Ann Coulter Speaks -- on Rather, Cronkite and Vietnam

[Ned]

Horse's A, what you say about Vietnam is somewhat accurate in that many in the media turned against the war after Tet because they had just been told by Westmorland that there was "light at the end of the tunnel." After Tet, everyone knew that Johnson's strategy of escallation to match the enemy would never work in forcing the North to negotiate a peace.

That is why the people elected, barely and only because of Wallace, Richard Nixon who promised to end the war.

right - so Bush gets 4 more years because you haven't got sick of the war yet

[Kontiki]

Ben, I'm still waiting for you to respond to my points. A simple admission of defeat would be fine. Frankly, I'm getting sick of you getting your ass handed to you in a debate only to turn around and present the same arguments at a later date, pretending you weren't beaten down in the first place.

So, for the last time, either actually defend your position that the CPUSA and Democratic platforms have no differences between them, or admit that you made a blatently false statement.

I still don't see where Kerry says he will ratify Kyoto, but I don't mind conceding this point since it has no bearing on my argument.

Which means that he would seek to repeal NAFTA how? Do you understand what repeal means?

No it isn't. We believe in abortion on demand without limitations.

Something I agree with commies on

Wow Caligastia, all of your polical views must be identical to those of both the Democrats and the Communists!

Come on, Horse. Get real.

We have the same exit strategy as did Nixon.

The "let 'em rot" exit strategy? It certainly worked wonders for South Vietnam...

Someone needs to chill out.

Sorry, just trying on BK logic for size. Doesn't fit.

Kontiki, you must admit, though, to a certain congruency. The Dems cannot be as extreme as the Commies -- otherwise they couldn't win any elections. So they sugarcoat their programs with moderate words, but their actions in power are indistinguishable from what the communists would do:

1) continue to erode the family by any number of initiatives;
2) hike taxes on the rich to make the taxes progressive and restore death tax confiscations;
3) reduce the influence of religion and to ostracize it;
4) reduce or eliminate property rights;
5) support organized labor above all;
6) reduce free trade between nations; and, above all else,
7) reduce the military power of the United States.

Ben's mistake was that he opened his argument by implying that the democrats and the commies were almost identical.

Obviously there are differences, but in the issues that matter to me most (taxation, immigration) they are very similar.

Loin, you and I both know that South Vietnam was killed by the Demoncrat Congress who cut off military supplies after 1973 and who deliberately hamstrung Ford in '75. The Demoncrats were dancing in the aisles of Congress, giving each other high fives, as fleeing Catholic Vietnamese were shown in panic at the approach of Ho's Heroes. As each SV citizens' copter fell helplessly into the sea, the Demoncrats raised another toast to their health and short lives.

Kerry now wants to do the same with Allawi. His demonization of Allawi yesterday is very similar to the demonization of the government of South Vietnam by Kerry in the 70s. He did it before and he is doing it again.

Communist bastard!

The only thing I must admit is the high probability that one of your posts will make me burst out laughing. And yet again, you don't disappoint!
