Summer 1982 article from CAP’s PROSPECT magazine titled “Smearing The Class Of 1957” that key Senate Democrats believe could take him down! MORE In the article written by then PROSPECT editor Frederick Foote, Foote writes: “The facts show that, for whatever reasons, whites today are more intelligent than blacks.” Senate Democrats expect excerpts like this written by other Princeton graduates will be enough to torpedo the Alito nomination. One Democrat Hill staffer involved in their strategy declared, “Put a fork in Scalito. It doesn’t matter that Alito didn’t write it, it doesn’t matter that Alito wasn’t that active in the group, Foote wrote it in CAP’s magazine and we are going to make Alito own it.” However, a Republican insider contacted about the situation said, “It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. The reason CAP was formed was to protest against people like Drujack who think killing chickens is similar to what happened at Auschwitz. I don’t understand how what a guy named Foote wrote in some magazine has anything to do with Alito.” The star witness on the Senate Democrats newly unveiled witness list for Alito’s hearing is freelance journalist Stephen Dujack. Dujack is a ’76 Princeton graduate and a longtime critic of CAP. Dujack was the author of a highly critical 1986 op-ed in the PRINCETON ALUMNI WEEKLY titled “The Contradictions Of CAP.” Dujack slammed the group for its policies opposing Princeton's decision to admit women and minorities. Dujack now says: "Judge Alito will have to explain to the Senate Judiciary Committee why he paid dues to an outfit... that was overtly racist and sexist for its entire 14-year existence — at times passionately so, too." However, THE DRUDGE REPORT has learned the Democrats’ star witness comes with baggage of his own. Dujack penned an op-ed in 2003 that compared farm animals to Holocaust victims and gave money to the Kerry presidential campaign. In the April 21, 2003 LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dujack wrote: “Like the victims of the Holocaust, animals are rounded up, trucked hundreds of miles to the kill floor and slaughtered.” Dujack went on, “To those who defend the modern-day Holocaust on animals by saying that animals are slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: if the victims of the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and murder?” THE DRUDGE REPORT has also uncovered a purported $2,000 donation Dujack made to John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004. Developing.... One Republican strategist warned, “Democrats plan on making this hearing all about personal smears. If their star witness to do this compares eating a Big Mac to what the Nazis did during the Holocaust, they better rethink their strategy.” Developing...
